Why is Koston even in BATB when he always gets smoked the first round now. No way he wins against Carlos.Could say the same thing about Malto. Dude’s been in every BATB and has only made it past round 1 ONCE. He’s just happy to be invited
They did pair up some good matches off the bat though.

Good game overall, this first game was better than maybe 90% of last season. This is a good sign
This reminds me of that South Park episode where all the kids hate Little League, and every team is expertly losing to eliminate themselves. Mark made it look pretty real.
Good game. I know it must be for video length / YouTube algorithm but I do think it’s a shame each trick has a longer edit now. Makes the games feel a bit more ponderous. If you look at ones from way back all the stock tricks would be edited super fast and then more space would be allowed for more impressive ones + crowd reactions etc. Built the tension a bit, which I feel is gone now.

I get that Primitive’s audience fuckin loves the Berrics, but PRod really did them a solid by sponsoring this. It’s like slapping your company’s name on a sinking ship. Took some balls honestly.
I always assumed Konston is just insecure about his declining abilities. Must be hard to go from almost inarguably best in the world and then still have to perform in front of everyone while getting noticeably worse. I can understand where his acting out comes from. He could've easily been more like P-Rod or Reynolds though and kept working on his skating / switched it up a bit to where people would still be wanting to watch him just as much. Guess it was more appealing arguing with kids on twitter.agreed. reynolds is only a few years younger and if you put him in there now he might actually do better than he did the last times just because he still skates that much.
Edit - yeah what Fongstarr said. It sucks how you have to work so hard to get good at skating and then work even harder just to try and slow down the pace at which you decline. It does seem to come easier to Koston than most though, I'm sure he could've kept it up better.

Still - at the age no-one except Koston to perform on that level. Look at Gino. It’s enough for him to do a pivot to fakie in a quarter.

It's like how Mullen stopped skating on video because he said he didn't want to "rot in public". It's a tough thing to do psychologically. I think Koston being extra goofy is definitely a defense mechanism because he knows he's not where he once was. But as long as he pretends to not take it seriously, he can keep the illusion to himself and others that he could still go if he really tried.

That was a good game. Lots of the classic tricks, not too much nonsense, kind of made it interesting that it ended on a 360 underflip.
An underflip, by the way, is not what burner described below. It's also not the kickflip underflip style as done by Rodney, like carbonite pointed out. To do a shuv it underflip, you gotta tuck in your back toe under the board as you shuv, then flip up. I really like this trick, especially in games of skate. It's also really fun to do as a bigspin flip on a bank.

Watch it frame by frame (. and , keys on youtube). He flips it with his back toe under the board. Cole knows better than you
Watch the LA boys. Gabriel Rodriguez explains the fake 360flip pretty well. It's kind of like an old freestyle kickflip where you hang your toe over the edge and pull the rail of the board upwards to make it flip over. (Rodney also uses this technique a ton in the Rodney vs daewon videos doing those all crooked grind flips that look off)
Watch it frame by frame (. and , keys on youtube). He flips it with his back toe under the board. Cole knows better than you
you seem to have conveniently stopped those screenshots just before he starts flipping it with his back foot
I bet it's a real mind fuck to not be able to skate as you used when things came relatively easy for Koston (I assume). Skating is sort of unforgiving like that. Everyone will essentially have a decline on their skills. It's just a matter of time.
It’s not as dramatic as you’re making it sound. BATB has historically been the one feature of the Berrics that nearly everyone enjoys.

Cody's style might look boring or whatever, to some but factor in how tall he is, and it's amazing he looks that athletic or smooth on a board.

He's definitely a lot more aesthetically pleasing now than he used to be. There was for sure a bit of hometown hero circus trick shit going on when he won but it seems like he's fixed basically all the stuff I complained about now..skates faster, pops (most of) his shit, and looked good doing it.
Do you know what size his setup is? It always trips me out when giant dudes like him and Sewa have such crazy tech skill on smaller decks. Like, I skate 8.25 and have sz 12 feet and they get in the way all the time, I can't imagine doing switch flips and shit with even bigger feet and smaller boards (I think Sewa skates like an 8). I guess maybe it would help with like scoopy stuff since you can just whip the tail around but I can't imagine there's much margin for error on anything toe flicked.

I don't think he'll ever shake off the rep he got for looking like a bear skating on a tech deck when he first appeared but the last couple of years in BATB his skating has actually looked pretty decent

This is a flatground contest.

Most of the core/street pros who enter this definitely know they aren't gonna win, they're just doing it to have some fun, get some extra exposure and entertain us. Appreciate that.
Also, this is a real contest with real money on the line, like a decent chunk of real money you can put in your bank account and pay bills and shit.

Batb was once a contest featuring pro street skaters playing SKATE. It wasn't about featuring youtube goobers who only skate flatground until it started to slide into the murky territories of that pro VS joes trash. The real excitement of Batb wasn't about the finals so much as the energy of seeing legitimate street pros in each match skate flatground with flaws like any other person. It made the losses and victories more impactful. The finals were exciting too but once the floodgates opened to let the doubleflippy skaters in then nobody really cared about who won anymore. Seeing a skater like Patrick Praman included in Batb13 offers a flicker of what the contest once was and could be but instead we're stuck with Tyler Peterson and his ilk.

Nobody thinks Praman doesn't kill. Nobody thinks Peterson could put out a better street part or is better than Praman in any way, including Peterson I can almost guarantee you.
This is a flatground contest. Street guys aren't going to thrive in this because people like Peterson, Giger, Griffen etc are dedicated flatground skaters who put in hours every day just learning every flatground flip trick, and that's fine. Everyone can skate however they want, that's like the best fuckin' part about skateboarding.
If you're going to be mad at anyone, be mad at Praman for entering this knowing he's not a flatground wizard.
It's like being mad at freestyle skaters if Ishod entered a freestyle contest and didn't win, it's like, yeah man, fuckin of course he's not gonna win.
Most of the core/street pros who enter this definitely know they aren't gonna win, they're just doing it to have some fun, get some extra exposure and entertain us. Appreciate that.
Also, this is a real contest with real money on the line, like a decent chunk of real money you can put in your bank account and pay bills and shit. I understand a gentlemanly game of SKATE, but if thousands of dollars are on the line I ain't hating on anyone for going for the throat. Skaters don't get paid shit, this is a rare chance at a somewhat decent payday for all their hard work.[close]
Batb was once a contest featuring pro street skaters playing SKATE. It wasn't about featuring youtube goobers who only skate flatground until it started to slide into the murky territories of that pro VS joes trash. The real excitement of Batb wasn't about the finals so much as the energy of seeing legitimate street pros in each match skate flatground with flaws like any other person. It made the losses and victories more impactful. The finals were exciting too but once the floodgates opened to let the doubleflippy skaters in then nobody really cared about who won anymore. Seeing a skater like Patrick Praman included in Batb13 offers a flicker of what the contest once was and could be but instead we're stuck with Tyler Peterson and his ilk.[close]

Time is the most valuable thing we have on this earth. If it's a waste of time to watch you're spending more than money on a mid product. Also, cariuma is calling all the shots, I don't believe that Berra or koston have any real control. Who do you think is paying that rent and all the production costs.
If they did they could do almost anything they want with the competition after learning their lesson last year and these are the choices they make? I'd honestly rather see a former pro and legends season for game of skate than no names, especially flat specialists.
Most of the old pros can still throw down on flat, the game would be more traditional, and maybe someone who never got the pay day they deserved back in the day could win a nice chunk of change.
As an aside, circus tricks are only impressive when you don't expect them from certain pro skaters. Everyone else who does them and practices them excessively is lame af and a kook.
You can't really compare BATB in it's infancy when the internet was much smaller and more restrictive, to BATB now, after the rise of Youtube and Instagram and people with no industry connections who aren't traditional pros are able to get exposure.
I know none of them are here, but people like Giger and Griffen have a metric fuck-ton of fans, mostly kids, who want to see them skate. So now and then, these people are going to be given a platform because thousands, maybe millions of kids online are clamoring to see them. They still don't get big name sponsors for the most part, none of them skate for legit board brands, none of them are getting the cover of Thrasher, this is like the one time you ever have to see them.
I can't stress this enough, I don't even like any of these YouTube kids (well, I kinda like Giger if I'm honest), I just understand the landscape is changing and I'm choosing not to be the old man yelling at a cloud.
Tyler Peterson 100% has that 8 Mile song playing in his head on repeat
This match has been hard on the Battle at the Berrics community.
http://youtu.be/DaHVu_Z60fI
I think it's fun sometimes when people come out swinging. Then again this was a game from a way more relaxed Era of BATB. I think a fun option would be for defense to get one trick per game to make the person on offense redo their trick over a parking block or a flat gap.
Same with the nollie front heel body varial.
Another sick game from the old days.

Also the quick edits back then were so much better.
Am I the only one who prefers the way they're put together now? They were only cut together so quickly in the early BATBs because it was pre Youtube and they were trying to save server space when the vids were hosted on the berrics site. I'd much rather watch that Cole vs Busenitz game at a slower pace.

Right before the video ends you can hear Zach mention how Ginger just went straight into the hard shit.
It’s actually good strategy to go through the basics because these YouTube guys get so used to doing the circus tricks that they tend to lack consistency with some of the basics.
I don’t really know either of these skaters or typically care much about batb but I personally found this match hilarious. Coming in hard w goofy circus tricks only to get two or thee letters from your opponent doing every shove it variation and ultimately lose from fairly basic tricks? Spectacular

WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW
Consistency-wise that might have been one of the worst games yet, they were both missing and bailing a lot of stuff, but it looked so fun that it made it one of the most entertaining ones yet. If Nick Holt and Cody Cepeda played this same game people would be shitting on it hard, but because it’s Louie and Curren and they’re both obviously not even taking it that seriously and just having fun and because the crowd was getting so amped it made it a great watch.
Currens bs late flip was my favorite part. Also that pressure flip trick that curren was trying would have been a crazy land if he would have gotten it.

Noticed there weren’t Curren & Louie “golden ticket” decks for sale afterwords. Just one w/ a list of entrant’s names instead.Looks like Dill and Olson can still agree on a no not never policy
What gives?
Wonder if they simply declined to participate, or perhaps their sponsor(s) forbade it?
Maybe they were too busy with actual skate biz doings to be photographed in a cohesive format?
Possibly one of our Berries insiders can shed some light?
Regardless, I’m pleased to see they’ve kept their legacies clean & lean, and as a result, god will no doubt have mercy on their souls.

I feel like giger was sur he was going to win thid game, even the whole thing. Something about him rubbed me the wrong way in this game, beyond the trick selection. The mix of him acting goofy but also taking it very very sériously felt off.
Maybe he was just nervous tho. Since he took a plane from suisse and flat is his bread and butter, the stakes were high for him I guess

Disagree heavily with Giger's expressions not working here. He was visibly expressing stoke or apprehension towards tricks he may not be as confident in. How does that not jive when its a competition? God forbid someone in a contest expresses how they truly feel about the stakes of the competition.
Also, the airpod thing is fucking weird to nit pick on. We all knew people skate with airpods/headphones sometimes and it's likely he forgot to take it out or played music to keep (like his IG post was referencing). Shouldn't be that big of a deal especially since most people watching didn't even notice the airpod until someone calls it out.
I say that as someone who isn't a fan of either dudes currently, but recognizes they're not nearly as insufferable as the John Hill YT skate personalities. Like another poster said, y'all just don't like skaters with personality

I get, but do not support the Jamie hate. He did hard tricks, well guess what he wants to win. He also did all the tricks proper (within his ability/pop), including the circus ones. He’s a flatground specialist and runs with it without being an asshole, good for him.

once you get into circus trick territory, each person has their own specialized repertoire of weird technical tricks that they have on lock, and even the really highly skilled flatground skaters don't necessarily share those. if you come straight out of the gate with the weird shit no one else can do and end the game in 2 minutes, it doesn't make for a very entertaining game to watch.
also, i would argue that SKATE is just as much about consistency as it is about difficult flatground tricks. you may not like to watch pros do kickflips and heelflips, but some people do. it's really cool to me to see someone run through 25 basic tricks perfectly without fucking up, just as cool as seeing someone do a 720 flippity floppity thing one time. personally i'd rather watch Luan run through basics popped 4 feet high going mach 10 for 5 minutes than someone like Giger start doing gross late flips 4 tricks into the game. at the end of the day it's just personal preference i guess but i do think it just makes it a more entertaining experience for everyone to at least spend some time building up to the more technical stuff.

it's hard to shake that shit
Let's bet on how many new rules have to be added because of andy.
My guess is two
I like Andy when he is doing his thing on his own, but he should be barred from any kind of competition. Dude seems to be weirdly competitive too.
I’m really confused why he’s wearing a helmet playing a flat ground game of skate.His pH levels go whack when he takes it off. He’s gotta keep it on
By that logic he should never really take it off, surly driving a car, running, going up or down stairs are all potentially as risky to your head.
I’m being serious, I’m fine with helmets as a calculated risk mitigation, but he not being reasonable in his calculations.
Slides y Grinds fuckin blows BATB outta the water, wish they're bring it back

This is going to be tpuds year.Gonna just leave this milk here
Ahahahahahahah
What the fuck did I just watch
If Andy is really that consistent with all those weird lil lame ass tricks and can manage to stay on offense then he might just be able to win this whole thing, which would be hilarious. People would be so bummed ahahah.
I can’t imagine anyone in the bracket being able to match too many of his weird tricks, or any at all maybe.

I like how they did a special video on these guys “death blows” hyping it up as their unanswerable final trick.
Cut to andy doing said trick, that clearly within the rules, and they’re all mindblown he’d try it. They gaslit him pretty bad there, but still, what the hell was he thinking with that thing?

I think I'm just gonna skip games with Andy Anderson, Jamie Griffin, and Tyler Peterson. I know there are people that like to see the circus tricks out the gate, but I think it really takes away from the quality of BATB to see guys get skunked in 3min. It's extremely predictable and not fun to watch especially when the other guy clearly isn't into even trying to fight back

In fairness, he got him on a 3 flip, fakie varial heal, Ollie kickback (pretty similar to a kickflip under flip?), and a front foot impossible, and an old school heel flip. Those all seem pretty fair for a game of skate, no?
To be clear, I’m not an Andy fan and could see other reasons for not wanting to see more of him.
Jamie griffin is simply really good at flat ground, maybe the best ever, don’t get why you wouldn’t want to see that.

Yeah like I said it's not fun when the guy looks like he doesn't even wanna be there. T Puds looked like he was just waiting to lose. And I have nothing personal against Jamie or Andy but in a BATB it's not entertaining to watch them just skunk everyone. It'd be more entertaining in a competition full of people that practice asinine tricks all day like they do. I'll probably watch them when they go up against each other but I'm not gonna wait a week to watch a 3min game of them ass blasting a pro.
I felt bad for Andy but also loved it when the guy was roasting his powerslide trick loooool

Andy Anderson never outgrew his helmet, just like he never outgrew his trick selection or his stiff legged no pop style. So basically your typical 12 year old grom at the skatepark. Thinking about it, Erik Bragg is like the annoying dad that used to skate, so makes sense that he’s there.

I feel like people forget that early games had the chance of being cutthroat too. CK1 was straight disrespecting everyone and it was hilarious. The crowd booing when he lands the nollie late flip is my favorite.

Because, && is obviously on the spectrum. It’s probably why he doesn’t quite get social queues, why he’s weirdly competitive, and probably why he’s into freestyle in the first place. He probably should have lost his turn for breaking the rules with the boneless first trick.
But he gave TP a couple letters with legit tricks, including a tre. The majority of tricks he did were ‘legit’.
And i honestly thought the old school kickflip was funny.
The half-flip should probably be retired at this point, but unfortunately I think we’ll be seeing a lot of these again.
Id like to see && keep up with more regular tricks and a sprinkling of weird, but since i honestly think he’s fairly autistic, I’m not holding my breath. Just marveling at how someone like that has made it this far in skating, and has completed in almost all major events.

I knew the legal team was going to find the loopholes, and I think you're right.
How is Sewa's hardflip late 180 not also a violation of the interpretation of the rule that got the wet stop dq'd?

Is it just me or does Suciu’s hair look darker than usual?
Johns switch heel on D. That shit was like wah pow on the soles of his shoes. Fast lil fucker. Very nice. Probably felt good AF.
I'm a kickfliper/switch flipper. I don't really heel flips anymore. Primo is way too likely especially switch.
But yeah I love TJ. I wanna scream disgusting somethings into his ear. Ask what back water swap meet do you buy your soft ass G pants at as I stroke the plush goodness while looking deeply into those lil G eyes.
I used to date a Candy raver girl who would break in those in several colours too. I loved her drugs sooooooo much it was hard to let her go.
In the end I wanted different drugs and I had just met a girl who's mother was getting 300 OC 80s a month for her TMJ.
I was like DAYEM! What'd she catch Tmj from blowing the Dr or what?
She giggled. That's how I knew her mom's drugs was the right drugs for me.
Also that's a late v heel not a late pressure flip.
I think berries intentionally miss name shit for reactions from controversy.
One of the RAW kids told me the name of that trick so I know it is true.
There's been little more legit than RAW since. They should call all the shots on what shits called and everyone should respect that.
But yeah TJ is kinda hot. Too bad he won't be back this year. Bow whikka wicka wicka porno wah wah son.

I think the argument that skateboarding has regressed because, for many people, the purpose of skateboarding has shifted from the act itself to documenting every instance of the act is meaningful. It's no longer enough to skate, it must be recorded and broadcast to the world. Kind of a bummer.
There have always been people who use skating as a way to chase clout, but it was the case for the decades before everyone was given a decent camera to carry around in their pocket that many people just skated for fun without any need to document any of it. "Cool story bro" me all you want, growing up in the 90s we'd jump down the most stairs we ever had, or learn new technical tricks, without even thinking about recording it. The joy came from the act itself. There might be something to be said for the possibility that losing that aspect of skateboarding has caused a degradation in its value.
However, the counterargument is one I make all the time, skating is what you make it. If your still loving the act of skating itself, it doesn't matter who else requires a video camera to even start skating. They are irrelevant.
Or was this whole thing about circus tricks and bad outfits? Because in that case, there has never been a shortage of either. That shit is definitely part of the fabric of this little hobby of ours.

That just isn't true. Professional skateboarding was regularly documented, but regular skateboarding humans weren't constantly documenting themselves, in large part because we didn't have the technology. It's also a matter of fact that even pros often skated without cameras. Since smartphones, it has definitely become far more prevalent to skateboard almost exclusively while being recorded doing so.

Pros used to film video part, skate demo's, and the occasional contest. And skate flat in between.
Now the most important is filming some dumbass instagram story posts. I remember homeboys rattling tricks off down the 8 just to warm up for the streets and stay sharp. These days guys won't even throw a flip trick down it with passing buddy the iphone first.[close]
So skateboarding has regressed because people post their warmups on IG instead of selling the footage to Logic or Progression? That’s a flimsy argument and it kinda seems you’re just upset about having to age[close]
Pros used to be a lot more pro. Look at the two guys in the video above and then watch some limo video and you'll see what I mean.

Once you learn how to pop them properly, they just suck right up to your feet. I love switch 180s and general because you land regular. Makes them mentally much easier for me.
I have mean pressure flip gameExpand QuoteOk what’s everyone’s death blow?[close]
I always skip through the rules but some of them seem unclear. Is one do-over on offense a set-in-stone rule? What about when you set an obviously illegal trick on offence? Is there a clear rule stating you either get another chance to do a legitime trick or pass your turn? Because I was wondering about that with Andy's bean plant fingerflip trick he started with...That was my main gripe with the &&/Torey battle. He shouldn't have had a redo on offense when the trick attempted was illegal, the refs have been useless. Also it kinda incentivizes && to start matches with some freestyle mischief. I just want them to enforce the rules and challenge him to rely on his legal unconventional tricks i.e. pressure flips, late flips/shoves, body varials, double flips, cancel flips.
Literally all of Joslin’s sw front heels were fine. Ref doing too much that day

What "yuck" sponsors does he have? Only one I can think of is Flip, and even that is not as bad as some other board brands like Bryte, Heart Supply, Thank You (dudes behind it are great but execution is off), etc. Maybe Monster, but a lot of skaters have energy drunk sponsors nowadays
Thunder
Bones
Etnies
Flip (at the time)
All of those are quality sponsors. The only one he truly does deserve better on is the board sponsor as Flip's relevancy has waned dramatically

If you don't pop them high enough, you have to slide a good portion of the second 180° to get to 360. Examples can be found in pretty much every game that features any 360.
That reading of the rule can apply to any trick with a rotation. Every 180° flip, every big spin, etc. Which regularly performed tricks other than shuvs can you slide in such a matter that it would warrant a rule? None come to mind, but I might be overlooking something.
Not sure if anyone knows this but Tyler Peterson and Jordan Peterson are related. Kinda makes sense.Expand QuoteI have very much dislike for the Peterson guy. Something about him makes me annoyed just looking at him.[close]

Maybe it’s because he looks like Frankie Muniz from Malcom in the Middle
Surely for the sake of consistency the same one or two people should ref every game.
I get this isn't exactly a legit and serious competition, but it would lend the proceedings a bit more credibility.
Ah just like the ol' saying: "A bad 360 is like porn – tough to describe but you know it when you see it"but unlike porn its only legal if youre under 18

Judging by his appearance, yes. That defence was nutty too
Love the comments on YT calling Jamie the flatground goat. Like yeah, he potentially has the biggest bag of tricks but most pros participating can do many of the same non-circus tricks with a lot more style/confidence. It's like watching someone who has learned all the chords and theory on guitar but struggles to actually make it sound pleasing.

Tits are the real winner amirite
I figured that was some random influencer with a really sad make-a-wish request. You know its gonna be a bad time when they drop the video at midnight and hope the algorithm buries it.
I haven't wanted enough of &&'s stuff, so it genuinely looked like he was trying to be funny and throw the game. Then the algorithm fed me some news story with him on local news discussing the merits of helmets. Woof.
It's too bad we don't get to see && and Wormburner Griffin face off. I was looking forward to not wanting to even see a skateboard for a few days.
I can actually see the negative effects of Internet/YouTube skateboarding culture in real time. The amount of brainrotted people saying Andy threw the game is nuts. They really think he's a flat ground God that has every single trick locked in and decided to just say fuck it for seemingly no reason.
I actually had some faith in Andy’s flatground skills, but ss heel and nollie heel, aren’t those considered basic tricks? I wouldn’t even consider joining a tournament if I didn’t have those on lock. I haven’t ever landed one myself tho so idkRight? Whatever I think about the man’s sometimes weird trick selection I thought of him as very talented and figured he’d know the very easiest switch flip tricks. Kinda shocking.
I'm glad && lost

Do people actually find the referee commentary entertaining in any sense? Shit is so stupid
Another circus clown with no ethics. Joslin played a gentle man's game, and he had all the right reasons to throw that flag. It was a fucking footdrag. No joke, watch it in slow mo. Douchebag referee (A friend of the clown) could have at least checked the video, and the circus clown should have at least wanting to do a redo. It doesn't stop there but the clown knew Joslin was injured and couldn't do double flips and forward flips. Just terrible sportsmanship. Might as well rename this to Battle of Cariuma.
BATB died after the sixth one. All those games had suspense, and you looked forward to each and every one of them. They were actually having fun. This isn't fun to watch any more.
I wrote a comment too on the video, and they ended up deleting it and evening banning me. Like what the hell? I'm done with the berrics. This was the last good content they had and now there's basically nothing left than Steve Dingleberry's ego.
A little disappointed with Joslin's behavior.. A little too sure of himself for my taste.. And a little haughty in his manner. And damn.. He gained quite a bit of weight :oYeah, reminded me of TJ Rogers in his BATB13 game.

Perhaps don't invite all these fucking losers that nobody wants to see skate, and we wouldn't have this problem.
I think its safe to say Joslin's gone soft on us. The way he was dappin up Shmeaterson after every trick and giving him props. Joslin's won batb before, he's got a successful career already, shmeaterson doesn't. I think he kinda just wanted to let TP move forward so he can go home to an ice cold rockstar and chill his wife/kids. Shmeaterson needs to be a man and not let total weight/foot on the ground slip by, he should've taken the letter like he deserved.
(https://i.ibb.co/ZzDMRvd/tp-k.png) (https://ibb.co/B2MCHvL)
Before this game Joslin said his ankle was hurt so he couldn't do double flips and forward flips. Just for that I hope TP loses in the finals again.
Also was that Mr pop shuv himself in the crowd? Sean Davis, local venice park hero and most hated batb competitor of all time?

What comment did you write that got deleted?
It would be great if they made it more like "sports entertainment." Sure, there would be the skating aspect, but it would be killer to have it be half-skating and half pro-wrestling. Imagine Stu Graham flying off the top turnbuckle in a match against Shane O'Neill. Really even the odds...
This could help pros out immensely by giving them a gimmick to run with and opportunities to have their own merchandise and catch phrases. Not to mention, they could have "finisher" tricks which give the other person 2 letters automatically.

He isn't "popular" because he's humble and a bit boring (boring in a positive way. He's himself) I've met him before and was super cool and talkative. Of course, when you think of guys like Mike Mo, Sean Malto, Chad Muska etc. Contrary to Joslin, They all had charisma. But either way, Joslin is a legend. He had a rough past, came out of nowhere and shook the entire skateboarding community. And he was all humble about it. He 360 flipped el toro. He's raising two children. He's a legend and a man to look up to. I got mad when seeing how that loser ref disrespected him.

He did the Ollie down El Toro before the Tre Flip so I would guess, someone edited the rollaway from the Ollie to the Tre Flip. But it looked hella real if it was some sort of editing magic. I am 80% sure Chris said in one interview he rolled away a bit from the Tre Flip with a broken truck and he has no desire to go back to El Toro anytime soon. And I mean, he Tre Flipped the Davis gap which is just absurd.
It does not matter anymore. It’s like season20 of greys anatomy or something1 of 413 Hope St
that was entertaining

That was fun. Cody could have ended it if he had just taken the SW fs biggerspin and not tried the redo - I don't think it would have been whistled and I can't imagine Cole has those on lock (who the fuck knows with him though). I loved Cole seizing the moment and sniffing out his weaknesses, then going for the throat. I will admit I kind of wanted to see Cody advance because I feel like he had a better chance to take out the circus guys. I think the only chance Cole has is to win the RPS and get as dirty as possible right away.

I’m okay with being in the minority since it’s my opinion. It’s not that I don’t like Chris Cole, I’ve actually been a fan of his since 411 #40, and I damn near wore out his In Bloom part. He’s a great skater, but I can still think his flatground looks bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does anyone make boards where the trucks are drilled offset in the other direction? Like maybe put back truck little more towards your toes and front truck towards your heels. Maybe it would make tre flips a bit easier? Probably would suck for everything else though. Would be a good gimmick for some company to sell "Tre flip hack" boards to kids that can't Tre flip yet. Maybe make it asymmetrical too in a way that spins 360 flip easier. Actually can't believe this hasn't been done yet. Would revolutionize board sales if you could sell kids like 10 completes for different tricks

Not sure why they kept cutting to the kid without a mic but he did an acceptable job as a ref under pressure.

To be fair that kid is fucked up good to the point he probably does nothing but skate (he's got back smith kickflip out locked... little shit even does it on kink rails) and watch skate videos and I don't think he was any worse than many of the adults have been. Some people just take it a lot more seriously than others. I kinda wish theyd bring in total wildcards...imagine Neil Blender reffing a batb game. I'd actually pay to see that shit.

You know who would be good? Jamie Thomas. That dude isn’t afraid to tell people to do their trick again.
I remember the first time I saw Cole was his Digital part with Twisted Sister on the soundtrack. He seemed like a fun skater with a diverse bag of tricks. It's crazy to see him 20+ years later, with an enormous history of NBDs, and still doing the most advanced shit first try.
He HAS to win!
I would love to see Cole in the finals or even take the whole thing. I was a big fan of him since his In Bloom part. Told my friend around that time Cole's gonna be one the best someday.

Part of the berrics rule “ no doing slides if your opponent pops the trick”
In case you are not aware of it, Luan popped his switch tre on offense. Jamie didn’t pop his for his defense and the judge didn’t say anything
Decent game. In the end, Nike won against Cariuma, and yet it didn't feel that way somehow... what has our world come to?I thought it was the other way around.

Griffin ruined the batb for me. He is similar to Jake Paul and professional boxing, out of his league and delusional due to social media. The pros vs joes was great, one time. None of them should have been invited back without being a real pro, which none of them ever really did. Now these games are just boring.

Nice to see Jamie picking up the rules and giving it back to Hong Kong. I'm not a fan of clown shit but Jamie kept it to a minimum. At the end of the day I'm glad another Cariuma skater is out. 8) I pray Jamie or Cole takes it this year. God forbid Tyler Cheaterson :'(

- pressure flip (second trick)
- 540 shuv

- Back biggerspin (540 Shuv bs180)

I noticed that too, his back foot is almost at the center of his tail when he pops them. It rotates super uhhhh vertically if I’m seeing it right.
It's hilarious reading people giving Jamie shit for doing tricks the other guys can't do. It's a game of skate - that's the whole point. It's like when people get pissed off in baseball for the "unspoken rules"... it's so pathetic. It's not even like he was out there freestyle type tricks. It was just more complicated (HARDER TO DO) flip tricks.
Luan had a chance to win this a couple times and failed at his own tricks. That's his own fault, and this is coming from someone who actually wanted Luan to win.
Also -the last trick was a bit gimmicky, but honestly, I've seen a lot of the "proper" pros do some gimmicky shit for their final trick and no one bats an eye.

Why am I the only one who mentioned he should've re-do that fs bigspin and his whack sw tre revert? Berriuma riders definitely get a better treatment. I'm just glad Jamie won.

Say what you will about Jamie, seeing him knock Tyler out so comprehensively after all that showboating was a delight to behold.. i liked that he went back through all the basic tricks that Tyler skipped as well before sending him packing.
Watching the whole Cariuma seeding plan crumble for a second year in a row is just a joy.

Good afternoon Mr. Duckey, I'm not a fan of Cody BigMac, but I can absolutely acknowledge he is really fucking good at skateboarding. When he nollie big-heeled Carlsbad gap he earned his staying power. He's not a legend in my book, but he probably is in a couple Texan's books. I guess what I'm trying to say is him starting a board company and turning people pro is warranted.
Now if Nick Holt started his own company, to turn himself pro (like Ninejah did with I&I lest we forget), then that would be straight unacceptable.

Ok, not to come in and defend Nyjah (even though that’s what I’m doing) let’s not act like he wasn’t at a pro level already when I&I started. I also believe that was his dads move and not entirely his own. Look at us, lurking Slap on a Monday evening coming to defend Cody Mac and Nyjah.
This thread got me thinking.It’s just rhyming with Mean…. And with Berra a film guy, it may very well be a quote from “Stripes”: “lean, mean, fighting machine” (or some other movie that originated that phrase)
Quick question: in the end of the reading of the BATB rules, they always say, “Let’s keep it lean…” what do we suppose that is intended to mean, precisely?
It feels like a low hanging fruit for another TF or group to take this over and re-legitimize it with skaters who aren’t building bombs/ learning quadruple heel flips in a shed in the woods.

Expand QuoteIt feels like a low hanging fruit for another TF or group to take this over and re-legitimize it with skaters who aren’t building bombs/ learning quadruple heel flips in a shed in the woods.[close]
Randomly calling the Irish guy a bomber?
He seems pretty chill to me
Expand QuoteThese days it's too easy for anyone to make a deck and slap a name on it. These are the new ams. A professional is somebody paid by a company with at least a 20 year history OR started more recently by a legend that has the right to bestow such a status like P-Rod or Shane O'Neill.Expand QuoteNick is pro for Cody Mac’s company Snake Farm

Good afternoon Mr. Duckey, I'm not a fan of Cody BigMac, but I can absolutely acknowledge he is really fucking good at skateboarding. When he nollie big-heeled Carlsbad gap he earned his staying power. He's not a legend in my book, but he probably is in a couple Texan's books. I guess what I'm trying to say is him starting a board company and turning people pro is warranted.
Now if Nick Holt started his own company, to turn himself pro (like Ninejah did with I&I lest we forget), then that would be straight unacceptable.

I think the reference was meant to be less "Ted/racism" and more "Newton/Year of Wonders"
Also, How long until Slides 'n' Grinds suffers the same fate?
Other than primos, caspers and darkslides where is the potential for circus ledge tricks and who's doing them?

Berra really sucks
I started a poll whether Nick Holt should've gotten a re-do or not. The awkward losers just stormed the floor when Borra tried to pause. https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=128460.0

The highlight for me was this petty little clap from the girl in the beanie after Tyler’s fourth or fifth double flip

There was a $100 entry fee just to watch 30 minutes of flatground skating from a couple of dorks. This is about peak enthusiasm considering that.

I wondered if there’s anything else besides a couple games of skate. A best trick contest would be nice. Video premiere? Stand-up act or drama show? Live music?
Nah don’t think so.
fuck a redo, dude planted his whole foot down. why is this even a question. jamie won get over it american fucks.Yup. Berra was being a horrible ref all day so it was time for the people to step in. Berra is like a soccer ref. He wants to be the main event of the game even though nobody came to see him

Did anyone else notice the contradiction in Tyler's pre game interview and his match? He was talking about not practicing and just wanting to have a "classic BATB game of skate", then proceeded to jump straight into all the double flip known to man kind. Then with poetic justice, he misses his last trick and Jamie runs him through all the basics before taking him out

I just watched the Peterson Griffin match and I just wanted to come here to say that pressure heelflip body varial is the absolute worst flatground trick I have ever seen in my life. Below the dungeon tier. Glad dude lost
I stopped watching once Griffin beat Peterson. I just can’t stand watching him and it was a forgone conclusion that he’d win.
Holt skunking Cole was unexpected. Maybe it’s time for Cole to bow out of these.
at this point, some of these tricks make me i feel like i'm watching a yo-yo contest.
not saying the shit ain't impressive, or next level, but yea...
Man between $100 entry fees, selling parts of the ground, and sponsorship/advertising, they made bank of this. I predict they won’t get a new location, keep the website up and maybe host the next batb from an undisclosed location, if they even continue it. I think Berra can’t keep it up for much longer and knows everyone is seeing through him and his plan of favoring Cariuma riders. It would benefit everyone if he took the money and ran, which I could totally see him doing. They don’t need a physical berrics location to keep it going, but honestly I hope they just dead the whole thing.They used to invite between 800-1100 people in an email blast FOR FREE, with 3 food trucks (In-n-Out, Wahoos, Pizzanista, etc), a fancy dessert buffet upstairs in the lounge, a DJ, Jim Thiebaud and Deluxe would roll through and give out free product (custom shirts for their Spitfire, Thunder, etc riders in the Finals), photo booth, free product kiosks for other brands, special guests on the mic (not just people who bought a bunch of BATB decks to get a golden ticket), just an endless parade of fun. Now it doesn't seem like anyone aside from "Gel Blaster" and Cariuma are willing to support this crap.

And they're promising a golden ticket to BATB 14 on the ABD collectibles site. Ridiculous… just end it already.

if they don't get a new location/ park, how will they continue being a business? their whole thing is based around being a skatepark. if they don't build a new park I don't see how they don't completely go out of business.
I’m just glad the nine club finally admitted this is rigged!
Damn, have you noticed Jamie's absence for almost a month ? Almost no stories and no more Instagram posts..
He had also recently left hop king, maybe he no longer wants to put himself on the front of the stage and skate for him ?
Since the BATB final, nothing.. :(
That sounds like a good move. It takes a lot of self-awareness to pull back like that.Expand QuoteDamn, have you noticed Jamie's absence for almost a month ? Almost no stories and no more Instagram posts..

Moved back to his parents place in Ireland to sort his head out a bit I think. Fair play to him....from what I heard via friends of friends, he was getting sucked into a bit of a party lifestyle in London and struggling with mental health etc.
If you see this dude, keep your chin up.
We need to get a core pal in next year. Some terminally online g.
Subvert fer real. Ask Berra the only question that matters right in the middle of finals.
What would you rather Bora? Now do a fuckin backside flip for the pals.
