can you just vote for pine 32 times?
If anyone cares. Let's hope the next 16 has all the goofy skaters like Todd Falcon. If not, this shaping up to be pretty much the same thing. I think the only person that hasn't been in this is Chris Joslin.

There's one match and ONLY one match that I want to see from this: Luan vs. Zigram
^^^Same goes for Chris Chann. He was a newbie last year but he beat Chris Cole. Chann's flatground is woah.
Hsu won his first round game playing against Kenny Anderson. Didn't miss a single trick and even blacked him out. I think he left the game because he got injured or something, so they replaced him with someone else.
Hsu has a gnarly flatground game.

Mike V and Todd Falcon match.
I miss the first editions of BATB, where they just included whoever was at the park that day. I remember being impressed by a lot of people's flat game.
Side note: it's funny that people last year wanted a Joe to upset the whole thing, but when Nick Holtz started doing just that, they wanted him out.
I'm surprised that they have all those battle of aberrica finalists but not the actual winner, Juan Escota. Though I guess this was a voted on list and who the fuck wants to see that guy pressure flip his way to the top?

Pressure flips are to skateboarding what granny pool exercises are to fitness.
ribeiro might be the best switch stance skater of all time
The voting was obviously total bullshit. No way people didn't overwhelmingly vote for tony hawk, bob burnquist, bam margera, mike v, etc.WUUUUT that would be nuts!
they should have a tony hawk pro skater batb. only skaters who have been in a tony hawk game from pro skater 1 to american wasteland. I think that would be sick.
this weekend: cole versus moose, ribeiro versus smithI always here this statement but rarely attributed to Shane O'neill which is messed up. Go look at his last 2 enders in his video parts, I doubt there are more then a couple pros who could do that stuff in there regular stance.
small edge to moose who outperformed cole in batb six and batb seven
ribeiro might be the best switch stance skater of all time but smith always makes it to at least round three
Luan did one switch against Pudwill.Yeah, I remember that one. I meant a regular one.
I'm boycotting every non-PJ game, since they left out literally every interesting skater and instead went with the same 20 pros always in it and some teenage berrics groupie queers.
do you think steve berra told the ref to give chris cole a larger margin for error?they're homeys - they shared a part in cold war

Wow! You can tell just off of the way moose skates and his consistency hes a total skate rat. Still hate whoever it was that decided to kick moose off of deathwish, whether it was Erik or Greco this is one i don't agree on. It sucks seeing a guy that dedicated not get enough support.

That's pretty unfair..they should avoid having refs with a conflict of interest like that, unless it's somewhat balanced.
Reminds me of Ernie Torres reffing Prod and Davis Torgerson's match. As summed up by Koston, "He's Mexican- same team."
I'm boycotting every non-PJ game, since they left out literally every interesting skater and instead went with the same 20 pros always in it and some teenage berrics groupie queers.Pretty sad that you think a guy who hasn't put out a proper part in the past decade is the most interesting especially when he is part of "the same 20 pros always in it".....
That was a good first match.
The switch big flip and nollie double flip should've been do overs. He pretty much missed the whole rotation for the switch big flip and his hands dragged like crazy for the noliie double flip.
I've never seen a big heel revert on flat before. Such a crazy trick just to have down well enough just to pull out.
second match was much better than expected
PJ FTWThose Control boards!, Interesting how he skates those vs PS

Anyone else dislike the fact that they cut out the missed kickflip and nollie heel? It didn't make a difference in the game but I want to see every trick that was attempted. Especially those times where the loser tries the last trick on their third try (e.g. Chris Cole last week). That stuff is gold.

the sad thing is that I really don't care for the Joe's , I don't want to see them cause I'm not interested in some random guys flatground game I just don't care about someone who skates somewhere and is good at flatground, and it's funny that these days i need a branded name to get my attention, it's like when i go on hellaclips I never click on anything without a familiar name. it's like getting introduced to someone new at a party, you just shake hands and forget the guy's name the instant you hear it, because you don't care and probably will never see that person again. same thing applies to skating I forget all their footage on instant, therefore I don't watch it.
i enjoyed when the rules were being read and they said "no sliding tricks if your opponent popped it" he just looked at luan and they both laughedHe coulda beat Luan if he started sliding tricks on his turn.
Whatever. I love BATB and I've been skating for a while. I have no problem seeing the same names in these games because at least you know the games won't be too lopsided. It will be interesting to see new batches of pros every year but I think it turns out this way because there are only so many pros who are good at SKATE. I'm not talking good at flatground, because a lot of people have flat skills. I'm just saying that being a good flatground skater doesn't always translate into being good at SKATE.

You assume that Daewon or Gonz wanted to be in the BATB. Even if they were voted in, that doesn't mean they had to or even wanted to participate. I have no reason to assume the voting wasn't legit. It makes more sense that they had to balance votes with people's schedules, injuries, or just plain desire to do it. Mike Mo isn't in it and I would put money on that he got votes (he was on the list) especially since similar winners got in like Cole, PJ and Rodriguez. But Mike Mo is still injured so I'm certain that bumped someone else up.

It goes to show that they just put names on to generate traffic. If you put people on a list where people believe they're voting for them to skate in a contest, and they haven't even confirmed that the person is willing to participate, that makes the poll not legit.
Whats funny to me is every game goes from good looking popped and usually fast skating.... to out of nowhere... slow and non popped skidded and slid tricks..lol. I lose interest right at that point.That's probably right when their adrenalin runs out and they get wobble legs.
Varial flips are cool.
Shoot the Kevin guy out skateboard. Who lose a game on Varial flips?Back in 09 one of the local shops here held a game of skate contest for some free product. I decided to enter. The dude I played had me at T and pulled out a varial flip as his last trick. I could hear the crowd collectively go "awwww" in a disappointed manner when he landed it. I can do them, but not that consistent. I ended up losing.

It makes more sense that they had to balance votes with people's schedules, injuries, or just plain desire to do it. Mike Mo isn't in it and I would put money on that he got votes (he was on the list) especially since similar winners got in like Cole, PJ and Rodriguez. But Mike Mo is still injured so I'm certain that bumped someone else up.[close]
It goes to show that they just put names on to generate traffic. If you put people on a list where people believe they're voting for them to skate in a contest, and they haven't even confirmed that the person is willing to participate, that makes the poll not legit.[close]
And I'm quite okay with that if that was their goal. The Berrics is the last place I look for a pure example of democracy. As long as they put out good videos, whatever their method, I'm happy. Would you want to be the person to call around and see who is available and who is not considering the number of pros out there? It's probably more feasible to just throw the names out there and see what sticks.
Also don't people get nominated to do things all the time but decline. Kind of like write in votes on a ballot, it doesn't make the election less legitimate.

Part of what makes it funny/annoying is Berra bitched about Nyjah not winning SOTY after he received the most votes on Thrasher's website and how it's bullshit to put up the poll and not listen to the kids that voted for him.� That's why he started his whole "people's choice" thing on The Berrics (which, ironically, Nyjah didn't win either).� So to complain about Thrasher not listening to people's votes only to then not listen to people's vote regarding BATB is a little if not hypocritical, then definitely stupid, don't you think?� It wouldn't matter if these people who received the most votes weren't in BATB if Berra hadn't taken Thrasher to task for doing something that he himself does.
Whats funny to me is every game goes from good looking popped and usually fast skating.... to out of nowhere... slow and non popped skidded and slid tricks..lol. I lose interest right at that point.

This ain't Lollapalooza. I would think that getting skaters together for something like this would be like, to use a tired cliche, herding cats. You obviously see a problem with what they did although no one really knows what they did (unless there is a Berrics employee to settle this). These are the people who are in it and I don't think it should really matter what method the Berrics used to make it happen.

The point is that people don't like how they just invite the same people year after year and then pretend as if this is what "we" have spoken for by fake nominating people who don't want to be in it/can't be in it/aren't even allowed at The Berrics.

That was a nerve racking game. I was nervous, and Miles and Koston both skated like the were nervous. It was weird to see that many missed tricks in game. Also looked like Miles almost rolled his ankle on that first attempt on the heelflip. Imagine if someone hurt themselves at BATB?

Late response from me. Didn't noticed you posted this. I disagree that they put all the tries in there. Look at the Pudwill v Sewa game. At the end of the game interview, they show a miss from Sewa and Pudwill that were not in the game. I guess because the two misses put them back where they started so why show them. Of course that's just one example and I always wondered why in the older games when participants would say their game was long yet they were all edited to relatively the same length.
I don't doubt any pros ability to be consistent, but after 7 of these events, I'm certain there is more editing than it appears. It's like you guys spending 2 to 3 hours to produce 10 second trick.

silly response, sure. humor was intended. but i did focus on a key word that you, for some reason, neglected. this word plays a crucial role in josh's statement. to help you out: you could substitute his "typically" for "usually" or "normally" or "commonly" or "ordinarily"...it means not always, but happens to be the case in most situations. you get my drift. it obviously clarifies the context of his comment.
beyond all that, kalis would know, and you wouldn't. pay attention to all the words and learn the meaning of each of them before making a foolish suggestion that insinuates that one of the most respected pros with a high level of integrity doesn't know what he's talking about, but that you somehow know better than he does.
the problem has now been solved.

no, lizzie, your understanding is not clear. hence, my original 'reading comprehension' jab. you viewed things in strict black and white terms while josh spoke in the more realistic gray tones. further, you puffed up your narrow view with the audacity to say you knew better than a 30+ year skate legend that is still in the game. unfortunately, you seem like the kind of simple-minded egotist that is going to argue on and on and on because denial is a hell of a drug.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteNah...

My understanding of his statement is clear. I just disagree and obviously that bothers you because it seems you feel his words are infallible. I don't doubt his integrity but I don't think that it equates to iron clad truth, especially since there seems to be evidence that shows otherwise. Okay, I won't disagree with Kalis anymore if that makes you feel better
I'll try to put this thread on its original path. I don't want actual skateboarders to feel that this thread got hijacked by the Kalis welcoming committee.
I love the games so far. Too bad my two favorites, Silvas and Ribeiro, got taken out but they looked good doing it. Miles Silvas had my favorite kickflip in the games so far and Ribeiro may have had the best trick of the games with his switch backside 360. But they are gone now so I have to find a new guy to root for. There is always Shane Oneill.

In a nationality-based sense, I'd say Canadians are the antithesis of Australians; the latter group seemly producing the most watchable, raucous, getting-buck skaters per capita.[close]

That was the most aesthetically pleasing game of skate yet, mainly because of 'drew, I just love watching him skate. Best part of the game was 'drews SW back heel that he did with his whole body facing fakie. I don't know why but I thought that looked so cool.

That switch back heel was beautiful.
These are the kinds of games I wanna see. I don't care about how many times some bozo can make his board spin. I just want to see skateboarders I like playing one another in games of SKATE, similar to how the first couple tournaments felt.
Guys, you can skip that one.
Looked about as fast as any other game of skate. I think people like Luan or Busenitz are outliers more than the norm. The new guy definitely knew he choked. All that aside, Tom Asta is no slouch. If you are on defense, you would have to be able to go through a shit load of tricks before you get to the crazy stuff that he might not be able to land.That's mostly true, but that random guy was skating notably slower than any average game I've seen or have been a part of.
crazy that louie almost did a switch 360 double flip, that dude is so good.
double skunk weekend and some random with a super harsh style. the berrics is killing it.missing fakie flips and shit yo
Is Luan in it this year? I'm sick of seeing these no pop slow fuckers.
Another thing, I HATE these new pregame/ postgame interviews. I miss the old ones with REDA, or even the ones when they would approach them while they're practicing their flatground before the game. It's annoying when good things change when they don't need to be.

Expand QuoteWhy did Bastien talk about doing fucking basic tricks to get Chris Chan out and then bail a nollie flip? What the fuck is going on, Pro's like Bastien should be able to do a hundred in a row.[close]
It's obvious from Bastien's video parts that he prefers nollie/switch heels to nollie/switch flips so it wasn't surprising to me.
It may or may not have been appropriate to call a redo on the nollie 3 shuv, but I can't help but wonder whether the McClung ref turned a blind eye because of Adidas.
From a purely strategic standpoint Chris did well in picking his tricks (minus the switch varial heel). Still I'd rather watch Bastien skate, or at least a longer game. Bummed he didn't cab flip off or over something crazy.
They should make them drop in on an 8 ft quarterpipe or something before doing the trick, without powerslides or slow-down pushes. I doubt you'd get technical tricks from anyone but Luan but it would certainly be entertaining. Too bad switch drop-ins are hard enough for most people.

My BATB8 Experience (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7CXNAaRnzI#)
I'm not hating on Chris Chann, he's good, his part that dropped earlier this year is good too. Don't care if he's a youtuber tho.
Also I can't really blame him to come prepared / trained when you see how he got raped by Luan last time. It would be regular to continue to blame the unprepared amateurs (that we like to trashtalk) once they're ready and actually winning against pros.
I just feel bad to see one of my all time favorite skater getting destroyed like that (and imagine how Chris Chann's audience can see him as a not-that-talented skater since many may not know Bastien that much).

Most Brazilian skaters are assholes, Luan included. The fact he uses skating for only his own benefit is really lame. These skaters today will never reach Tony Hawk celebrity because all they care about is themselves.. You wont see Luan starting a foundation for charity or building skateparks for anyone but himself.
Fabrizio and Letiticia are cool as fuck so that's their saving grace.
Morgan seemed to be having an off day. And Luan seemingly never has off days. Can't wait to see him battle Cody Cepeda.
Fuck Morgan Smith is sooo good and casual. I could see a bit of an attitude in Luan's skating, like he thought he was going to blow him away. Morgan's a technician and picked Luan apart, so Luan panicked and had to scramble and pull lame shit out like fakie double flip and switch tre revert. Best game yet.
This posts in this thread are terrible.I'm blown away by people saying Morgan skated sloppy.

Fakie fs flip and fs halfcab flip are both acceptable shorthand for fakie frontside 180 kickflip. I don't know what's up with that fakie halfcab flip garbage. It's redundant and doesn't denote side which is important if you spin frontside when talking about a caballerial variation as most people automatically associate cabs with backside.

Berger skates a super short board, it's the first thing I notice watching himhe skates the traditional nose of the board as his tail aswell.
Put him against one of the smoothest skaters like "steeze ortiz" and yea he doesn't look his best
And for the record, backside Caballerial is redundant. Unless you say frontside, backside is implied.
Also, what the fuck is up with people like Grosso calling backside Smith grinds "Monty grinds?" We know Monty Nolder was the first to do the backside variation of a trick invented by Mike Smith. Why does it get a different name just because it's backside?
Hey, Grosso! It's a b/s Smith. Unless of course the frontside feeble gets renamed for whoever was the first person to do one.

This whole game had a weird vibe. Reminds me of the other game where the crowd was almost completely silent. Strange year, like everyone's getting tired of the series.
What the fuck are you talking about? Literally nothing you said makes sense. I hope you're joking. Doing a cab is automatically fakie, but starting fakie does not make it automatically cab. If you start fakie and spin a frontside 180 it is literally a fakie frontside 180. Caballerial is just the name applied to going fakie and spinning backside 360 degrees because Cab did it so well and/or was the first doing it (not sure which or if both). Caballerial describes nothing. It's just a name applied to a trick. A nollie backside 180 is a nollie backside 180 because you do a nollie and spin backside 180 degrees.

It's definitely not a fakie frontside anything. By that logic, a nollie backside 180 would be called a switch fakie frontside 180.

"an ollie that starts from a fakie is called a Caballerial"
That's so wrong it hurts. Do you call fakie ollies a "no-cab", or a "0 cab"?
If you were just trying to get me to make a response then you got me. Congrats.
i know it's inevitable that on a skateboard forum the half cab argument will come up from time to time. it's almost at a page in length, can we just let it go and pick it back up sometime in early july or so?Dude, it is par for the course for someone to make a comment on how lame it is to argue about naming conventions, but jesus christ, there's a dude in here claiming fakie fs doesn't exist.
rest up and re-hydrate and all that, get your paragraphs in order and have a proper disagreement in which neither side will admit defeat

If you spent as much time skating as you do arguing tricks you would have all these tricks

Berger looks like a giant or his board is tiny. Looks like he will get crushed by Sewa though.
This is insane. I'm sorry, guys, this is my last post on the subject. Other people are conflating the argument by acting like they're not choosing sides as if both parties have an equal claim to reality when they really don't. It's like how the media treats evolution versus creationism. SouthSecondSquat is denying that you can call a fakie ollie with a frontside 180 a fakie frontside 180. I didn't say you couldn't call it a fs half cab, I even went so far as to explain the reasoning behind calling it that. You can name any trick anything, but it doesn't change what the trick and it's constituent parts are, in this case being a fakie stance fs spin x amount of degrees. This has nothing to do with generations and nobody in here is to old to understand that.

PJ was off his game, instead of doing cool guy tricks he should have inward heeled Toms titties off
Now my bracket is dead, my dreams of an all access pass crushed
I hate to say this, because part of me hates the owners of the berrics, and part of me loves the content.case fucking closed. Though I prefer Luan to busenitz just because of his signature tricks like tres sw heels nollie flips and I'd argue he has one of the most flawless fs flips ever in skating and not just on flat. Yes I love Reynolds and he's been a favorite for 15 plus years. Luan vs booze should just be a separate barb entirely where they vs each other every weekend for a few weekends but let's pray to god Shane or Luan can take out cepeda and pray even harder Luan beats em and they play eachother bc it will be like the Morgan game and not a chance in hell it will be dull. What's funny is how fucking stylish these dudes are compared to cepeda who has his tricks on lock they just look the same year after year tho
But if shabe or luan actually wanted to win, it would be no contest, until they faced each other of course.
Both have clearly demonstrated that they can do anything on flat with ease.
These two, if they miss a trick, there is a an explanation. Its not that they cant do it, its that they dont care too much and it looks like they dont warm up.
These two guys practise and warm up, good fuckin luck.
That said the best skater ever in Batb is boozentitz. The last guy youde expect to pull fucking regular tricks. Booze wins overall

Asta really does have the best bs 360 ollie, no one else does them like he does. It's like it's not scooped at all, seems like he ollies straight or at a slight angle then starts turning it. Whatever his technique is, it makes for a beautiful trick.

Fuck Sewa. Always the same shit that no one bothers to learn.
It sounds like people are really reaching to dislike Cepeda. Saying you're not a fan of his style is one thing, but to hate him because he doesn't play SKATE the way you would seems a little silly. If someone fires off several double flips in a row, that's not some sportsmanship issue; it may just be easier to do that. We've seen Ladd do heelflip or 360 flip variations in a row. In SKATE, once you are in the zone for a certain class of tricks, sometimes it's easier to just do them in a row rather than derailing your train of thought.

what makes codys double flips gay and not luans are luan actually throws in other tricks between them instead of just raffling them off one by one. nobody wants to see that shit... and there's also the obvious style factor

I don't know if you can claim much etiquette when money is on the line. It's not like Cody cheated. He is a young guy trying to come up who wants to win and he will pull whatever he needs to out of his bag to make that happen. You would too if you were playing Luan. The straight 8's can only go so far when you are playing someone like Ladd or Luan. And just a reminder, Morgan Smith was not some unknown/unsponsored skater when he entered his first BATB so there is no comparison to Cepeda in that sense. Again, whether you like Cepeda's style or not is too subjective to debate.
I think you missed my point. Just because you don't like that Cepeda does double flips does not mean he is being mean or disrespectful. Whether you like Cepeda's tricks/style is one thing, but because he may do them in a row is not unlike many skaters. I just used Ladd as an one example of a technique that I've seen quite often in these games which is to do a certain class of tricks in a row. � And yes, I think it is people reaching to dislike Cepeda, especially when other well respected pros/ams have gotten really technical early in a game. Kennedy came at Ramondetta pretty aggressively in BATB3. And what about that third place battle between Mike Mo and O'neill in BATB6?

I think you missed my point. Just because you don't like that Cepeda does double flips does not mean he is being mean or disrespectful. Whether you like Cepeda's tricks/style is one thing, but because he may do them in a row is not unlike many skaters. I just used Ladd as an one example of a technique that I've seen quite often in these games which is to do a certain class of tricks in a row. � And yes, I think it is people reaching to dislike Cepeda, especially when other well respected pros/ams have gotten really technical early in a game. Kennedy came at Ramondetta pretty aggressively in BATB3. And what about that third place battle between Mike Mo and O'neill in BATB6?[close]
didn't say it was mean or disrespectful at all. was more referring to it being a poor choice of style, and a boring counter towards all of luans other tricks. ramondetta killed it and cory always did silly amazing tricks out of no where in these ( an insanely wide range with great style, and not just the same ones done poorly). im just being subjective towards his style, like mostly everyone else here.
im pretty sure that third place battle was played differently than all their other games because they didn't give a shit, because it was for third place. � torgerson and mike mo do the same thing in their third place battle and it made for an interesting game. nobody wants to see somebody get beat by the same 5 tricks over and over is the point. which is why sewas battles are pretty weak, especially his last one against berger

it's not a reach, its an opinion of taste and etiquette. you cant help but appreciate his consistency. but also cant help but hate his style of skating because it's strange to be that consistent with your tricks looking that bad. morgan came into the berrics and smoked everyone without anybody knowing him and he didn't receive the hate that cody does. there's a reason for that. comparing ladd and cepeda is ass backwards in a game of skate debate considering cody is the antithesis to ladd in terms of the cessation of tricks. ladd never does a bunch of goofy tricks in a row and always complains about people doing that in his interviews. which makes him look like a sour puss so I see your point but comparing the two makes no sense at all[close]
I don't know if you can claim much etiquette when money is on the line. It's not like Cody cheated. He is a young guy trying to come up who wants to win and he will pull whatever he needs to out of his bag to make that happen. You would too if you were playing Luan. The straight 8's can only go so far when you are playing someone like Ladd or Luan.

I relearned it last week. Its a very nice trick.
yeah variel flips were among my first tricks and once learning tre flips they kind of faded into obscurity. never got reg tre flips that well, I still land them with my fet close together and honestly can pop them switch better. I can fakie tre pretty well though and have taken that down some gaps and minor stairs. that being said I love sniff buttholes post and prob one of my favorite posters on here, thank you

Expand QuoteOnce I learned 360 flips I started to forget about varial flips honestly.[close]
Sorta the same (this was WAY back in, like, 94-95) but if I'm being honest it's also because varial flips are significantly harder to do. 360 flips just kinda fall into place naturally whereas varial flips require a lot more control.
At least you can depend on Haroshi making one hell of a trophy.

Variel flips are easier than kickflips and 360 flips thats why they are looked down upon. You can use the back to to make up the deficit of a proper front flip, but without the full force or scoop that makes a 360 a challenge to learn (at the outset).Â
That's why they are clowned and universally for baby-legged dipshits. Also, QED, a switch one is why based-flatground God Luan lost the gain.Â
also the fakie variel heel was a poor choice. I feel like he would've had a better chance doing a hardflip revert he does them way to easily. but luan doesn't go straight for the throat even when hes down to T. he always keps throwing in basics around hammers which makes hima good watch. but ultimately screws his games

Anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the brackets and who is available to skate on what days.

cepeda is a kook. calling out luan on strange etiquette by starting off w a tre flip. this is coming from the same guy who won the roshambo against oneill and the first trick he tried in the game was a sw fs biggerspin. god that dude is the worst
So I just rewatched the Cepeda vs Luan shit show, and there is no fucking way, the double half cab flip he does on defense flips twice. Not only that but watch the "double backside flip" he does.. What a crock of shit, just give him a pass because he is a double flipping fuckboi..

the sw fs 360 heel and biggerflip were by far some of the worst calls ive seen in these. no sliding if your opponent popped it my ass. no way in hell could cepeda ever pop a sw fs 360 heel all the way around like lu did

It's already live an hour before it is supposed to start while they are warming up, Berra just tested the whistle three times for no reason, and I want to imagine the skaters are forced to try tricks in front of the camera in this awkward setup.

what type of drug does berra use ? just to be sure not to take the same
The whole Carlos ref and Berra's jabs were so embarrassing. In the background when Carlos allowed Shane's trick you can see Berra just staring at him so fucking intense. Then all the comments Berra made once he was announced as the ref that he doesn't let shit slide. It was so great to see him put in his place once Shane landed that sketchy f/s 360 kickflip and was pressured into letting it count.
I find it interesting that Shane O'Neil is literally the best skateboarder on the planet* but rarely wins contests. I wonder if people trip on that, like "yea I beat Shane O'Neil", but in their heart they're really like, "I'll never be better than Shane O'Neil."

Nothing funny about that dude at all.
It'd be interesting to tweak the rules for a more streamlined contest with a bit more balance. Maybe do it ping pong style. You get five attempts to score points and then the other skater gets five tries. If you fall trying to set a trick, it's the other skaters turn. That would at least curtail the stronghold these dudes have when they win the rochambeau. Who cares though, Berra sucks. He seemed drunk and attention-whore-ish.

Luan could've easily knocked Cody out, I don't know why he acted like he was outa tricks... This is just a fraction of the bag. He does nollie hard revert then does the fakie hard but reverts fs instead of back on top of some other bangers

I'm surprised you're the first person to bring this up, but I thought it was painfully obvious that Luan threw that game on purpose. Not really a bad thing you know, I guess you wanna give the newbies their time to shine[close]
he plays like a damn gentleman like pj, cole mo and most others besides sewa and cody. he actually throws out basic tricks while he thinks about when to strike with the bangers, which makes for a fun and entertaining game. but yeah I think hes proven he can do almost anything under the sun and is always coming out with new shit on topExpand QuoteLuan could've easily knocked Cody out, I don't know why he acted like he was outa tricks...

Imagine Mullen and Daewon in the finals??! That could be Round 4 with them.
Rodney Mullen - Opinion - Globe Shoes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw6yJjA5Teg#)nope. no handstand flips, no fingerflips, no hands on the board. they're probably not too much older than Koston though so why the hell not.
3:34- 3:40
I just wanna see Mullen do these two tricks in one of these....that'll get the crowd pumped again.

There are no fucking rules in skateboarding. Reverting tricks has gotta be the most pussy shit I've ever seen

it was something like Sewa set a sketchy fakie hardflip, Shane landed it, then Berra blows the whistle on Sewa's, then Shane says fuck that cuz he landed it anyway, then Berra's all like "oh i guess shane's right guys," then blows the whistle again to say that actually everything counted.
It was great, just great. Also ive noticed i get kooked to oblivion when i say anything about the berrics. Kook away ;)

yes that game is fucking epic. Moose pulled so many amazing tricks out of his ass. Frontside 360 heelflip and cab double flip WTF?
Also, I saw Reda in the crowd. He was all over The Berrics but now he seems to have vanished in thin air. Did he say some bad stuff about Ron L. Hubbard?
