Í miss watching new episodes of BATB every weekend

[biaherl]

Saw this today haha

Is there any way the slap pals can get together, pool our pennies, buy this property and turn it into a TF in the middle of nowhere for no reason?

I'm good at building things

Here's some dumb data for you



Felt so stupid after watching this I had to take a nap. I like it

Watching matches of today's biggest pros when they were still coming up has been fun.



Diego Najera does an amazing FS 360 at 2:25

i think there’s a lot of new guys on cariuma and bryte that have yet to show us their special brand of occasional kickflip makes. the future is bryte for BATB

[Paul Cicero]

I think the match i’ve revisited the most is Luan v Torey when Luan was a hungry AM. Luans flat game is legendary.

Someone recently posted the BATB1 redemption bracket matches. Probably the most entertaining stuff to come out of all of the BATB’s.
The Carroll matches with Tim Tim and Jeron are two of my all time favorite games.
EDIT: oops, forgot to post the YouTube link to it:

This was a nice find. This era (or Bera, if you will) was the last time it felt authentic. Before the hype and the self importance, just your favorite pros skating a park and being surprising inconsistent with their flat. You can tell how old this is by Whitcomb’s massive tall tee.

Dumb Data sucks

BATB is so lame and I will watch every second of the next season

imo they killed it for me once they opened it up to non-pros. on top of that, the pro's seemed to get kinda weaker as time went on. It seemed like there was a point where it was getting pretty legit because people were taking it pretty seriously and you had P Rod, Chris Joslin, Morgan Smith, PJ Ladd, Chris Cole, Billy Marks, Mike Mo, so many guys really going for it. When they started bringing in random "freestyle" type guys who just specialize in weird flatground tricks it kinda takes the charm out of it. The thing that really makes it is selecting cool pros who have good trick selection.

I think when you have guys who just grind SKATE and dont have good street footage has potential to go in a kooky direction because people just train switch triple heelflips and dumb shit like that (as we saw in batb...)

would be cool if some company like DLX or Primitive or something would do like exhibition or show matches or whatever you wanna call it where they just hand pick cool pros to do 1 match for $500 or something. then you dont have so much of a time commitment from the people involved.

 I also think it would be cool to do a smaller tournament like 16 guys and just have all the pros wrap it up in 1 day and stream it. that really would not be difficult...

I agree. I don’t want to watch some influencer goofball win with some circus trick. Should only be pros.

Billy Marks. I like him.

Oh yes. Carroll v Tim Tim was great. In fact just seeing Carroll skating flat is more than enough
