my take away:
-the final match was probably the best game of skate in history that I cared about 100% less since I saw the results posted on insta THREE DAYS AGO.
-berries is getting out of hand milking the hits, spreading 3-4 videos in a 48-72 hour roll-out window is insane
-Sewa really seems like he’s trying to be a standup guy but ultimately he has like 3 finishing moves that he busts out every year and you see them coming before he steps on the board. I don’t blame him cuz the cash purse is probably his meal ticket more than any of his sponsors but damn is it boring. I’d rather watch Daniel Haney cut off some denim jeans.
-Tom Asta really is a modern-day Penny but skateboarding probably won’t acknowledge it for another 10 years. Style is near flawless.
-every crowd reaction shot was the black kid with bleached hair mouthing “that’s what I’m talking about”
-Joslin’s style is getting better, dudes 100% skate rat and really surprised me at the end there.
-Luan killed it, skated twice the speed of everyone else. nollie inward heel on defense somehow looked like he wasn’t gonna land it and looked perfect at the same time. deserved the win, stoked for him
-Borra can’t even stand up on his own decisions
-this is probably the last BATB I’ll ever watch
