BATB12

[coldbrew]

what a waste, there are so many relatively unknown AMs who could get a huge boost off being included in this and instead we get influencers

That’s quite literally why they’re called influencers and why there’s been a “joes” category.

Lucas' frontside half cab and frontside 360 were both pretty incredible. I watched the 360 in slow motion and it looks like they don't turn the board frontside until the ollie is almost at full height and then spins so fast and their shoulders don't rotate back forward until he's rolling away. So sick.

Lucas probably has one of the best fs 360s ever in terms of what he can do with it (I say that as a Jeremy Wray acolyte). He did a fs 270 into fs noseslide down a big hubba somewhere recently. Could probably do proper regular fs 540s.

Spencer Barton's flat looked very solid against the grunge man. Looking forward to his second round game when it comes out in February next year.

And the bar has been lowered again.

How BATB end up at this state?

I love how this game came in the same week that Berra wrote that speech in GiftedHater's video about how "sKaTiNg uSeD t0 bE AbOuT TaLeNt!"

[IpathCats]

That tony dude was em-berra-ssing. It's amazing that even next to a dude in cariumas, purposely ripped t, and a korn jersey, he still looked like the kook.

[Spirit]

That one made me rewind

[Kombuch-A-Holic]

I really enjoyed the Gustavo Ribeiro VS. Lucas Rabelo game. Lucas is very stylish.  The Spencer Barton VS. Tony Mangucci , now I've never heard of these guys before so didn't know what to expect. I thought it was funny seeing how shitty Tony was for Spencer to be doing that many nollie tricks. Impressive but not necessary? lol I then looked up Tony thinking he's be this big youtube guy...not the case, he has 12 videos on YT. 8 are over a year old. Then I find out he's a fking tiktok skater? And here I am sneaking in some slap. Fking tiktok. I'm not mad just dumbfounded.

Berra just handing over material to Gifted Hater on a silver platter.

[SatanicPanic]

The only way that guy makes sense to me is he’s like doing a Skate Moss- “check it out guys I’m learning to skate”.

[SneakySecrets]

I wonder if he’s going to have his own special 4 hour long “web redemption” episode.

[CannerSpaghetti]

Spencer Barton actually rips tbf

[thebacker]

[friendly dave]

Who the fuck was the clown who started the game with an ollie, I cant even remember the last time I saw a game of skate that started with an ollie. 

[pizzafliptofakie]

PJ did it once but the joke works cuz he's good at skateboarding

made me laugh...was at the park this weekend and some kids(around 13 and obviously just starting to skate) playing skate and it was all ollies and bonelesses. They could have given gucci mane a run

What a good game.

Also great contrast of how far the barries has fallen.

[CannerSpaghetti]

I think that this may be the last BATB ever. It seems like no one who is involved is enjoying it and the public opinion seems low so they might just call it after this one.

[Burt Ward]

It's quite amazing that these just keep getting worse.

funny how now if you saw the video was 4.5 minutes long you'd know it would be one guy getting smoked

Bro fully came to post that, just went to watch the video and saw the time

Edit

Holy fuck that’s crazy for like a a second halfway through I thought ohh nah that leg must be a prosthetic but nah that is not the case

It was sick now the other guy went for kicky at the end that would have been amazing

[Bigwheelbite]

He certainly was. And didn't deserve to be there either. Just wack on every level and goes to show how lame the berrics/BATB is now.

Beyond cringe...

[somefucker]

just let it die.

like a phoenix, skating will rise from the ashes of cringe and be born anew, sans tik-tokers and instakooks.

[QixHexagon]

Damn, is it me or Spencer's voice is kind of hypnotizing? Dude probably has tons of testosterone and a massive schlong.

What if they went full on crybaby and just stopped before it was even close to done?
Like, “Well fine then! If no one likes it then it’s not gonna happen!”

I could totally imagine Steve saying that.

Would love to see them focus the competetion midway through in the same vein as the final OIAM when the kids weren't taking the pizza delivery or speed setup challenges seriously enough.

[drcroc]

To be fair... the dude who lost to Spencer Barton represents my level of skill on a skateboard so props to him for even going out there and trying.
