Man.....I think considering, Jamie has this in the bag. If this was one of the earlier BATB, I would say it would do something for his career but he can be equally or more famous just putting out his own Youtube clips.
I'd agree with you if he can withstand finals night pressure and beat out the consistency of older pros. P-Rod, Sewa and Luan may not have the Forward Flip (and whatever trick combinations) but they could whittle him down with their standard bag of tricks in all 4 stances, especially if they get the opening trick set.
P-Rod is not to be underestimated, even on circus tricks…
His go-to circus trick would be his Nollie Late Flips, can't see him doing a Pressure Flip, Forward Flip or even an Impossible.
^ that's my thinking too, tbh I can see Cole beating P-Rod. If we're talking a straight run of the mill game of skate, no doubt P-Rod has the deeper bag of tricks, however Cole has pulled out some obscure/lesser seen ones this season like the back heel body varial, back 3 heel/back 3 kickflips fairly consistent, 360 underflips, etc - infact I'm pretty sure he got P-Rod on back heel body varial, 360 double flip and something else to take the win in BATB2? I think he'll beat him with those obscure tricks, and then Griffin will do the exact same thing to him with even wilder tricks.
My predictions made yesterday were Griffin to beat Dre, Cole to beat P-Rod and Griffin to beat Cole for the Finals spot. Luan vs Sewa is a hard one to judge as they're both absolute powerhouses, but no doubt in my mind either of those will beat Peterson for a Luan or Sewa vs Griffin final, and at that point who fucking knows what'll happen. Griffin wasn't looking too promising in that Giger game but his last 2 games he's shown a solid level of consistency with his flatground, and as long as he doesn't get stuck in that rut of trying the same trick for multiple sets I think he's got a good chance of taking it. Be interesting to see how it plays out either way.
