BATB12

[MysticalTypeExperience]

That Tyler kid was good. Landed everything clean and had a nice attitude, I respect him more now.

Also, I think the fs biggerspin was a bad call from Torey. Tyler got robbed a letter.

So who won?

The unpoliteness of not asking people first if they want to be part of a shitty contest - and still making the thing happen.

This. Absolutely robbed there, idk wtf that call was. And he was on defense, aren't you supposed to have more latitude for error there?

[youreamug]

hearing the crowd chant Jamie's name was the best bit. proper nice stuff. hope he gets a guru to help guide him to film a decent part

tyler seems like a nice kid, i say kid but doesnt he have a wife and child? hope berriuma is paying him well for clearly putting a ton of effort into this shit show, he didnt cut any corners on any trick (those 360s from jaime were VERY questionable). jaime seems like a good kid too, i barely watched any of the other matches but that final was pretty interesting. didnt think a lot of those circus tricks would get matched

thank fuck this shit is over i dont want to think about the berrics for a long time

[goodatmeth]

God damn he made Jamie use 30% of his power. Sick game for sure, glad it's all over.

Do you guys think they are going to try to make BATB13 happen? I can't even imagine it.

If it’s going to be anything like the last one, they should have started it already.

I know its just a dumb game of skate, but I love watching it!

But in my honest opinion...just like there's no Malto manual shit. I think they need to add 2 new rules.

1. Absolutely no double flips (they are extremely lame)

2. NO late shuv or late flip anything

Thus---the only circus trick that should be allowed is one regular footed pressure flip

double flips should be allowed.  What shouldn't be is half flips, Casper flips, front foot impossible variation etc.  But really...where do you draw the line??

Considering the luck they had with BATB12, they might just want to skip ahead to 14.

Usually just slightly above the back bolts, so you can easily tell your nose and tail apart.

Late flips, half flips, and double flips should all be banned. Just in my opinion. It would be interesting to see where people would take the tricks their allowed to do.

But I guess you would start seeing 720 shuv's and other helicopter tricks

Berra briefly mentioned it in one of his many speeches. Surely it couldn't be any worse than this?

[DarkPools]

what's that one rule? "no sliding your trick on the ground if your opponent pops their trick." or something like that? so much for that, ol jamie was SLACKING on those 360s. Lucky i wasnt the ref, I'd have regulated that ass.

This rule is about popping the trick. Sliding to complete a rotation is fair game. I think Torey asked him to redo FS360 because of a lack of pop.

[TreBombMartin]

360's are a waste of an attempt. The person on offense usually does them decent and the person on defense 360 pivots. I know it's a competition but have some pride and actually try to do an honest 360.

[Coldpizza]

Tyler is really good, but damn he just looks miserable all the time lol

You’d be bummed too, if Berra abducted your wife & baby child & shipped them off to SeaOrg, then told you that the only way you’ll ever see they again is if you bring home a BATB title for Cariuma, as Xenu demands.
Poor little Eminem looking guy; he really loved loved that family.

Best comment by far.

[larry sanders]

just watched one of the screencap bootlegs of the final - this thing is officially dead now right? whatever A list pros who were still participating have got to be staying clear of the next one

That's right, actually the game should just be backside flips over and over until one skater misses 5 of them or faints from exhaustion

also if we're being fair, jamie's fs big spin was fully done in the air. tyler's was a fs shuv to pivot - same deal as the 360s really.

[Billy Bitchcakes]

Technically his 360s didn't break any rules, I think Tpuds had just had enough of his shit and called the redo just to make him put some effort into one of them

Double flips are sick and very easy, basic even.

If we're getting rid of anything it's shuvits in every stance.
Nobody needs to see you set fs pop shuvs in every stance just to miss a double Kickflip.

[Trilogy]

I am not understanding anything from this BATB edition.

Have the finals already happened??

Who eliminated P-Rod and Luan???

This is the worst BATB ever, its a total disgrace.
