The fact that Mikey Taylor and MikeMo are involved ensures it will forever suck

Just left the event and it was interesting. Gary Roger’s kept apologizing for the event being so long. I did see some of the most amazing skateboarding in my life though. Zac, Art and Miles were amazing to watch skate stair irl.

Also met @Pine who double 360 flipped the set first try and triple flipped it. You fucking rule man

The clips look stupid . It’s just a game of skate on the same double set all these dudes have done every trick on multiple times for instagram? What’s the point?

Just watched some stories they posted on Instagram. Seemed pretty fun to witness. Did Foy fill in for Joslin? Any other insights or highlights you can mention without spoiling the winners would be cool to hear. I personally will be watching this. I always enjoy watching SLS and BATB, even though they’ve lost some of the glory over the years. It’s cool to see that high level of skating done consistently. Mike Mo said this would be a trial run to see how it goes. It’s not going to be the Primitive park stair set for every event.

I think it be cool if they added the same format but with a ledge, too. Similar to slides N grinds. Do both in the same contest. Start with ledge game, end with the game down the stairs. Most points between the two at the end, wins.

Yup Foy filled in for Joslin. Pretty cool to see the flip trick side of his skating. I think the most entertaining part of this contest is seeing the pros have to try tricks that are out of their go to zone. Humanizes everyone a little bit haha

Not hating but why would a general audience be more interested in this format where some dudes do the 'same' tricks down a few stairs than in an sls contest? Whats your angle here MikeMo?

It was like a game of skate but over something large and more chances to actually get the trick. I’m the first person to hate on contest skating and will never go to SLS but this truly felt like a demo. The amount of “rounds” was too much but having it setup as a team format made it way sicker (although the jerseys were corny as fuck). I’d say 1/3 of the crowd left before the final because of how long it took to get through 5 rounds per matchup.

That was one thing about BATB I liked the most. Seeing pros do tricks they’d never film in a part. I’d often be surprised at how consistent certain skaters are or how much control they have by landing something they never do within a try or 2. I remember at Tampa Pro years back watching Shane O’Neill warm up and I was intrigued watching him do 5050’s and boardslides on the rail. Obviously simple and basic tricks. In his run he did switch flip front board, Nollie heel back lip but we’ve seen him do those tricks so many times. It was cool seeing a different side of him.

You would think with jerseys being in fashion lately e.g butter, ichpig, adidas' black sheep release etc that they could get some shit that doesn't look like its from aliexpress

3 of the corniest to ever do it. The photo is a like a demented smile crescendo. The guy in the back is even smiling just a little more than Borra. Wonder who that is? Think he sucks too?

Or maybe it isn’t about money at all and they want to do something fun?

Exactly.

After watching the first half of the Mike mo interview with Malto - MM’s intent is to more easily integrate skateboarding into the public eye by making it easier to understand and gain more viewers long term (did he land a trick? Yes = 1 point No = 0 points) it’s just blatantly obvious that this contest was formulated as a business venture instead of a passion project.

This is very on brand for MM - taking the only thing you really understand, integrating your other hobbies and connections and trying to capitalize on it. I can’t say I blame him, nor do I think it’s a bad thing (in this case) - and honestly I appreciate the critical thinking in doing test runs, sitting down with others to poke holes in format etc - but there is a reason a glory challenge or bunt jam feel different than this or a street league.
