so kennedy vs ladd postponed til next week

what i don't get is they have the footage already and they advertised it for this week, why can't they just put up the game?

bait and switch for the nth time, berrics.

It's possible they don't have the footage yet.  Shane vs. Cole only happened 2 days before they posted it.  Some of these guys don't live in LA you know.  Not sure if that's the case with Kennedy or Ladd.

kennedy lives in santa monica, but what about ladd ? i guess they recorded this shit weeks or even months ago and this is just another creepy berra-move ... but what do i know ...

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

If i was a TM i would fire my riders for even stepping foot inside the berrics. People are gonna think chris cole sucks now.

I don't think, at this point, that Cole could do ANYTHING to convince people that he truly sucks. He's made his landmark in skating. The only way he could lose respect would be signing to Target or riding for Selfish boards.

HAHAHAHA seriously, if you're not going to win, or kill, don't even go. Kids are ruthless these days.

Goddamnit! Everything you say is so fucking stupid! They were advertizing it YESTERDAY, obviously knowing it wasn't coming up. Its a scam, they probably get the most hits during batb, so they spread it out, claim if people visit the site that this and that will be there when it won't so that they can get more hits, and show the advertizers how many hits they got.
Its some sketchy, shady business. It doesn't hurt me any, but I don't appreciate clicking on the site, seeing that, and realizing I am just a way for the berrics to cook the numbers.

Yeah it's a pretty lame way to generate more hits. The fact that they didn't post the "apology" until 3am EST proves it. They must get crazy hits all night with people waiting for the game(yes some from me too).

Also, it's too bad you can't x out the ads in the videos like you can on some sites. I wonder if advertisers pay more for this type of ad? I knew two matches that hype in one weekend was too good to be true. At least PJ's parking ticket video was funny.

I stand by my statement that it's possible they haven't filmed it.  They have to do these things "live" so-to-speak, so it only takes 5 or so minutes.  It is possible they were planning to do it yesterday and never got around to it or someone canceled.

Were you bullied a lot in high school?

[spare change]

I love that people still give the berrics the benefit of the doubt.Like somehow they really didn't plan to drag out what is probably the most anticipated game of batb3 for another week.Seriously people,berra is one of if not the most plotting planning im gonna work this to the best of my abilities types of guys ever.He can say whatever he wants but its pretty damn obvious he knows the power of the internet and how best to wield it in his favor.This isnt run by 15 year olds who cant even think ahead enough to bring a bottle of water or wax when they go skate.This is viral mass marketing.He plans for EVERYTHING.

I think you guys give Berra too much credit for being able to control things

[KoRnholio8]

he just needs to lurk this thread and pay attention to page hits and that's it. even a scientologist can do it

[few123456789]

No way, you're obviously just some kind of COMPLETE idiot!!!  Berra controls all pro skaters and can summon them to his park at whim.  He is trying to fuck with us!!! 

[arcam]

Chris Cole should stop concentrating on learning new tricks and fucking work on his style for abit...guy looks terrible

[landCow]

the berrics is a business, they know how to get hits. who can blame them. get over it

[cat litter]

Is it possible to work on style?

[luke_gardner]

I love people dissing Chris Cole's style.

It is totally his own. No one skates like Cole. That is style, motherfuckers.

[Kage]

Then you'd just complain he has "fake style". The guy skates naturally, I can respect that. Same with Torey Pudwill.

[PFIASB.]

what the fuck is wrong with this place? why are people defending chris cole now?

[ChildoftheGhetto]

Chris cole is gross.

[Davy]

To me it seems like Cole is just lazy during this thing and does not give shit.

Whatever you look like on a board, whatever your form is, whether it's how you pop, hand gestures in the air, how you land.. whatever... that's what makes everyone look different on a board.
You sir, win this entire topic.

MZA, WHO WAS THAT? AIYYO, THE WU IS BACK !!!

[Tyroneshoelaces]

cole has been one of my favorites since i saw videoradio way back when, but i will def admit his flatground looks shitty at times.  alot of times it seems like he doesn't give a shit about his flat ground looking like shit.  i can dig the 'who cares its just skate' mentality.

when you watch his old 411 footage, then new blood era footage, then ride the sky it's pretty obvious his style has gotten much more aesthetically pleasing

[kazbenson]

chris cole's style is actually one of the best styles (next to koston) I've ever seen. Fake steez like Chico brenes never looks good.

[sk8fool]

Style is a matter of opinion, what looks good to one guy may be different in the eyes of another. I like Chris' style for some reason, it isn't graceful or fluid as such but I like to watch it. That's what makes skating unique, if you didn't have different styles everyone would be regarded as some jock or robot.

lolwut? still mad about that busenitz game?

[NickDagger]

Yeah... I don't think Cole was trying too hard.

Still a pretty good game. Nugget could win it all because basically no one can do those bigger spin tricks consistently. And the nollie 360 double flip is another killer one.

I'm pulling for PJ to win it all. But I have a feeling it will be either Corey Kennedy or Mike Mo. Or Shane. Or P Rod.

Chris Cole still best skater ever tho.

Also, I like his style:

I don't really think PJ or P-rod care enough about it to win. Shane and Corey have something to prove - they don't.

Everyone is overlooking David Gonzales in this, but he's a ripper. He might surprise some people.
