BATB 7

[Hercules Rockefeller]

i am outraged.

[eastenders]

Is it gross to pull out a gross trick against a gross skater when you yourself are a gross skater?

[hufs calve muscles]

I like a Asta. I thnk he has a rad style.  He doesn't seem to get much love here though.

Asta is one of the most boring skaters I can think of... And he's not even that hateable - just boring! (I see him go down the Sierra Fellers route sometime in the future)

[heckler]

Those screenshots and this argument are even worse than the time Gomez took a bunch of stills from a Keegan Sauder part to convince people he has bad style.

[stephop]

People who think that is a front foot impossible think this is a proper impossible vs more than a pop shuv it

[andocom]

The one in the 5 on flat looked proper to me, his foot is off in that one still but looks like it is wrapping the board in the next ones.

great arrow and caption tho.

I call it imposter. If in game of skate someone would do an impossible I would do the imposter, if someone would do a 360shovit, still I would do the imposter. If I'm doing the imposter and someone asks if that was a 360shovit or impossible, I say that i don't care and he can do whichever he likes.

But I like this MikeMo front foot impossible, I've got to say it's way better than that 360shovit late flip or underflip he was abusing. this one is nicer on the eyes and closer to a legit street maneuver.

pressure kickflip?
LOL, back in my day we called em "in flips"
#oldman

[eastenders]

I actually watched the game and Mike Mo did the same trick twice? First he did a 360 shuvit (gayest trick) and they called it an impossible. Then he did another 360 shuvit (still gay) and it was a front foot impossible.

360 shuvit (gay)
ollie impossible (questionable)

[Swithflip]

360 shove it of Sewa.

[LloydChristmas]

front foot impossibles spin the other direction like penny's switch one in menikmati, right?

[Turtle Boy]

Not gonna lie, Asta impressed me. I'd like to see him as the underdog who beats shane o'neill...

[Iceman]

you guys realize that an impossible shuv its because of the wrap, right? you don't shuv it with the foot that's not wrapping. pretty simple really.

...ok sorry that I was watching the game and saw the switch heel and wanted to comment on how good it was. Then I saw someone else had already done so so I agreed with him.

What tricks of his "looked good"?

[shit_for_brains]

That was some doodoo style

[ben shraider]

These have been pretty good games, Astas skating has gotten a bit more stylish and interesting since the last time. Nyjahs and MikeMos game was insane, but kinda sucks he ended it with pretty much the dirtiest move possible. Would've rather seen him give a try at that sw bs 3 flip or some other crazy trick

[soccer mom]

Tom Asta has some pop. Made that Joe look like a joe, a joe who can do a lot of damn tricks tho. Good game

[germy rogirs]

yea he had a pretty average style but he was pretty clean and consistent

Boring off the board??  do you want him to main line some gas.. take a shit on a cop car.. while pouring a bucket of cum/blood on himself?
Westgate might be the most boring dude in the world 'off the board' but do i care?  i just wanna see him skate.

Asta is rad.  To me anyway. 

[Monkey_Mcpott]

Why doesn't the berrics just post the battles everyday or every other day?? I'm sure the most views for them is on the weekends during BATB time, at least this way they would get views regularly.

I think he means he's just one of those dudes whose definitely good but doesn't really stand out.  While I can appreciate his skating, there's plenty of other people who can do what he does with a style some might find more aesthetically pleasing but like you said it's subjective.

[hufs calve muscles]

i get what youre saying.  that switch heel though.

cant wait for the next Luan game.  he might crack the berrics floor.

most of the raddest skaters have a rad or atleast interesting personality, things go hand in hand

In fairness, if a dude was a ripper and did do that, are you telling me you wouldn't think he was pretty rad?

But yeah, I like Asta. He's got a nice slow-mo, poppy, floaty thing going on
