Damn...I thought at least one goofy name would be in it. Seems like all the right people are in it. Wish Torgy was in though. And no CK1.

Serious let down. I find it hard to believe more people voted for "Mike Piwowar" than Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, or any of the others who would've actually made this interesting.

I miss the first editions of BATB, where they just included whoever was at the park that day. I remember being impressed by a lot of people's flat game.

Side note: it's funny that people last year wanted a Joe to upset the whole thing, but when Nick Holtz started doing just that, they wanted him out.

Is it hard to believe? Why would people knowingly voting to see who is in a game of skate vote for people not necessarily known for flatground skills. There is definitely a popularity contest going on but it's somewhat based on who is likely to contribute to a good game.

Nick Holt got robbed last time. His 540 flip was clean as a whistle, Koston touched the floor after landing his nollie double heel.

I'm surprised that they have all those battle of aberrica finalists but not the actual winner, Juan Escota.  Though I guess this was a voted on list and who the fuck wants to see that guy pressure flip his way to the top?

i like how the voting was all just to generate site traffic. do you think they even looked at the polls or just said "fuck it. were putting these guys in"?

People complain about the "dumb" tricks that some of the Joes did last year, yet it was exactly "dumb" tricks that Koston used that took out Nick Holt (and then Sewa).

No one in the world wants to see that guy again. Ever. In his life.

Originally they were supposed to have the Aberrica winner in but the way he won (doing all pressure flips) pissed the people off at the berrics so much they just put him on that list to get voted in. Which doesn't even matter because everyone who was in battle of aberrica got on that list anyway haha

Exactly. So pathetic.

Steve Berra & Eric Koston trolling for website traffic? Things can't be great over there business wise.

I admit, I voted for Piwowar because he got fucked by that Escoto person. He pops his tricks and they look good.

Daewon said in some interview a while ago, that he doesn't want to enter batb because he could never achieve the ridiculous expectations people have for him.

The vote was full of shit, a cheap way to get some traffic on the site. Berrics is trying to make this into a sports event, but do even the kids care if the finalists are some random flatground fuckers that you can find from pretty much every skatepark
