The difficulty of tricks Jamie defended against to hang in and get a chance 😳 Then to go flawless on offense even with Tyler defending some toughies. Absolutely phenomenal 👏
Right, but it’s hilarious how in his pregame interview he talks about not wanting to end the match quick and having a long battle going over all of the basics first. 😂😂
Nope 😅 Only if you’re worried you’re shaky on more conventional stuff. Then again, considering where Tyler’s first 3 letters came from (biggerspin, switch bigheel, switch frontside flip), I suppose he was. It’s funny after months of talk about “gentlemanly games” vs “circus tricks” that Tyler comes out in full circus mode… and then when it’s finally Jamie’s turn he’s like “cmon little bro, do a kickflip” :)
This is just my guess, but I think it was more a strategic move for Jamie. He was down T to nothing and the crowd was sensing defeat. He did it just to settle the crowd, the match, and himself down so he could go to work on offense.
@@destructionman1 I really think 5 letters is just too short, especially for important matches. It’s a neat word and everything, but the more letters there are the less it comes down to luck of the draw/roshambo, luck of the make, bad ref calls, and running through personal bags of death blows.
@@frozennorth3426 Or just a different format altogether. Like each player chooses 5 tricks, so 10 tricks total, then each player attempts those 10 tricks 3 times each, and whoever lands the most out of the 30 attempts wins. Or like there are 20 different random tricks chosen from a hat, and each player attempts all of them, whoever lands more wins. Etc. Yeah Skate is what you play with your homies. Not the best of the best flatrgounders on the planet.
@@Rufusdos Yep. He got 3 letters on him with pretty conventional stuff, probably to silence all the haters always on about “circus tricks” vs “gentlemanly”, and then decided to wrap things up and move on to the finals.
Nah mate he wears people out from the bottom up, big breakfast, it's not really gentlemanly, it's pro killa, two soft tricks, one hard trick, if Jamie gets you on ropes he hits again hard trick, what's most gentlemanly of JG, if you defend his hard trick, he'll reset to wearing you out for a basic 8 trick or two, it does sound impossible to overcome this, but then again so did ze 'impossible' 😋😇🫒
@@vchosb3166 bruh this channel needs less people commenting the same toxic positivity comments over and over again but actually pple criticizing the Berrics for actual fails like the guy above you
Yep. They made sure 2 former champions were set to take each other out in the first round, while a few mid flatground skaters had no worries. Not cool.
@@frozennorth3426 i can see an argument for both sides of the redo tbh. To me, I would count it but just barely. He didnt have any toe or heel drag but the trick wasn't the prettiest either
I was watching this live and thought this is when Jamie finally gets brought down since Tyler got a few sneaky letters on those double flips, his precision on them was insane! But the comeback was honestly insane grats to Jamie
It's a pity tyler had not landed more tricks on defense, jamie had prepared (during the warmup) some great stuff such as hospitals, front foot impossibles, plasma spins, ... Still a great match!
I like the way they edited the final nights much more compared to the rest of the batb13. I hope that next year they will edit the videos again in the batb7 style
Mad props to Tyler too though. These 2 doods are in my opinion miles further than anyone EVER in terms of flatground trick selection and consistency (yes I'm considering PJ Ladd, Mike Mo, etc.). Like yes Jamie is the best but Tyler is right there pushing Jamie. Tyler was literally one bail away from skunking who we're calling the Goat. Gotta give that guy his flowers too.
I loved how Tyler did Mike Mo Flip against Chris Cole just to proved he actually lands that trick 😅 But we all know he does. Just don't know how he missed that and Biggerspin tho
if tyler can get his consistency up he might win next time. however its not like jamie wont be improving as well. we'll be seeing these 2 dudes for many batbs to come
Phenomenal showing from both contestants. Jamie's strategy after Tyler missed the deathblow was impeccable. Dialed it way back to the kickflip and stayed steady from there. Props to both these legends.
jamie with the mike mo flip in front of mike mo. didnt even throw out the ol trusty merlin flip. tyler did great too. that assault of switch doubles was crazy. good game
How in the world do you just defend a Double Hardflip and then directly afterwards the 540 Shuvit. Insane Offensive and Defensive Game from both players, I think this is one of my favorite BATB and I watched all of them. Mad respect for both of them, the finals were also lit, but this here is just madness.
I think Cody and Tyler do the same tricks, basically double kickflips, heelflips, biggerspins, etc. but Cody seems to be more consistent. Jamie will be always winning Tyler because he more creative in his tricks and extremely consistent. Giger is creative but not consistent
I officially believe, that in few years it is going to be game of skateboard instead of just 5 letters. Because what we’re witnessing here is such a progress in skateboarding, that soon it will just be who wins the rock paper and scissors.
Mike Mo was ahead of his time and people couldn’t land or still can’t tricks he did (talking about pros and good am skaters). Now there’s a guy who can go even further than him and many others who could beat him (i still believe if there wasn’t any injury he’d be the flat goat, my favorite) but always when someone is first in something and pushes the limit someone gets out there too soon. Skateboarding is still new and there’s more and more people doing it. This is history guys
BATB has actually changed skateboarding more than I think we realize sometimes. Flatground was always a thing, but it was less emphasized than other stuff, like ledges, stairs, and rails. Now there is a whole generation of kids who positively SHRED at flatground. These two guys, in particular, are absolute animals. What a match. Wow!
Nah. All aspects of the activity continue to progress slowly and steadily, year after year. There remains very few flatground/freestyle-only skaters. Even in BATB, almost none of the competitors spend most of their time on flatground.
Yeah I respect him the most out of the people in the finals for actually putting in the effort to learn some of Jamis insane tricks like the Impossible late flip (he did it after the finals first try) and the nollie bs 180 front foot impossible.
Peterson is obviously really good on flatground, but man does it always feel like he takes these way too seriously. Just have fun with it, it's just skating, not an IRS audit.
If you heard any of his interviews he is 100% having fun while still trying, he likes to compete.. he also is extremely nervous which makes him look ultra serious. Ppl are too critical of the dude, he's a monster
I was soooo glad Jamie came back to win, as I wanted the better sportsman to win this match. Granted Tyler did better this time by redoing a trick willingly. BUT his sportsmanship is still not where it needs to be. Otherwise he would have called his 360flip-revert on offense too.
Tyler may say he wasn’t really practicing etc, but as shown, he had a plan and I imagine he nearly creamed himself when we won the rock paper scissors lol… he came out hard. Did some great tricks on offense and defense though. Best match lately imo. Sewa and Juan and this one were top tier. Way better than the actual finals with nervous Nick.
