The Pros: Paul Rodriguez, Luan Oliveira, Chris Cole, PJ Ladd, Eric Koston, Chaz Ortiz, Nyjah Huston, Mike Mo Capaldi, Shane O'neill, Trent McClung, Albert Nyberg, Tom Asta, Morgan Smith, Moose, Sewa Kroetkov, and Weiger Van Wageningen.
The Joes: Cody Cepeda, Chris Chann, Nick Holt, Jonny Giger, CJ Tambornino, Tanner Lawler, Spencer Brown, Griffin Gass, Chhandy Khon, Will Fyock, Moses Adams, Gavin Nolan, Nate Principato, Cristian Vannella, Cody Whitt, and Eric Martinac.

@JesseDumontt 7 лет назад

Suke, or you know, it's also possible those were the only late flip variations he knew he could do or was confident enough with to do, and wasn't feeling any others (or knew any others) and just lost fair and square. Notice how it was literally all consistency and fundamentals that won this game. Paul didn't give Johnny a single letter with a weird or hard trick. These joes don't have the consistency or fundamentals is all.
