Something about Brazilians, I've seen plenty tricks from Luan and Carlos, and these dudes pop and flip freaking textbook tricks as aesthetically perfect as they can be done. Impresses me every single time.
SMH "something about Brazilians"... Brazil is a country of 214 million people. The ONLY ones that make it to America for skating are the absolute best of their best. You're seeing the absolute cream of the crop - which yep, Luan and Carlos and Tiago and the rest are definitely that. But it ain't "cuz they're Brazilian." It's cuz they're the best handful outta 214 million ppl LOL. But you still onto something though - Brazilian pros now got that steez that 90's American pros had but most of the new American kids don't got. So mad props to Brazil for holding it down.
It's better for these guys not to participate. Youngsters will beat them anyway. They run the risk of being laughed at. Although this probably only applies to Koston, Cole is doing great!
OG skaters will understand. We just never did back side bigspins. It wasn't a popular trick and we certainly never tried it switch. It's interesting which tricks gain popularity over time with the generations regardless of the trick's difficulty.
Jeron Wilson is shaking his head in a corner somewhere right now and tearing up his prediction list of the winner of BATB. He had Koston winning the whole dang thing.
For Koston to get off the surfboard to come in and still do as well as he did is fantastic to see. Carlos is so clean it hurts though. Those early catches are just dreamy.
I loved the vibe on this match! That’s how skateboarding should be…it’s okay if u win and it’s still okay if u lose! Eric is a true legend and an inspiration for all of us! Thanx for the laughs!
can we all appreciate Carlos’ pop 😳 i want him to teach me how to pop like that. it’s so damn crisp and perfect. Koston wasn’t feelin it this day i guess lol
I am just gonna thumbs up for the both hands on the ground switch double flip approved cause Koston is a living Legend..Btw it is crazy how Carlos landed everything 8bolts!!!
So funny how Jeron ended by saying if there was money on the line, he'd switch up all his picks. But since there's nothing at stake he just put all his old homies' names in.
Koston was like "I don't really want to skate BATB so put me up against someone who will absolutely crush me in the first round so there's no chance that I have to skate a second round."
i had a feeling koston was going to actually try this BATB and that was good to see. I thought he was going to awaken his old self somehow. pure entertainment tho and that switch double was steezy asf
dude he's 54. be glad Chris Cole has awaken HIS old self at 42 for this lol. Koston was winningthe eS games of skate back in the 90s and early 2000s, he don't need to prove himself man
@@eatassonthefirstdate u misunderstood me. koston is a legend. i've looked up to him as a skater and an all around cool dude since the late 90's. sometimes he doesn't try his hardest in games of skate anymore and that's super understandable. for some reason i had a feeling he was going to try this time around and it looks like he did. so i thought that was great and i loved the match more because of that.
There is something super jarring about the 720p camcorder footage being cut together with ungraded 4K log footage. Kinda hard to tell if it’s log but can definitely tell there was 0 effort to grade the cinema camera footage to match the HVX/HPX or whatever. Honestly there’s probably a built in picture profile that looks better to match the HPX compared to this muted possibly ungraded deliverable. I also wonder if I’m the only one being distracted by this😅
Carlos is clean AF
He was well groomed!
Eric had no shot in winnin, Carlos has so many tricks
He may win the whole tourney.
Clean af, he had Koston wobbled with the switch kickflip 😂
Kinda a douche aswell
Kosten went hard. Broke his board and even did some hand drags for extra style points. Legend
😂😂😂💯
that nollie heel at 2:32 is so beautiful
Koston's was better
that flip was mathematic precision
Magnets
That pop he's able to put on his board is crazy good. It must be a pain in the butt to have to jump higher because your ollies are that high :)
Bro I was thinking the same thing!
We gonna talk about how perfect Carlos’s nollie heel was orrrrr?
Koston did it better bro, can't match that steez
His sprinting speed was impressive
Absolutely beautiful
Carlos shaking his head after landing the most perfect flip tricks ever executed is hilarious hahaha
He’s probably thinking “Not high enough, that wouldn’t even have gone over kostons head”
I love how it’s just energy and not actually about winning. Love the positive vibes in this match😂😂
I feel like Carlos is not very competitive, in a good way
Yeah, pretty much, since it the only thing this match can offer.
It was never gonna be about winning. Everyone was laughing and having a good time because it was never gonna be competitive. It was all a joke.
Eric cost-one to be exact.
Koston doesn’t really skate anymore

@@Devillionaire How big is America? How many Americans pop and flip that beautifully and perfectly?
yeah, so does Felipe
@@Devillionaireand the us has 300+ million Americans some from the trenches and they got the steez
Dude, I'm brazilian and yeah, people here do like to pop tricks high, you trippin@@Devillionaire
Eric is such a funny nice guy. He really doesn’t need to show how good he is anymore. He is a living legend anyways. Love you Eric ❤️

Eric, is that you?
@@HandsomePuggg No. Eric doesn’t live in Germany 🤣
@@unstopablenightmarefuckyou1809 ..no one is laughing at Koston. Dude is a skating icon tf?
I was a Eric main for years in THPS he has absolutely nothing to prove. Love this for him
"His pants are..... CORKED!!" LMFAOOOOOO!!!!
They finally gave Carlos a regular first round 😂
Against Eric Koston lol bro has the most weirdest tricks I’ve ever seen🤣🤣
@@YusukeQs Early 2000s Eric was insane. Too bad age is catching up.
@@bergerman487 You mean like, just how you turn a year older every year?
@@bergerman487 I used to think old skaters had no chance until I saw Chris Cole last game
@@YusukeQsYou may have estimated his current level of competence before watching the video :)
Carlos's control is unmatched in this game. Every trick is executed to perfection.
Watching Carlos skate is a thing of Beauty.
This is one of the most entertaining contest in skateboarding so glad it's back!
Missed BATB so much! Love this!
Anybody else start crying when koston missed the switch flip… no well damn
@@chall1299 shhhhh I’m not crying you are!
"The hands were more of a style thing than anything" I've had that kind of steez since I first fell on a skateboard
So far it’s been a fun BATB let’s keep up this pace!
Loved that they counted Kosten's double kick as a "clean land" haha. Fun game to watch Eric is always a blast
starting with a straight 8 is classy, and we’ve seen 3 switch lazers in two battles! this is so fun to watch
Koston já foi um dos melhores do mundo nos anos 90s máximo respeito.🔥👊🌷🥇🏆
Switch lazer flip was so clean
Dude put in no effort lol
Eric is just a golden classic
Koston being 73 years old still going hard. what a stud
54
Carlos was popping unto the moon. Its so great to see Eric skating again his board control and way he stands on a board is so great + so much style.
The vibe is so much better this batb, they are coming out quickly . Love to see it
Koston's a favourite skater. Carlos' nollie inward heelflip was perfection
OG skaters will understand. We just never did back side bigspins. It wasn't a popular trick and we certainly never tried it switch. It's interesting which tricks gain popularity over time with the generations regardless of the trick's difficulty.
still weird that there actually uploading these on a normal schedule
It’s fun to see more of Carlos’ good sense of humor 😅👌 keep it coming Carlos
Im just happy to see Eric on a skateboard
Jeron Wilson is shaking his head in a corner somewhere right now and tearing up his prediction list of the winner of BATB. He had Koston winning the whole dang thing.
JW had problems to understand his own prediction .......
this is pure fun battle! RESPECT!
That kostons doubleflip replay killed me lmfaoo
Great game guys, some memorable moments here for sure
Carlos' pop is actually mind blowing. Insane!
This is Carlos’s first batb win I’m pretty sure
Next matchup is tough. Chris Cole looked so good against Mark. Landed switch lazer on defense
broski been getting fucked with those first round matchups tho, he a good ass skater anyway
nah bro why did google give me 2008 as those 4 random numbers wtf 💀
crying at Eric calling redo on Carlos' perfect switch laser at the beginning 😂
Dude ive never seen Carlos run like this before 😂
Anything involving Koston is automatically comedy gold
He's just fun to watch and funny! 😁
He's not funny. Anybody else acts like this we calling him corny. But is Eric Koston and everything goes.
@@full6330name TY
No
His chaotic yelling kills me
Koston is 54 years old. His legs are chopsticks by this point. big up
For Koston to get off the surfboard to come in and still do as well as he did is fantastic to see. Carlos is so clean it hurts though. Those early catches are just dreamy.
Carlos Ribeiro me impressionou, muito bom, tem um arsenal de manobras, ele poderia utilizar mais dessas manobras com combos em grinds nos campeonatos
no solo é facil mano, quero ver mandar isso descendo GAP ou em corrimão.
His part and Miles are great ruclips.net/video/sgNR-hA-Bho/видео.html
The way Carlos catches everything is so damn clean
every trick you hear pop, catch, stomp.
@@oliverlambert593facts lol
Carlos' kickflips and heelflips are so nice. Every stance. Every variation.
Gonna miss EK for the rest of the tournament! Gotta love his energy and how he’s still skating so well at his age! Dudes a legend. 🤙🏼
I know he is a legend and he owns the place but what's the point of inviting Eric if he doesn't want to play lol
I feel like the edits this year so far have more peanut gallery reactions. I like it.
I loved the vibe on this match! That’s how skateboarding should be…it’s okay if u win and it’s still okay if u lose! Eric is a true legend and an inspiration for all of us! Thanx for the laughs!
Eric lost like 3 times in that game
Carlos' nollie heel was insane. Been one of my fav skaters for a long time. So clean. Massive pop. I wanna see him vs Luan
love the banter, but you guys should add on-screen captions to it !
Those Frosty emotes are hard af.
Love to see Koston do anything
Was so thoughtful of Carlos to bail that first switch double flip
can we all appreciate Carlos’ pop 😳 i want him to teach me how to pop like that. it’s so damn crisp and perfect. Koston wasn’t feelin it this day i guess lol
NO CARBS AFTER 8PM hahahahah
One of the cleanest sw double flips I ever seen
Honestly it’s great to see these guys still competing after all these years
I am just gonna thumbs up for the both hands on the ground switch double flip approved cause Koston is a living Legend..Btw it is crazy how Carlos landed everything 8bolts!!!
Seeing Koston skate like this really breaks my heart. Time really does fly by in the blink of an eye.
Koston in the battle every year is so amazing .
SO INSANE!!! THIS TOURNAMENT IS AMAZING!!
Carlos style is next level. Every trick floaty and stomped
cole vs carlos will be a dope matchup
“His pants are corked” 😂 Eric is the man
good vibes this year guys keep it up
Cole vs Carlos is going to be a banger.
What happened to "no hands on the ground"? It applies to defence as well.
Jeron’s bracket taking a huge, expected hit lol
Lmfao. Had the exact same thought.
His bracket is BUDGET lol
So funny how Jeron ended by saying if there was money on the line, he'd switch up all his picks. But since there's nothing at stake he just put all his old homies' names in.
I loved seeing Koston on the board again!
This whole bracket is killer, glad batb is back
Koston has such a timeless steez. I feel fortunate to see him skate
5:25 why was this accepted as a make? Two hands on the ground? BATB13 judging needs to be a bit stricter I think
It needs to be a lot stricter.
Love Kostons personality and how serious he doesn’t take it!
#skateordie
#justhavingfun
Eric's switch double-flip attempts looked like me trying a regular kickflip. 🤣
Thanks for fixing this
I love Koston, but I can't get enough Carlos Ribeiro. It's all so radiculous.
Chris vs Carlos is gonna be insane !
How many times has a board snapped in BATB history? Can't remember any others off the top of my head
I love watching Carlos skate anything. He’s so sick. Eric is funny AF.
Carlos’ tricks are asmr. Pop, catch, stomp.
Just to play against Koston is such an honor.
everyone one in there was probably motivated by koston and looked up to him. dope to see them all havin fun
looks like it was a fun game, good vibes
good u uploaded on yt fam
First games and amazing tricks , congrats to champion , inspire to skate a lot
Koston. Thank you dude. You’ll always be the guy who made me want to not just be a skater, but a “Street” skater.
Koston was like "I don't really want to skate BATB so put me up against someone who will absolutely crush me in the first round so there's no chance that I have to skate a second round."
i had a feeling koston was going to actually try this BATB and that was good to see. I thought he was going to awaken his old self somehow. pure entertainment tho and that switch double was steezy asf
dude he's 54.
be glad Chris Cole has awaken HIS old self at 42 for this lol.
Koston was winningthe eS games of skate back in the 90s and early 2000s, he don't need to prove himself man
@@eatassonthefirstdate u misunderstood me. koston is a legend. i've looked up to him as a skater and an all around cool dude since the late 90's. sometimes he doesn't try his hardest in games of skate anymore and that's super understandable. for some reason i had a feeling he was going to try this time around and it looks like he did. so i thought that was great and i loved the match more because of that.
Dude. Love Koston so much ❤️🩵😂😂😂😂
ITS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
Koston is forever love! extremely positive dude)
I demand a rematch, Ribeiro allegedly focused Eric's board before the game!
There is something super jarring about the 720p camcorder footage being cut together with ungraded 4K log footage. Kinda hard to tell if it’s log but can definitely tell there was 0 effort to grade the cinema camera footage to match the HVX/HPX or whatever. Honestly there’s probably a built in picture profile that looks better to match the HPX compared to this muted possibly ungraded deliverable. I also wonder if I’m the only one being distracted by this😅
Carlos vs Chris in the 2nd round is wild
Koston is a national treasure. Protect this man at all cost!
That laser flip during the rules wow. And the sound
taking down a legend past their prime is still taking down a legend
CONGRATS CROB AND KELLY!
I remember reading a guy's comment saying:
"Carlos should skate wearing a suit"
It fits nice here
The guy is all class...
Kostin is a legend. No doubt about it. But just please give the god damn spot to some other flat ground pros.
