That's why they call him the real king of pop! And that 540, I doubt if I can do it with my feet on the ground, not mention with a skateboard🙈, Luan is insane. And the opponent is good as well, he clutched with the last letter
not fatigue, but he lost concentration. My guesss: Luans strategy is to intimidate opponents with super hard, fast & clean tricks, but this needs extra high focus, which fades after some time. It's truly amazing how Cody keeps his cool for so long. Luan losing may be annoying for the audience, because Luans tricks look better, so you could think he's the 'better' skater of them two. legendary battle!
@@FanGamesOnlinecom there's no such thing as a 7. Unless he has them custom made. He prolly skates a 7.75 or 7.86, you just can't tell because he's a giant.
Reading thru these comments is really depressing, there are seriously people rooting against Cody ?! The dude can land almost every trick possible first try, that shows years of hard work and a true love for skating. Him and Luan are both amazing skaters with different styles
I don't even want to take sides here, my only point is that skateboarding doesn't need all the negativity, at the end of the day, it's not a team sport where there's a winner and a looser, just different people expressing themself, doing their own thing
These people are more upset about the fact that Luan lost than Luan himself! Luan was a good sport about it and it looked like he had fun, isn't that the whole point?
fun is not really the main thing in a competition, the whole point is to win. so yeah winning is the whole point, but Luan is just a good sport who can also have a good time. just cuz you loose doesn't mean you gotta have a bad attitude and bad time. Honestly fun just comes with skating in general some days more than others. But yeah the whole point in a competition is definitely to win.
I am not a fan of Cody's style and much prefer Luan's but seriously.. why all the hate? The guy can truly skate. It's funny how people rag on him for his doubles yet when Luan does them it's legit. It was an amazing game.
@@Gumbocinno I agree. Tre flip revert? Get that shit outta here. Reminds me of this kid that always did sebastian hard flips and treflips in a game of skate. C'mon guy.
+Christopher Chen They probably film like most of the battles in one day and then slowly release them out over weeks. so he was probably there watching his sons battle that day
Its so funny how these two awesome skateboarders have such a different style. Luan is short and has such high pop and speed, while Cody is so frickin' tall and looks like everything is going in slowmotion compared to Luan. Have to say this is one of the most fun battles to watch.
Hands down my all-time favorite battle among all. lo And the best part of this is the respect these 2 have for each other 👏 Truly inspiring 🙇♂️ for me both are champions 🏆
4:32 Luans trick here was completely different. He did a full front 360 heelflip, cepeda was a lazy ass varial. Call em the same, but they look completely different for me
at 4:30 luan does a clean switch 360 heel and cody does a switch 180 heel with a revert? I know style doesn't count in this but I think luan should have won
Revert is going the opposite way you orginally spun. That's how most people 360. 180 first half, then pivot or slide the last 180. Cody won fair and square. I know it hurts you little fella. Lololol
That was the most epic one yet, IMO. It's hilarious to see everyone get so amped up about this. I'm pretty sure everyone involved is there to have a good time more than to prove something.
Luan has one the most unique and beautiful styles He does his tricks so DAMN clean AND fast...its insane and a pleasure to watch this guy skating flatground!
skatersridge I can off-hand think of a dozen different tricks Luan's got that he coulda easily won with, but in the heat of the moment he was too into his own head about playing Cody again. He went in with a defeatist mentality so he blanked on what to do when he had Cody at T.
what brothers me the most about Cody is his attitude. he's fake modest and forcefully humble half the time. he says he doesn't practice and is just there for fun, he's obviously not, he cares, he wants to win, he studies his opponent and takes it to heart when he can't land a trick. he says he doesn't have a strategy when he plays....he obviously does, he already beat Luan last year and went for the same tricks he knew Luan couldn't do this time. I don't have a problem with Cody winning I just want him to be honest and stop _trying_ to be humble....just be humble. Luan is legit and doesnt hide any motives and I'd watch him over Cody every day.
Cody doesn't pretend to be anything. I don't know where you get this from, just watch his push episodes or any pre-game interview in the berrics.com. Cody did everything he could to win BATB 7 because he was a failing skateboarder with barely a penny to his name. He needed the recognition to fufil his dream and the money to move to California to help him Perdue skateboarding as a career... If you have a problem with a guy using his skill to advance his lifestyle then fuck you, lol.
I remember seeing him in a 2010 es game of skate in Michigan. I didn't like his attitude but then again we were probably 19 or 20, immature. He was killing other kids and "patronising" them by clapping and rooting for them every time they did a cheap trick Cody could do in his sleep. Maybe he was trying to be a good sport but if i recall correctly one kid, maybe 15 or 16 kept looking at him like "dude what the hell, you're killing me, no need to pretend its a good match". I also didn't like how he used to have a little bit of that fake steeze which he's sort of improved on at least. (Again just my opinion) Lastly, this is something I think he still has, is that he was telling people (at least I over heard it as I was sort of just creeping up on good skater's conversations haha) is that he said he "doesn't practice", I think it was near the end of the competition that he was playing a kid who was just dishing out letters to Cody. Don't remember if he won or lost but Cody's demeanor suddenly changed from light hearted and confident to "butt hurt", Cody looked so passively pissed off and he was still clapping but it looked so forced! After the game, which again I don't remember if he won, I saw Cody practising those same tricks that he couldn't do. He obviously took it personal! So yeah I admit I'm maybe being too harsh, but it just those little things that irk me haha. He worked hard to win BATB 7 but I think he downplays his character and isn't honest with himself or us. I like those honest skaters that just do what they gotta do and tell you BUT without being arrogant about it. P-Rod will flat out tell you how he's gonna strategize haha.
+Omar Morales Luna Really it just looks like you’re mad because Luan lost. You’re assuming how their personality is when you know nothing about both of them. If I’m going to play a game of skate against you, I will do the tricks I know you can’t do... Anyone... Of course you are going to try to win, and you would even more if there is a price. That’s no strategy... that’s just how every skater would play a game of skate. And it would be kind of stupid if we play again one year later and you lose with the same tricks... don’t you think? He wants to win? He studies his opponent? Takes it to heart when he can’t land a trick? That sounds like a very passionate skater to me... I know how hard it is to see humbleness in someone you have never seen failing, but that’s no excuse to assume something about their personality. Kinda stupid how skateboarders don’t like each other because they look "fake", or they talk funny, or they push weird or whatever... Skateboarders put emphasis in stupid details... Yeah you right. Just switch and Nollie doubles...right? Whatever! He doesn’t seem as humble as I would want to, so no, I don’t like him. If you prefer Luan for the way he skates, that’s another thing... For example I love Shane O’Neill... come on Shane is awesome... I don’t mind it there is any other "better" skater (according to other skaters) I would watch Shane over and over again. But is it because he seems like a better person or something? Hell no.
I know man. It was probably the best game of skate played in history. And all the people that are commenting about style and sliding the tricks probably can't skate at all. It's depressing.
Arlllo Annnderson It up there with Moose vs shane o'neill, Chris Cole vs Dennis Busenitz and all the other great games for sure. The thing that pisses me off the most is that no one is saying shit about the switch 540 by Luan. He slid that sucker a full 180 on the last rotation. But Cody Slides on that bigger flip and everyone is going mental. I never under stood the hate for Cody at all.
this was the best game of skate I have ever seen. truly amazing, Cody Cepeda just does not fall. if given 2 tries, he'll land anything. when he pulled out that dolphin flip, I was literally shaking. Luan got the double flips down good now, and that was an amazing effort to beat Cody, but he just kept landing all those tricks at T that would've taken ANYBODY else down. good job Cody.
JMAR "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee. Luan is the Bruce Lee of skateboarding.
Yo, luan came out gunning for Cody’s throat I tell ya! This was def a tight game to say the least tho. It’s amazing how comfortable and fluent Cody is with his board. I can’t wait to see his skating nearing the end of the decade. 🙏🏽
For everyone still arguing about Cody's sw 360 heel whipping out the "no doing tricks that slide on the ground" rule : This rule was added because Joey Brezinski did a sliding 3 shuv instead of an impossible against Carroll in batb1. The rule is about initial pop, not whether you revert the trick or not, plus it was defense. If Cody's 360 heel doesn't count, then Luan's 540 does even less.
+whitpapper joms Now is the only time i realized, Luan Pops so high, because hebis high!!! Think of it, Brazillian, legs, drug deals!!! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!
As a 14 year old skateboarder, i have so much respect for both of these guys , the tricks they did are so amazing , i just hope to just as great one day,✌ & ❤🙏.
I think it's because it states in the rules that your trick shouldn't slide if your opponent popped his trick, to where Cody didn't pop some of his tricks
Jamie White I think that Luan got impatient at the end, that's what cost him the game. Still I would love for both of them to play a game of skate just for fun, no money involved. I think that way it would be more intense and fair
Cody popped all of them, he just didn't do it all in the air (which is not part of the rules), the rule only applies to hitting the tail/nose, the rest can be slid.
They're mainly referring to tricks like shovits. If you're opponent pops his trick (let's say a fakie big spin) you can't slide yours on the ground. You have to pop it also. Pivoting is fine
Does Luan know he doesn't have to go 100 mph and pop 10 ft high? And wtf a flatground 540??
Wasn’t it switch too
Macie jay likes skating???
That's why they call him the real king of pop! And that 540, I doubt if I can do it with my feet on the ground, not mention with a skateboard🙈, Luan is insane. And the opponent is good as well, he clutched with the last letter

He could clear at least that switch! Dude has the most pop I've ever seen!

whanowa yeah I was thinking that when I watched the finals he just was launching those flicks
There are ways of trading to do this
Like putting ankle weights on while skating for a while and when you take em out boom high pop

'No slide on the ground if your opponent poped his trick'
Now, compare luans biggerflip to the one cody did.
So that's a good enough reason to hate on another skater ? Because he slid a little too much on a trick ?
I never said I hate him, I have mad respect for him and I think he's sick at skateboarding. But Luan is the true winner of this game.
I don't even want to take sides here, my only point is that skateboarding doesn't need all the negativity, at the end of the day, it's not a team sport where there's a winner and a looser, just different people expressing themself, doing their own thing
I completly agree with that.
wtf 540 in flat :D
Switch 540 on flat
He gave it to him he literally landed 360 did a full 180 after he hit the ground
In my oppinion , it wasn't 540 , it was a 360 revert
I dont count that
Dominique Gagnon by that logic, almost every flat ground 360 is a 180 revert
Luan is such a respectable opponent, he’s always happy and hyped when they land their tricks I love it!

What's up with a redo on that perfect switch 3 heel
and the 540. the one that he accepted was the same.
Not really? The first one was a full 360 with both trucks on the ground, therefore too much sliding. The third one was pivoting on the back truck.
they just wanted to watch it again bc they were fkn steazy
What happened to "no sliding on the ground when an opponent pops their trick"?
MrMezican defensive, and its the initial pop
It means if your opponent pops his tail, you have to pop your tail. It has nothing to do with reverts.

Yo, luan came out gunning for Cody’s throat I tell ya! This was def a tight game to say the least tho. It’s amazing how comfortable and fluent Cody is with his board. I can’t wait to see his skating nearing the end of the decade. 🙏🏽
For everyone still arguing about Cody's sw 360 heel whipping out the "no doing tricks that slide on the ground" rule : This rule was added because Joey Brezinski did a sliding 3 shuv instead of an impossible against Carroll in batb1. The rule is about initial pop, not whether you revert the trick or not, plus it was defense. If Cody's 360 heel doesn't count, then Luan's 540 does even less.
For all the confused haters this is NOT A game of STYLE.
Completely opposite styles.
This was perhaps the best game of BATB8
how high can luan ollie?
he is Brazilian lol
+Zebro yes
+whitpapper joms Now is the only time i realized, Luan Pops so high, because hebis high!!! Think of it, Brazillian, legs, drug deals!!! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!
+Zebro 4 feet I guess.
I think the real question is how long does it take him to get back to the ground?
this was the best game of skate of batb8
THAT WAS FUCKING INSANE
one of the most intense game of skate I've seen from last year
Luan's kickflip @ the start is perfection.
Luan should have been the winner, link he was dominating all game long and has a much better style !
yeah but he wasn't.
Apparently you don't know what Skate is
do you know what skate is?
Is not about style in a game of skate is about how many tricks you have under your belt like nyjah did ollie late varial to win
Wven tho cody wom, he still got wrecked. Luans way better still, cleaner, faster, higher, and looks less lazy.
Sounds like someone is mad
As a 14 year old skateboarder, i have so much respect for both of these guys , the tricks they did are so amazing , i just hope to just as great one day,✌ & ❤🙏.
Luan was on fire that day omg that’s perfection
Hell yeah! Sickest match ever. Luan is my favorite but Cody was very good in this one
So many butthurt people, why hate on cody when even Luan says he is gnarly as fuck? Anyways, whatever, this battle was sick and amazing to watch!
***** Exactly. Even Luan thinks he is gnarly. These 10 year olds have no sense of respect.
I think it's because it states in the rules that your trick shouldn't slide if your opponent popped his trick, to where Cody didn't pop some of his tricks
Jamie White I think that Luan got impatient at the end, that's what cost him the game. Still I would love for both of them to play a game of skate just for fun, no money involved. I think that way it would be more intense and fair
***** luan fanboys are the most pretentious fucks.
Luan's pop and just overall style is SO SICK!!!
Damn, what a comeback
what happened to no sliding your trick if the opponent pops his trick cody got away with some bad one's there
Cody popped all of them, he just didn't do it all in the air (which is not part of the rules), the rule only applies to hitting the tail/nose, the rest can be slid.
They're mainly referring to tricks like shovits. If you're opponent pops his trick (let's say a fakie big spin) you can't slide yours on the ground. You have to pop it also. Pivoting is fine
You're mixing up not popping with reverting.
I think Alec Majerus won since he got to leave with that sweet-ass eco-friendly canteen.
Michael Ruggles Alec is the best
met cody cepeda at a skatepark, cool guy, he's not a dick, he even signed my taco bell receipt
Best comeback ever
Luan is the inspiration for us here in brazil, fuckin style
Cody plays so scummy, when luan does a trick 360, Cody just does it 180 then reverts the rest of the way.
well not too many people can pop their 360's to their nipples like luan
+Jarrod Peace ROFL
+GoJaxn
If you skated, you would know that one isn't easier than the other...everyone has their style.
BER2ERKER
New trend? Have you been skating for 80 years?
he use the rules,whats the problem ?
Still the best BATB match til now.
moose vs pj ladd
4:31 that was one of the most beaultiful things ive ever seen
Wow so much hate on Cody for not popping high th dude is 6.9
Cody with the comeback damn
one of the best battles...
Amazing comeback by cody!
i feel like if luan comes back one more year, theyre fuked!
cody's double flips got everyone trippin
damn Cody's such a champ comes back with such composure
Not even trying to be a hater but Cody has awful style. He's got tricks but whack style
Style doesn't matter. As long as you got the tricks then your good.
Tyler Kennedy You're pretty good at being a hater for not trying.
Slippy its true i was suprized he had all thos double flip tricks on lock
Tyler Kennedy Lol, don't talk shit when your style is probably shit.
Slippy Go tell that at Sewa Kroetkov...
Tom Asta will be win BATB8
Juan Ramirez hopefully
No he won't
Biggest under dog but definitely the most consistent
I feel like its gonna be sewa vs cody in the end
its absolutely mind blowing how consistent these guys are with these tech tricks
This round has like 10x more views than every other BATB8 round.
Cepeda should've lost at 4:34......that was a Switch FS 180 Heelfliip Revert. Luan's was an actual 360, he doesn't revert at all.
defense tho
I agree, Cody was so lazy with his spins
when you're told you can't slide when your opponent doesn't though I think makes that kind of unfair/cheating
avfr+ he didnt pop it like luan tho
+avfr that's the point. No tricks that slide if your opponent pops his trick. The point is SKATE is to do what the leader does.
