Great game, Jamie is a consistency monster. Berrics HAS to bring Zach back next year, dude defended a double heel, double hard flip and double forward flip. This guy could have made finals night had he not had the bad luck of being in Jamie’s bracket
@@HairySeagull but look at that huge POP on those shuvs! Especially the switch BS one. So high and stylish! Jamie's ones were not impressive at all. But honestly this is an old debate on the topic of style vs. tricks.
Every time Zach defended one of those tricks, I was hollerin' like the live crowd and had to rewind and watch again in slow-motion. By far one of the best battles this year!
Zach was probably one of the chosen ones able to defeat Jamie. Those tricks on defense were so sick. Zach might win a BATB in the future. Mark my words
I bet Tyler Peterson has been training like an insane person. He wanted it so bad last year and I think he's even hungrier this year. The semi-final is the real final this year, imo.
@@sdotwallacedon’t sleep on zach bro, two things he has for days are consistency and stamina. had he made that back heel the video would’ve been at least another minute and a half. also (and this is absolutely no offense to either of them) jamie is like the mayweather of flatground: he plays it extremely safe. not to say that’s not a great strategy, but getting shut out by him isn’t a very uncommon thing because of it.
@@sofiana580 it's a contest ? Of course it's about winning. Going from skating in a shed to being the first person to win two BATBs in a row is a huge accomplishment.
This game gave me goosebumps. Honestly, I did not see a lot of his skating before but Zach is an absolute beast. I believe that has it been anyone else but Jamie, Zach would come victorious.
Damn, I felt like Zach had the most chance to wear out Jamie, but this guy is just beyond unstoppable. Like he feels no pressure at all. Insane! Thank you, guys, for one of the best games of skate ever!
It's crazy right? Even the tricks Jamie doesn't seem that familiar with on defense, he's so technical and analytical he can figure them out on the fly.
Even though Jamie had no letters in this game, this game still felt very competitive. Zach held his own for a whiiiiiiiile! I instantly subscribed to his channel after this battle.
Note that Jamie was able to defeat (without getting a single letter) two great skates such as Sewa and Zach, not even using his most lethal weapon: the Merlin Twist! Impressive
Jamie's gonna run all the brackets with no letters and get banned from any future BATB hahaha. In all seriousness nice to see how he skates when on defense for an extended period of time finally. Dude has 0 chinks in his armor aside from the 360's, its nuts
@@cacaloca5434lol yeah. Jamie looked like he’d just woken up from a long night and gotten spliffed, didn’t even care. He was just laughing with his friends the whole time, probably just waiting to get some food and get on with their day. Meanwhile Jeff “negative pop” DeChez sketches through every trick with his “THIS is my Moment” game face on 😅 Anyone who says Griffin has no style should watch That game to see him side-by-side with Jeff. DeChez defended a clear impossible with the most “3-shove” 3-shove that ever 3-shoved, with visible airspace between him and the board for the entire 360 degrees, and someone called it out in the comments, and the dude comes in to defend himself, saying that even if he knew he failed to do an impossible, the judges didn’t notice, so he should get to take credit and not re-do or take a letter. I don’t know what’s funnier, openly admitting he Knowingly got away with credit for a basic trick he can’t do, or him reading through all the comments and getting in a fight with all the people calling him out.
I legit don't see any competition for Jamie this year, he has to have an off day to get beaten by someone. He doesn't fail on basics and has the most impressive end-game tricks.
What a game. Jamie showing he can hold it down with a basic beast. Zach was immense. But Jamie is Jamie. So many finishing moves. Hyped to see him in the next round
That might be one of the best games of SKATE ever, The defense from Zach was insane! But just the fact Zach couldn't grind Jamie down when on offence just shows how strong Jamie is!
I'm not surprised at the outcome, but I did honestly think there was a good chance it could go either way. Jamie has insane offense, and Zach clearly has insane defense. So this was almost the unstoppable force vs immovable object, but Jamie is just out of this world.
imo jamie learned from the zach vs giger round that zach's strategy is to exhaust the opponent, so he tried to conserve as much energy as possible when he was in the defense side
Zach is one of my favorites. I'm still waiting for him to go pro. I don't typically buy products based on whose name is on them but I would for Doelling.
That was a great game we all know Jamie has those crazy niche tricks that no one can do but Zach was definitely up for the challenge with that defense. I really enjoyed that one bravo
Jamie may have gone super slow and barely popped a lot of these tricks but he proved that he has the basics down every try as well as the crazy wizard tricks. I was worried when Zach got his turn after what happened to Jonny but now he seems even more unbeatable.
Yeah. Also if something is a trick you don’t do every day such that it has its “ideal feel” wired into your current skate life, then it’s best to do the highest-probability version of the trick, which isn’t hauling ass and blasting high. there’s a reason why we respect when skaters (including Griffin) do things fast and high: it’s Harder …and SKATE is about maximizing consistency, not minimizing it for stunt cred. but, IF you’ve been doing Trick X every day medium-high recently, then you should do it that way in SKATE also, because that’ll be most familiar, most dialed-in.
@@okisktr8728 maybe they should first enforce the current rules before adding new ones - No Hands on the Ground? That should have been a letter for Zach
I had high hopes for Zach thought he was going to take it, but as soon as I heard he hit up Jamie for the end, damn good game. Great freaking skating. Good luck to you all
Speaking for myself, Zach Doelling's the great discovery of this BATB edition. Super consistent and proper on offense and just an amazing defense performance in this battle. One of the best matches so far !
Incredible match! 🤘🏻🤘🏻I don’t think Jamie can be beat unless someone comes out on offense and just goes ham. Props to Zach for landing some insane tricks on defense.
Give him the trophie!!! Jamie could be the first skater to win BATB every single time he choses to play... The first ever undefeated skater in BATB. This kid is in a league of his own. I really hope he stays healthy and this humble because he is here to stay.
I agree, Jamie is an absolute flat ground monster, but Zach made this game insanely entertaining. The defensive makes were insane and I was impressed by both sides here. Hoping Jamie takes it all again, 2 years in a row for Jamie would be great lol
Zach held his own and pulled some crazy defense. I wouldn’t doubt if Jamie wins the whole thing again. He’s just to consistent with these insane flat ground tricks.
Thank you for the opportunity 🖤. Jamie is unreal!!
Yo dude that hardflip double on defense made you a winner in my book. Nasty.
your defense man.... take your roses 🌹
No doubt one of the best skaters this season 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man u was on fire
Great game dood
So much screaming in this match. The defense was INSANE!
I see ya Papa
wtf ive been watchin you for like 6 years and never knew you were into skating
Too bad you did you you’re friend dirty and now he’s doing better without you.
@@laafawnduh huh
TIL Yammie is a skateboarding fan. ❤
Zach’s defense was actually nuts. He must have like 5 or 6 tricks he defended in this round that have never been defended before. Unreal.
defense double hardflip blew my mind
Crazy cool
Remember when double flips were a guaranteed letter
Zach's offense was boring because Jamie can barely pop a shuvit
@@standerrThat's the weak point of being a flip wizzard. You need to be carefull with basic tricks because you can overrotate it easily.
I screamed so loud when Zach did both the double hard, and the double dolphin on defense, his defence game was insane
Same. While fam sleeping.
that wasn't a dolphin double flip, but he was on defense 🙂
Props to Zach. Dude is killing it.
Great game, Jamie is a consistency monster. Berrics HAS to bring Zach back next year, dude defended a double heel, double hard flip and double forward flip. This guy could have made finals night had he not had the bad luck of being in Jamie’s bracket
and the late shuvit
Double front flip on flat? nbd af, Zach Doelling is too OP doing mega ramp tricks at Batb
Yeah berrics should have bring Spencer Barton actually, the only one beside Tyler who could stand Jamie Griffin.
don’t forget how close he was both times with the impossible late flip on last letter
@@jamesbest9806forward flip
Doelling was holding up on them doubles. Dudes sick
Zach's defense was insane but Jamie is just on a whole other planet.
Spoiled it damnit.

He just can't miss. It is incredible.
Zach pops higher and goes faster but yea jamie has more wizard tricks
One of the best battles we've seen in a BATB. Some huge clutch defense.
The closest and hardest official game ever leading to skunk'd
Closest? :D zach didnt get any letters on jamie

Love how the crowd doesn't even get excited when Jamie does the tricks because everyone's already expecting him to do some crazy tricks
His trick selection put me to sleep, luckily I was more entertained on watching Zach!

Or switch fs 360 Kickflip, or weather Flip, or cancel Flips, or any variation on any of those. His list of crazy hard flatground tricks is long
He didn't go for the Merlin Twist because Zach has them on lock too.
Props to Zach that was some good defence
Yep and he also played it smart! Amazing skater
Zach's kickflips will forever always be my favorite
Zach landing the double Hardflip so clean on defense was so dope 🏆
This was the most insane defense I have ever seen in my life. Mad respect for Zach.
Zach was one of the participants I really wanted to win it all, such sick style, tricks and execution. Sad he did not take this one.
Besides Spencer Barton last year, this is the best game someone has played against Jamie. Very well done Zach.
Barton crazy good to have gotten Jamie to T
Tyler Peterson played him pretty good in finals.
Bartons game was one of the best. Not the cleanest or most serious game, but I was suprised to see the outcome of Jamie vs Jeff in the EŚ game.
@@cacaloca5434lol yeah. Jamie looked like he’d just woken up from a long night and gotten spliffed, didn’t even care.

Jimie VS Luan wanna be legendary match
Luan would end jamie if given a set. Luan is too intimidating for Jamie.
Luan always goes too hard and pays for it. Fast and pops high, but will miss tricks for it when he has them down easy
@@jedbriimc9879if given a set…. It’s a flat ground comp dude Jaimie will win again this year he’s too nasty on flat
Dont forget his rock paper scissor skills
Matching the double hardflip, has got to be one of the best moments ever of BATB.
It's *Hard double flip not 'Double hardflip'.
No ?? wtf...
What a game. Jamie showing he can hold it down with a basic beast. Zach was immense. But Jamie is Jamie. So many finishing moves. Hyped to see him in the next round
Zach was popping everything 🔥 made defense and offense with steeze
That might be one of the best games of SKATE ever, The defense from Zach was insane! But just the fact Zach couldn't grind Jamie down when on offence just shows how strong Jamie is!
Zach did his homework. It looks like he prepared for some of these insanely technical tricks that Jamie would do.
Great game! Felt like it could have been the finals… Jamie is a machine, but Zachs’ pop is awesome to watch!
Doggggg. Zach’s defense was nuts! The double hardflip was so nuts I put out my joint to rewatch.
Best match yet. Props to both, they put on a SHOW🤩

The shuvs. Definitely lol
@@starroving6464 I think he just has no pop.
Everything looks better when you barely land something
Wow. Zach is really, really good. It's weird how he's become one of my favorite skaters.
Style. Pop. Tech. Gnar. STRUCTURED.
THAT WAS A CRACKER!! Double heel flip and double hard flip on D was MAJESTIC 🙌
loved seeing zach take part in this years BATB, this guy definitely deserves the recognition!!
Zack impressed me man, I thought it was kinda a fluke him beating Johnny, but man he landed some crazy stuff on defense
The guy is very good, Giger has been really unlucky with the draws.
fluke? wtf
@@Brian-xb7qvI'm imagining he thought it was a fluke beating Jonny but then saw this game and quickly realized that Zach is outstanding as well
Zach’s style is by far one of the best styles I’ve ever seen and even on flat ground it looks so sick
Holy crap that defense. Crazy thing is, that defense from Zach actually overshadowed how absolutely amazing Jamie was on offense.
I feel like both were there mentally. Amazing performance by the defending champion displaying high level flat ground skateboarding 🙌
No way Jamie doesn’t win this whole thing he is so consistent and has the deepest bag of tricks I’ve ever seen
I like the funky shuv's from Jamie, it's almost like he just started skating, which is insane given the things he can land.
I think those were quite normal shuv's. Some a bit sketch. Zach, on the other hand, had INSANE pop on his.
They're freaking shuvs, who cares 😅
What an amazing game! I’m still shaking to this day 🖤🖤🖤
What a game! Surely one of the best of the history of BATB
Two of my favorite skaters - this did not disappoint!
Zach is one of my favorites. I'm still waiting for him to go pro. I don't typically buy products based on whose name is on them but I would for Doelling.
Same bro.

Props to Jamie, always exciting to watch. Zach has the cleanest style and had some great defense this round. Look forward to seeing him next year.
Such a good match between two great guys to watch skate! Love watching Zach’s channel.
Jamie is unbelievably consistent! How can you beat that? But Zach you showed up! Great job man! Next year come bak and get em!
Jamie may have gone super slow and barely popped a lot of these tricks but he proved that he has the basics down every try as well as the crazy wizard tricks. I was worried when Zach got his turn after what happened to Jonny but now he seems even more unbeatable.
There gonna make a new rule, must be going ___ mph speed or it doesn’t count lol
