I can't believe grown adults think it's okay to have imaginary friends... WAIT I KNOW YOU! You were posting a bunch of bible-humping Jesus-trash on one of Lizard King's videos! Man, give up. No one likes you. Go home.
***** Ahh, just watched it. It was an awesome matchup to see as a Baker fan. It is still kind of a bummer to see Andrew lose though. And thanks, AtanasSkates, for letting me know it was up on the site.
JJ Hernandez Those floors are beyond slippery. My local indoor park's co-owner went to the berrics and said it was similar and I swear I just tilted my board to the side at his park and was power sliding on my two back wheels before it shot out.
Props to Kosten for not doing any pressure flips you boys better start working on your pressure flip body variables cuz you know he's going to be pulling it in the finals LOL!!!
that polished floor and hard (96a+) wheels looks so damn slidey. can someone give me a good explanation as to why almost everyone skates really hard wheels these days? it wasn't always like that. Is the slipperyness desirable so you can get more spin in the landing of tricks? I've always ridden 52mm 86a wheels and I swear by them - am I mad?
wheel size is the only thing that can affect wheelbite, not hardness - think about it. more powerslidy and less flatspotty is true, but is it worth it for the bumpier ride/slipperyness in parks? I see that some people might prefer them, it just seems odd to me that pretty much nobody skates soft wheels any more
Man koston plays around so much he kind of disarms you into forgetting how absolutely deadly he is on a skateboard. He jokes like he sucks while still giving ANY new pros a serious run for thier money, especially bieng pro for what? Almost 30 years?! Insane....
It's about time that koston actually try's and win.. I mean I get he doesn't have to win at his own competition but I would just like to see how bad ass he still is
i want to see more of KOSTON!!! And BERRA!!! it is called the "Berrics"...berra.. eric.... I hear you have a bad back.. skate more and maybe it will go away.. please invite me to skate with you!! I have a bad knee, but I could still kickflip And Tre flip along side with you!! Keep shredding
I like to think of it as a back 180 late halfcab. That way you have a nicely popped/rotated spin. The momentum of doing it while moving will help it spin the last few degrees. Try them on pyramids and you'll see how easy they can be.
i could watch miles silvas skate all day
My homie
Carlos too
Too
Gosh damn koston did amazing. That switch backside 360 was impressive. Think a lot of people will strugle with that.
Koston is still beast.. This was the best one yet in my opinion
Would be nice if you started to do BATB with 60fps
that would actually be really nice
gexwex I wish.
gexwex good idea
gexwex I know it would make me want to keep up with the videos a lot more and watch them all.... ahem you hear that berrics......
Never knew Koston had all those tricks! By far the best session seen! Good ish!
Miles 360 flips look effortless
My favorite game so far, really close and consistent!
what a great battle. and i always love watching miles skate. so much style
I can't believe they still read the rules out every time.
HyperLeafBlower its tradition! haha
haha, true enough I suppose
HyperLeafBlower I can't believe they still have that shit about God and souls in there...
TracerVision I can't believe people are so willfully pushing out God while welcoming the depravity of Satan.
I can't believe grown adults think it's okay to have imaginary friends... WAIT I KNOW YOU! You were posting a bunch of bible-humping Jesus-trash on one of Lizard King's videos! Man, give up. No one likes you. Go home.
That first 360 flip by Silvas was a work of art.
Miles backside flip was a thing of beauty.
I feel privileged to have seen it.
Can't wait for Chris Chann's battle
Same here, I just hope he doesn't get nervous lol
lilchunnky78 Exactly
oopela yeah! and then hopefully battle between cody and chris !
Justin Rios he's one of the best
that was great! Go Koston! I meet him when i was a teen!
I gotta be honest, I didn't expect that from Koston... Wow. He really changed my views halfway through!
Eric koston is insane at comebacks I enjoyed this a lot
Miles Silvas 360 flips are steezy as fuck. Like all his tricks are steezy as fuck lmao
the backside flip was so steez
that bs flip was the greatest thing ive ever seen
Koston comes out tearing it up, damn.
BAT8 is looking awesome. I can't wait to see Andrew Reynolds v. Cyril Jackson and Louie Lopez v. Shane O'Neill.
Andrew vs cyril is already on theberrics.com not gonna spoil you who won :)
無料魂 Andrew Reynolds lose... :(
***** Ahh, just watched it. It was an awesome matchup to see as a Baker fan. It is still kind of a bummer to see Andrew lose though. And thanks, AtanasSkates, for letting me know it was up on the site.
無料魂 andrew's using cyril's pro deck
無料魂 I can't wait for Chris Channs an Cody Cepeda's battles if they both win first battle they vs each other and that's going to be awesome!
Glad to see Koston really doing well here.
20-year-old pro, still can't beat 40-year-old Eric Koston. Dude is a legend.
The best
aa72on lol
Of course
Damn son! Koston STILL has it.
god i wish i could skate this good. GO ERIC GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably the best game of skate I have ever seen
WOW, That game more pumped to skate than a "full length" skate video!
Great game!
Stop doing this to me Eric, my heart won't take it anymore.
They mopping down the floors at the berrics? They were sliding all over.
i was thinking the same thing
#pebblefree
JJ Hernandez Those floors are beyond slippery. My local indoor park's co-owner went to the berrics and said it was similar and I swear I just tilted my board to the side at his park and was power sliding on my two back wheels before it shot out.
Bruh miles with the nollie bs flip. That shit was beautiful
c Cole got them better
KOSTON
Koston still killing it in his 40`s god damn
Was waiting for the pressure flip
this was a really good game
I hyped for the pj ladd vs ishod wait
Miles was levitating over that board! Some monk shit goin on
Eric Koston Rules!!
Nice game.
Miles' kickflip was probably the best one ever done in batb history
Hell yeah was rooting for koston the whole time!!!
1:29 that was smooth as butter
Disputa mais difícil! Q teve ate agr no batb8

cleanest tre flip ever from Koston
FAKE! Koston can't hardflip
jacemarteez i got lucky
Eric Koston Best reply ever.
Oh mai god
+Eric Koston Yo Koston, what's wrong w/ skateboarding these days? How do we take it back to the H Street Days??
First off don't worry about who's done what at a certain spot, go out and have fun and don't take anything too seriously and appreciate all styles
am i the only one who really excited to see the boss in the battle? :)
Nice battle
Was this filmed today?
that soloshot commercial was dope
Miles was killin it. Bummed he lost
that starting kickflip tho
it's rare not to see pressure flips in this.
Nizzi The Elmo But there were no pressure flips
Vasilioskates koston win, that's rare enough
koston doing work
cant wait for Pj Ladd and Ishod!
Miles got clean ass tricks, especially his treflips
Yay Koston!
Damn it was so tense
Good ole dayz
What was wrong with Koston's switch varial heel?
his back toe dragged for like a millisecond
Miles has one of the cleanest styles.
Didn't even have to dig down into the bag for pressure flips
King Koston!
Finally Eric won a game of skate without doing pressure flips.
Last trick was a switch *frontside* 360, not backside.
1:28 THE STEEZE ON THAT
Eric koston is the beste!!! 👌✌️💯✋🙏
Props to Kosten for not doing any pressure flips you boys better start working on your pressure flip body variables cuz you know he's going to be pulling it in the finals LOL!!!
Hell yeah koston!
miles is pretty fucking steezy
True but it's not the same Koston like that one that went up against mike mo.. In that battle years ago

I always see miles skating at our local park
Koston 40 years old beating 20 year olds in skate, that shouldn't be happening, Koston IS God
I remember a kid at Mather skate park while he was there , I've said what's up a fractured but I was never really his homie
Koston Merceu Velho !
Eric koston for the win
Man koston plays around so much he kind of disarms you into forgetting how absolutely deadly he is on a skateboard. He jokes like he sucks while still giving ANY new pros a serious run for thier money, especially bieng pro for what? Almost 30 years?! Insane....
Berrics 8!!!!
(Eric koston gonna win
Nice
eric koston FTW. great game tho
That hard was sometin else
fucking intense
no pressure flips?
is it me, or does the rule about no sliding if your opponent popped his trick always get ignored.
It's about time that koston actually try's and win.. I mean I get he doesn't have to win at his own competition but I would just like to see how bad ass he still is
He got to finals last year...
He got 3rd place last year...
What shoes are koston wearing?
Wait in Chris Chann like ^u^ Can't wait on that 360 flip late varial heel 180 lmao CX
What sb's did Koston have on
Everyone's talking about the first 360 flip oh, how about that fakie 360 flip was smoother and creamier than the tub of Country Crock in my fridge
I wanna see koston bust that hongo as trick on people again like for reals that pressure kickflips no joke
Bummed on the results, he was my mcm.
Thought Koston would do some pressure tricks
can't do pressures
Mike Perez Koston is the king of pressures..
Mike Perez yeah dude, Koston almost won batb7 doing pressures
New floor at the Berrics? Sliding all over the place in the last couple of battles
Koston landed hella tricks.
Good shit tho miles
i want to see more of KOSTON!!! And BERRA!!! it is called the "Berrics"...berra.. eric.... I hear you have a bad back.. skate more and maybe it will go away.. please invite me to skate with you!! I have a bad knee, but I could still kickflip And Tre flip along side with you!! Keep shredding
Anyone has tips for my regular back threes? Koston does them switch! :o

SanderVB just wind your shoulders... then close your eyes and hope for the best haha
thanks ryanwilsonbackup and Eric Koston even tho you're not the real Koston :p
SanderVB Pretty sure it is the real Koston.
SanderVB It is Koston man

Is eric koston now riding for thunder
Cody cepeda will destroy again this bath 8 he can dolphin flip now and some crazy ass late flips and Casper flips it's crazy
Wait why does koston have thunders if he's on Indy did he leave Indy or what?
Sometimes Koston is super on laser focused and other times he doesn't land shit lol
