John was clearly nervous, you could see that in his first kickflip. But he still managed to overcome and win, TJ on the other hand was super confident, it was a good game in the end.
yeah, i just love catches like that. i did one like that once (not switch tho) and i freaked out but no one else really liked it that much, so i thought i'm one of the few who appreciates catches like that:D
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting TJ when he came all the way to my small town in Nova Scotia to do a demo. He really is as nice as he seems in this video! He was humble, no ego at all, kind to everyone, all while skating our park like I'd never seen anyone skate it before. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet him, it's really too bad he didn't make it further.
This was probably the most interesting game so far in terms of who was going to win as the battle went on. Both of them had a few easy misses that cost them aswell. Great game
as stated in previous comments, TJ seems to have tried play a respectful game by times, but John was playing to pass through. only this. i may agree with the fact that he did it to himself but look at the other games. pros vs pros = longer matches. the opposite, shorter ones. respect over competition? different vision, maybe? dunno
Nooooooo, TJ has never won a match and I was really hoping this was it for him. It felt like it when he had him on the ropes. I think most people think of TJ as a tech skater but dude switched F/S 180'd El Toro and even more impressive IMO the switch F/S 360 down Hollywood High's 16. Dude is a beast and just beat cancer, would've loved to see him win... but everyone in BATB can win on any given day. Props to John, that fakie flip and heelflip were both hip high pop, wow.
Well he gets mad props the rest of his life now for snuffing out TJ in round 1. That ain't no joke and certainly ain't no easy task AT ALL. Great game to watch though!
When a Thai skater misses some easy early game tricks expect their late game comeback abilities to go into full effect. (I played (lost) a few games in bkk myself)
I dunno, TJ saw that John was nervous and went for a gentleman's game. John instantly went for the throat when got his turn back. I mean, I don't usually see skipping the basics as a bad thing but in this game it caught my eyes for some reason.
I felt the same bro, but this Is a competition, and if you are a young gun with a chance you have to pull the trigger. Plus, the tricks with he went fornthe throat were so HARD maaan. 540 flip, then fakie 540 and late pressure 🥵 even if it was not "gentleman" behavior, it was a great comeback and i think TJ respect that as well IMHO
that's the only way he could win. TJ faild some basics but was getting more confident and starting to do more difficult tricks, John had no chance on the long run. I like to see new guys getting up there with the pros, but I love the battles between legends. I wanted TJ and Torey to win, but it seems like some pros don't care a lot. Maybe the prices are not worth it.
Way better match than yesterday wow John chyk landed his late flip trick trick first try im so glad. I feel like TJ went a bit easier since he did no doubbletripple flips. Thank god no one did no circus bs
I think John was trying to be classy in the beginning til he was about lose. When TJ missed that fakie tre John knew he probably wasnt getting another chance thats why he threw out 3 crazy bangers in a row. He couldnt risk missing a regular trick and giving it back over to TJ.
Such a good match! John will go so far when he gets more comfortable with the pressure etc. ...those 540 flips were crisp... that switch heel was insanely dialed and the death blow :o
I was not expecting the ollie late pressure flip that was wild and such a crazy trick to do 1st try in a game of SKATE. Was hoping for a longer game but, I actually liked the trick selection in this game.
@@sirdabzmcgee why wouldn't you? lmao you act like it's a spoiler for the game or something, they don't always do the death blow anyway, it's just a fun thing to show each skaters best trick
The energy was so intense in this one. You can tell they both were going for the jugular. TJ in a chaotic way. John in the opposite way. Literally this game could've gone either way. If John lacked on defense then it would've been over for him. Great game. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Lets be real this game should've been over after that switch bs bigspin. I get keeping the game going and not keeping things too serious but if it was against someone more competitive I could see them getting mad.
Yeah the oversized jeans and tight vest combo are a little dodgy however, his total lack of respect at the end was shameful. He got beat and should've acknowledged the better skater.
He should've not lost.. the sw bigspin shouldn't have counted and also tj was being respectful giving John a chance when he was at T then John just went cut throat.. he's the one I have no respect for
That Ollie late pressure flip was absolutely insane.
was just gonna say, god damn
nah fr 😭😭
yes, sir.
It was so high up and clean as hell!
nasty
tj was so goofy and john was so serious 😂
TJ already give him a pressure at the start 😂
I think tj was trying to over compensate his nerves by playing it goofy like that
nah i think john was just nervous
@@13READISDEADyep that’s exactly what all the old pros doing nowadays
@@eliassapand i think that's the only reason he missed the starting kickflip was due to the nerves
You could see at the end that TJ did NOT enjoy losing. He was a good sport though. This was a great game.
Idk why he didn't pull out the triple flip death-blow when he was up at the end...
Who enjoys losing?
More that it stings to lose when you're so close to victory, I'm sure
He’s pissed at himself because he could’ve won with the triple flip but decided to keep the game going a bit longer and fumbled it
@@maizegod6840Exactly
John was clearly nervous, you could see that in his first kickflip. But he still managed to overcome and win, TJ on the other hand was super confident, it was a good game in the end.
yeah he was, his next two tricks had that mad pop tho
You have to be confident like TJ if you're going to wear those pants!
maybe but that bs biggerspin kickflip was kinda out of pocket
nah actully i take that back anything dawg did the whole game was wild hes good but that kickflip was offputting
Backside bigsnpin at the end should have not counted.
Chyk’s Switch Heelflip was pretty sweet.
What great games these have been this season! ❤
yeah, i just love catches like that. i did one like that once (not switch tho) and i freaked out but no one else really liked it that much, so i thought i'm one of the few who appreciates catches like that:D
That one stood out for sure 🔥🔥 3:04
I don't mean to. I usually don't sw heel. I'm not sure.
Mmm. Floaty and tasty
best switch heel I've ever seen. So tight.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting TJ when he came all the way to my small town in Nova Scotia to do a demo. He really is as nice as he seems in this video!

The authority both sw heelflips had, god both were things of pure beauty
That late pressure flip. A thing of beauty. 🙏
forreal and that heelflip made me rewind to watch it over a few times, Chyk was clean w it
Definition of death blow
Imagine this guy with a whole griptape...
i was wondering if it was one of those clear grip tapes
@@matrixrory it was
It is whole grip tape bro..
@@nickvas95 how can you tell though
what does this mean?
John had to show the world he knew how to kickflip with that perfect fakie flip lol
Ese ollie late pressure flip fue tremendo fatality!!! 🤯💥
Anyone else replayed Chyk's sw heel over and over?
That front foot on that sw heel was so chill
Sure did. And then came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one
I still don’t think TJ pant’s are big enough for him.
That was me in the 90s haha. How we skated with pants that big is wild.
Similar to insanely skinny jeans, I think they’re detrimental.
RIP to TJ for still not making pass round 1 😭
He must have done his DB when John have "T" 😢
Switch bigspin was gross it shouldn't have counted and should've been end game.. tj robbed again
this time its on him. He had it...
@@nathanskates98 Um defence is a rule and that absolutely applied to his switch bigspin
@@inmundo6927 I blame them pant lol so big he probably cant see his feet
John in the pre-game interview: I’m going to do basic tricks and work up to hard stuff
John in game: bigger flip for trick 3
TJ stuck to his guns and played a very respectable game, but it did cost him the match. Either way I kinda like him more now...
John doing sketchy tricks hahaha
For pros of this caliber, a bigger flip is semi-basic. 🤣
because the dude obviously sucked at basic tricks
@@joshpetermann Bro, us locals are doing bigger flips in games of skate. Not that hard of a trick tbh.
Now THAT is a heelflip.
Neen Williams Jr. on the rise
I said the same thing bruh. I literally had to replay it cuz I didn't even see the board flip the first time.
Damn, talk about a comeback!
TJ didn't care about loosing or winning. He let the kid win as a gentleman, clearly obvious
Tj’s pants are the funniest kit ever lol
looks real goofy always having to pull them up
Where‘s the Triple Kickflip? Why didn't he use it…
Gave him a chance to extend the match, be a gent. But then John went for the throat. It happens. We'll see how John does next round!
My weekend is complete!
Tj should have pulled out the triple flip! Too nice and cost him the match.
Agreed
@@macbook802bro check the comments after the game lmao
@@eriksloan9803they show no
Matter what on iPhone now
Thanks for the spoiler
@@moedemamawhy read the comments before watching the video? Obviously the comments are going to be about the video.
Thailand represent! Way to go, John!
Didn't expect this to become such a nice match. Looked pretty clear after 3 minutes.
crazy comeback
This was probably the most interesting game so far in terms of who was going to win as the battle went on. Both of them had a few easy misses that cost them aswell. Great game
Definitely appreciate the release schedule but it’s hysterical to see TJ still riding a blind deck
worried abt the release schedule because its gonna leave like a month of dead air before finals.
Did he leave blind?
@@yannickbuttner7827yeah he left a while ago
@@yannickbuttner7827everyone did. Dwindle is dead.
What’s next? World Industries?
Great comeback by John. I hope he goes far in this. If he doesn't i hope to see him again in future BATB. He has potential.
no way he gets through levi
@3:03 that switch heel
Where was that triple kickflip death blow TJ?? Waited all week to see if it would be as “on lock” as he said lol
When your pants are actually too big and hurt your skating
He had every chance to do the triple kickflip..
Facts I didn't even think about that. He shoulda pulled that out man.
Facts

i may agree with the fact that he did it to himself but look at the other games. pros vs pros = longer matches. the opposite, shorter ones. respect over competition? different vision, maybe? dunno
That last trick 🔥 also why is tj wearing pants 4x too big🤣
My boi out there looking like Aladdin 😅
Literally yelled out "WTF!!??" on that late pressure flip. So loud my wife came to the deck to make sure nothing was wrong lol
John’s switch heelflip was literally the most crispy I’ve ever seen that trick done.
What a game🎉. Congrats John, and TJ was chilling mad respect for him
That comeback was crazy, but John definitely got bailed out on a couple of tricks. Was hoping to see TJ grab the W tbh.
TJ got lucky John missed the kickflip.
Really? You wanted to see more of THAT guy?!
That was for sure Suciu's whoooo at the 540 flip make! 4:57 😅
TJ's trousers never left the 90s
2:53 how was that not a rebate?

Well he gets mad props the rest of his life now for snuffing out TJ in round 1. That ain't no joke and certainly ain't no easy task AT ALL. Great game to watch though!
Something's Fishy going on again
What do you mean!
540 flip, fakie 540 flip, and Ollie late pressure flip all 3 in succession is insane.
That nollie big flip was beautiful
John Chyk retained his composure in the face of a bombastic Rogers. The late pressure flip was a thing of beauty.
When a Thai skater misses some easy early game tricks expect their late game comeback abilities to go into full effect.
(I played (lost) a few games in bkk myself)
i love how tj played it out instead of triple flipping and homie used his death blow as soon as he got him to k lmao
What a comeback! That late pressure flip was bonkers
Holy crap that late pressure flip is one of the most beautiful tricks in skateboarding I've ever seen

Probably because John can't do basics, terrible kickflips, I have better tre's than that. Must have lost them learning kooky 540 flips standing still.
Eh give the kid a break, he won his way into the comp through another competition unlike tj who rides for the red bull team
@@Ateamdeferred you do it better then why are you here on the internet. lol
Tj should’ve went for the triple kickflip!
TJ just chilling. Didn’t even try to do his deathblow
One od the best comebacks on BATB.
Also love how TJs pants are so baggy that he literally has to pull them up before every single attempt.
I wore super baggy pants back in the days but they weren’t as huge as his 😂
Ollie late pressure flip It's the signature of John!!!!!
Bro basically beat TJ without grip tape lmao
That heel flip tho was dope
I had to rewind to see it again it was so fast and perfect
The sw heel was better
Let's go John! 🇹🇭💪🏾
COME BACK IS REAL👊🇹🇭
TJ straight got Muay Thai'd. I just watched John's other Berrics stuff. Mental trick selection and so light on his feet, unreal
TRIPLE FLIP!!! It was critical to pull out that trick during the final stages of this game.
🎯
I think his pants were too baggy to try it comfortably 🤔
@@dayrongarcia5590 yes it makes the board harder to see haha
the way john snaked tj @ 5:16 was pretty slick
We should have had TJ vs Torey Pudwell, battle of the beards.
I like the ironic appeal of the RedBull cap and then mobbing the kickfip out the gate.
Way better match than yesterday wow John chyk landed his late flip trick trick first try im so glad. I feel like TJ went a bit easier since he did no doubbletripple flips. Thank god no one did no circus bs
Coming back and landing that fakie 540 flip so clean on the redo 😮
I think John was trying to be classy in the beginning til he was about lose. When TJ missed that fakie tre John knew he probably wasnt getting another chance thats why he threw out 3 crazy bangers in a row. He couldnt risk missing a regular trick and giving it back over to TJ.
Still not sure how you can do a pressure flip mid air?
TJ "Dammit pull your pants up"
Bro had to pull up his pants before every trick 😂
Such a good match! John will go so far when he gets more comfortable with the pressure etc. ...those 540 flips were crisp... that switch heel was insanely dialed and the death blow :o
never in my life have i seen a switch heel that good goddamn
The comeback was crazy best game so far
tj's switch tre was so picture perfect and that backside bigspin was sicccccck
haha BIG W for John!! Im happy that cocky and jocky TJ got seated back in place (nothing against TJ but he was just cocky towards John)
how scuffed some of these males were actually made this so fun to watch. love both these dudes ❤

Because so few Asians get into the Berrics, this is a big opportunity for him and also his first

Mad respect to T.J. Rogers

You can sneak people into the movies inside those pants.
Super intense game for being on the shorter side
That was not olie late pressure flip but olie late Back foot varial flip,) Awesome game
