I know right! I'm 42 and can only skate at about a 10th of what I once was... Meanwhile, Koston's skating at a Pro level by today's standards hoping around like a 20 y/o.. WTF!
Anthony I think they seen skating culture is about to become more “appreciated” again. I guess cause of the young kids posting on ig now got them ready to do the vids again
Never stopping is key i'm sure.. I'm 43 now and havn't skated consistently for 10-15 years. Now when I got to the Park just to carve the ramps (roughly 4-5 times a year when I have time) I have to say it's rough! I'm not overweight, but out of shape no doubt, it feels like trying to skate with a 100lb backpack on - but still fun as hell! O, and when you fall it hurts more.
Koston always goin easy in these. You known he got the bag of old school tricks that you have to google the names of. Also Maltos sw frontside flips are soooo sexy
Exactly!!! for instance, he tried that Nollie Front-Foot Impossible.. Then didn't try it again? He's got that sh*t on lock.. Talkin' bout: every late flip, pressure flip, impossible variations, etc... imaginable. He could've destroyed him.. Malto's got mad POPPPP on those Switch Flips, Switch F/S Flips.. The kid is a great skater.. but DAMNIT!!! I really wanted to see Koston go further.... One of my ALL-TIME FAVES! The man was such an inspiration & joy to watch coming up during the early 90's through the early 2000's when I unfortunately cut my own skate career (or what was about to be), short... damn injuries.. & chicks... & drugs.. :( So happy to see Eric's still a beast!
@@miguelespinoza407 holy shit you're right that's a switch frontside 180 flip. What tf was I thinking lol. It looks like one because by the time you've got the board rotated 180, it's basically rotating like a heelflip, and I was oblivious to the 180
I love how involved both Eric and Steve still are. They really live the lifestyle they have always been showing. So cool to see at an older age though. Always so hype when BATB rolls around!
Check the episode with Malto on the Nine Club. He said Mike Mo still woops his ass every time they play a game of SKATE even with his knee/ankle problem.
i guess he didn't want to feel bad for doing them and instantly win, that would've sucked, but yeah if koston really wanted to win by doing his weird shits he could have definitely won this one
Well I guess they're "Weird," but really f*cking hard to do..Pressure-Flips took me a little awhile to learn in the 90's, they were super popular for about 2 minutes, so most of the younger skaters can't do them, once you figure 'em out, they're the easiest trick ever! I remember getting dogged for doing a ton of Double Flip variations down stairs & over gaps.. Now EVERYONE DOES THEM! But all the "Impossibles" & insane "Late-Flip" variations... WHY NOT (at least a couple)???? They're "Weird" tricks?? They're DOPE & HARD AS F*CK! Pressure Flips are dork-tricks for sure, but... whatever. Front-Foot Impossibles... Don't think I've ever pulled one off in over a decade of heavy skating! NO WAY!!! Tried FOREVER back in the day.. & Late Flips..Sheeeit.. so hard! Eric used to do them out of grinds & crazy sh*t, like nothing... in like 92'!! He's got all that on lock... "Weird?" .... HARD!
Hats off to Koston though, still killing it at the age of 43 🔥 #Respect
I know right! I'm 42 and can only skate at about a 10th of what I once was... Meanwhile, Koston's skating at a Pro level by today's standards hoping around like a 20 y/o..
WTF!
It's not the age so much as it is "a body in motion stays in motion".
anas syakir wow dam no way hes 43 lol no wonder he looked grumpy. some one missed nap time?😆😆😆😆
28 going on 16
Malto seems to not age at alll
It's so nice to see such great bonding between father and son.
Yeah i fucking watch only bcoz i got deaf from whistle at 1:52
💀
Makes "I've known him since I was 14" a lot more hilarious
*BATTLE AT THE BERRICS IS BACK!!!*
Anthony I think they seen skating culture is about to become more “appreciated” again. I guess cause of the young kids posting on ig now got them ready to do the vids again
"Airball" lol Koston got a laugh out of me on that one
Gotta love Eric koston
You that desperate for attention?
Eric Marty sane haha
MrWadrO Rodriquez you that desperate for attention to call someone out for being happy
@@MrWadrO bro just said something that made him laugh chill dont think he was lookin for attention Lol
Telling you guys, never seen Chris Chann and Sean Malto in the same room
Grizzly they the same people duhh
Oh shit 😂😂😅
there was one game chris was in and sean read the rules
same person in different ages, it's quantum physics bro...
anthony pellosma but they weren’t in the same frame...
I grew up watching Koston skating. He was one step ahead for many many years. Mad respect , living legend!
carlos pereira vazquez couldn't agree more
Facts man.
Yes it is THPS !!!
Koston skating THAT good at 43 years old is AMAZING!!!
He never stopped and if you become a little older, you'll notice you're still very alive at 43 years :D
Never stopping is key i'm sure.. I'm 43 now and havn't skated consistently for 10-15 years. Now when I got to the Park just to carve the ramps (roughly 4-5 times a year when I have time) I have to say it's rough!

O, and when you fall it hurts more.
Its only a skate not a soccer
go look tony hawks 50 tricks by 50
beobe99 no joke dude, I'm 30 and I feel fucking old after skating 18 years let alone skating for atleast 30 years like Koston
Tyler The Creator vs. Chris Chann
Omg i thought i was the only one that thought he looked like Ty lmao. Glad i'm not going crazy
I always thought that lol
Thailer The Creator
I was your 1k like(:
Yeah my moms mixed how the fuck u know that shit man
Koston always goin easy in these. You known he got the bag of old school tricks that you have to google the names of. Also Maltos sw frontside flips are soooo sexy
Hahaha @ gotta Google..😂😂😂
I was waiting for Koston to break out the pressure flip variations.
Exactly!!! for instance, he tried that Nollie Front-Foot Impossible.. Then didn't try it again? He's got that sh*t on lock.. Talkin' bout: every late flip, pressure flip, impossible variations, etc... imaginable. He could've destroyed him.. Malto's got mad POPPPP on those Switch Flips, Switch F/S Flips..

So happy to see Eric's still a beast!
Are you Eric Kostone?
Yeah koston pretty much chooses if he wants to move on,unless he and up against someone like sewa
6:05 is my favorite. So clean. I always loved the slight pivot when landing tricks.
Same
Same. I caught that too, knew exactly what you were talking about.
@@timfowkes makes the trick seen more technical I like it
That's EXACTLY how I caught fakie big heels and I always loved it too!!!
4:40 best varial heel flip I’ve seen
so smooth
He could have caught the trick a little earlier in the air but it was still good
Andrew Manzano he meant that it wasn’t even a varial heel 😂
Not a varial heel
@@miguelespinoza407 holy shit you're right that's a switch frontside 180 flip. What tf was I thinking lol. It looks like one because by the time you've got the board rotated 180, it's basically rotating like a heelflip, and I was oblivious to the 180
4:40 That was one clean varial heelflip ;)
Father vs Son
1:06 Malto always finding loopholes
Maltos switch kickflip was like 4 feet
Mikey C 4 feet high**. Illiterate dipshit
They're both the same thing.
PriorityMail --- oh boh hoooh, grammar schutzstaffel nazi scumbag
PriorityMail chill bro
as illiterate as he is, it's pretty clear who the dipshit is here
5:43 Lmao it's me whenever I miss a trick
DO A KICKFLIP
ERIC KÒSTONE??
"Hey its chris Roberts." "He just flipped me off!" 😂😂😂😂
well someone had to say it...
2:21
Francky if only it was a long board... $100 lol
4:40 how does a switch frontside 180 kickflip turn into a varial heel
NINJA DUDE I noticed that too and came to comments to see if I was the only one
Right, he turns with the board. A varial whether kick flip or heel flip the board does a 180 with a flip, your body doesnt move!!
NINJA DUDE I felt the same. Glad to see your comment. ✊🏼🤔
TYPO
@More Buckets fr lol
the second Koston landed that big heel I started clapping in real life. I was hype. BATB11 LETS GOOOOO
3:43 Koston looks like the swastika
Hell yeah frosty
😂😂this fool is fkin funny
Philipp Teterin Eric Kausstein
CANCEL ERIC KOSTON!!!
lmao how do people notice stuff like this
Bloody good idea to get flags from all of the different countries. We're all skaters and love it together, Big up!!
I love how involved both Eric and Steve still are. They really live the lifestyle they have always been showing. So cool to see at an older age though. Always so hype when BATB rolls around!
3:10 fattest switch flip
Clean
Sir. Wizacaca dude I swear Malto just has the cleanest and highest switch flip! KCMO repping!
It was a really sick angle too
Check Dylan rieder's switch flips
Scope the foot po too... idk how tf he got that much air by popping from the pocket
4:40 that was the most switch frontside flippy varial heelflip I've ever seen...
Mike Mo vs Sean malto
Hell no lol
Check the episode with Malto on the Nine Club.
He said Mike Mo still woops his ass every time they play a game of SKATE even with his knee/ankle problem.
Mo is still a god on the board. The dude is basically disabled and can still do almost every flatground trick he once had
PHAHhahahah Mo is better
Mike mo is way better than crob but crob still might win since mo is crippled. Eitherway he lost some good years of skating
Sean has nice SWITCH FLIPS!
HIGH AND CLEAN
4:40 nice "Varial Heelflip"
I didn’t even fucking notice 😭 i even went back to the trick and was listening for someone to say nice varial heelflip
I notice it and I’m like whaaaaaat
Lmao i thought the same. XD
I saw it too, little mistake
Not varial hell! Is a fronside kickflip
The crowd’s reaction reminds me of the miis in wii sports
I really hope that colourway actually comes out
“Woo”
“Woooooo”
“Woo”
Mullen vs Mike V.
In a (old school game of skate)
Mullen😈
B/s
Btw next time you do and Ollie or kickflip or pretty much any flat ground trick you can thank Rodney Mullen
Your welcome
This!
Edward Soda Jerk Miranda That would be so sick
Its awesome to see that my childhood hero Koston still got it and he can compete on pro level! Also mad respect for Sean, hes switch kick was unreal.
eric stopping to pet the dog is the most wholesome thing ive seen in a long time
DOPE Dope dope!!! Can't wait to see all the flags! ⚔🔥🖤🔥⚔
That was the most insane switch kickflip I've ever seen
I forgot how much I love these
That nollie tre at 4:59 was straight precision
Glad to have him reppin KC
Crungus Hakooter yep same here, good ole KCMO living dude! I feel like Malto skates like how all of KC wishes they could, know what I mean?
Great game and good vibes guys. Keep up the the good work ! Can’t wait to see this through !
Crowd sounds like they from a wii sports game
These guys bring such amazing style to every trick. Loved Kostons fs flip near the beginning and maltos switch tre and varial heel later on
Malto’s switch flip was nasty 🔥
IM SO HAPPY THIS IS BACK
Sean malto going for that Yuto Horigome look with that shirt😂
Its a bootleg
More Leo Romero foundation
Best one I've seen in a couple of years
“Are you Eric Kos-stone?”
I remember that lol
Eric is such a good guy. So cool and good vibes.
Where are the pressure flips man? Good game though!!
Commoner's Life exactly what I was thinking lol.
Commoner's Life koston let malto win aha
i guess he didn't want to feel bad for doing them and instantly win, that would've sucked, but yeah if koston really wanted to win by doing his weird shits he could have definitely won this one
He could have done a regular one, I mean, for the fans!
Well I guess they're "Weird," but really f*cking hard to do..Pressure-Flips took me a little awhile to learn in the 90's, they were super popular for about 2 minutes, so most of the younger skaters can't do them, once you figure 'em out, they're the easiest trick ever!

But all the "Impossibles" & insane "Late-Flip" variations... WHY NOT (at least a couple)???? They're "Weird" tricks?? They're DOPE & HARD AS F*CK! Pressure Flips are dork-tricks for sure, but... whatever.
Front-Foot Impossibles... Don't think I've ever pulled one off in over a decade of heavy skating! NO WAY!!! Tried FOREVER back in the day.. & Late Flips..Sheeeit.. so hard!
Eric used to do them out of grinds & crazy sh*t, like nothing... in like 92'!! He's got all that on lock...
"Weird?" .... HARD!
Finally, a new BATB! Awesome.
Im buying the shoes
Honestly so stoked to see Koston still shredding like this!
That challenge flag forsure gunna make games much more interesting... Good game :)
What a time to be alive
Eric Koston is the funniest man in skateboarding. He’s the skater I’d most like to go for a beer with!
One of the best battles tbh
*Switch front side flips*
The berrics: "VARIAL HEELFLIP"
One of the best yet
Koston is my favorite skater period! His switch tricks are insane!
Malto !!!! Love from KC keep being awesome.
Who’s ready for the Malto colorway😂
I MISSED BATB SO FUCKING MUCH.THANK GOD ITS BACK
5:20 “I’m all attention, Eric.”
What a phenomenal game!!! Malto was hitting hammers at the end, despite the whole game being hammers. Koston is killer!
Wish I can see one of these matchups at the berrics I’ll bring my puertorican flag for the boys shit is awesome
I’ve been waiting for this.
When you’re a noob like me and all the tricks seem identical 😂
saammeeee
I just met malto at my local skatepark and now I've been watching malto videos for about 2 hours
Sean’s hard flip was adorable then koston barely lands one as well haha
I was smiling all the time during this game
YEAH Matlo 😉
Eric Koston is so cool. Been watching him for 15+ years
How many times did you watch Malto's switch kickflip?? THAT WAS SO GOOD!
Greatest series on the Web rn
Do a KEEEKFLEEEEEEEEEP !!!
Father and son back at it again
4:39 who's you're editor??? Varial heelfip???? It's a frontside flip.
Yea I was tripping like wth lol
Thanks for this guys
I wished koston landed that front foot impossible. Shit would look so amazing him landing it
hype for batb 12 watching this again
Did any one see that it said variable heel but it was a frontside flip
that's why it was variable
This is "The Game of Skate" Soo awesome Sean and Awesome Eric...
#GoLuan
I love The Berrics.
4:39 that was a nice variel heelflip
2020 and I still am waiting on this shoe to drop
Koston has a sweat heart on his tshirt :D
Always passin the torch
4:40 yeah thats a varial heel
That was a greeeeeaaaat game! That's the kind of game we wanna see. People talking friendly, laughing and skating.
Why is the left sleeve on Malto's shirt longer than the one on the right?????
Sweat
Sweaty Socks look at his neck
Met Malto at UIC SLS Chicago
Just a cool dude. Good Game.
correct title: koston vs chris chann
Thanks for spoiling it😒
What a way too start of the new season 🔥
aint that the kid who did all those tricks in part 5 of eric koston do a kickflip lol
I miss you berrics
it just says "Versace plug" lmfao
Brandon Christofis that’s a skater homie. He blew up on insta and he has mad skill and style
Brandon Christofis im so hyped to see him !
Pandahz it’s funny bc it doesn’t have his real name.
Hyun kummer
Where in this video does it say his name?
This Game of Skate was a badass start for Battle Of the Berrics
I want the French flag hanging by the Berrics! how could we make it possible?
w8red out of everything you could ask for that’s s pretty stupid thing to request. No one cares about a flag dude
watch the end of the video
mount a French invasion of the U.S.
Maybe Adrein Bulard can bring it there 🙌🏾
.. crazy idea... but send one?
Don't even want to know who loses! Solid first Berrics XI match up!
Game 1:52
That was beast, Koston still has it bro. Both of these guys are smooth like butter
