I was so happy to see that! I remember skating 20 years ago, Mullen was my hero, while everybody was laughing "it's oldschool" and that. Rodney Mullen is Neil Armstrong of skateboarding, no questions asked.
well, the fact is he toe-dragged, as you can see when you watch it back in slowmo, its like only cause the judges didnt see it still means he didnt land that trick correctly. many people when u rewatch it spinned their fingers for a redo because they saw the toe-drag, was judges fault.
this is untrue, joslin would land the frontside double flip and sewa would be found out for cheating in the end and it would dirty his reputation and affect his salary. this is as true a statement as your statement.
Mason Garcia thanks for correctly naming that last trick. i didn't catch that it was switch. I'm blown away that the top comments aren't about how wrongly they identified the last trick. most people are commenting on joslin getting two do overs... people commenting are idiots
I was going to make the same comment but decided to check to see if someone else posted it first. Can't believe i had to scroll through 12 comments before i found someone who caught that.
Haze he's making like 6 figures a year prolly a nice house and cars and goes on vacations. how's that nerdy? if I could just bring myself to make one of these "nerdy" channels of like top 5 top 10 bullshit, I totally would. it's easy money you don't even have to film anything lol just take media that's already public Access and compile it. ppl love watching shit like that. like he's got over a million subs haha
@@TheRickyp83 Obviously I'm late, but you're an idiot. Mo is there to make the call when a skater lands sketch but tries to play it up like it was fine. Sewa is just such a good sport that he redid a trick for toe drag so minor that most people wouldn't count it as such.
I just rewatched this December 23 2017 and I have a different take now. When I first watched the battle I was irked over Sewa's calling redo on himself, but this time I really noticed how strict Mike-Mo was on Joslin in the end. Rightfully so imo because that balanced everything out and the person that I wanted to win, won fair and square...but yeah Sewa gets the sportsmanship award for the rest of time.
Jari van Lennep they call impossibles 360 shuvs because people get picky about if the board actually wrapped or not. so if you do a 360 shuv, that counts as an impossible. although I've seen 1 batb where they did both in the same round and counted it as two different tricks. but that's not consistent throughout batb
just because sewa doesn't practice pressure flips doesn't make it "cheap" for joslin to use them. Sewa was doing the exact same thing with his double flips, he saw joslin didn't practice them and abused it. Obviously huge respects for calling his own (slight) toedrag, but joslin still won fair.
Kevin Schmidt yes both can be considered cheap, but one is more cheap than the other. The main issue comes down to difficulty. Any skater in this tournament could easily have spent a day learning how to do 10 different pressure flip variations consistently and would have been the BATB champ. Most consider them lame though and don't bother learning them. Learning double/triple flip variations consistently is a much more difficult task. In my opinion, if you want to win, just learn how to do pressure flips in case someone decides to do them in a game. If not, don't get surprised when someone is desperate enough to do one. Honestly, I dont think most of them care that much to take this game seriously though.
best of the best means u gotta have everything on flat... pressure flips are a flat trick still last time i checked (didnt have to check) .. cant complain about pressure flips.. part of the game boys
Best BATB ever. 9 disappointed me and I didn't know whether or not it would ever be the same again, BATB X was the BEST EVER. Thank you Berrics! Now please let fans vote on the matchups for next year so we can finally see Luan VS Shane!!
Elephant it's true tho. I love sewa just as much as Chris and I wouldn't have called redo for that tiny toe drag. dude's got size like 14 feet he has to land everything complete bolts
Technically, he did drag, if you watch it in slow mo (so in the end it was fair according to the rules). But yeah he would’ve gotten it had he not said anything. It didn’t look like they were going to call it.
Cris must of been so nervous not only having to re-do that pop shuv late flip once but 3 times' shit thats about as intense as it gets' i would have been equally stoked for Sewa to win' especially because of his Honesty with his toe drag, but I'm super stoked for Joslin' well done' you worked hard and you deserve to have won'
I love that after the last trick, EVERYONE was cheering for Sewa and not Joslin... I like both of them, but it is amazing and well deserved that Sewa was given the recognition for sacrificing the win.
When I was a kid I did a game of Skate with Sewa once and of course beat me but the only thing I gave him a letter with was a pressure flip lol. He should've learned at that time. He is such a nice dude
mr subscriber yeah he is from the Netherlands and came to my local skatepark when literally no one was there except me, my friend and sewa and his cameraman. I remember he shot some videos of a line on a box, but they’re not on his TH-cam anymore. This was almost 10 years ago haha
It is still wrong, no matter how you look at it, for offense to get more tries on one trick than defense. Even if he did almost make it, two rebates when the game is t to t for a championship, is really wrong. Mike Mo $$cked it up.
ADucksOpinion Really? You watching a high speed trick can tell if his toe grazed on the floor better than the guy who felt it? He has no fucking reason to lie about that, it only hurts him.
Has anyone else noticed that tom asta is like a lucky charm? In batb6 pjladd beat him and then he was the champion. The same with Cody in 7, sewa in 8 and now with Chris. Funny fact haha
"Offensive toedrag gets one do-over" Joslin tries switch fs shuv late flip 3 times on offensive. *wins* Oops 👀👀👀😳 That mistake might actually call for a rematch tbh...🤔
yeah but the do over was also a toedrag so he gets another do over, i don't see anything wrong about that, and it has always been like that for every batb games
I was gonna say the same thing. " offensive toe drag gets 1 do over". But I think he landed it good on the 2nd try. No toe drag he just over shot it. It was like a 200 instead of a 180
Rodney is so humble it`s insane. If it was me or Nyjah who had invented all the tricks he did we would walk around focusing peoples boards for no reason.
Joslin proved he's one of the best out. Real skateboarder. He did all these flatground tricks. But most of these cats can't hang with him in the streets on those stairs sets and gaps. Sewa is also a real skateboarder and his sportsmanship and honesty is rare af. Dude is a ripper. I was torn watching this again. I like them both.
Pabgar still only one do over, if it's sketchy on the do over then it's up to the judge to make the call especially on offense. Personally I think the 1st re do was fine
Rules don't say that, they say that toedrag gets 1 redo, nothing about sketchy tricks. To me the call was the right one, winning the trophy on a sketchy trick is lame, but the trick was a make, so the best call is a redo.
unun septium there is only one redo for offensive toe drag, but what was unfair is the redo, his heel touched the ground helping him land the trick so right there would have caused him to lose his turn.
Why y'all hating on joslin for the pressure flips? The point of the game is to do tricks that others can't right? If sewa can frontside big flip on command but joslin can't, then it seems fair that joslin can pressure flip on command and sewa can't.
because they look like shit even when people do them "well" so no self-respecting pro who didn't live through the tiny-wheeled early 90s wastes time on them
Joslin would have lost if Sewa wasn't so forthright & honest. If you look up the definition of 'honesty' in the dictionary, the first thing that pops up is Sewa's picture. He in the winner in my book!
If you look up honesty in the dictionary, you find the written definition for the word honesty, because in most modern dictionaries, there are no pictures.
Rodney Mullen would probably win any BATB if he wanted to, he's just too nice of a guy and prefers to see the kids have fun with all the tricks he invented :D
I was skating for over 14 years before a knee surgery ruined my skate life. I stopped when i was 27. When i see this... what skating has become nearly makes me drop some tears of joy! So sick. This energy. Joslin is a don! Also all the pro´s nowadays are just humble and cool guys who love their sport to death! Keep it up guys!!!
Larry Goulade I agree. It was weird. I feel like they should leave it to the refs, let them do their jobs so everything is fair. You have to give him credit though for being a cool guy. But it was the wrong choice in the end. The weirdest part was that, live, Joslin actually tried the trick and missed it badly. That made it really weird.
I actually met Sewa at a skatepark at Koreatown in Los Angeles, CA about 2 years ago. I didn't know who he was at the time, having abandoned skateboarding for about 4 years since 2011 and not having kept up with the sport for that same amount of time. I just remember his style being so exciting, his pops and execution so clean and polished. To learn he was a skateboarding Titan afterwards made me regret not going up to him to at least shake his hand or maybe even asking for a signature. I love his skating style. What a cool guy!
That's was so awesome to give the recognition that Rodney Mullen deserves, wished we could have a day dedicated to celebrating what he has done for all of us. I understand he doesn't like attention but he deserves so much more for being the godfather of modern skateboarding. Thank you Rodney, from the bottom of my heart.
Joslin could probably play somebody in a game of skate down the Hollywood16... just picture it BS180, FS180, Kickflp, Heeflip, Tre, Hardflip, etc.. etc... etc...
Sewa is a straight up champ, the kind of athlete who competes to be the best he can, and holds himself accountable. Stand up move for calling himself on the toe drag. Best of luck to him in the future!
Pablo Martinez all the time in matches they say 1 do-over sometimes more! Who knows? In theory it's just one but if the redo needs a redo then it's not bad Reffing
No way--he actually landed it the second try. It was ugly but no toe drag. I think Mike Mo was (rightfully) trying to be extra hard on him by making him do it cleaner, especially given the freebie that he got earlier from the Sewa's self call. That was actually the best call of the entire battle IMO.
I feel so bad for Sewa, he won with the fs double flip and it was nearly perfect. I can't believe how generous he was to call it on himself because he was beating Joslin so badly. I felt dirty after the game and even Joslin admitted what he did was kind of dirty. Anyways Sewa is awesome and super tech/ consistent. He's already won, and will again I'm sure...
Rick Taylor you are the only thing wrong with skating... Why not support your fellow skater, instead of talking shit to the younger generation. And I've been skating for about 18 years off and on.... Besides, you have no room to talk. I'm sure you've never even come close to landing that trick. All I'm saying is that I rewatched the trick on stream and I couldn't see the toe drag.
Closet Nerd Gaming he admitted it, I'm sure nothing you would do. I know you don't see the point I'm trying to make, which is fine, but you keep seem to be saying that he should of shut his mouth and just won, even though he KNEW he dragged. That is once again the difference between you and a true skater. A lot of respect from me to Sewa for calling his own drag, when if he kept his mouth shut and then won it would of been obvious and people like you still wouldn't care. Just saying man I've been skating off and on for almost 18 years and I fuckin hate people with the " awww c'mon! he was close! count it!!" mentality. Either way it is what it is and keep skating dude, shit gets harder and harder the older you get.
Sewa: 'I don't want to win with minor toe drag.' Joslin: 'Thanks man, check out these pressure flips y'all.'
hahaha
LuukHoogstraten Koston did the same shit back in the day
Ryan Marchesano only few would know
what are you talking about man,
sewa did 3 double kickflips and chris landed 0
edit: 4 actually
Pressures are dirty, double flips aren't
good guy sewa, he could have not said anything about the fs double flip but he called a redo on himself. that's sportsmanship
Sewa is the real winner here!!
Austinkingsk8 nope he's not
German Rudakov He might not won the battle, but he won the respect of everyone. So yeah he is totally a winner.
Austinkingsk8 he's not the "real" winner but he earns the respect

You think Rodney was just saying “I invented that trick” to the person next to him?
Howard Li 😂crazy
Yeah probably every time they did anything lol. For real though he would be too humble to even admit it, what a guy haha.
hahaha
He probably would have said that after every trick then. 😂
Honestly, he seems so humble that I find it pretty unlikely
My favourite moment of the whole of the finals, the big thank you and applause for Rodney. This was one hell of a finals night.
Just to be in the same building as Mullen would an adrenaline rush.
Joslin “thanks man, I won”
Sewa on you tube after the game, “how to pressure flip”
Sewa actually has solid pressure flips, he just oofed up here
I can fs pressure flip pretty well. It’s a low blow 😂
and the winner is Rodney Mullen!
he wins because he made 40% of those tricks
LMAO
@@bigspliffuh8310 100% of them...
dude is a clown
Sewa the real MVP. Without him being honest, Joslin woud've lost. Thank you for making BATB 10 great

Am I the only one who realized the Chris's last trick was a switch front shuv late flip? Berrics called it switch frontside 360 shuvit 😂

Nope. I did double take because there was very obviously only a 180 rotation and the late flip was incredibly obvious. They really oughta fix that.
Was wondering also ,
I was going to make the same comment but decided to check to see if someone else posted it first. Can't believe i had to scroll through 12 comments before i found someone who caught that.
They also had Sewa's T wrong, it said Chris...
Seeing Rodney smile is one of the greatest things ever. Seeing him so happy after all of them thanked him and gave him a hug is so sick
They were *receiving* those hugs.
PROD: MUTHERF@CKING RODNEY MULLEN😂... CLASSIC RESPECT
I love how Rodney is so humble even though he is an absolute legend.
Sewa, if you see this comment, know that you lost because of how generous you are. He lost in exchange for his loyalty.

nick pekan switch front shuv late flip
nick pekan I was thinking to myself that's 200% a late flip
also when Sewa got T, Joslin's name came up instead lol
Jari van Lennep It WAS a 3 Shove. Sewa just doest he steeziest 3 Shoves, they go kind of vertical, but there's no wrap.

"Ultimately decided by our referee, Mike Mo Capaldi."

This was probably the greatest comeback of all time.
The last trick had a late flip too. Also, I thought that there was only one offensive redo?
"Offensive toe drag gets one do-over"
First try had toe drag, second try was only sketchy so Mike Mo called a redo to clean it up
yeah the trick should not have counted because he toe dragged twice
Pabgar still only one do over, if it's sketchy on the do over then it's up to the judge to make the call especially on offense. Personally I think the 1st re do was fine

if pressure flips are so simple, sewa should be able to do them in his sleep...or they should be banned. QUAD FLIPS OR GTFO! jk

Jonathan Faulhaber he won using 2 pressure flips, its safe to say he ran out of tricks
Heart XO don’t forget that nauseating switch shuv late flip.
Rodney Mullen would probably win any BATB if he wanted to, he's just too nice of a guy and prefers to see the kids have fun with all the tricks he invented :D
That and his knees are permanent fucked up, but ya know, he is a nice guy.
moldyrefrigerator is it why he quit skating?
No one ever quits skating
TOP FIVE true, my board is arriving tomorrow, I'm about to resume after a 6-7 year break , I'm 25, now.
What the fuck are you talking about, he'd get wrecked so quick in here, I don't even think he skates switch minus a few basic tricks..
4:52 to see that toe drag. Definitely agree guys. Sewa could have taken that but he stepped up to the plate. Congrats to Chris!
I was skating for over 14 years before a knee surgery ruined my skate life. I stopped when i was 27. When i see this... what skating has become nearly makes me drop some tears of joy! So sick. This energy. Joslin is a don! Also all the pro´s nowadays are just humble and cool guys who love their sport to death! Keep it up guys!!!
3 years & still my favorite battle!🔥🙏🏼
Whoever tf edited this needs to get fired
“Offensive toe drag has one do over” for the last trick
Oh shit
Everybody says Sewa is a good sport and all. But there is a referee for a reason, it wasn't his call to make. I don't kno i just think that was weird.
Larry Goulade you can deff call redo on yourself mate.
Larry Goulade I agree. It was weird. I feel like they should leave it to the refs, let them do their jobs so everything is fair. You have to give him credit though for being a cool guy. But it was the wrong choice in the end.
The weirdest part was that, live, Joslin actually tried the trick and missed it badly. That made it really weird.
for real.. it was not his call.. that 180 2x flip was perfect and he should have won..
RobSchneiderIsAStapler redoing your own trick doesnt violate the rules. it doesnt even give you an advantage, if anything you could miss the trick.
ADucksOpinion im pretty sure you've played skate before, have you never called redo on yourself?? cause i have
thanks so much to camera mans who show us these moment
I haven’t seen bAtB in years. It’s so crazy now. Joslins come such a long way
sewa, what a gentleman
You guys fucked up the labels so bad 😂
SEWA IS THE REAL CHAMPION
the best champion
He has'nt more syle
thanks for ruining it for the people who read the comments first
looool why the fuck would you read the comments first
FUCK YEAH !
Rodney will forever be an actual legend. ENDLESS respect for that man. What a real innovator. A modern, insane Einstein. I love him.
I actually met Sewa at a skatepark at Koreatown in Los Angeles, CA about 2 years ago. I didn't know who he was at the time, having abandoned skateboarding for about 4 years since 2011 and not having kept up with the sport for that same amount of time.
I just remember his style being so exciting, his pops and execution so clean and polished. To learn he was a skateboarding Titan afterwards made me regret not going up to him to at least shake his hand or maybe even asking for a signature. I love his skating style. What a cool guy!
fuck yea Chris joslin is my favorite now i have to rep so im honna go buy all his pro shoes
This was legit.
I was right I'm so happy rn
So much love for both these guys, banging game! big love, big respect
That's was so awesome to give the recognition that Rodney Mullen deserves, wished we could have a day dedicated to celebrating what he has done for all of us. I understand he doesn't like attention but he deserves so much more for being the godfather of modern skateboarding. Thank you Rodney, from the bottom of my heart.
the last trick was switch fs 360 shuvit? it was Switch fs shuvit lateflip WTF?
Tyrone Cabas it definitely wasnt 😂 it was switch front shuv late flip
Nah, it was a switch shuv late flip.
Conner of Mcmullin Creek I mean he did switch fs shuvit late flip but the name of the trick is switch fs 360 shuvit wtf?
Tyrone Cabas someone fucked up in the editing department
On the final trick too, amateur hour.
最後のトリックはFrontside 360 shuvitじゃなくてfrontside shuvit to late flipじゃないの？
そうだよトリックはswitch front shuvit to late flip
Jaja no mames como van a ser el mismo
Switch frontside 360 shuvit
Ive watched this at least 12 times, and its still amazing a year lter
Later*
Back in the late 80s and into the 90s we never thought that freestyle skating would comeback like this.
Mullen ✊🏼
Joslin could probably play somebody in a game of skate down the Hollywood16... just picture it BS180, FS180, Kickflp, Heeflip, Tre, Hardflip, etc.. etc... etc...
put together one of those legion of doom teams; he'd still probably do pretty good...
fo shoo
What ever happened to Reda???
Sewa is a straight up champ, the kind of athlete who competes to be the best he can, and holds himself accountable. Stand up move for calling himself on the toe drag. Best of luck to him in the future!
Best game in a longgg time. I gotta learn that backside pressure flip 😂
he would've won if he didn't do that. respect.
And the real winner is........ SEWA!
Vinícius Barcelos both won you hippss
Pressure flips are legit.
Obviously
Where have I been, I missed two whole battle at the berrics holy shit
Sick switch Frontside treshuv there at the end, looking mad clean.
there is a mistake at 6:16
Mike Mo messed up on Reffing a little... offensive toe drag gets one do over. Not 2+ lol
Pablo Martinez try again lol. Offensive toe drag gets one do over. I'm talking about offense not defense....
Pablo Martinez all the time in matches they say 1 do-over sometimes more! Who knows?
In theory it's just one but if the redo needs a redo then it's not bad Reffing
Mike Mo definitely screwed it up. Ah well, I was rooting for Joslin anyways. If I had to see one more 540 shuvit...
There was no second toe drag. It was just ugly or questionable.
No way--he actually landed it the second try. It was ugly but no toe drag. I think Mike Mo was (rightfully) trying to be extra hard on him by making him do it cleaner, especially given the freebie that he got earlier from the Sewa's self call. That was actually the best call of the entire battle IMO.
I feel so bad for Sewa, he won with the fs double flip and it was nearly perfect. I can't believe how generous he was to call it on himself because he was beating Joslin so badly. I felt dirty after the game and even Joslin admitted what he did was kind of dirty. Anyways Sewa is awesome and super tech/ consistent. He's already won, and will again I'm sure...
Closet Nerd Gaming missed a front 180
I think it was switch, and I'm sure it was all the nerves in the opening of the game because he started stomping tricks left and right after thaat....
it was a one foot front, watch closely
Rick Taylor you are the only thing wrong with skating... Why not support your fellow skater, instead of talking shit to the younger generation. And I've been skating for about 18 years off and on.... Besides, you have no room to talk. I'm sure you've never even come close to landing that trick. All I'm saying is that I rewatched the trick on stream and I couldn't see the toe drag.
Closet Nerd Gaming he admitted it, I'm sure nothing you would do. I know you don't see the point I'm trying to make, which is fine, but you keep seem to be saying that he should of shut his mouth and just won, even though he KNEW he dragged. That is once again the difference between you and a true skater. A lot of respect from me to Sewa for calling his own drag, when if he kept his mouth shut and then won it would of been obvious and people like you still wouldn't care. Just saying man I've been skating off and on for almost 18 years and I fuckin hate people with the " awww c'mon! he was close! count it!!" mentality. Either way it is what it is and keep skating dude, shit gets harder and harder the older you get.
This was very wholesome thank you
Both of these guys have such a unique style of skating and both are amazing skaters.
