The Most Epic Battle In BATB History

- The premise of 2014's “Pros vs. Joes,” our seventh season of BATB, was simple: unknowns go up against the best in the biz. It was also the first Battle At The Berrics Finals to be broadcast live. So, when Michigan’s Cody Cepeda pulled off an upset against odds-on favorite Luan Oliveira the whole world could experience the resulting mayhem in The Berrics. The crowd of fans jumped off the bleachers; the stampede knocked all the barriers over. The 1,000 or so fans in the arena joined hundreds of thousands more who were glued to their screens, witnessing history in the making. Well, that’s definitely one way to get known.
Cepeda and Oliveira both returned in 2018 for BATB 11. This time, Oliveira rolled away with the vic-he's still our reigning champ.

Luan's tricks are prototypical. They are the most perfect versions of the trick possible.
ahh, apparently not?
@@cwr8618 he misses exactly because he only knows how to do them perfectly haha
@@lucasmontenegro8938 haha. dude is unreal for sure
As i read your comment @3:00 just so happened to play haha
@@smoothcoastin2484 lmfao
everytime I see luan he's always stoked and clapping for the other guys, the dude comes off humble n kool af.
@backsideflip Probably about the point started feeling weird about getting away with two toe drags in the last few tricks
@Erratic Formula thats how the kool kidz spell it
See I got the total opposite, came off arrogant and smug to me
Luan is allowed 4 toe drags each battle because he skates 4x as fast as everyone else.@@BogusNoise
That’s prob why cuh be losing. You gotta zone in n say I’ma destroy competition 😂
Should be a new rule for Luan:
"No taking your tricks to the moon and back if your opponent merely popped his trick".
Like he could help himself avoiding it haha.
It's not just how high he can flip, is the whole motion, like if the board is glued to his feet, not to mention the speed...
His choice
@@carlomure ooohhhhhhh I didn't realise
It would probably be harder for him not to pop high. His timing and muscle memory is too strong going high. I love watching him skate.
i can't like this. it's at 666
Berra: unfortunately all tricks must be done at under 40 mph.
Luan: [frowns in Portuguese]
Underrated comment
So crazy that Cody didn’t miss a trick considering this was the final! Amazing battle!
He didn’t miss a trick the whole final. Landed everything in the semi too!
Fuckin Insane..
That’s my homeboy he’s always been a beast on the board
@@adamruiz8981 fr ? Bro he’s one of the best to do it
Doesnt matter if its final or first round if you start and land every trick
Better than any other sports show: No commentators, no stadion speakers. Just a pure battle and a hooting crowd!
i think you're 100% onto something. i want to see sports with zero fucking interruptions. no commenters, no music, just pure sport
There's some street ball basketball stuff that gets hype like this. I'm a skater but you might like those channels. Its more adversarial
Man I still remember sitting in history class hiding my phone under my hoodie watching this when it went down. Still blows my mind
Trying to hold back reactions to the tricks lol
You know it
Well at least you were still studying history.
I was lucky enough to have interesting history lessons, I didn't have to use my phone there, miss those times
What year did this game of sk8 happen?
This shows you how different skaters are, they cheer both sides and clap each other.
No rivalry or favourites shows just great sports men and appreciation of skills
Fact 💯💯
batb12 championship vibes are a bit different i feel like...
The Most Epic Reaction to a Pressure Flip in BATB History
True
Noo when prod landed that 540 flip vs pj Ladd guy took off his clothes
I think it was a nod to Koston because if I remember right Koston did that same pressure flip in that same batb before he was eliminated
@@pop3754 that wasnt some guy that was jimmy fuckin carlin
It was a back foot heel flip.
Luan seems like a super humble dude
Yeah man, as a brazilian i can see honestly his humbleness, hes such a good guy
Ah yes the one with the classic comment: "weed vs cocaine"
Lol
Ishod Wair vs Luan Olivera 2 is a perfect example
Yo I laughed out loud reading this I remember
This comment should have 1B likes 😂😂😂🤣
thank you
Cody Cepeda was unstoppable during BATB7. He didnt miss a single trick during the whole final. Cody had to win against Trent McClung, Shane O' Neill, Tom Asta and Sewa Kroetkov to reach this final.
oh wow those are battles against beast after beast after beast
Yo that’s actual insanity. Well deserved win for sure.
I totally agree on this comment “ Man bring back Johnny Giger
Yes, I'd love to see Giger back. He's learned so much more and is even more consistent than he was in his first appearance at the berricks.
not sure if it makes sense to bring a flatground-only skater to this competition. Wouldn't really be fair imo
He is so boring...
@@ozneztarg he does tre’s to primo wym boring ? 😂
@@2Swift4u hard work is not unfair.
Luan has such a sick style, i love how hard he pops
Dylan Jaeb let's get a BATB with him..he is insanely good
Right 🙌
He’s not unknown
@@lukechambery3135 I didnt say he was. Just wanna see him in a BATB episode
Yes
only way to make it fair is if they make Dylan redo if he flails his arms 😂
Man I love Luans skateboarding as much as the next dude, but I still have gained mad respect for Cody here. Comes into this tournament as a Joe and just takes it all. Drops double flips left and right and has such a deep bag of tricks and doesnt choke at all in this final. I know he does not pop it as high as Luan (who does really lol), but its consistent and clean.
Watched this a few times over the years. The fact that Cody held court the whole match speaks volumes. But lets get real.. Cody wasn't no avg joe even back then. Dude has mad skills.
Holy 💩, remember when we’d all squeeze into an event like this?
No
@@jordandesmet6593 L
That was just life.
Okay zoomer
Don’t be a puss, you still can. The “experts” are jack asses
Luan’s style is SO much more fun to watch. That pop is insane and he is blazing fast
And people says Michael Jackson is KING of POP 😈
stolen
Lmao
Luan or Tiago, best pop is definitely from Brasil
Luan, Zion, and Nyjah are almost unparalleled in the new gen when it comes to pop.
This comment is on every Luan BATB video
Crazy; not only did he blank Luan, he didnt even give him a turn, in the Finals. Crazy! Guess Cepeda knew that if Luan had a turn it was probably over. Cepeda GOATed for this.
cody is mad underrated he’s such a good skater
Luan finishes his tricks on the way up. It looks so good
This is, in my opinion, the single greatest moment in all of sports history. To have a Pros vs Joes theme in itself was truly amazing, bringing all of these lesser known names to the surface, but Cody’s journey through this tournament on its own is the stuff of legends. Round 1 against Trent McClung, he finds himself at T before he even gets a chance to set the trick, but still finds a way to battle all the way back for the win. He goes on to take out Shane O’Neil and Tom Asta, two of the worlds most elite flat-ground skaters, and earns a spot in finals night.
First game against Sewa; doesn’t miss a trick. Flawless win.
Second game against Luan motherfucking Oliveira; Doesn’t. Miss. A. Trick. Absolutely flawless. This is a fairy tale. This isn’t supposed to happen in real life. Thank you Berrics for making this a reality
I love how Juan like clicks his feet out then in when he’s setting up his feet. Not to mention how beautiful his tricks are but even the setup is nice 💯
Every trick Luan does is so amazing to look at. Just his pop and his style. Always will be my fav skater of all time!!
I don't care who won this, luan absolutely stole my heart here with tge hight, style and speed of his tricks
The crowds response to everything : OOOHHHH
this was awesome btw
Luan pode ter perdido, mas ele manda as tricks com tanta beleza que chega a ser um espetáculo ver ele andando!
@Daniel Braz vannucci tipo isso msm klllkkkkk mas ele e apela, n erra uma!
@Daniel Braz vannucci Pior que é a true, Luan além de mandar com pop alto pra kct como de costume ele ainda vai no gás
Cepeda na minha opinião anda bem porém não e bonito de ver
What I love about this isn't just that the Joe won, or that luan demonstrates the pro level with his pop and steez, or that the sportsmanship and love is evident without ego/aggression, also that even tho Cody won without a letter you can't say he beat luan easy and the battle was boring. Luan threw down answers to hard tricks and showed he's a beast, but Cody just had the will of a legend in him that day.
Like I'm a huge Luan fan, but it was just so right to see Cody win for the Joe's in spectacular fashion
That dude pops with so much vigor and tenacity
Luan’s Moon gravity 🔥
Cody definitely one of the best flatground skaters, Luan definitely the king of pop and a super humble dude
Man bring back jonny giger
Jonny giger is luans older brother
@@Hrod24 that cap
@@Yourmom-re6il yeah hahaha he looks like he could be his older brother 🤣
@@Hrod24 ya he kinda does
May 23rd, 2021 and this is still the most amazing game of rock, paper, scissors that I have ever seen
I love to see some classics on my birthday 🍻🔥
Hbd G
Happy birthday! 👊
@@berrics Oh my god :D thank you so much! :)
@@prjktpplsz672 thank you man! :)
Happy birth day dawg and live on much more
Ya'll already know, bring back the Swiss flatground magician/technician
He stands no chance against a consistent skater... his tricks are hard so the probability of missing is bigger than P Rod or Luan landing like 10 basic tricks in a row... I'm talking straight science here...
Jonny giger again please
I made the rookie move of reading the description before watching. I was so ready to pull on my crank to some flippy poppys. They get my dorsal veins in my shaft all GORGED! God bless y’all!
Cody é muito controle , Luan tem um estilo explosivo , muito força e técnica , aqui no Brasil é um estilo clássico a cada 10 skatetista 8 tem esse estilo , parabéns Cody lenda
po mano falou mt a real agora
I never get bored of watching Luan pop those tricks that high at that speed. Blows my mind every time.
os caras gritando "errou hein, errooou" kkkkkkkkkk
Kkkkkkk ia comentar isso agr
Tem que por pra zicar mesmo!!
@@JorgeSorus pior que na época foi tão frustrante ver o Luan tomando um perfect assim :(
@@erickfelipe foi msm ;-;
It is unreal how clean these guys are
We gone need versace plug, Jonny Giger, Dylan Jaeb, and Jaime Griffin
Versace plug was in BATB. He landed like 2 tricks and the match was a minute long
Jonny giger has also already participated I think
@@Alex-lq1uf To be fair I think versace plug has gotten alot better, he was 17 at the time. Also yeah Johnny giger was super young too he has basically every trick in every stance on lock right now so I would love to see them both.
@@duncanstewart2439 Versace got smashed because he's really good at making tricks look good but he isn't the most consistent in his caliber of skaters
@@ReaperPLUR he used to skate competition back in Germany so I think he has to be pretty consistent but who knows maybe he got smoked bc it was a bad day or he was high lol
It was the atmosphere that made this game what is was, I come back every now and again to watch it. Always blows my mind.
1:01 "vai errar em, errou" só os br no fundo
KKKKKKKKKKK vdd
Das ist wahr
Cody Cepeda so calm and smooth the whole time. Luan applauded every trick.
Nollie backside double heel flip was clean the first time jeez
Still don’t get why it was a redo
@@nicklas500 just wanted to try to give luan a chance to do some of his tricks I guess... Berra was definitely leaning his way as he got further and further behind. Half his foot was dragging on the pressure heel but they counted it. You can even see him joking about it in the background before the next trick.
Everything has to be super steezy If not it don’t count
I get those goosebumps every time.
BATB 6: Moose Vs Ladd will always be the most epic battle
exactly what i thought of when I saw the title
@@Jake-dc8yx actually I think that the Pj vs P-rod was the best or Luan vs Sewa :)
Word!
definitely Moose
Fax 💯 best finals for me was batb6 prod vs pj 🔥
6:20 “I don’t know what they were talking about that was perfect” in the background 😂
Johnny Giger for sure
He likes to crack under pressure tho
Luan’s style is always so good to watch
Great battle, but in my opinion the greatest battle was Prod vs PJ ladd where prod lands that fakie 540 flip in his last try!
pj ladd vs shane oniell
pj ladd vs moose
@@josezugu fr PJ vs Moose has to be my favorite one ever just looking at the match itself. But PJ vs Prod had that finals crowd reaction. If PJ vs Moose would've been the final everyone would remember it as the best battle ever
luan vs Sewa
@Kر CoD every skater has their specialty, and in games of skate its a good thing if your specialty is an oddity
Luan be dropping all these crazy tricks clean as hell then falls off his board just standing at 5:49 😂😂❤❤
The crowd had full reason to be so hyped, what a show of skill
Bring
Back
Jonny
Giger
Ahhh yes jonny giger
For once, the title is not clickbait. Cody is a consistent beast!
O que fez o Luan perder foi o cara gritando que o Cody iria errar no começo, zikou!!! Kkkkkk
KSKSKSKKS
He always lands everything. So good! I was just skateboarding with him and tcmt
bom é os brasileiros na primeira trick do cody gritando “VAI ERRAR”, “ERROU” kkkkkkk
kkkk
Cody makes tricks look effortless while luan makes any trick he does look like he put everything hes got into it.
Luans pop! So high and sounds so good too.
It feels good to see so many people packed together again. I know that sounds bad but social distancing is depressing. Nice to see this for a change
Damn can’t believe this was 6 years ago! Good ass times
What an awesome moment for Cody. So cool.
damn, please bring jonny giger back!
they won't because no one would have a chance
@@BrothersofOG I don't know a lot about skateboarding, but I've been watching Giger's videos that were recommended to me cause I think it's interesting. Obviously he's good and a Professional, but is he like the best current skater or something?
@@dirtywindshield5034 Not necessarily but he probably has the widest range of flat ground tricks out of any professional skater worldwide, he could land tricks that not a single other person in the tournament could land
@@dirtywindshield5034 he aint the best at all. Just has a crazy bag of circus kinda tricks. Him and cody should play skate.
@@newmason5572 i mean if you see kickflip underflip as a circus trick
I was there and the crowd was wild! Great night.
The Berrics had to call Air traffic control to make sure the skies are clear before the game.
I love that they allowed some hardcore toe drag on luans pressure flip. Keep the game alive and the hype up and people loved it.
5:15 Koston actually put money on Luan
Que vibe top! Sou raiz do sk8 desde 1993 , e na minha opinião um dos esportes com maior união e positividade entre atletas .
They are both so steezy in their own ways
And people says Michael Jackson is KING of POP 😈
I was thinking the same thing throughout, they both landed nearly all the tricks, what some would say "perfectly" but completely different from each other. I love skateboarding :)
I love going through these and trying to name every trick
Everybody cool till Chris Chan pulls up w dragon flip
2 completely different styles is so cool to see like this
Bruh Luan was giving me anxiety with that speed and pop
Everytime Cody lands a trick Steve Berra is questioning it!! 😂😂😂😂
Steve, that nollie back double heel was perfect. No touch at all and he rolled away. I don't get it
Absolutely no toe drag. When you slow the video down it's super clear. I don't get it either.
And Luan had his back foot touch the ground on the pressure flip
That first double back heel was clean
5:33 shoulda been a redo. Common ref.
Defense hehe
@@MIKEK3NT what was tht trick called ?
@@ogscherm6745 Pressure heelflip
@@MIKEK3NT what's the difference between that and a regular flip?
@@ogscherm6745 all in the back foot the front foot doesn’t do anything
All the games he had pros vs joes were epic
No the most epic was Luan against Sewa AND Joslin, coming back both games and finally wins one after missing out for 2-3 years
Ya ya ya
After that halfcab double flip, I started realizing, this dude aint gotta stop anytime soon.
Pls invite Christoph Radtke from Germany, he's an absolute beast!
It’s so weird that I’ve completely forgotten everything about this battle considering how iconic this was.
Arrepia só de ver e ouvir até hoje 💥💥💥💥
5:35 one feet on the floor and no one says nothing 🗿🗿🗿
When you re upload older content, could you please add the names of the tricks like in newer BATB-videos? Would make life much easier for newbies like my self lol.
cmon man just keep skating
the quality looks so much better here, not choppy like the original
It said is the best so I wanna see the best 😎😎
Moose v PJ was the best BATB ever IMHO
It's all about self confidence and focus.amazing battle
I wanna see jonny giger clap everyone
I love how the mom is genuinely hyped for both skaters :)
Nowhere near the most epic, Luan didn't even get a chance to set
It was epic, cos he got skunked by a Joe outta nowhere.
@@rambam791 it was interesting, but I don't think it was nearly as epic as some of the other finals where both got good chances and defended well
Cody just did a pile of really hard tricks that are in his wheelhouse and Luan had no chance
@@ythandlerandom1278LK luan definitely had a chance. He can do all of those tricks. Cody can do all of luans flatground too. Wouldn't of mattered. Cody was on his A game that night.
@@Pnwrat - No he can't, and it wasn't as epic as many other games. This was not an epic game. It was an impressive game from Cody, and that's it.
Skateboard brotherhood runs deep. Im almost certain each and everyone of us is still in touch with someone we grew up skating with ✌
1:02 "errar heim,errou" 🇧🇷🇧🇷
We need a boys vs mens BATB - the under 20 super talented kids vs over 30 pro heavy weights.
thats basically the pro vs joes hahaha
How do you do this with COVID and also HOW THE FRICK DOES LUAN GO SO FRICKIN Fast
was a few years ago actually
