yeah was wondering why i was watching this during a bout of insomnia last night...and then immediately thought "i'm coming back to this in the morning to see what the comments are"
this is so awkward in so many ways lmao. he has like 2 dozen people there cheering loudly for him, has his girlfriend read the rules, alll this hub bub ... gets absolutely smoked in 8 tricks.
i just realised there is no Spencer Barton in this BATB. does someone know why? he did so well in BATB12, he almost beat Jamie Griffin and did some REALLY unusual tricks, even for Jamie
here’s the comment i was looking for. i feel like thats a dirty game to do variations on a trick you know your opponent cant do sw heel nollie heel nollie bs heel nollie inward heel like bro

He can do those tricks he's just not as consistent with them. I guarantee you if you gave him an afternoon, he'll land all those tricks. That's what competition skateboarding is so much harder not only are you playing for higher prizes, but your consistency needs to be on point.
Not inviting Spencer Barton after the 2 games of this weekend turns out to be just as poor a decision in hindsight as it seemed in foresight. Unless of course he declined the invitation.
@@SanderVandeWielthe reason why he's acting that way is because he's being a good sport... He knows he's going to get his ass handed to him since he can't skate switch very well
Go watch him get skunked in the es game of skate. Even the tricks he lands he tick tacks out of. His flat ground game is weak and there is no actual video evidence of him doing well at flat ground outside of fundamental tricks like 180 flips or his unique circus tricks.
I love how serious batb fans can get and analyse everything to the point of starting wars in the comments over what's acceptable and what not, and then there are batb contestants who just walk in and be like hey wouldn't it be funny if I completely mess this game up. 😂 Edit: it's getting even better with all the serious replies trying to start a fight lol
He just doesn't skate conventional style and I can understand that.Just not his bag but still sick how Nick held a tremendous amount of respect for him
So like, I love Andy, but I don't even understand why they invited him to BATB. He really doesn't skate much flat other than freestyle, is all about hitting weird obstacles in unique ways, and keeping the flow going no matter what.
I think he is very capable of doing everything but deep down doesnt believe in competition in skateboarding but still wants to be a part of it in some way so self sabotages it in a fun non direct way.
Andy rips & this is a perfect example of how a unique bag of tricks doesn't work well in batb if you aren't on offense. stoked to see Holt making it further this time!
The moment Andy lose rock scissor paper, I knew it why the video duration around 4 minute. Anyways, congrats to Nick, and to Andy, you have nothing to lose, it's part of the game. Cheers🙏

I CANT BELIEVE ANDY LOST LIKE THAT. Maybe he should have worn a few more watches, or perhaps design and release 3 more skateboards. That probably would have helped.
yeah he's got a lot of other stuff going on thats why he needs to wear 3 watches. Sure his company never released helmets, and just sells some basic shirts and bags.

Would be nice if you got to "T" whithout ever having had a chance at offence, it would switch to your turn, even if you missed the trick.
If you can't land super simple tricks, you don't get a chance to to win. Not complicated....
For pros it should be HORSE for this reason. Setter regularly ends up with a big advantage.
