"Hold up PJ. Hold up PJ"
Still does his trick.
What a beast.
MrMezican What a douchebag
RYANRRAGE lol I would have done the same. The replays get annoying. Save that crap for later.
Don't forget the moment where PJ did a nollie big heel and a fakie big heel back to back
I don't get why the ref and the commentators are the same people. This is the reason why you separate them.
MrMezican and nyjah didn't want it counted cuz of that. Nyjah lame af for that one.
Referee "Nollie Tre flip Half Cab"
*Some kid from the crowd* "It's called a Big Flip!"
When is that
Riley Murphy 8:27
I can't hear the kids response.
But it was a Nollie Bigger Flip🤔
you can tell the refs don’t skate cuz you can’t do a nollie half cap tre flip, anything nollie trick done in fakie is just switch
I literally laugh my ass off every time the announcers tell them to quit skating so they can show a replay, what moron thought of that lol
I know right? Imagine them pulling this shit in the middle of a live basketball, football, baseball or any other game.
Steele Duke 5:54 Even PJ ignored them when they told him to stop.
I remember this Yeah Nyjah looks pissed when they told him to stop
Before the nollie front foot flip than he missed it.. haha rightfully so tho.. was a shitty set up
It was live. They had to
What's with the random crowd of people who look like they have no idea what's going on.. they should invite skaters or something people who actually want to watch
If they didn't want to watch why would they be there?
Something people love to watch something but are so hard to find. Do you want them to send you plane ticket with the invite? Just to make sure only people who can at least ride down there driveway are in the crowd.
Where's the Braille Army?
I hear u but naw man that makes little sense. Part of the allure & excitement is watching ppl do things u have NEVER seen or couldn’t do yourself. I live near Venice Beach & watching those guys skate at that skate park is exciting af even if I couldn’t tell u the name on one trick (draws a HUGE crowd every time)
Skateboarders can't afford espn events
i hate hating but the ref and the crowd suck, calling the wrong trick and having him do it twice and then not giving him a redo when he doesnt pivot the whole way. Plus the crowd is full of non-skaters that gave no hype
I completely agree with you. I'm only watching this because PJ's skating is such a rare commodity.
TyeIV TyeIV 1. That crowd is there because they wanted to be there.
2. How do you know they don't skate? Because they don't have a board in their hand?
3. You clearly don't know the rules to offensive tricks as it relates to pivots and toe drags. I suggest watching battle at the berrics. They read out the rules every game, and this comp follows those same rules.
1. I cant say anything about if the crowd wants to be there or not, but they sure are quiet.
2. though we don't know for sure, they are calling out the wrong trick names so it can be safely assumed that their interest in skateboarding is less than those who know the correct trick names.
3. in battle at the berrics, it clearly states in the rules that everything will be ultimately decided by the referee. Some refs let the sketch slide, others like their games cleaner than your teeth after a trip to teh dentist.
I'm from Connecticut also and there's plenty of real skate fans here trust me. I have no clue what was with this crowd! Must have been friends and family of ESPN employees.
Ikr
somehow x games manages to make a sick game of skate lame af
bryan boytano this isn’t X Games
@@yamac488 It's X games
@@blakez2691 the channel, yeah.
This is espn
It’s cause they’re so good
I was just wondering to myself if these guys were even enjoying themselves or are they just being prostituted to the crowd... Then i looked at the comments...
"Nyjah, Nyjah, hold on hold on"
" PJ, PJ, hold on hold on!"
😑 Shat tha fak up! lol
RIGHT?
+Johnathan Cruickshank you forget that they have make xgames a show for everyone to enjoy... not everyone watching are skateboarders so replays allow the new comers to enjoy the game of skate as well that cant see the trick as fast as most of us.
everyone can see that. yet there's more to skateboarding. this whole event is as far away from a relaxed session as can be, so it's in a skater's blood to not give a shit about that crap and have some fun, while xgames has them parade around like a bunch of circus elephants.
true... but hey at the end of the day it becomes a job and not just your normal "relaxed session" as they skating to represent themselves (become more famous) more fame means more money and also repping their sponsors. Also i guess xgames whether they like it or not xgames ganna do what they want to make them money their own way.
So?
7:35 this dude trying to catch the board😂
1:00 is nobody gonna talk about how clean that 360 flip was
Perfect
Nope
The trick callouts from the announcer just made me sad man... calls 540 shuv on a bigger spin
+WindyHeights oh yea i think exactly the same.
yeah the wrong callouts and him asking for them to stop every few tricks.. just let them fucking skate and if replays are that needed just add a delay to the video feed for the people not there
1. The replays are for the people at the event as much as they are for us.
2. It's not his fault dipshit, he gets told when to pause the game.
😂😂
little things makes u sad then
Thx for this nice asmr video... I felt asleep in like 2 min.. Woke up very refreshed.
I like how all the posers cheer for nyjah but they don't know pj ladd is a beast
lord myron i like how this douche makes presumptions about large groups of people. fucking tosser.
Daniel Benson i think its a safe bet that nyjah fan base includes more posers than p.j's
ur needlessly aggressive
I think that the only reason why nyjah has a big fan base is because of energy drinks I bet nobody except maybe a couple people have even seen pjs's famous part (if u don't know what I'm talking about then just leave the skate community!!!)
lord myron
anyone at xgames is a beast, even the guy that comes in last place.
BlackSn0wz
u tried and u failed. congrats
I remember as a kid pj Ladd repping flip skateboards
that spoiler from the "next video" in the right
lmao yeah 😂😂
ikr
fckin spoiler and u also spoiled me hahah
that pissed me off.
How have I never seen a professional game of skate before this is pure entertainment
'cause there's nothing professional about it
nyjah tre flip is so effortless, so relaxed, its like he freezes in the air while the board spins, amazing.
jake hoyt it's not that hard to get used to tre flips. once you know the sweet spot for your back foot you're pretty much an expert at them
its Crimmy Still does it the best
Ikr and Pjs style is so flawless
Half way through watching this semi: pop up link to finals with who won the semi... thanks for letting me know the result before finishing this 🤦🏽♂️
Half way through this video and decide to scroll through comments....thanks for ruining it😣
It’s insane how relaxed PJ skates
This is stupid. The ref doesn't even know the name to some of these tricks and quit telling them to wait for slo mos like ur distracting them just let the game run smoothly without any interruptions
Halfcab big heel? Do these announcers even skate lol? Its called a fakie big heel, this contest is a shame to skateboarding...
Yeah i know i thought the exact same thing
Fakie big spin inward heel ?
Oh yeah and nollie half cab tre flip. Wtf.
Fakie 540 shuv it
Half cab 540 flip?
the way PJ just gently glides before he does a trick is so satisfying
This is so far away from what skating is; it's unbelievable.
I want to kill myself watching this
Skateboarding looks so easy yet i can only ollie (barely)
+v1Buss Maybe now after 8 minths you know how to do ollie...Or Nollie😂😂😂
Briana Clash I gave up hahahah my bad
+v1Buzz you gave up after only learning how to Ollie? what a coward.
8 months wtf? It took me all together about 2 weeks to learn how to ollie good. If you watch your feet every single time, and pay full attention to every move you make, you can probably learn faster than I did.
took me 2 hours to ollie and 2 hours to kick flip and 5 hours to 360 flip. After 1 year of skateboarding i was already sponsor by a boardshop.
PJ is such a chill stoked little romper can't belive his trick flip.
Wow these guys are amazing. Never ran out of flip tricks 😂
The sportmanship is just amazing
kujalite thats how skateboarding is. its all about coming together and having a good time. it doesnt matter who you are or where you're from. if you skate we instantly connect. it's not about who's better it's about having a good time with the homies.
batb is 10xmore intresting to watch
Luan>>>>
All about the dusty warehouse charm. Not a polished platform in a business park.
Yea but there’s no money and no prize money
Stfu
What great sports. They showed all those kids how to compete. World class for sure.
"Good defense"
Smack me if I ever say thia during a game of skate.
That game was dope
Definitely two bad ass skaters going head to head LEGENDS👍👍
Being from MA and watching PJLWHL to get hyped to go out and skate was a must!!
did he call that fakie/nollie bigger spin a fakie/nollie 540 shuvit? :O
Fakie. Yes ikr the commentators are so dumb
well they call nowadays boy a girl and girl a boy
PJ is a street legend, Nyjan and the media champion
Hold on! Wait! Wait! Hold on! I gotta get this replay!
so great, aint it? Notin beats a slowmo
Крутой формат! Всем прогресса. Спасибо
If PJ says heads, then the coin will listen.
Rodney Mullen would be unbeatable at skate lmao.
jang jo mullen and tony did all there is to do on a skateboard... there is nothing left... melenials don’t have a big enough nutsack to pull off bigger tricks.
*daewon emerges from the shadows* unbeatable?
Stvn Bl you obviously don’t know what your talking about
Stvn Bl check out Johnny Giger on UA-cam, he pulls off some insane tricks including recreating Rodney’s most notorious tricks as well as coming up with some unique tricks. Chris chan is also a very good skater and known for coming up with the “dragon flip’. Give the newer generation some credit
@@1000stevenbl Millenials
Sheesus I quit skating for 4 years and come back to this WTF this is INSANE
They don't even know the trick names!! Fakie 540 shuv?? It's fakie bigger spin
And nyjah should get redo for fakie bigger spin
Thomas Ham Fuck nyjah i came here to see pj Desrtory nyjah
Thomas Ham fuck u nyjahs better than your trash
nyjah is like another tony hawk everyone thinks he is good
skateboarder plot twist: nyjahs actually good
2019?🙋
That was a huge heeldrag from Nyjah though.... that slow mo wasn't lying. I'd liked to have seen a redo there.
Nollie half cab, full cab? Gtfo X-Games, you're drunk.
Full cab is a trick...
Corndog Skateboards
No, there's no such thing. It's like saying ollie kickflip or ollie 360 flip nowadays.
***** yea full cab is a trick or cab is a trick..
noknights123
Dumb fucks, how many times do people have to remind that there is no such thing as "full cab; fakie cab, nollie cab" etc. Whether "cab" or "Cabaerial" and that's it, nothing else.
it doesnt matter at all haha. We live in different places and have different terminology of tricks. There is no wrong or right way to name a trick. Stop making a big deal out of everything.
Dope af now they should do a game of skate with a rail that would be rad bro
PJ skates so effortlessly. It's like he just rolls out of bed and starts popping tricks off.
PL
LP
Stlg
Stlg de los que no me acuerde. el problema
off
Good sportsmanship between the two. Fun to watch and I haven't even skated in 10 years
why cant they just let them play a game of skate without the cringy announcing ?! god its so bad :(
Tony two toes because they hosted the contest? Tf
Because unlike a normal game of skate this one goes towards 10k. Fuckn idiot
You would be much better i assume, not..
Please bring this back
that ref is so psyched to be standing next to the pros you can see how gigly he gets. nighas a fan lol
The skill level is insane! Especially switch and nollie gosh damn man these guys are hella good.
such a shame.. It 's like someone saw BATB and decided to remove everything fun and exciting about it and attempt to sell it to a wider audience.. "Hey guys, don't do anything, let's get a replay for viewers who aren't and don't pay much attention" lol
lol you say that as if the berrics created the game of skate
but I do agree stopping them from skating just to slo mo it is kinda dumb
So gnarly. best game of skate ive seen.
i really like it when they show nyjah on offense when pj lands the defense in reply but when pj is on offense they only show nyjah. i think they need more nyjah! nyjah!nyjah!nyjah! thats what i always never say
lol thats what you always never do? wow.
Smiles all around no matter what, love the sportsmanship
An announcer that can call out the correct tricks, not tell you to hold on a second after every trick, or no announcer at all, or a crowd of actual skaters would be tight
Pj has such a mellow style. I love it!
I was going for Nyjah the whole time what a beast
"Hold on PJ, Hold on PJ!!" PJ like, I'm in the zone so, eat me.
AND FOR GOD SAKES DONT TELL A SKATER NOT TO SKATE!!!!!!!!!!! it's a game of skate and the stopping will ruin the skaters! I want the most from my skate games! that's why PJ was like SCREW THIS and went anyway. He is trying to do a trick he is focused. Break the focus and the trick is messed up.
Alan Anonamous in my opinion this is why Battle at the Berrics will always be way more fun to watch
I was searching for this comment haha broooo
Never realized there were so many ways to flip a board.
They needed Eric Koston to come in and shout "do a kickflip"
That was a sick game of skate.
Poser lol
Two of the best, great game
Anybody else remember Hulk being gas in that building behind them? 😂😂😂
In the middle of the game appeared the suggested video: PJ Ladd vs Mike Mo in the Finals... damn...
so stupid,i stoped watching there, and started scroling thru the comments
PJ skates for the culture, Nyjah skates for the fame.
They both skate cuz they love it period. And cuz skateboarding is sick af
People like you ruin the skateboarding community always judging just let them skate for whatever they want!!
Another person claiming telepathic abilities.
PJJJJJJ. Been killing it since the first flip sorry video! SILENCE IS GOLDEN.
He's wearing New Balances lol
Taylor Jones So There is new balance skateshoes
skateboarder yeah I think that's funny lol
Taylor Jones what's wrong with New Balance?...like they aren't on the comeup
ManiacalAge Just cause they are the substitute teacher shoe of the past 40 years lol, I'm not making fun of him, I just didn't know they made skate shoes and it's funny
Well people thought the same when Nike started making skate shoes and now look at how many people wear them and think of Nike as a skate shoe brand.
I always love watching pros play a game of 'Nyjah, Hold On'
At 5:50 their like fakie 540 shuv it, first these refs prolly don't skate and second evidently if u do a fakie bigspin with an extra shuv, aka fake 360 pop shuv it and half cab its fakie 540 bigspin not a 540 shuv it.
or fakie biggerspin
Yeah, I guess.
the ref (jason rothmeyer) was a pro in the nineties, some tricks names were a bit different, for example there was no biggerspin, however he spelt wrong some tricks as the fs nollie heel that he called an halfcab (??) nollie heel
I think the ref knows more than you
Its fakie biggerspin
These dudes are so damn talented.
" Nyjah! Hold on... " every 2 tricks
Beantown bey, pj was my local hero back at the Coliseum shop in melrose
If you say hold on one more time...
Época que o nyjah era humilde, sempre comprimentando
wtf!!? 'halfcab flip.... halfcab flip good'!? this is probably the worst commentary i have ever heard!
not to mention shouting at the skaters to 'hold-on, we got a slow-mo'!!???? whilst they are setting up to do a trick!!?? this is terrible
Nice... !! Love X Games.
I swear there fucking up skateboarding with this bullshit.
iGenesis Hd
How so?
Segvh HD talkin bout the x games right?
You all remember the és games of skate from the early 2000's when the crowd was full of sweaty skaters up to the contenders ballsack, where the contest was so loud everybody's vx footage was clipping, and the crowds oohs, and oh's would ebb back and forth with the quick rhymtic progression of the game? Where you didn't get two tries on the last trick, were bound to get a shinner if someone slipped out, and where you could hoist your favorite pros up when they fell off the sidelines because they were the people you admired, not corporate brand ambassadors. Not even the berrics, as good as their coverage is, can capture that feeling. it used to be a real underground fight club.
I think pj is beast
What's the music at 0:50 i can't stop singing that song!
it sounds cute
Why do pro skaters never do impossibles anymore?
They do.
is there a version of this grinding rails? that would be sick!
Apparently, the ref was pro in the 90's. That's like saying you're a professional bowler. Even professional bowlers know that it's ridiculous. Still they cling to that Brunswick contract. Sad..
Tim O'Connor was actually a pretty well respected pro on Habitat for a long time. He's always been known in the skate community for his quick wit and funny personality, so it's odd that you would hate on a person like that.
Amazing skills, props to both!
what kind of shoes is PJ wearing?
never mind
new balance
Nostalgic.
s/o for playing Flight Facilities - Stand Still feat. Micky Green (Wave Racer Remix)
Commenters are so annoying like "hold on,hold on Nyjah hold on" like shut up and let them do their their tricks.
Skate 4 where ya at
It all looks the same to me. board flips around and the land on it
That's cuz you dont skate
I bet you cant even stand on it 😅
I just mute the audio and enjoy them skating. The tricks are so clean. :)
"nollie halfcab treflip" ARE YOU SERIOUS WITH THAT ONE? 8:25
Nollie 540 big flip
i love watching these--- just not on the queef networks... what ind of royalties you think koston and berra gets for these?
2:53 music ?
i think its all trap musik
thanks
Antony Douglas dum dee dum
No. 2:53 is Nyjah Huston.
I'm late, but straight out the gate did he call Nyjah Mike Mo when he pointed at him???
Rodney Mullen would kill anybody in this competition
Adrián Alegría cause primo hurt like shit
Adrián Alegría you’re a moron
Rodney Mullen would lose immediately lol tf are you talking about? There are rules to SKATE
Damn straight.
Front foot impossible. Casper 360 flip.
Contest over.
Not true
I wish there was something like this for snowboarding too
The referee has no fucking clue what hes talking about
6:11 how did the ref let that one go through without a redo?
This is ruining skateboarding.
Yeah except the fact that everyone is still doing what they have always done so no it's not. It might add something useless but it isn't ruining skateboarding. Quit being so dramatic.
