Yeah. That’s legitimately a different trick. I’d call it a kickflip Late body varial. It’s ok they counted them as equivalent, but they’re two observably different things. For that matter: As body varials are the opposite of shuvs, ...and late shuvs are categorically different from shuvs, ...then Late body varials in general are categorically different from body varials (and a fairly unexplored category of trick I bet we’ll eventually see some deeper exploration of)
@@frozennorth3426 technically alex did a kickflip body varial and jamie did a kicklip sex change..a sex change is when the body rotates opposite of the flick or scoop, body varial is just any body rotation from a board at any position...like you can ollie body varial but it would be a late body varial...that trick is just a body varial...
In my eyes Alex landing the Double Dolphin Flip on defence really stunned Jamie causing him to lose abit of his flow. Really good performance from both of them, it could of gone either way 👍
I mean Alex finished with a bunch of tricks he knew Jamie couldn’t do, that’s the thing about games with people who have such specialized trick selection. If Jamie would have just done front foot impossible variations or grape flip type tricks, he would have won.
@@johnnyraven8178 yeah exactly, I think they both strategically timed their 'advanced' tricks because once one brought the heat the other would match it with their own specialised trick as soon as they bailed a set.
Honestly it blows my mind that dude is pro. The majority of the tricks he’s done have been flipping on the ground. He does flatground tricks like you’d expect from a 12-year-old
Wow!! That was a great game. I honestly thought Jamie, was gonna win but Alex killed it. That Half Cab Cancel flip was insane. I can’t wait for the Jamie and Giger game of Skate, I’m sure he was taken notes.
yeah a lot of people do them that way... hardflips too.. Seems that the popular opinion is that one cares how you made it flip that way as long as it flips correctly. I think this should matter in a game of skate for sure but again, popular opinion wins. Elis Frost does his tres with his back foot only, almost like an underflip.. they are still considered tre flips.
@@noobg6908 i can do both, and this is definitely an inward heel. No one will do a pressure flip with the front foot on "heel flip side". Pressure flip is done using only your back foot so your front foot needs to get out of the way.
@@SanderVandeWiel i know the difference between a inward heel and a pressure flip,but i also know when someone is cheating a inward,in order to do a inward heel your heel needs to flick in the nose,if you are flicking down theres no way you can manipulate your board with your front foot wich means all the rotation is being made by the back foot wich means its a pressure flip,if you see the video in slow motion you will see that his front foot doesnt manipulate the board in any way so thats a pressure,anyway this game is not that competitive so thats fine
Ngl those two playing each other is always so sick because they know they can go ham on each other. I've said Jame could win the Berrics, so could Alex. Jamie and Alex should just play skate until Jamie flies over and learn all Alex's unique tricks in the meantime. Unbeatable. Sick lads. Been looking forward to this video
That was an amazing game!!! It was a true pleasure to see Jamie out there playing someone a game of skate finally! I could watch those 540 big spins all day! Alex killed it too obviously! Not just 1, but 2 dudes landing a double dolphin in a game of skate!!! 🙌 huge fan of both of these guys!
I think Alex’s trick was technically an anti big inward heel. We know it’s an anti spin because the board does a 180 and the body does a 360 in the same direction. And the heel is technically inward because it flips in the same direction as the spin. Pretty nuts. Especially first try wtf
i am thinking more than the tricks was a lotti spin (as you described) with a heelflip aka Cole Flip because C.Cole did it on the stairs in "Palais de Tokyo" in Paris, maybe in the zero new blood, i am not sure of the video
alex’s first set was NOT a switch 360 that does not count, im only giving him shit because jamie was just doing the trick how alex did it, and i know jamie could switch front 3 properly any day
That was some susasf refereeing, one guy called to redo a 90° spin twice on defence, but the other gets away with 540 shuv instead of 540 pop shuv... Other than the refereeing, it was a good game of skate to watch 👍
Great game! Alex was clutch on some wild tricks and a few that are more in Jamie's wheelhouse. The half-cab heel 360 body varial was sick, too; I remember Cory Kennedy doing one nollie in a previous BATB.
Im pretty sure Jamie let Alex win, Griffin wasnt even trying When alex had one letter left Jamie couldve done any kind of merlin twist to finish him and he didnt
Really really want to start again struggling at the moment just had my carp tacke nicked soon as I can afford a hope king board I'm going to ride nothing else I've got to get one desperately
@@Nikoa285 honestly. I suppprt the pros partaking in the competition, not the people who "run" the competition. Even Koston has becoming Berra level cringe. The Berrics used to be raw skating, now it is just run lf the mill mainstream clickbait.
I love Jamie and Alex is sick to but I really like Jamies skating skill in other vids but sad to say he seems like he's lost it somewhat I notice he smokes cigarettes, Ellis Frost is another sick brit skata
Just checkin' in on the future BATB champ losing to his team-mate. This battle was really who got the advantage of leading, and doing a trick they KNEW the other wasn't consistent with. Dirty.
Alex’s kick flip body variable. He caught it then switched. Amazing.
Was about to say the same thing !insane
I stopped watching to look for this comment

You could also tell Jamie was really fatigued. It was a long game!

come ON man, an L is an L
I don't think that sliding 540 shove should have counted.
it was defense... the refs where earlier to strict tho.
But if your opponent popped his trick you have to pop your trick...that's berrics rules nevermind lol
@@davea6589 True, didn't consider that.
I wouldn't have counted Griffin's kickflip body varial either
Honestly it blows my mind that dude is pro. The majority of the tricks he’s done have been flipping on the ground. He does flatground tricks like you’d expect from a 12-year-old
had to bring out the dirty ones to stand a chance🤣
dirty dirty
Yeah really dirty bro
Insane body varials 👌 on that kickflip "catch" body varial...you floated that🔥
To be fair, Jamie pulled a fuckin pressure flip lmao
@@thisispatrik9242 and Alex with the 540 shuv no pop, I don't think that should have counted cuz jamie pop the trick
More like kickflip late body varial wtf?! That was sick!
exactly! They didn't do the same trick!
6:18 dude caught that kickflip regularly, then proceeded to switch stances before hitting the ground... that should be a trick in itself
i guess it would just be a late sex change
kickflip late body varial
Wow!! That was a great game. I honestly thought Jamie, was gonna win but Alex killed it. That Half Cab Cancel flip was insane. I can’t wait for the Jamie and Giger game of Skate, I’m sure he was taken notes.
Giger surely taking notes
@Frank Bonazza III was rooting for him too. Now gotta route for Jamie to win the whole thing
The inward heelflip by Decunha at 8:10 looks more like a pressure flip than a heelflip
yeah a lot of people do them that way... hardflips too.. Seems that the popular opinion is that one cares how you made it flip that way as long as it flips correctly. I think this should matter in a game of skate for sure but again, popular opinion wins.

Not pressure but a Daewon Song inward heel (downward mob heelflip) slow motion it on youtube at 0.25 speed & you will see.

100%
this comment aged well
Alex really surprises me . He got sick style and tricks
Have you never seen him skate before??
Did you find his pop?
He is a contest skater tho!
We’re experiencing a new era of flatground skating
Reminder on! Not missing this.
These two are the future of UK skating.
Uhh oohh
Wat a bout tom knox? 🥺
Waited soooo Long for this game 🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
u heard of kyle wilson?
The future bro not the past:/present
@@adamdavis3654 nope
Refs being rough on Jaime because some footing, but Alex doesn’t pop the 540 shuv it and that’s okay???😐😐😐
he had some massive toe drags but I agree that the refs were unforgiving there since Jamie was on defence on those
that 540 shuv was lame as a mf!!!! 100
Jealous reffs..
Refs were terrible 🤢
What a game, well in Decunha!
I'd love to see some of these tricks in slow motion. I hadn't even heard of a cancel flip before
The judge really say: "winner Alex Decunha caralho porra" 12:55
That was an amazing game!!! It was a true pleasure to see Jamie out there playing someone a game of skate finally! I could watch those 540 big spins all day! Alex killed it too obviously! Not just 1, but 2 dudes landing a double dolphin in a game of skate!!! 🙌 huge fan of both of these guys!
When Hopking started this "Clash of Kings" competition I never would've guessed the final would be between Jamie & Alex...
Surely these 2 have to both be at BATB?! 🧐
Hop King should take over BATB
Maybe in 5 years when they finish the current one 😂
Jamie should still be in it.... I know they did some changes.... don't think they changed Jamie and Jonnys game.....
@@rijpmajohan seriously? 😂
HKoMatB: Hop King of MACBA at the Berrics
Great game ! Sick tricks AND then hearing how late it already was / imagining they skated all day before … what a performance/ commitment guys 🤟👍
Honestly one of the best game of skate I have ever seen.
Thank you for a great game! Half Cab cancel flip !?!?! And it was near perfect!
Jamie’s Gonna get crowned at the Berrics
what a game of skate, great video as always, much love and lets go skate porra!
Both absolute monsters. Both have unique street styles as well which is great to watch
Way better than BATB! Y'all killed it!!!
I think Alex’s trick was technically an anti big inward heel.

Congrats to both. Really nice to see Alex step it up, his defense was way more focused than some other times and his specials work every time.
This was the best freakin game of skate i have ever seen ....! Good stuff, stay blessed!
From Texas,first time watching and it was insane!
It's not even a rematch anymore. They're just the usual finalists.
Alex did kickflip late body varial but Jamie did kf body varial
alex’s first set was NOT a switch 360 that does not count, im only giving him shit because jamie was just doing the trick how alex did it, and i know jamie could switch front 3 properly any day
and i have gripes for jamie for not matching alex’s kickflip late fs body varial
but another thing for alex not popping the 540 shuv that jamie popped
Wow hopking team delivers the good again! Jamie and Alex are both amazing skaters!
alex and his stupid sick dirty tricks XD i want they both on BATB
both winners in our hearts
3:16 naming this 'FULL CAB' is so wrong. its JUST A CAB FFS!
Yes!! Spread the message!!
Called it! Now Decunha for the win!
What and where is that skatepark?
That was some susasf refereeing, one guy called to redo a 90° spin twice on defence, but the other gets away with 540 shuv instead of 540 pop shuv...
Other than the refereeing, it was a good game of skate to watch 👍
Alex asked if he had to pop it before, they said no.
@@ravenousbane3617 that's doesn't make it any less sus. They should of said no lol.
Great game! Alex was clutch on some wild tricks and a few that are more in Jamie's wheelhouse. The half-cab heel 360 body varial was sick, too; I remember Cory Kennedy doing one nollie in a previous BATB.
Wow what a game 🔥🔥🔥👏👏
10:15 the fakie half cab heelflip 360 body varial is my favorite 👍
That fakie halfcab heel bod varial, gawd damn beautiful.
is Jamie still gonna compete in batb?
Im pretty sure Jamie let Alex win, Griffin wasnt even trying
When alex had one letter left Jamie couldve done any kind of merlin twist to finish him and he didnt
bro that 180 heel 360 body varial was so sick. 🔥
if you're gonna call the redoo on an offensive trick for not being clean you gotta make that call everytime
Great match, two amazing flat ground skaters
the fuck was that 540 shuv allowed , stoped watching after that...
Yes lads! That was a sick game 🔥
Battle At The Berrics tournament contest of a premiere?
English of words in a proper order.
@@rodneystewart9542 What do you mean?
do or do not there is no try
@@rakor8914 I am confusing right now!
@@ryanrowe1975 you were confused to begin with lol
Brilliant guys!
No me lo esperaba, alex es una bestia!!! Ojalá Jamie gané los theberrics de este año! Saludos desde Chile☄💥🔥🔥🔥
Stupid making Jamie do that nollie gazelle spin 3 times. Wtf are these refs smoking? It's defense lmao
The winner in jamie. Alex didnt pop the 540 shove it at all. Guess they dont play by the rules here
Hope to see alex at batb one day
4real. Him and Spencer again
Man, you killed it, unbelievable performance!
This already a classic! 🔥🔥🔥
Wayyy better match than BATB final hahaha ! More tricks, more tension, more fun !
One of the best game of sk8 ive seen
Wasn't that a kick flip late body varial?
Insane battle!! congratz to Alex! sidenote: any news on when we get Ellis back? xD
Where is he? He kinda vanished from UA-cam...
@@officialjohnforce he's in been in Bali for the last 3 months
This is waaay better than any BATB lately wtf have I been watching lol
Where is ellis?
In Bali
Jamie got robbed with the defensive redo on the nollie gazelle spins
8:30 That Dolphin Double Flip!!! 🐬
need more cuts bwtween the tries (both offense and defense)
I think it is time for a rematch guys !!
Need to be a lil tighter on the rules. Alex didn't even pop on a couple
Really really want to start again struggling at the moment just had my carp tacke nicked soon as I can afford a hope king board I'm going to ride nothing else I've got to get one desperately
These are honestly two of my favourites and it was an insane battle, but where is ellis frost in this competition?
No doing tricks that slide on the ground if your opponent popped their trick
alex got the less fairplay trick selection ever for a game of skate, still gg
Isn't that a Fakie FS Bigspin Heelflip at 4:55?
People call it fakie big heel,if it actually was spinning backside people would call it a fakie big inward
Noa Yes.
@@noobg6908 'Fakie big heel' is an abbreviation. And if it was backside it would be Fakie Backside Bigspin Heelflip.
this is the kinda game that the berrics needs for anyone to still be invested in batb
Batb is so beat and Berra is beyond cringe
@@user-yu1nm9mp9p couldn't agree more. still i stay watching batb in hopes of good games but the rest of the content lately is super cringe yup
@@Nikoa285 honestly. I suppprt the pros partaking in the competition, not the people who "run" the competition. Even Koston has becoming Berra level cringe. The Berrics used to be raw skating, now it is just run lf the mill mainstream clickbait.
legendary clash!
No helicopter spin looking tricks?
Great game guys! All the best Jamie at batb rooting for ya
Jonny should watch this for thier battle at the berrics match hahaha 🤗🤫
What a great game and what a fighting spirit !
Jamie's so good that he lost by landing a trick.
yeah they absolutely should've counted that. its a ridiculously hard trick and his land was comfortably within the defensive margin of error.
damn, some of those tricks i didn't even know they excist! sick battle!
Decunha just sorts of pressureflips his board instead of flicking it on some of these tricks
and then ironically goes on to take a letter on the pressure flip
At it for 15 mins?? that felt like three hours, I'm wrecked watching it 😋🫒
Representou mano 😎 muito foda Alex 🇧🇷🇵🇹
4:33 hahaha jamie is class, that was sick
"Wow! That's sweet how you pop your tricks bro. I'm just going to shove that shit and call it good!"
Judges 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Did Jamie stop the kickflip first before he sexchange? take a look on it :O
That 540 def maybe cheeky. But Alex done some great defs tho. And a perfect finisher.
I knew this was gunna be good! But WOW! what a game! 👏👏👏👏👏
Outside of the last letter, re-dos on tricks for sketchiness, offensively or defensively, are lame. You either stick it or you don't.
These refs are different.
I love Jamie and Alex is sick to but I really like Jamies skating skill in other vids but sad to say he seems like he's lost it somewhat I notice he smokes cigarettes, Ellis Frost is another sick brit skata
What a game!!!
