[@MudWaterpark]

Kinda knew the outcome but cmon. Can't go wrong with watching Eric koston

[@danielpooser]

Hes a joy

[@aaronbrock8055]

I love koston.. Hes such a goofy skater

[@Overlord6196]

Watching him attempt switchflips will always be entertaining.

[@thisismusic5105]

I love PJ. He's such a regular skater

[@MunkyCh33ze]

heheheh

[@hardboiledpickle4207]

@Ilyke Bigbutz I sort of get what your saying, but he doesn’t take skateboarding too seriously, he’s just having fun and goofing around

[@S4V3GU1D3]

That’s flavor !

[@grandchawhee5445]

they really need to make some kind of rule dealing with "impossibles" Pjs was really just a 360 shuv

[@Biondo30Hz]

I agree. Something like "no impossibles, because nobody can land a proper one".

[@vecchioutente]

And Kostons "Fakie Impossible" was Fakie 360 shuvit

[@ythandlerandom1278LK]

This aged well! They did it for BATB 12 finally

[@snowyrox3331]

@@ythandlerandom1278LK no it aged terribly, the refs still don't enforce that rule LOL

[@armstrong.r]

This was a sick game! I didn't realize how accurate PJ was.

[@karmixo]

clicked it expecting brutality by pj but was surprised -- mad respect for Koston for defending against PJ Ladd so well and making it a good game - looks like Koston been putting in some work and it shows he is still a boss.

[@Scootworth]

Without relying on his secret weapon...pressure. Haha people gotta realize Koston deals with all the "normal" flip tricks without relying on og moves. Mad respect, though I do want him to use his pressure flips sometimes lol

[@trentonfrays1178]

Somebody had to beat Frosty before he brought out all the pressure flip tricks. LOL.

[@trojanthegreat]

Lol, I think he only does them when people start doing dem nasty hardflip variations 😂

[@trentonfrays1178]

True that. Hard flip variations are ridiculous other that the hard flip bs 180.

[@OfficialAdamWest]

Nothing like legends battling it out!

[@keiffactory]

BULL SHIT PJ DID A 3 SHUV NOT AN IMPOSSIBLE

[@saratonein6851]

Thrash n sesh Seems like every time I see Pj in Batb he's always getting away with little shit like toe drags, kind of gets old...

[@alexjohnson1001]

You could agree otherwise...besides PJ would've had him anyway

[@keiffactory]

yeah im not going to lie, Pj had erik in the palm of his hands

[@kunntakinte8625]

Austin P What are you talking about? no he doesn't. Do you not listen to the rules? "defense has a bigger margin for error"

[@tmpace9]

Thrash n sesh impossibles are easier than 3 shuvs... they game Koston a break.

[@moomen100]

Gotta admit Koston put up a damn good fight.

[@supersickedits6275]

Can you please send an invite to Rodney Mullen so we can see him completely dominate with flip tricks? The man is a living wonder of the world.

[@AnthonyMooreIsTerrible]

I love how koston is so positive

[@MrBikboi]

Koston is sometimes turned on and sometimes off, PJ is always consistent and incredible to watch.

[@weggensjeanbaptiste]

I love pj but I really wanted koston to win big upset for me

[@DeffectiveMirrors]

PJ always beats him. Es game of skate, and twice in BATB. He's a savage

[@S4LSnipingClan11]

That switch inward heel flip would've been sick

[@andresfreyre7018]

Koston is legendary at skate some kids dont know he throws the game most of the time

[@Goggalor1990]

Why do almost all the Impossibles I see from Pro's aren't actual Impossibles, if it doesn't vertically wrap around the back foot, it's a 360 shuv.

[@darijo93]

Can't believe Koston is still the shit... he is a legend.

[@moezep]

Steve Carrell was at The Berrics?!?!?!

[@WhosMishimoto]

i love how pj does his tricks in order

[@munkycheeeeeez]

+Tilden Chubbs that's a good strategy, cycle through the basics and read your opponent. if they make it through all the basics you can slam them with what was sloppiest

[@belfastkai-ni8327]

This is where SMS came from...

[@076657]

Traplluminati he has aspergers

[@dowansulton123456]

PJ let someone else take throne in batb7, he's taking it back this year. PJ for the win.

[@PsychicJaguar19]

I love the switch back 3’s from koston

[@UnitedShredNation]

Koston is 40 years old and still killin shit.

[@SanderVanBrugghe]

Guy is love, guy is life

[@aidanseath2960]

Did anyone else see Koston rocking Thunders?

[@ian7208]

Damn the nollie backside & switch frontside flips are so smooth. Those things could probably go down a 12.

[@TSKProductions]

PJ Ladd did a 360 shuv instead of an impossible lmao

[@Fallibleandflawed]

Exactly

[@Fallibleandflawed]

Koston as well bro wtf

[@hacksdp3]

Cyril killa vs. Asta game was awesome, go watch it now.

[@skhtrm]

Those impossibles were 3 shuvs

[@DjAlkalina]

firsts seconds , you can see 3 skateboarding legens! ladd-mariano-koston !!!!

[@tonyflamingo8079]

koston i know its been a year but im still pissed i lost $100 in a bet

[@spefjohn4029]

👌🏽😂

[@VIFG]

Only an idiot would bet against PJ in a game of skate

[@mikeyz1515]

Tre flip nollie tre flip switch tre flip fakie tre flip

[@kunntakinte8625]

Mikey Z gotta get them basics down.

[@tmpace9]

Kunnta Kinte gotta love them basics... like switch biggerspin and 360 hardflip... hardflip late shuv and bs 180 late double flip.. you know... the basics lol

[@mikeyz1515]

I was just saying they did 4 tre flip variations in a row

[@Chestchop]

[@kevinbender5070]

[@lilsleepy3332]

koston’s switch tre at 1:56 is delicious

[@cdc71792]

[@combowitrice3486]

[@mildseven0506]

Kinda saw that one... Love Koston effort.

[@Dale_Blackburn]

2:24 Lol everybody sure that was not a impossbile. Its 360 shuv-it. Why they accepted it ?? impossible should turn vertical.

[@mexicantacodip389]

Good game

[@wyattogle7537]

Koston in that dope as supreme shirt

[@m_srt_suprahundreds8334]

Pj Ladd had the best routine of tricks

[@explosiveegg3920]

@Thrash n sesh That is true. It didn't look like he went for an impossible. He probably thought Eric did a 3 shuv.

[@AsocalRedneck]

Straight up Koston is the ma...

[@AsocalRedneck]

[@scuddinem]

So sick

[@looseygoosey23]

Pretty rad game
