BATB 12: Aurelien Giraud Vs. TJ Rogers - Round 1

Most BATB competitors come to The Berrics for their battle, but TJ Rogers and Aurelien Giraud opted to ro-sham-bo in front of the Eiffel Tower. (Well, ooh la la!) Just remember guys: No matter who wins, you'll always have Paris.

[@DoggoWillink]

I actually think on flat is probably harder.

[@DoggoWillink]

@Swag God I do, I think the hardest part of that trick (which is saying a lot as it’s insane all around, but still) is having the time to do the late flip. Hardflips are hard to get around on their own, but then the late flip is just insane. I don’t think it’s easier in *every* way down stairs, but it gives you a little more air. Just what I think without ever doing that myself obviously (could be totally wrong). Certain tricks are easier for me off a drop, stairs or a ramp. On flat ground I could never even come close to doing that trick, however if I had the balls to try it off something I’d at least have the time to attempt the late flip. Landing and everything else would be harder yeah.

Sean was a kook in that game for sure, but that trick is definitely its own thing.
