Seriously felipe is messed up for that pressure flip right as eric got to t. At least go for the trick ypu ssid was your death blow first.

[@theshevanel]

@@presscottfrost Filipe didn't do anything wrong. If you were in his shoes I'm sure you would've went for the throat too -- you're skating in the biggest contest of its kind on the _world,_ you're on T about to get *skunked,* scuffed your first offensive turn. luckily your opponent misses quick to put you back on offense, and you're able to go on a run racking up letters to tie it T to T. _You could_ bust out a super difficult banger that you're pretty consistent on, but has a higher chance of missing than most tricks, but if you do miss the game is very likely over and you lose. _Or_ you could do an easier trick that you have on lock, but a lot of skaters either don't have it in their bag, or they lack any sort of consistency, which gives you a much higher likelihood of winning and moving on -- I know which option I'd choose. They might be having fun out there, and the vibe might be lighthearted, but in the end it's a contest and they're out to *win.* Sometimes it takes being cutthroat when you need to be.

he was popping tricks higher on the random board

@@elijahgibson5201 I Agree. Felipe is small but still only popped his tricks 2 inches high. Both skaters did really well though

What’s wrong with Cariuma? Dont they plant trees when you buy a pair? You a tree hater bruh?

@@hip3rr702 I’m genuinely asking, idk anything about shoes. Especially generic ones I don’t wear

[@SavouryLobster]

@@TytyGoBonkers They just seem like a company who's in skating to get their hype up and now they have celebs wearing their stuff to promote it more. As long as they keep their roots in skating and give back to the skate world then idc what they do.

What a comeback. Well in Filipe!

Props to Filipe! Great game! Eric is... really, REALLY good. Almost won with someone else's board.

“If your opponent popped his trick”……….. they never call that why is it even a rule

[@deeznutsaintroyal]

refs are pointless most of the times and calling for a challenge makes you a douchebag....

[@JoeyCorgs]

it seems like it doesn’t apply to 180s and 360s

[@666DanMartin]

I think if the person setting it pops, the other person has to pop, but if the setter doesn’t pop, it doesn’t matter if the other person pops or not? That’s the way I see it

[@nicslo7929]

Def felt like some of those were 180 to 180 power slide.

[@zkipa]

because the only people that ever cared in the first place were people in the youtube comments, so their genius solution was to add it on the rules. so far, it didn't work at all. i think malto actually brought it up maybe? but it had already been thoroughly discussed by that point

[@andrijamidzor109]

Whenever I can't decide who to root for I just root against the cariuma billboard

[@SFflippinGiant]

Why does that brand get so much hate? I'm almost 40, and its a genuine question

[@zomboishuts]

@@SFflippinGiant basically because it's new and it came violent with the marketing and publicity, it sponsors a lot of influencers too. Some skaters are just like boomers and will hate on whatever it's new tho lol

[@Bb186fo]

I've been genuinely confused as to why that brand gets so much attention/publicity? They're just so basic looking. Not even trying to be negative, but they remind me a lot of the skate shoes Walmart sells. They exploded out of nowhere I've been wondering what the draw is?

[@crumdogmillionaire3516]

@@Bb186fo they’re pretty much vegan shoes, I think the suede is “ethically sourced” and they’re all about helping the environment and shit. Kinda cool actually

[@ndy4g]

@@crumdogmillionaire3516 They are cheap chinese quality shoes. The quality is very low. They are the same style as the old bulky DVS or Etnies shoes.

[@420camk]

I dont like the pushing immediately after landing the trick. Might just be me, but I feel like you can hide being off balance that way.

[@Chr1z4m]

Me too. Coz you can cheat the balance after landing a trick

[@warrensid]

I noticed that as well, if you cant hold your balance with both feet for at least 3-5 secs then it’s sketch and shouldn’t count

[@ipo7596]

Yeah there should be new rule to not get off the board at least 3 or 5 secs after landing a trick.

[@FitemeUrlnotIrl]

Just his style, you can tell he's super relaxed. Are you telling me you never skate like this?

[@cacaloca5434]

Gotta get a pair of new balance

[@peclatkev]

Bro I remember in SLS Rio I was sitting next to Filipe Mota for the entire day and I had no idea who he was (actually at the time he was beggining to rise). Now I admire this kid so much I would have asked for a picture

That lil dude is gnarly af man. Respect on the comeback!
