Zach's offense was boring because Jamie can barely pop a shuvit

​@@standerrThat's the weak point of being a flip wizzard. You need to be carefull with basic tricks because you can overrotate it easily.

Great game, Jamie is a consistency monster. Berrics HAS to bring Zach back next year, dude defended a double heel, double hard flip and double forward flip. This guy could have made finals night had he not had the bad luck of being in Jamie’s bracket

[@ethanh116]

@@sdotwallacedon’t sleep on zach bro, two things he has for days are consistency and stamina. had he made that back heel the video would’ve been at least another minute and a half. also (and this is absolutely no offense to either of them) jamie is like the mayweather of flatground: he plays it extremely safe. not to say that’s not a great strategy, but getting shut out by him isn’t a very uncommon thing because of it.

[@adamzaczek6342]

This game gave me goosebumps. Honestly, I did not see a lot of his skating before but Zach is an absolute beast. I believe that has it been anyone else but Jamie, Zach would come victorious.

[@jay133666]

Damn, I felt like Zach had the most chance to wear out Jamie, but this guy is just beyond unstoppable. Like he feels no pressure at all. Insane! Thank you, guys, for one of the best games of skate ever!

[@frozennorth3426]

@@cacaloca5434​​⁠​​⁠lol yeah. Jamie looked like he’d just woken up from a long night and gotten spliffed, didn’t even care. He was just laughing with his friends the whole time, probably just waiting to get some food and get on with their day. Meanwhile Jeff “negative pop” DeChez sketches through every trick with his “THIS is my Moment” game face on 😅 Anyone who says Griffin has no style should watch That game to see him side-by-side with Jeff. DeChez defended a clear impossible with the most “3-shove” 3-shove that ever 3-shoved, with visible airspace between him and the board for the entire 360 degrees, and someone called it out in the comments, and the dude comes in to defend himself, saying that even if he knew he failed to do an impossible, the judges didn’t notice, so he should get to take credit and not re-do or take a letter. I don’t know what’s funnier, openly admitting he Knowingly got away with credit for a basic trick he can’t do, or him reading through all the comments and getting in a fight with all the people calling him out.

[@JarvisCE]

I'm not surprised at the outcome, but I did honestly think there was a good chance it could go either way. Jamie has insane offense, and Zach clearly has insane defense. So this was almost the unstoppable force vs immovable object, but Jamie is just out of this world.

[@okisktr8728]

There gonna make a new rule, must be going ___ mph speed or it doesn’t count lol

[@thesmellycatjazz]

I think Jamie was conserving his energy because he knew Zach is going for a game of stamina

[@frozennorth3426]

⁠Yeah. Also if something is a trick you don’t do every day such that it has its “ideal feel” wired into your current skate life, then it’s best to do the highest-probability version of the trick, which isn’t hauling ass and blasting high. there’s a reason why we respect when skaters (including Griffin) do things fast and high: it’s Harder …and SKATE is about maximizing consistency, not minimizing it for stunt cred. but, IF you’ve been doing Trick X every day medium-high recently, then you should do it that way in SKATE also, because that’ll be most familiar, most dialed-in.

[@MeVSGravity1]
