JONNY GIGER VS JAMIE GRIFFIN | ANYTHING ON FLATGROUND COUNTS

[@PHIplaytesting]

Jamie was just like "Man, I don't know how to do any weird stuff... All I can do is insanely hard tricks. "

[@kjdacod]

Ive never seen a triple tre on flat besides some other tricks, like that pressure tre flip. I feel bad for all batb fans who haven't seen this!

6:27

[@xzed3545]

Lmao totally

[@shmalts1]

I think Jamie fits into pushing the modern ideology of flat ground and batb style skating to its extreme and overall I’m glad he’s in the next round. That being said, as mentioned from another comment, it’s so hard to actually compare Jonny to 99% of other flat ground skaters as he’s pushed the blend of 90s free style w modern day flat ground I think more than anyone.

[@axesofebil]

Thankfully Johnny's style and channel is for sure going to influence another generation of skaters.

[@anoobis745]

The difference is consistency. Jaimie just has everything more on lock lol. He’s just overall better.

[@cydar]

Thats why Jonnys one of my favourite skaters

[@Labergemusic]

Well said!

[@littlebear2477]

[@MrMcSwiftface]

I think Jonny could win with primo variations alone but picks tricks to create a fun and competitive game, love it

[@drchipmunk3247]

Very true. It also just wouldn’t make for a good video if Jonny skunked a talented skater with primo tricks.

[@BogusNoise]

Yeah, was good sportsmanship to set it into primo on that one near the end!

[@BogusNoise]

@Daniel S I mean really though? I think Griffin does have the edge, especially in that last beast mode phase, but Giger is still undeniably massively talented.

[@austinpearson2684]

@Daniel S I think they are equally talented John has done some crazy tricks he's just super layer back and he focuses in freestyle to Jamie solo focuses on flat ground and doing crazy tricks when johny was younger he would have had no chance

[@MrMcSwiftface]

I think they’re pretty evenly matched in skill but Jamie clearly performs better under pressure

[@seancarterx]

I knew Jamie was insane at flat ground but this shit confirms he’s an actual alien. The run around 6:30 is probably the most impressive first try flat ground run I’ve ever seen.

[@YorraPenae]

It's definitely out of this world mind blending 😂

[@Clarke1982]

Jonny is so kind in skate... I feel like he kept his flat ground tricks quite chill in the name of friendly sportsmanship.

[@miguelmota5447]

so did jamie xD, i get what ur sayingdoe

[@theknightwhosmokedthelaugh7156]

Nah I'm gonna call it out for what it is... This is the second time that I've seen in a game of skate where johnny has done a primo trick knowing his opponent's trucks are to loose to be able to do it. Fair enough doing it once but doing a second variation is straight up dirty.

[@EarthWalkerOne]

​@@theknightwhosmokedthelaugh7156 I think Johnny knows that Jamie would probably win 3/5 times, so he spotted himself a few letters in good fun trying to inspire Jamie to learn some primo tricks.

[@dfloriza]

The fact that Jamie can just casually bang tricks like this out is a warning shot for the rest of BATB lol

[@ythandlerandom1278LK]

If he can hold his form under pressure on the stage at the berrics this could be massive for his career Finals night would be nuts

[@cesarg4328]

At first I was really mad he defeated Giger on the official BATB battle, but now that I know him a little more, I hope he gets very far, even to the finals, he is very talented and I'm glad Giger got defeated by such a monster and not a regular guy. Go Jamie dammit!

[@kjdacod]

Jamies just ridiculous, he def can easely go for the W there!

[@ythandlerandom1278LK]

@@cesarg4328 - I think that Jamie has more to gain from going to the Berrics - Giger already has a huge following and brand, and can support himself with that. Jamie is probably 10 years younger and just starting out in comparison

[@austinpearson2684]

@@cesarg4328 I agree I was so mad that he beat ginger but after this he's amazing like most of these was first try I really do hope he with the battle at the berries I'm rooting for him now hrs got some crazy ass tricks

[@josealicea3765]

Damn! Jamie and Jonny are both technical wizards! Hopefully we'll see more of them together in the future!

[@Theupstateidiots]

Bummed that Jonny isn't going to go further in batb, but after seeing this, I want to see Cole vs Griffin. Cole is really good at landing random stuff.

[@EvanFromJersey]

Dude once Jamie gets on a roll he just drops bombs every trick

[@BulletBeena]

Holy shite Jamie went beast mode there! 6:25 onwards was insane 🤯

[@humanbean3]

Jamie is for sure the new generation. His bag of tricks is insane! Having all those deathblows on lock is impressive for sure. If he can keep his cool he'll win BTB no doubt! It's also cool to see Jonny being nice and humble. I hope we see the JG's in more games of skate in the future. I hope traveling gets easier or something, at least for BATB next year

[@forty9r9r7]

BATB Zoom session?

[@seijyhaibara]

It's funny to see Griffin miss the easy tricks, make him look like a normal guy

[@PHIplaytesting]

@Daniel S Because you're playing an anything counts game of skate, that's why. That's what it's all about!

[@codyquagmire2114]

@Daniel S The contradiction is real. You just said "fun tricks" n then repeated to bash said "fun tricks". May not be fun to you, but they are subjectively fun. Anything counts, emphasis on anything.

[@Listenatyourownrisk]

Insane! Was that 360 triple flip? Jamie did at 6:50 in the game.

You two are absolute heroes of skateboarding. It's so cool to see the mutual respect for each other! Awesome!

[@blackforest4527]

6:56 what?

[@iamupinacloud]

Such a gnarly game! It's good to see other skaters out there who are in Jonny's league coz now I've got Jamie to watch shred. Definitely going to subscribe to his channel. Thanks for the entertaining video, as always, King Giger!

[@PhryTheBreather]

It’s gonna be frustrating for old school skaters to admit but Jamie is the next evolution of street skater. It’s clear that there’s more to tricks than what used to be considered the basics. I hope he can inspire future generations! Also shoutout Giger for always keeping the mood great and helping put Jamie on an ever higher pedestal. I hope griffin wins it all

[@Donkeypuncherello88]

Johnny is so competitive, you can tell how pissed he is that he just lost, he was furious on the inside you can tell lol

[@eduardomagalhaesgusmao6724]

That 360 triple flip tho

[@michaelludtke3359]

Unbelieveble how good jamie is and didnt do a normal primo stall. The magic of skateboarding 😄🙏🏻

[@DanielAlbuschat]

It would be super awesome if you could do like subtitles, but write the tricks that were done. This would be super helpful for beginners, and even me, skating since the 90s, couldn't recognize all the tricks. Awesome stuff, thank you for this!

[@andrewfranks8038]

These 2 are on a completely different level. Neither adhere to a standard style of skating. I'd love to see a skate sessions with giger, griffin and anderson. Imagine those 3 trying to one up each others tricks.

[@mj6582]

I have no idea what tricks Jamie did lol, kinda looked all the same but somehow different, he's a beast tho. Heart goes to giger because his tricks looks cool to anyone not just skateboarders. It's like most people could land it but to actually make it look good and clean is another level. You should make you own BATB for flat tricks

[@iamlazyskater]

Jamie and Jonny are both just amazing flatland skaters. Big respect to both of them!

[@eligrant1962]

I hate that these guys had to go against each other so early. Both so much fun to watch. I also kinda wish they lived closer together and could make more content 👌🏻

[@lfgang9994]

Yeah I'd love them to compete in small friendly challenges like who can land a certain weird trick first, who can do the most late flips on a certain obstacle or within a time limit...

[@MrJeremyCHorton]

Absolutely amazing! I think the best trick in this game would have been them breaking the awkwardness at the end by giving each other a hug! I guess they just don't know each other well enough yet or something. I want Jamie to win BATB12!!!

[@MadDgtl]

i like jamie's version of walking the dog that he did on his first attempt with all the little body varials lol

I wonder if Jamie Griffin vs Alex Rademaker happened.

[@denok137]

I found out about JAMIE GRIFFIN when I saw a couple on BATB now it's my favorite modern skateboarder

[@TheGoodChap]

Having a triple tre in the bag is like having an ace high trump card for a game of skate. That said giger could probably make a lot of the same tricks if he could flick the board harder, that's something Jamie perfected but it can be learned, he gets close technically just not enough rotation It is funny how incredibly uncomfortable jamie is with any 80s primo trick, they still look good I just feel like every skater who spent all their time doing tres and stuff are paranoid of the board being primo like it's PTSD, if you think you're going to land like that you bail immediately so doing tricks from that starting position is alien

[@VLux_17]

4:03 Bethune’s style of spinning 😍
