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. "

[@yorrapenae5588]

A True Master Of the Board 🌺💥🛹🔥🌹

[@xzed3545]

Lmao totally

[@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!

[@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

[@nopenopenein8243]

I mean.....the rest of the BATB skaters are pro-skaters who throw hammers skating big stairs and kink rails. Jamie is good but he pretty much focuses on flat ground and small objects all the time.....It's what is expected from him...

[@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]

Well said!

[@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.

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

[@oldgregg86.]

Just imagine having those kinds of flat ground tricks at your disposal. You guys are the future of skateboarding.

[@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 🤯

[@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.

[@natanaelmelinao6029]

Someone: can you truck stand? Jamie: Only hard shit bro...

[@konversion]

I haven't touched a deck in over 20 years but I still love the sport and it has always amazed me how everyone has their own style. Yeah, there are the keystone tricks but every skater has their own nuances in performing them, being the most noticeable during S.K.A.T.E. This was a fun watch.

[@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?

[@shookstylez]

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

[@AKtoTok]

Yesss, this was my most anticipated game for BATB, even better to see with anything counts 🤩🙌. Peace from Alaska 🤙🕊️

[@matthewzimmers1097]

Hell yeah. More Jamie vs Jonny battles

[@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.

[@KillerGumby-ll5xc]

Jamie is super good man. He’s definitely one of the youngerish dudes I like watching. He’s very technical and very smooth. Jonny could’ve wine doing all preemo tricks though but he didn’t do that. It amazes me that there really isn’t switch, regular, nollie, or fakie. You need all of them on lock or you aren’t keeping up with the progression of skating!

[@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!

[@itseb4i]

If Jamie can be this fluid in BATB he might be champ every single time he gets invited. No one is even close.

[@benjamin_Styles]

I love how Jamie can’t do a primo 🤣. Legit my 2 fav skaters in a video! Been wanting this video for a longggg time! Both of y’all are beasts

[@axesofebil]

Jamie is a beast love seeing different styles going against one another like this. You can see the gears turning in Johnny's head he's going to take some of those tricks to the lab for sure!

[@skeven0]

those reverts into a pop, has some nice trick potential, like doing into a flip would be nice

[@MrGwaldo]

Good thinking. Gonna try into 360 flip, backside bigspin and backside flip.

[@okdayton]

jamie is actually a freak ive never ever seen someone with such complex flat ground tricks

[@Listenatyourownrisk]

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

[@Lacotemale]

Thanks dude!

[@BuenaOndaSocialClub]

it's Nollie backfoot impossible

[@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

[@JohnLeopold]

Bro the nosehook impossible. Great match and video Jonny and Jamie, love to see this

was that a 360 triple hardflip? even in slowmo hard to tell, the power in his flick is insane

No, 360 Triple Flip. He did a Hard Double Flip though, the one with 180 rotation.

[@seancarterx]

Tre triple flip but you’re forgiven for being confused. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that one done on flat in my 15 years riding a skateboard, let alone first try
