Mano A Mano 2022 - Round 1 - Men's: Heimana Reynolds vs. Erick Winkowski

[@duneslayer2457]

2 attempts per try is the way to go with these games! Hopefully next season this is incorporated.

[@trentweyermuller6977]

Seems like some sets they are letting them get a warm try. They needs these rules written out

[@mattpetty3816]

thank god this is back. I no joke searched for it like 2 weeks ago

[@CollinGill7]

i feel like heimana is the only person in the whole comp who even stood a chance on defence against erick

[@junkfoodeater]

They just don't care, if they would they could learn those hand plant variations in a day, those are easy old tricks lol

I love this competition but I think the rules are a hindering how good it could be. My opinion is that it would be more entertaining (and slightly longer) if it followed rule similar to Slides and Grinds instead of BATB.

[@marty4382]

Slides and grinds has it dialed with 2 attempts

[@calamitosisbandec3168]

that's what I was thinking, the competitors need one more attempt to figure out the tricks

[@christophershiverz9332]

Absolutely

[@BriskyJam]

Or maybe spell out Mano A Mano instead of skate. Like extend the letters to make the matches longer

[@dynimo32]

Agreed, its essentially the first person to land there 5 tricks wins

[@502jackal]

how do you do a unit in a mini? a miller is hard enough but to actually get the revert is wild

[@wizard42069]

when you throw it high enough the momentum itself just finishes the last 180 for you

[@megaflux7144]

love this format!

[@pierreardouin6441]

Lean to stalefish was amazing!

[@seeeeeej]

Dang I really wish we had some more hand plant variations. I didn’t see any in this game.

[@patrikmulato1570]

I dont want to hate on Erick but Heimana deserved this one he seems more versatile not just handplants variations. But still props to Erick sick tricks.

[@boomah47]

Lol you must've never seen winkowki clips then haha he's 1000% more versatile than heimana

[@marissac870]

The thing is erick can and has done all that shit. Ahhhh heimana got em

[@versnellingspookie]

I'm seriously impressed by Heimana though, such a sick style he has

[@marissac870]

Haven’t watched the vid yet already know games abt to be insane

[@mylesaway2566]

Kinda wish they'd start off with some relatively basic tricks than going for the throat right from trick 1.... just saying

the alternating offense format discourages that

[@チャーリーブラウン-w8l]

You lot should take the example of Slides & Grinds Every skater should at least have 2 attempts, and the last letter should be 3

[@wiegerbruil4027]

I missed this so much!!!

[@CollinGill7]

i love heimana trying to figure it out in his head at 3:03 lol you can really see the gears turning

[@drdancel]

This is the one I've been waiting for!

[@johnnyc.3261]

I dig the attempt but SKATE doesn’t really work with such different boards. Still sick to watch.

[@wizard42069]

ive been waiting for this since i figured out how to invert.

[@_barnac]

love hes not wearing cariumas, makes his style way better

[@PabloPazosGutierrez]

How do you do a nose blunt without a nose?

[@mike_deth]

Crazy this was a first round match up.

[@marty4382]

Battle between two contortionists this is perfect

[@sealontour]

"Did I touch?" Let's be honest, he knew he did touch.

[@jaewan234]

[@snowboarder4700]

Yes! Got this one right on my bracket too!

I bloody love that crosshatch coping 🤤 Msg from scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Let me get some recommendations for the best mini ramps in the world and where are they!! This got me HYPED

[@Iaanboi]

They need to allow one more try.

[@BriskyJam]

I think to make these series better it should be longer than skate. Maybe spell out Mano A Mano instead of skate . These matches go by way too quick

[@BassAdventuress]

Let’s go!!

[@elecoemite]

Dope

[@ojderrick5632]

Winky is the coolest skater

[@joshgotter4922]

Is Erick riding the creature guest model of his board?

[@h.c4898]

These hand plant tricks are actually harder than it seems.

[@Mysiamesecatblue]

This is cool. Normal battle at the berries was getting a little boring

[@lamambas9390]

watching bowl skaters on a mini is crazy. who else would just be doing eggplants on that thing?

[@daveyvdborght705]

Spoiler alert 😂😂👊

[@timmynastics]

The commentators are everything I hate about skating. Stop talking.

[@turtletramp]

This is more like an old school vert contest.

[@atwoodthehunter2620]

Huh, never knew my first board was a board from this guy skating.(winkowski) Lol

[@devinsinclair5254]

If you beat Eric you definitely did something..I think Eric kinda let him have it.. friendly vibes Eric didn’t play dirty.. Heimana is something skilled though.. But Eric coulda crushed it going first

[@goardboards4252]

I wanna see the judges and those marketing plus 1’s play a game. At least one of those dudes was pro

[@frontsidekrookedgrind289]

tim was yes, the dude with the main commentary

[@marissac870]

Ewwwww heart supply victory. Dang

[@Trails_trout]

lets go heimana

[@therealruru]

I'll say this again: this is such a stupid idea. Whoever wins the ro-sham-bo basically wins the game unless one skater is severly better than the other.

[@jasonvu8935]

You realize that they switch turns right? There’s no advantage to winning ro sham Bo here except going first, but they still switch off so both pick tricks

[@therealruru]

@@jasonvu8935 it doesn't matter. When it's T to T, all the setting skater (the guy who probably started) has to do is do one of his comfortable difficult tricks. Because there's such a wide range of tricks to do on a mini ramp with this format (compared to flat ground), pretty much every decent competitor will have 5 or more tricks that they can fairly comfortably do that other skaters haven't tried or just aren't very good at

[@jasonvu8935]

@@therealruru there’s no advantage when they switch turns bro lmao every skater has their own bag of tricks they specialize in so it goes both ways

[@erics9489]

That board on Erick seems like a real disadvantage.

[@jaylattergrass6307]

[@Man_Lantern_Skateboards]

I wonder if Heimana learned inverts just for this. If so, it paid off

[@Lugnuttington]

Heimana has always had good stalled inverts

@@Lugnuttington I see. that might be why they paired them

Doing all hand plants variations are worst than that.

[@dunk1089]

hate that the only edge erick has on anyone is his ability to do hand plants for every try. lol it’s not entertaining and it’s cheap. his smug smile tells me he’s willing to do whatever soulless shit to win. weirdo

[@elioth7795]

thats interesting cuz to me while watching it seemed that erick didnt care if he won or lost. the other dude was out to win right out the gate forsure with his first trick no?

[@dunk1089]

@@elioth7795 you’re right. he probably thought that his opponent could do every single hand plant in every variation lmao
