Right On!!! The basic stalls they do ( rock and roll, tail stall, 50/50 stall) to get set up for their big trick, are what my friends and I do when playing skate. Those are our big tricks.

[@chyeaOGKush]

lmao 100%

[@gabaghoul23]

that dudes legs are taler than his entire torso and head combined- teh LANK!! looks like a tuning fork while skating lol

[@DarkShadow-vg9dj]

for shu

[@vanillaicecream9126]

those all rock and roll and others are basic set ups tricks

[@bickcucks]

Front side flip disaster if im feeling brave lmao

[@KaiDown]

Definitely wasn't a gentleman's game, but neither of them seemed to mind that and it seemed like great vibes. Can't blame Chris for smashing out the FS flips either, there's not a single trick Andy does that's in anyone else's wheelhouse.

[@johnnyhammersticks88]

Andy is always on some bs in games of skate tho.

[@yyyobwoc]

@@dans2833I don’t agree with it but I get it. when going against a guy like andy you either gotta be just as versatile or you gotta win on whatever technicality you can get.

[@uncledaddyproctologist1325]

Cuz most of the tricks he does looks shit and isn't worth spending time learning

[@beatles42ohgg94]

@@yyyobwoc yeah, this reminds me of the straight 8 style skaters in a game of skate. ive always been bad at kick flips. so you could get 4 easy tricks on me in any game of skate. but if i get to set trick. ill do every shuv it, every 360. every tricks gotta be a banger when you cant land kick flips.

So nice to see Crob finally get excited over a game!

[@paulweaver7073]

Crob has come to hate skateboarding but has sunk so far into the industry that he has no other career options. It's all fake enthusiasm for the camera so he can keep getting booked for appearances. Look into his eyes. He is dead inside.

Can't really blame him...all these Mano A Mano games are basically the same and almost nobody manages to land the trick on defence.....

Kickin Andy out is seriously a big thing!! Those FS Flip variations are totally impressive and clean on top. Wow, respect!!

[@jonasgeez2140]

That trick where Andy was on 2 wheels was sick

[@SirSnipeSnipe]

When playing against andy i think chris had to play smart by doing frontside flips, everyone knows andy has the most unique bag of trick..chris had to get him out the only way he knew he could

[@Matthew-qf8bb]

i agree, but i think getting andy just one letter that wasn’t a fs flip would’ve been a lot better

[@keithstone6411]

It was honestly wack

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

@@Matthew-qf8bb Why? It's the whole point of the game to land tricks that your opponent can't, and I think the probability of Andy doing those fs flip variations is higher than Chris doing the crazy stuff that Andy does.

[@SirSnipeSnipe]

@theghostoffredzeppelin80 yea the tricks chris does are atleast name able, andy does stuff most skaters rarely see let alone have the chance to practice...andy was going to win for sure if chris didn't play cut throat...props to both skaters tho

[@ashleybrown4754]

@@keithstone6411 That was like finding out your opponent can’t double flip and doing every variation. Shit was super lame.

[@user-ol2vp3hz7l]

I nearly had a heart attack! The ending was killer.

[@Reneskatefe]

There was absolutely no tailgrab at all 😂

[@Runduchess]

I personally feel like repeating a variation of the same trick and circus tricks both are frowned upon especially in a formal contest setting but in this case it made for an incredible game.

[@BartBoyBlu9234]

I feel like circus tricks are way more frowned upon than variation tricks. Just my opinion, but I can't stand watching Andy skate and since it's already so hard to judge skate contests, Andy often unjustly steals the show. Glad he's out so I can see some actually amazing tranny skating.

[@netzerish]

​@Bart Stepien so you prefer the same cookie cutter skateboarding that's been going on for years? Interesting, I think it's boring and predictable.

Chris Gregson the hero we needed.

[@nickcalabrese4829]

Yes but it’s also fun to watch Andy just do the most bullshit tricks not really get why people are bummed on them lol. The swivel tricks he does are boring, but other than that it’s so entertaining to watch him. That blunt fakie? Come on that’s hilarious.

[@tyrone-dh6iy]

@@nickcalabrese4829 it might be funny if he didn't just try to claim his fs flip tail was legit right before that...

[@nickcalabrese4829]

@@tyrone-dh6iy It was a weird call, especially that late in the game, but didn’t change the outcome. Honestly I’m kind of cool with it even if it had. Games are boring when you just bank on one trick you know your opponent can’t do. At least when Andy does something stupid, it’s different each time. The one different trick Chris did, I really didn’t expect Andy to land, so when he did that was cool lol. And same when Chris did the silly blunt fakie. I think there was a game last season where Andy did a couple of those dumb swivel tricks where it’s just like blunt, smith, rock and roll type variations, and in the same way that was super boring.

[@chinesefoodbong]

thank god he won

[@tyrone-dh6iy]

@@nickcalabrese4829 yeah, the thing is though with andy you are certain to get one of those games. I'd take a fs flip barage over that extra spinny bs combo stuff. anyway, i'm glad that call didn't change the outcome of the game, as that would have been super unfair..andy id good enough he shouldn't need that kind of help from the judges

Great vibes all around! Chris Gregson has such a good styleee. Glad to see him move forward. Shoutout to Andy for keeping it light hearted

[@uriahh6931]

A.. mono style.. you can say

[@pi11sburydoeboy]

Andy is a G for calling his tricks out. That's how it should be for this game. That one girl was trying kickflip blunts and landed a kf rock instead and they used it as her trick.

[@roodaley]

Gentleman’s rules lol

[@jackske11ington]

i fully agree. calling your trick is how we always played skate

[@benj6107]

Also for calling out the fact that he touched the top of the board and didn’t grab the tail.

[@jbean9021]

You’re blind. It was clearly a kickflip rock fakie. No woman is trying kickflip blunt.

[@gustavorodrigues6882]

[@djsubliminalreeve]

I think jake wooten will probably win again now as he's just perfect on transition

[@bakuninRogers]

Damn, I thought Andy had frontside flips on transition.

[@Matthew-qf8bb]

i think it’s heels he has on lock

[@TheGollum619]

I think he has them down pretty good, saw him do em a lot. But the regular ones, not with disaster and grabs

[@Rooftop_Korean_159]

​@@TheGollum619 yeah you're right, Andy does them like Muska where they flip like hardflips or illusion flips. It's an awesome looking trick either way.

you are extremely uninformed about mini ramp...disco lip variations are old af...gregsons tricks would actually be fun to learn and do and require a skill...sliding in and out of lip to axle to blunt combos is what everyone does waiting for the bus...hilarous that you think a real trick is lame, and stringing together a bunch of easy tricks is Quircky! and original...kids did all that in the 90's when 4 foot minis were de riguer
