Mano A Mano 2023 - Round 1 - Men's: Eli Williams vs. John Worthington

[@GrumpyBottom]

That kickflip 5-0 was ridiculous.

[@nostalgic_pokemon_memories]

PERFECT!

[@palaisfs]

You there 🖤

[@joshuafrederiksen]

Literally was about to comment this exactly. What a freaking machine!

[@18JR78]

5:38

[@al69420]

Wait til you see what Lindloff is gonna do. He’s gonna stomp these fools out.

[@Boogyboogy-wg3wt]

Eli's bag of kickflip tricks is wild. good game!

[@quezlark7875]

Id definitely say if somebody does a trick above coping or on the extension the defense should have to do the same. This game was crazy tho. soo good

[@brocksamson9737]

Same could be said for the slides. If anyone slides their trick they should do it as well.

[@ogmike6444]

John Worthington is the best pool skater i have ever seen in person its insane

[@matthew3396]

That pickup truck music tho

[@Roshambo3]

Both their styles are so sick. Good game!

[@huxm5259]

commentary could be removed entirely and i would be stoked

[@ElDiggityDog]

For real

[@paulfield6815]

Yeah, it's surprising. I thought it would be good/funny with Crob being there. It's even worse with the women's division. Even though LIzzie is aweome, it doesn't seem like commentary is her skill set.

[@malice4422]

Yeah the commentary is just awful and adds nothing. Would love to see just the skating, if anything if they really want their faces on camera maybe just pan over to show their reactions but thats it

[@Shortsrealstories]

Hush

[@gobeats333]

These dudes are so annoying

[@MickyThunderV]

Tim still not shy about showing ppl that he is the absolute worst commentator there is😄

[@symmetry101]

Lookin forward to another season of body odor jokes. Yay...

[@megaflux7144]

enjoyed this immensely!

[@iansamuel1811]

the pivot fakie was the setup. gotta love it

[@filippoprevitali]

that kickflip 5/0 was wild!!!!

[@mytorment]

I only just [re]discovered John Worthington through his 'Indy' part, rewatching this match now so awesome 😎

[@treeafodo1]

Anyone know the specs (height/transition/width/etc) of that mini ramp? It looks perfect

[@augormasterson9312]

There needs to be a rule made that if a trick is popped above coping, the defensive trick must be done above coping also. Worthington was below the coping of virtually every trick he did on defense.

[@Sumunuhriginal]

Defense is supposed to have some leeway. Often times people that do tricks above coping do them above coping because it’s easier for them that way. Just because it’s below coping doesn’t make a trick easier, mostly just less scary for someone who has never done it before. If above coping was a rule people wouldn’t even try to learn or land the trick they’d just fake pop it or take the letter. It’s similar to the extension rule, just bc the other person hit the extension doesn’t mean you also have to do it on the extension. The idea is to do the trick in general not replicate it the exact same way from pop height to coping height. Also this is all just for fun and they’re not trying to get people hurt.

[@paulweaver7073]

The risk of eating shit really bad while trying a trick for the first time ever, over coping, is very high. And everything Tristan said.

[@RandyTwang]

​@Tristan same as with a flat-ground game. People on defence generally get away with completely mobbing it or doing a bit of toe drag.

[@cheeseroyale8797]

ELI P ALL THE WAY!!! Love from SF

[@lucaslorentzon8189]

the left side has won every mano mano this year so far

[@marissac870]

Winkowski took it first year. I believe it was first year

[@BetterSkateThanNever]

2 of the best transition skaters

[@donhillsmanii5906]

My man ELI WILLIAMS!!! We love and support you brother

[@MickyThunderV]

Great Battle! Fan of Eli now

[@rodskt100]

Super fun!! Mad skills...

[@ivantwopairs1766]

Funny cuz JWorth skates the tightest pools like they're mini ramps

[@loudclouds6783]

That kickflip 5-0 game over that was deadly!

[@mytorment]

Great helmet promo

[@postmodernerkindergartner960]

i think it's just the cool thing to do to live the veggie life and shit yourself 2 times a day

[@mytorment]

taxonomy, in a broad sense; is the science of classification, but more strictly the classification of living and extinct organisms-i.e., biological classification. The term is derived from the Greek taxis (“arrangement”) and nomos (“law”). Taxonomy is, therefore, the methodology and principles of systematic botany and zoology and sets up varying arrangements of plants and animals in hierarchies of superior and subordinate groups....

[@mytorment]

​@@postmodernerkindergartner960oh crap I just realised your comment was valid, I thought you were obscure trolling so I retrolled 😅 apolly

[@TorinPerczynski]

1:25 LOL now chris likes when they go straight into it🤣🤣

[@Schlammy7]

Great game!

[@Schlammy7]

Let’s get some interesting/funny commentators tho! Who picked these guys?

[@tjp7154]

I love the Dodgeball-style commentary for these.

[@nateapel6743]

“this dude definitely owns a weedwacker”

[@cstpa1]

i liked the tricks in this one

[@skatermanbuns]

Best game so far ngl

[@palhais01]

Great game 👌

[@MarcSACarter]

really hope that Tim isn't at cph this year

[@johnjinglehimer2900]

BRACKET STACKED LIKE DD's. Haven't even watched yet and ik it's gonna be as good as the final.

[@Symmetry77]

FS Flip was insane

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

Creature Fiends showin up! 💚 Worthington and Kimbal

[@S1RBR4N]

Nice game

[@MikeNelson-v6o]

Eli was insane like always, good game

[@johnnyc.3261]

Really good match up. I feel like it’s pretty easy to guess who’s going to win these before they start but not this one.

[@jonathanbarb5516]

Eli! Eli! Eli!

[@ThatSkaterGuyy]

Yeahhh Eli!

[@themoog924]

Gnar slams and straight up for more.

[@hudson9660]

Kicked flip fakie was sick

[@sandhillskating2499]

love eli

[@tomallen7433]

Eli Williams is sick

[@siriplaydopethrone8973]

J worth got that Electric Wizard shirt nice

[@kevg5883]

“Oooooh he got the dust hoof” 😂 Tim O’Connor cracks me up

[@ZozoZephettoZak]

🎉

[@ZozoZephettoZak]

Lord, when I look at the world, I see that it is as broken as it has ever been. All of the knowledge and learning that we have accumulated has not brought us peace and righteousness. Your wisdom alone is enduring, Lord. And Your plans alone are steadfast. So teach me to rely on Your word and Your truth, so that I may find my way within the purposes of Your heart. In Jesus’ name, amen.

[@jDDignity]

Tricknames please

[@jakeanton5273]

Called em stinky lol that’s not very nice

[@hachimauli]

The judges/commentators sound like buffoons, drawing on boring cliches like "tall vs small" and ""this dude has a weed wacker." They even insult the contestants live on air by saying they both smell bad. At the end of the day it's the judges that come across as immature and uncreative. I would love to watch great skating like this without my ear drums being abused.

[@lotwizzard1748]

clowning has *always been part of the game

[@Schlammy7]

The commentators suck on the women’s and men’s videos. Good thing the skating is sick as shit

[@Jud]

It's hilarious that crob is one of the judges

[@lazyskb]

Let the stoners cook, old men...

[@12killkill]

Eli looks like an old version of Gavo Bottger

[@18JR78]

5:38

[@tylerraben8784]

Plz get rid of the judge thats not crob or sinclair dude is so damn annoying

[@AlexNiedt]

How do you not know who Tim O'Connor is?

[@cybersk8er]

lets go

[@Ejazzle]

bro kickflipped 3ft above the coping on that kf 5-0

[@dubble_g]

idk why they have people commentating its unneccesary imo

[@jga9441]

Este año participara Andy Anderson

[@al69420]

Jesse in the background at 2:05 lol

[@UITWEG3010]

why does tim o connor feel like a macho less psychotic version of berra though

[@BenDover_Sr.]

Cause you know nothin 'bout skateboarding, pardner.

[@mercedes.c63_audi.q8]

He's always been kooky and annoying during this series.

[@_freedumb]

lol i was thinking the exact same thing

[@vanillaicecream9126]

John Worrthingtin is real animal specialy in pools

[@derrikobrien8927]

They should definitely have left in the part where Eli tells Tim O’Connor to eat shit.

[@osdhockey2388]

?

[@MickyThunderV]

Tim has well overstayed his welcome in Skateboarding

[@kozosdeszkasmagazin2359]

I miss Andrew so much

[@amondstar3747]

it really should be more than 5 letters

[@michaelmcgraw4888]

The judges commentary blows and if a trick is done on an extension you do it on the extension.

[@xmascardsforthementallyill]

hosts be beefing

[@chris73brown]

Mental. Liking

[@Trasher50]

The judges /commentators ruin this.. too cringe

[@PapaPerk360]

Crob is a goober

[@cezarrebollo]

Brazilian pro Pedro Barros

[@pradellouis]

Eli won without playing safe. Well actually John neither, they both tried sick tricks, and both landed some, for a great show.

[@mytorment]

Alright I'm fussy; Eli is goofy; so his frontside (flip) is meant to be anti clockwise (he turned clockwise) John is regular so his frontside turn is supposed to be clockwise; he turned anti clockwise, they're backside/ blindside turns they both did 😅🫒

[@larajanesen8795]

Bro dont call them smelly dudes

[@mahoi9029]

crob and oconnor should just let sinclair host this.

[@donworryboudat]

If one guy lands a trick on the extension than the other guy should have to do that same trick on the extension wtf lol😂

[@tins_world299]

J worth still the goat 🔥

[@nathanvarnis1329]

Not doing a trick on the extention on defense is like doing a trick off a curb when the set trick was on a 10 stair. Just saying....

[@PringleSucka]

Tim has gotta be one of the most annoying dudes in skating.. Bummed to have to listen whilst watching actual talent.

[@Zaceriah]

let’s see it in a pool!!!

[@calamitosisbandec3168]

Crob has no idea about mini-ramp tricks

[@jakefernandez7876]

Almost upset tim didn’t say anything about the biggie back d

[@al69420]

Jesse is gonna clown everyone in this competition

[@MadDgtl]

gonna join the chorus of people bashing the commentators, they just don't have a single funny or insightful thing to add to any of these games

[@maasmans]

Love the games of skate but the editing is really annoying always going to the commentators..

[@blitzu_1]

Trumper John got clipped up 💀

[@DDRaph]

Battle of the smelly dudes lol

[@CRASSsk8s]

I like seeing C-Rob with this deal.

[@al69420]

Anyone wanna place a bet? I got $1000 on Jesse winning it all.

[@al69420]

“Doesn’t have to be on the extension” this contest sucks

[@ramseyaaronr]

the smelly guys lol

[@Airik1111bibles]

You guys need people talking who really care .....It just feels lazy. I can imagine it takes energy away from the skaters .

[@lachtdichaus9064]

Man, these old guys are annoying.

[@mytorment]

Worthington made 'losing' look thoroughly effortless 😅🫒

[@mr.thammisses6119]

Man I miss Grings and Slides.

[@andrewashford5617]

Crob dress like a dad of 5🤡 wtheeeeeellllll
