Shane O’Neill Vs. Chris Cole: BATB Classic

As we continue our quick little BATB 12 intermission, revisit this match between Shane O'Neill and Chris Cole from 2012's BATB V. Combined, these Berrics Icons have ro-sham-bo'd in 42 games. This was the second time they met in the arena, and if they both make it to the third round this year it won't be the last.

[@youcrazyjesues]

the old berrics just had this chill vibe. 2009-2014 was a magical time for skating.

[@cheezuschrist]

Literally then 2015+ seems like it got a lot of hype from people who try to monetize it lol

[@SovereignSpectre]

Facts. 2007-2014 was the last golden age of skateboarding. From Fully Flared to the end of 2014. It was golden and I am glad to have skate during these times as well as met pros like Shane O'Neill (twice).

[@buddybenner]

Something about these older battles are just way more fun to watch. I feel like they put in way more effort and also have way more fun than these newer games. The new ones are so quiet and boring and they read the rules for half the video.

[@DawnOfThaDusk]

It's because the games nowadays are so fuckin serious and because of that, it makes it kind of awkward and cringey. Like it's some huge, important competition. Lol it's just skate. It's meant to be fun and it's taken wayyy too seriously nowadays.

[@therealhaterhater6507]

@@DawnOfThaDusk cariuma

[@Peksisarvinen]

It's the stance jerking that's so prelevant now (although it was here as well). Instead of seeing different tricks, it's four variations of every freakin' trick, just trying to get the opponent to mess up. Kickflip, switch kickflip, nollie kickflip, fakie kickflip, then the same thing with heelflip, then tre, then bigspin... it's exhausting. Just do something cool and different.

[@kalaniwoodhandcrafted9160]

[@axel.lessio]

Chris Cole during the Nine Club interview: says he stopped enjoying BATB because kids fire up their special tricks right at the beginning instead of playing a gentlemen game starting with basic tricks. Also Chris Cole: immediately brings Shane to T with impossible tricks and doesn't do any basic one.

[@dgod6715]

Ha for real I forgot about that but maybe those are easy tricks for him

[@GrowingDownUnder]

both guys can land everything and to avoid a never ending game they gotta bring the heat from the start...x games used to do game of skate but the battles were never ending so they stopped doing it because it would often go for like 20 minutes per battle haha and shane actually has some x games skate battles

[@Johnnykrau96]

i feel that but that was deep pro battle nothing like first round trials for these influencers

[@aleksisuuronen9094]

Yeeaah but then again as heard from the start they are/were really closely touch with each other so you can do that with your friend. But with someone you don't know it's way differend.

[@skatestats3733]

[@MickyThunderV]

I feel like they trying to overshadow the fact that they possibly didn't get all the guys they invited. The lineup was just too awesome to be true lol

[@mindgames4916]

I mean it’s pretty difficult to organize something of this scale so maybe we should just appreciate the thoughtfulness being put into this

[@MickyThunderV]

@@AA-lf8xo maybe it's new to them that people don't want to go? I feel like it was and still should be kind of an honor to get invited, back in the day they prolly didn't wait till they confirmed either, but them influencers are all b*tchy about it and only think about what's the best for them.

[@everytimeidad]

Just saying - it’s way harder to tell what stance either of these dudes actually are over people out there claiming to have “no stance”

[@chrisleeedits]

🤜🤛

[@dylano3133]

In my opinion Jerry Hsu gets the closest, but you can always look at the shoulders and see what stance someone really is.

[@Dracula_sb]

Had to remember midgame, but I always remember Shane is goofy

[@theramatube]

Lmao can't agree more. These both are just too popular and too mainstream so most of us know that Shane's goofy and Cole's regular. But their switch game are pretty much better than the "no stance guy".

[@ipo7596]

Shots fired!!! But fr man.
