Tom Asta vs Sewa Kroetkov: Grand Finals CFS 2024

[@resin420]

shoutout dumb data for doing an entire year of batb in like less than a week

[@imdurgesh9430]

Fr we need more like this

The berrics never realized how quickly they could do it if they just bought a soundboard

[@louisroth5941]

Yeah and it was cool that they added fun sound effects

[@memorysometimers3067]

Pretty sure this was all same day !? But yeah editing takes time.

[@illiturit1151]

So glad to have skated before scooters were popular.

[@danielblackburn8312]

What a great game. 2 legends skating and no Steve Berra in sight.

[@carnifex8]

I'd prefer Gifted Hater instead of Steve Berra. I know alot of ppl hate him (thats in the name) but i really find him so funny 🤣 GH as a commentator would be a blast.

[@danielblackburn8312]

@@carnifex8 you should check out YSL 1 and 2

[@MagyarianTartar.i.EatTartaré]

Ya GFTH9r on commentary would be *the* blast. He just needs to gain a bit of weight, round out his muscles, and not try to flex so hard on doing tricks uncalled-for.

[@ianstanley327]

Tom Asia played some crazy defense on this game though, getting both those late flips was nice.

[@mrburns805]

And the 540 flip. So hard to land one of those when you don’t practice them

[@malice4422]

Asia always pulling through. He has a deep bag

[@treeboi5546]

you should see the shit Tom Africa can do, next level imo

[@manashieldworld]

is this a common joke or you playing off the typo in the graphics? caught that too lol

[@andrewashford5617]

He’s the goat for defense! But nobody got a bag like Sewa 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@thatguy5233]

Sewa's flat tricks are SO PROPER, like holy f.

[@thatguy5233]

and he genuinely makes a 540flip look like a basic trick...

[@petehurd5301]

Like everyone else does the trick, while he demonstrates the Platonic Ideal of the trick.

[@davecoppenrath]

Best style in the world in my opinion

[@felipeasesinado]

@@petehurd5301 this opinion is just fucked up, Sewa it's for sure the ideal deal.

[@bimmersbbws6863]

having a consistent treflip, 3 shuv, 540 shuv, 540 flip, and tre double flip is insane levels of board control.

Foreal he’s ability to control the spin is unreal just being it’s like he’s playing a video game

[@krusher181]

[@big3ye378]

[@Nick_Tank]

Keep this tourney going!!! Love the random assortment of people honestly! Seriously uploaded 2 seasons of BATB in a week/2 time is insane and keeps the engagement at its peak. The Berrics actually need to take notes

[@NineteenEighty8]

100%. I already rewatched the whole tourny and want more.

[@collinsjames7518]

The Berrics is dead

[@LindyBum1147]

Dumb Data as a host, is refreshing. He doesn't seem to care about being in front of the camera and spotlighting himself. The skating and personalities of the competitors will bring on the good vibes. He just wants to put on a solid game of SKATE with a good crew. The medals and trophy, on top of the money, is a nice touch.

[@julianbrown6805]

I like how that scooter kid just adds to the list of obstacles for this game lol. Like now they have a crack in the ground, and a scooter kid to worry about.

[@NineteenEighty8]

Scooter kid did his best to avoid them and didn't seem intrusive to me. He even stopped once and watched to see where Tom Asta was going before he continued. Rare for a scooter kid(or any kid) at a park.

[@GymleadrLong]

Makes it feel more like a boss battle 😂

Don't forget The Shadow.

You're the man for making this happen dumb data! Those were 2 spectacular b2b games!! Tom and Sewa's flat ground games are both unbelievably high calibre - and the slow mo allows every beautiful detail to be appreciated... Sewa's form with his tricks is literally perfection

[@MauroskiSkates]

i love your idea of glorifying the steezy buttery tricks with the instant replay and slow-mo it captivates the true meaning of the word textbook. take notes kids.

[@JacobDrives]

I met sewa at 3rd and army a few years back , maybe 6-8 years ago. But I ate shi trying to 50-50 the high entreenace table there and then got back and did it again and v heeled out of a kicker at the end of the pier , then threw out a couple cool tricks in after. There’s was people there kind of fan boying over him , and I just left him alone. But when he left, he introduced himself to me, shook my hand and told me to keep skating, no one else got that. Which made me super hype. never forget moments like those with my piece of wood and some wheels. Shoutout sewa , he was wearing his red bull hat and he had a lady with him I imagine his gf or wife and she was decked out in a white designer dress . Then he left with her and a fire started which smoked out the pier and made the skaters have to leave. The. The fire truck showed up to put it out, lol never forgot that day in frisco forreal. It was so freaking cool. If sewa sees this, maybe you remember that day in San fransisco ?!

"You don't get that much at the Berrics", lol actually true. Great run from Sewa and through losers no less. No repeats on bracket reset was the right call. Really hope you can do this again with some improvements here and there because over all this was a lot fun.

[@arcticlight232]

Certainly true for the last BATB

@@ThisNachoFriend Literally my point. He didn't do any in BATB(never on offense) but he's doing them now.

[@henryheissenbuttel4615]

i just woke up from a dream where i was watching tom asta skate and he was calling double kickflips (spanish kickflips) and it just kinda made sense. he was doing fs spanish kickflips down a 2 stair, and i knew what he meant, and then i woke up and was like... thats kinda hard. spanish kickflip.... idk why thats what it was being called but i thought it was cool sounding. in my dream he was also doing a fs spanish kickflip to switch 5.0 on a ledge and it was so dope. anyway..... im going back to sleep. and from now on in my head cannon double kickflip is called a spanish kickflip because of tom asta.

[@MagyarianTartar.i.EatTartaré]

Tommy's Italian (Sicilian surname) but not Spanish, questionable if Tom would approve his flips being called that, especially if one conspired it stoned while daydreaming (consious sleep)

Hands down the most fun ive had watching a series of skate. From the edits to the multiple angles to the interesting roster. It felt like there was lore and inside jokes developing throughout and it was sick. It was not only hard asf seeing these guys put down some serious bangers but it was funny asf w the edits and the lighthearted mood of it all. The commentary and reactions from the crowd surrounding the game was also funny asl mixed w the edits. It was funny and cool asf that the crowd was made up of mostly the cast of skaters as well. Giving my feedback cuz im hoping this happens again, w another interesting cast of skaters (or a repeat) from all different parts of the industry. The whole first game w jeff was hilarious and having gifted hater screaming "it counts" had me dead. Super funny entertaining and extrememly enjoyable to watch. ❤
