[@paulfield6815]

I know it's part of the game, but it always feels little lame when they just do a slight variation on a trick they already know their opponent can't do.

[@mikemata623]

That's like saying I can't do a backside flip when I already did a kickflip in a game of skate. Makes no sense.

[@jamalempfehlung9841]

Nobody said anything close to that.

[@PipsClips]

shady ass trick selection on those blunts

[@noahtowne6665]

That’s the only trick she got

[@Doverbendoverben]

Its the same trick with a different grab... 🙄

[@skate_oasis]

That boneless was SOOOO STEEZY! Awesome battle!

[@morphosis7655]

What’s with all those blunt grabs. Shouldn’t be allowed twice, it’s the same trick, come on.

[@pierreardouin6441]

Blunt melon is harder than blunt mute but I get your point.

[@DEEPWATERS4]

Bit of a dirty way to win with the 2nd similar blunt variation but grats to both for pushing it…sick skating

[@gabaghoul23]

its a skate contest- either you can do- or can NOT- nothing dirty about doing somehting your opp cant do- that is the game- get over it simp

[@thrash123ful]

It like watching golf with the lake of enthusiasm from the girls.

[@jackske11ington]

he said to re do the trick on the back lip with it was a good make but then said the hands down and pushed herself back up onto the board 2 videos ago was a make . i dont get this

[@counttrapula7900]

She didn’t slide the lip

[@SSimon]

Why did the judges let that last trick slide. Literally the same trick with a slightly different grab

[@armandocs512]

Unfortunately, there isn't any rule against playing like that. But yeah it's pretty boring to watch pretty much the same trick 4 tomea

[@JABBAWOKKY]

Same trick 5 times. Nice

[@pi11sburydoeboy]

"there's that back d". More like back lip. She slid it

[@plusfortythree]

That boneless from Harlow was fire !

[@sethcox3872]

The redo at 1:50 for no reason…

[@scuba569]

she did it with no slide, slide and stalls are different tricks

[@PipsClips]

doing tricks after seeing the opponent cant do them is lame, early grab blunts? best 16 skaters?

[@TonysbrotherMike]

Weird vibes

[@firstlast4516]

Bit of a sneaky win there but this was my favorite women's match yet :)

[@Doverbendoverben]

That big ass bonelss was sickkkkk!

[@chriscarrico5933]

6:26 Jakes face says it all 😂

[@I_CASCA_I]

Carlins literally the sweetest girl irl and she’s such a good skater

[@JosephineKilgannon]

That last try was soooo close!

[@pi11sburydoeboy]

I know this is all for fun but I think people need to call their tricks beforehand. That one girl was clearly trying a kickflip blunt but went into rock.

[@chris73brown]

Agree. If l play l want everyone to call trick before doin. I'm not into accidental tricks

[@jbean9021]

No she wasn’t. But still, call your tricks.

[@MrWiggnuts]

She won... But the back lip was fine.

[@nathanthompson4077]

harlow should have won carlin played dirty and rude while harlow sent all her tricks

[@MegaAppl3]

These are AWESOME !

[@Dopefoot]

That's was a good one 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@mattikaariainen9098]

They have fun & love

[@crustyyyyyyyyy]

“Oh another blunt”

[@CherryRacingSolo]

Best game yet

[@Mrleahey]

Back d was good

[@ryanrowe1975]

The boneless is making the pressure on Carlin to trying some backside grind and potential to holding on to the trick of timing the right timing.

[@borremskar]

Bro what is this sentence? I had a stroke trying to read it

Wow they are soo good.... for girls. Obviously equally as good as men right?

[@moonbeam54321]

Dirty play 😂 but sick tricks

[@driftrunner805]

The way they jump to flat directly onto their knees 😂 and bailing that front rock was wild

[@kylesalmon31]

That’s a skill in itself! They had to have practiced that a ton.

[@gronos1]

Wack strategy

[@babyguey340]

[@iamlazyskater]

That boneless was wild

[@Greybph]

What did she give 4 letters on blunts?

[@mariohuerta6188]

Proper batte, girls!

[@mytorment]

Harlow had the best effort on that last second attempt, tough kids man, stay away from drugs xx

[@mytorment]

I’d probably skate Fabi - most lesbian statement ever :p

[@AspiringSpaceWizard]

Misses the coping. “Thats a redo !”

[@sk8_bort]

seriously why don't they pinch that trick. It's not difficult at all.

[@ry4368]

Best game of round 1 so far imo (gg ladies)

[@ry4368]

That boneless was something special too

[@johanswanepoelswanies7483]

I vote Harlow

[@gabaghoul23]

chicks on ramp= yess! andy anderson vs jake wooten is stil the best

[@asawolfe_]

I think it personally needs to evolve into no grabs or hand plants like battle at the berrics

[@brycesaunders9948]

Why does she pronounce Mano A Mano different every time

[@mytorment]

Sinclair was a really great judge but redos killed a few skaters

[@GABEGRAPES]

The girls stuff is almost giving me 2nd hand embarrassment o way this is women’s progress since steamer

[@Dsaucin]

lizzie armanto with the permanent just got dumped energy. always feels like she could start crying at any moment.

[@mytorment]

I made an hobo invention girls might like, its like piece of yogo matting i hang of my belt to the back, it doenst bother me skating verts n bowls ;p and it prorects my spinal chord base (coxic) also my ovaries xx

[@dmitrygreenshift9175]

I would say it's a pretty decent game.

[@jbean9021]

Back lip

[@karlcraig7214]

First redo was bullshit

[@brunoosorio8374]

wish harlow win that, so sad

[@noseymosey1556]

Girls skate awkwardly

[@mytorment]

Girls are way better footage than boys.... and im like totally queer :p

[@AspiringSpaceWizard]

Why is The standard for pro female skating so different? Im trying to understand what physical attributes that men have that would make them better ? Strength is part of it im sure but i feel the difference is negligible when it comes to skating? I dont know. Its not basketball where height and strength make a huge difference. Are pads really necessary are 5 foot mini ramp

[@ericc4976]

There are 1000s of male skaters for every female, social draws to extreme sports are less for females, so the amount of women skaters that spend the countless hours of time and effort necessary to become pro is so small in comparison. It's really a numbers game rather than any physical limitations. Thankfully, more women are skating than ever and the bar will be raised faster than before, the skill level in female snowboarding for example is exploding right now

[@jesusislord88]

I've noticed this too, it's even to the point where I usually won't watch any of their comps because, not to be rude, but it feels boring, like they just don't have the drive/energy to really push themselves. I believe it's what they push themselves to do or not do. I was just watching the Japanese females skate at one of their events and really enjoyed it, was able to watch the whole thing, and some were only 12 years old. Almost all of them were trying and landing some really hard tricks closer to the level of the top pro men, and most were skating better than the other "top pro" women of SLS.

[@matildagreene]

It all comes down to representation. The phrase "if you can't see it, you can't be it" comes to mind. It's not that women can't be as good as men (physicality doesn't mean much since preteens are constantly winning contests these days), it's that we haven't seen many women at the top levels of skateboarding until fairly recently with street league and other contests like that, skateboarding was a very male dominated activity for most of it's existence. Women have always skated, but if you don't see pro women killing it then it means that there's much less of a ceiling for girls to aspire to when they start skateboarding. There's also the fact that there's comparatively less women skating compared to men, and when you have a smaller pool of competitors to choose from then the chances of finding a new Nyjah or Rayssa Leal is much lower than if there was a larger pool. There's only a couple young girls like Rayssa, but there's almost endless young boys like Kristion Jordan for example that are skating at the level that they do, this is because there's just more young boys skating than girls. For an opposing example, there's many more talented female gymnasts than there are male gymnasts, because the pool of women gymnasts is much larger. Think about how since street league and most recently the Olympics have happened, the skill of the top pro women has risen dramatically and is progressing comparatively faster than the men, this is because more girls can see girls killing it and thus think "hey I can actually do that too". Give it a few years and I guarantee that thanks to more diverse representation at the top levels of skating we'll see the women be as good as the men. Rayssa Leal is only 15 and she's insanely good, with some time she'll easily be walking all over a lot of pro men. Same with Chloe Covell, or any of the younger girls you see skating contests these days. The women pro scene is barely kicking off and in time it will catch up.

[@sk8_bort]

it probably has to do with self-preservation instinct, testosterone, those kinds of things. 12 year old boys are way better than 25 year old girls, so there has to be something psychological caused by sexual dymorphism, physical attributes do not paint the whole picture at all.

[@BaggyPop]

@@sk8_bort thats the dumbest stuff I read all month

[@bargerkenneth]

Props to Harlow for that last attempt. Gutsy! Update: Just saw all the criticism in the comments for doing different grabs. I can assure you that those are different tricks. Different grab, different trick. Fair play.

[@zyx777zyx]

Agreed. I've tried both variations of that trick. Your balance coming off the coping is different for the mute grab than for the melon grab.

[@Doverbendoverben]

Meh.....

[@jbean9021]

Yeah, but not really. And you know that.

[@sethjohnson4513]

I totally agree. Just like airs. Grab nose, grab tail, grab stalefish, grab mute, grab indy, grab backside. All different grabs, all significantly different tricks.

[@CorzaDaGreat]

This gives the WNBA a run for its money 🤦😂
