What an embarrassment to the world of skateboarding this type of sportsmanship (or lack there of) and reffing is.

[@RobL350]

Joslin arguing would make him look bad and Tyler look good/powerful. If Joslin was actually annoyed with the call, it was smart to not say anything to just have the ref look bad.

​@@saureeeegogo Regardless of there being a happy go lucky make your own rules ref, Tyler totally ignoring his shitty sw back heel is opposite the general mindset of a skater.

[@TheDealer1228]

I said it on the original video and I’ll say it here: Tyler should’ve had more self-respect for his craft and re-did it without the ref agreeing. I’ve called myself out for less in games of skate because I’m not a self-obsessed jerk off. Fact is, if he happens to go all the way and win the whole thing, a lot of people are not going to take it seriously because anyone with a brain could see Joslin’s desire and effort deflated after the ref didn’t even *consider* the flag to watch the replay. Chris gave up the second he was brushed off.

Tyler got that Incrediboy energy

[@ignasdedura4291]

Tyler definitely should have called himself out, but the ref should be the one to blame. The whole point of having a ref is to prevent the competitors from breaking the rules. What's the point when the ref doesn't understand the rules and is unwilling to even reconsider his decision. If you have a rule, it is fare game to use it. This was one of the only times when the challenge flag was used the right way. Joslin had full right to get mad and call out the ref. But it is nice to see him being the bigger person in this situation.

[@ferfi_pgm]

The bad double flips were because he's injured, he says it in the battle rewind video (I guess that's why he changed shoes too)

[@mattbabb.]

Hey! A reasonable explanation! How refreshing

[@frozennorth3426]

One of the most irritating things about that egregious ref move was the flippant dismissal of the notion that Chris Fuckin Joslin might… a. have a clear sense of the BATB rules (he’s been in it for years and was competing under a giant championship banner with his name on it) b. have the experienced eyes that know what skateboarding looks like and Exactly what he is looking at The point is not whether anyone should be a Chris Joslin fan, but that there are few humans more qualified to explain what Is and Is Not a make in that exact competition. For some douche to be like “nAH BrO iTs dEfEnSe!!!” is just insulting. The other day a question was asked that led to a lot of people talking about who would make a good finals night ref. One clown whose name I won’t mention said Steve Berra because he’d be most fair (lol don’t worry - that preposterous answer was mostly handled appropriately by those without their heads in their asses). The real answer?: Chris Joslin, Sewa Kroetkov, Luan Olivera, Chris Cole, Mikemo Capaldi, Jamie Griffin, PJ Ladd, Paul Rodriguez… ^^^ There’s a pattern here. Just pretend you have an ounce of acknowledgement that the person who mastered the event more than anyone else Might actually know how it works better than you, at least enough that you can take a second and ask a couple people “is this guy right? he doesn’t agree with me, but I’m standing under a banner with his name on it…”

[@OrderSnacks]

Real as fuck

[@mfbryan4030]

Great take bro

[@skamarfire]

The problem is Joslin actually was the actual referee in one of Justin Ladner games... Against Mikey Whitehouse in BATB 12. Joslin did 2 atrocius calls against Ladner... Mikey missed the tricks, hands on the ground and everything. Joslin allowed him to redo the tricks because it was defense lol... a blatant bad call by Chris. I'm pretty sure it was a revenge call against Joslin... since they talked about it at one time...

[@frozennorth3426]

@@skamarfire Ok, fair. I re-watched that inconsequential match just for context for your comment, and there were a couple noteworthy calls, neither of which seem to apply here (other than Ladner, who’s not even qualified to be in BATB let alone Ref it, maybe being butthurt because his opponent was forced to re-do defense instead of immediately being denied and given a letter, which is the smallest of possible ref failings because it simply asks for another look before deciding if the defender can do it) - he made Whitehouse re-do two landings where hands touched to prove he can land the trick - he totally let Whitehouse tailskid a landing without a redo where most refs would demand one I will note that the hand-touch thing is a rule that most famously came up when Joslin was a finals night competitor, specifically in a way that he overtly acknowledged it that night …but I don’t know if he just saw himself as acknowledging that it met That Night’s Particular Refs’ standards for the final rounds of maximum significance, or if he interpreted the “hands” thing as an unwritten rule. Regardless, the Written rules are pretty clear: “defensive toe drag has a bigger margins for error”, indicating that Some toe drag can be allowed but that there Is a line. Unarguably Beyond that line is everything Beyond toe drag territory, where the weight falls and plants So Far off the board that all motion stops. There is no reading of the “toe drag” nuance rule that doesn’t automatically fail someone who can’t even get enough of a fraction of their weight on the board to let the toe drag. Tyler blatantly did not make his trick per the rules, and the instant replay that Ladner refused to exercise in service or competitor demand would have absolutely confirmed that, even if he was so blind (or confused about how skateboarding works) as to not see it with his own eyes. Thus, when he was reffing that irrelevant match my morning dump could’ve reffed, it doesn’t seem like Joslin was unclear at all about what constitutes a Make (at worst just taking a forgiving stance in the grey area of what’s allowed a demanded re-do) …and he certainly didn’t completely refuse to even Consider a video review when anyone threw a challenge flag (nobody disputed any of his calls even though it was BATB12 which was during the current era of challenge flags) So, I don’t see anything hypocritical in Joslin’s part from the one match to the other, or even any reason for Ladner to be butthurt. However, I do acknowledge that being butthurt is not a rational thing and people can be butthurt for any reason, and without any good reason. [note: this is where my reply tangented into a rant that is absolutely not a reply or statement to you. you made a great observation I appreciate. l just apparently had additional stuff to talk about…] The point isn’t that Joslin was right or wrong, but that: 1. Joslin was right (ok sorry I said it) 2. Ladner didn’t understand the rules 3. Despite the rules, Ladner doesn’t understand what a Make is even in the most casual and informal sense, to the point where it is only video evidence that convinces me he’s probably ridden a skateboard before 4. Ladner didn’t even rule on the challenge, but instead invented a rule where all defense is always successful (such that even challenging defense immediately struck him as “wasting” a challenge. 5. Ladner didn’t even look at a video review in case he’d been blind or confused, despite the flag compelling him to do so (ANOTHER rule he proudly had zero comprehension of) 6. Ladner didn’t even ask anyone present what to do in what might have been a confusing grey area (because he was too arrogantly mistaken to question whether he was being a moron) 7. Berra watched it all and knew exactly what happened and said nothing (Berra’s gotta Berra) 8. Peterson missed the trick and then tic-tacked away with a bitch-ass “I didn’t land it but daddy said to take what I can get” expression Regardless, it doesn’t matter who reffed that match because neither of those skaters were even close to among the top 64 flatground skaters in the world nor had any business being in a premiere flatground competition. They were just roped into the BATB12 “community” (lol) concept designed to optimize service of business objectives by max incorporation of (a) the Cariuma team, and (b) social media influencers who could bring sizable audiences of children in the Cariuma target demographic. Remember when the Berrics produced a joke skit video with MikeMo as a ref trainer, based on the idea that referees were trained to understand the rules and make good calls, and the premise of the joke was that Berra would ever care enough to expect referees adhering to the rules, or want a legitimate competition enough to demand it? Yeah. That was funny. 10/10 God I wish anyone other than the stupidest dumpster fire in the skateboarding world could and would assemble world-class flatground skaters for head-to-head competition. One (Berra) could say “Oh yeah? Well, haters gotta hate, and everyone thinks running a competition is easy until they do it themselves, and sports refereeing always seems simple til reality sets in…” …but tell me, after the last hundred controversies about shamelessly (and suspiciously corrupt) BS reffing at BATB: What’s the last ref controversy you remember in King/Queen of MACBA? What’s the last ref controversy you remember in Slides and Grinds? What’s the last ref controversy you remember in éS Game of Skate? These violations of basic competitive legitimacy aren’t on a nuanced level where opinionated haters nit-pick arbitrary details. Everyone’s just saying: “Please just have an ounce of fucking dignity. Please just don’t use your (dwindling) audience to make a point of how much of a steaming shit you can take on the skaters in that audience, rubbing their face in the fact that their views are nothing to you more than a sponsor-rewarded buck. Please just barely do enough that we can lie to ourselves and pretend we’re fans of a non-joke run by people who aren’t POSs. Please.” /rant

Dumb data is right, that if the ref did not challenge Chris when throwing the flag, then the results might have been different.

Now it’s so serious that Joslin has to hype the crowd up? People want to win so much it’s taking the joy out while we watch bad sportsmanship in general season after season.

J Lad got a Venmo notification from Cariuma for an undisclosed amount as soon as Tyler “landed” the sw bs heel.

[@phantumTom]

Even as a casual fan like myself, that foot kickstand i mean touch was absolutely egregious whether or not that was “defense” pure fookery on that one

[@TomásBotelho-g4l]

wait, who is tyler peterson?

[@PHeMoX]

No cut away footage would justify this referee nonsense though. And yes, this is 'Cariuma bros' helping each other out IMHO. Dafuq did he ignore a flag for that is clearly meant for a referee to evaluate their call (as in, using actual video playback I'd assume). Might even be by orders of grumpy old Steve. Not even kidding. Keep in mind Steve assumed some of his Cariuma pupils would easily beat skaters like Jaimy. And they got destroyed. @6:00 It has a lot to do with the Berrics videos moving to their/a paid platform, before showing up on KZbin. Perhaps half or more of all views are now on that paid platform. I kind of doubt it, but there is no linear relation to how there are less views now, apart from the usual bs of poor refereeing and just in general bad match-ups, invitations, bad mouthing by Berra and so on. The concept also is in desperate need of a refresher. Too many broken rules. Too much nonsense that isn't followed properly, so what's the point of rules then?

[@paulanthony1689]

A variable is missing in this analysis: Joslin was injured. If you watch the pre-game interview, Chris said he couldn't flick properly. As soon as I heard that, knew he was done for, bad call or not.

[@dadboard]

At this point the berrics is so corrupted by cariuma and a gross track record of nepotism I think somebody else needs to step in and organize a new yearly game of SKATE. Doubt anyone’s jumping at the idea but someone could do it.

[@andrewdobosz3682]

Berra lookin like stoop kid before he left his stoop, and that damn cariuma logo gives me nightmares. This is what happens when you take something entertaining and make it completely unwatchable. Also dumb data I like these breakdowns, I think you got something with this

[@alexvankirk6652]

I really hate how much this shoe brand is making contest viewing of all types unenjoyable. I've only seen like two pairs of them in real life ever, and out of the 14 skate shops in my state, only one of them carries their shoes. How does this company have the money to sponsor these skaters and events when nobody sells their shoes and nobody wears them that isn't paid to or given them for free?

[@normanl.6891]

They aren't a skateboarding shoe company. They are a shoe company that is buying its way into skateboarding. They have separate shoes that they market to normal ppl through social media and celebrity influencers

Joslin had an injury preventing him from doing double flips as stated in the pre game video.

Get Steve back to ref so we can also have a 15 minute monologue about how steve loves steve

So are we all gonna ignore 6:47 where joslin does the exact same thing that Tyler did that you're all saying a skater with integrity would redo? Huh. Weird.

Someone else should come up with the tournament that has at least a minimum standard when it comes to cleaning tricks up and more focus on style when it comes to choosing the contestants.

[@humanbean3]

berrics is just begging for someone to put up some money and produce a legit skate tournament.

[@groovefretboard]

I think it might be a good idea to bring an extra skinny board to get those double flips. There’s no rule against it. Way easier to fling a 7.5” dub especially if you suck at them and can just Hail Mary it

[@eatassonthefirstdate]

7.625x30.5 lol old school zoo York shit like its '98 n shit💯my old Jeff pang deck was so small but it Tre flipped so smoothly it was like in slow mo every time I scooped one I swear

[@zkipa]

joslin was skating on an injured ankle and the injury prevented him from being able to flick the doubles hard enough. he tried but knew it was going to be a hard battle not at 100%. i dont think it was because he was tilted about the call

[@BulletProofBacon]

“This cursed game”

[@davidmcinturff13]

Agreeee totally Cariuma definitely has been a big part of the last 2 batb.

[@debomb721]

That wasn’t the worst call. Worst call was counting mark sucius nollie bs 3 heel on defense. His whole foot was on the ground and he picked his foot off the ground so I don’t even think it’s a land but it counted no redo

[@frozennorth3426]

nope

Did you not watch the pregame interview where joslin said he was hurt and can’t do double flips well right now??

[@jakubbriza7274]

One thing is winning the trophy, the second thing is to win an audiance and build up your fan club. Have zero respect for Peterson after this match (the same way with Mr. Griffiondor and his unbelievable 360s) and much respect and love for Chris Joslin, who truly loves skateboarding and who has done so much for the scene and the culture.

[@sepiarain]

Enjoy your analysis and knew you'd have a lot to say about this toe touch... I'm just not sure if it's specifically cariuma, or just the cariuma bro camaraderie which is intensifying the flex.

Guess this is what they meant by Battle at the Berrics "Freedom"
