PJ Ladd vs. Nyjah Huston: GAME OF SKATE SEMIFINALS | World of X Games

[@yourfriendalejo]

"Hold up PJ. Hold up PJ" Still does his trick. What a beast.

[@RyanSmith-sg2sb]

MrMezican What a douchebag

[@yourfriendalejo]

RYANRRAGE lol I would have done the same. The replays get annoying. Save that crap for later.

[@MIKEK3NT]

Don't forget the moment where PJ did a nollie big heel and a fakie big heel back to back

[@Paul-Denton_NYCNET]

I don't get why the ref and the commentators are the same people. This is the reason why you separate them.

[@Treeezplz]

MrMezican and nyjah didn't want it counted cuz of that. Nyjah lame af for that one.

[@qulpe]

Referee "Nollie Tre flip Half Cab" *Some kid from the crowd* "It's called a Big Flip!"

[@donovinskates0062]

When is that

[@jj_volt]

Riley Murphy 8:27

[@EaterofWorlds-DN]

I can't hear the kids response.

[@andreszapata6051]

But it was a Nollie Bigger Flip🤔

[@yce.info.]

you can tell the refs don’t skate cuz you can’t do a nollie half cap tre flip, anything nollie trick done in fakie is just switch

[@5teeleDuke]

I literally laugh my ass off every time the announcers tell them to quit skating so they can show a replay, what moron thought of that lol

[@crabPEOPLE2000]

I know right? Imagine them pulling this shit in the middle of a live basketball, football, baseball or any other game.

[@PleaseTellMomThisIsNotHerFault]

Steele Duke 5:54 Even PJ ignored them when they told him to stop.

[@douglaswares5614]

I remember this Yeah Nyjah looks pissed when they told him to stop Before the nollie front foot flip than he missed it.. haha rightfully so tho.. was a shitty set up

[@ballisliferjs]

It was live. They had to

[@ballypoo]

What's with the random crowd of people who look like they have no idea what's going on.. they should invite skaters or something people who actually want to watch

[@Aaronn14]

If they didn't want to watch why would they be there?

[@slowpoke126]

Something people love to watch something but are so hard to find. Do you want them to send you plane ticket with the invite? Just to make sure only people who can at least ride down there driveway are in the crowd.

[@RmX.]

Where's the Braille Army?

[@ShadomanG]

I hear u but naw man that makes little sense. Part of the allure & excitement is watching ppl do things u have NEVER seen or couldn’t do yourself. I live near Venice Beach & watching those guys skate at that skate park is exciting af even if I couldn’t tell u the name on one trick (draws a HUGE crowd every time)

[@jonathanbermudez1111]

Skateboarders can't afford espn events

[@pyromaniacX647]

i hate hating but the ref and the crowd suck, calling the wrong trick and having him do it twice and then not giving him a redo when he doesnt pivot the whole way. Plus the crowd is full of non-skaters that gave no hype

[@Grandyboy17]

I completely agree with you. I'm only watching this because PJ's skating is such a rare commodity.

[@theren8311]

TyeIV TyeIV 1. That crowd is there because they wanted to be there. 2. How do you know they don't skate? Because they don't have a board in their hand? 3. You clearly don't know the rules to offensive tricks as it relates to pivots and toe drags. I suggest watching battle at the berrics. They read out the rules every game, and this comp follows those same rules.

[@hateatchee7508]

1. I cant say anything about if the crowd wants to be there or not, but they sure are quiet. 2. though we don't know for sure, they are calling out the wrong trick names so it can be safely assumed that their interest in skateboarding is less than those who know the correct trick names. 3. in battle at the berrics, it clearly states in the rules that everything will be ultimately decided by the referee. Some refs let the sketch slide, others like their games cleaner than your teeth after a trip to teh dentist.

[@lous8619]

I'm from Connecticut also and there's plenty of real skate fans here trust me. I have no clue what was with this crowd! Must have been friends and family of ESPN employees.

[@UnAnsweredSolution]

How have I never seen a professional game of skate before this is pure entertainment

[@johnc7709]

"Nyjah, Nyjah, hold on hold on" " PJ, PJ, hold on hold on!" 😑 Shat tha fak up! lol

[@NARRISS]

RIGHT?

[@RickR22]

+Johnathan Cruickshank you forget that they have make xgames a show for everyone to enjoy... not everyone watching are skateboarders so replays allow the new comers to enjoy the game of skate as well that cant see the trick as fast as most of us.

[@thenout]

everyone can see that. yet there's more to skateboarding. this whole event is as far away from a relaxed session as can be, so it's in a skater's blood to not give a shit about that crap and have some fun, while xgames has them parade around like a bunch of circus elephants.

[@RickR22]

true... but hey at the end of the day it becomes a job and not just your normal "relaxed session" as they skating to represent themselves (become more famous) more fame means more money and also repping their sponsors. Also i guess xgames whether they like it or not xgames ganna do what they want to make them money their own way.

[@michaeldabrethren2812]

So?

[@TheMyronStube]

I like how all the posers cheer for nyjah but they don't know pj ladd is a beast

[@danielbenson6407]

lord myron i like how this douche makes presumptions about large groups of people. fucking tosser.

[@nyrbsamoht]

Daniel Benson i think its a safe bet that nyjah fan base includes more posers than p.j's ur needlessly aggressive

[@jamesonwahlquist2858]

I think that the only reason why nyjah has a big fan base is because of energy drinks I bet nobody except maybe a couple people have even seen pjs's famous part (if u don't know what I'm talking about then just leave the skate community!!!)

[@nyphon]

lord myron anyone at xgames is a beast, even the guy that comes in last place.

[@nyrbsamoht]

nyjah tre flip is so effortless, so relaxed, its like he freezes in the air while the board spins, amazing.

[@itscrimmy2595]

[@KarlusAcid]

+WindyHeights oh yea i think exactly the same.

[@bongcrusha420]

yeah the wrong callouts and him asking for them to stop every few tricks.. just let them fucking skate and if replays are that needed just add a delay to the video feed for the people not there

[@jameswhite190]

1. The replays are for the people at the event as much as they are for us. 2. It's not his fault dipshit, he gets told when to pause the game.

[@kujalite]

The sportmanship is just amazing

[@itscrimmy2595]

kujalite thats how skateboarding is. its all about coming together and having a good time. it doesnt matter who you are or where you're from. if you skate we instantly connect. it's not about who's better it's about having a good time with the homies.

[@sonofgod6717]

took me 2 hours to ollie and 2 hours to kick flip and 5 hours to 360 flip. After 1 year of skateboarding i was already sponsor by a boardshop.

At 5:50 their like fakie 540 shuv it, first these refs prolly don't skate and second evidently if u do a fakie bigspin with an extra shuv, aka fake 360 pop shuv it and half cab its fakie 540 bigspin not a 540 shuv it.

[@adamaiman7794]

or fakie biggerspin

[@4thmarine57]

Yeah, I guess.

[@MrNickrandi]

the ref (jason rothmeyer) was a pro in the nineties, some tricks names were a bit different, for example there was no biggerspin, however he spelt wrong some tricks as the fs nollie heel that he called an halfcab (??) nollie heel

[@mowapmx65]

I think the ref knows more than you

[@cesarcervantes6997]

You all remember the és games of skate from the early 2000's when the crowd was full of sweaty skaters up to the contenders ballsack, where the contest was so loud everybody's vx footage was clipping, and the crowds oohs, and oh's would ebb back and forth with the quick rhymtic progression of the game? Where you didn't get two tries on the last trick, were bound to get a shinner if someone slipped out, and where you could hoist your favorite pros up when they fell off the sidelines because they were the people you admired, not corporate brand ambassadors. Not even the berrics, as good as their coverage is, can capture that feeling. it used to be a real underground fight club.
