Women's BATB

Nah I’ve got high hopes. Judging by insta stuff recently there’s some amazing girls out there that will get a chance to shine

There was a really random “skate polo” thing on the berrics the other day. Koston threw out a pressure flip and a girl (name forgotten) did it back faster and better. This is what I mean, all over insta there’s some ridiculousness getting done but the names aren’t coming out yet, hopefully something like this gives a platform for more sponsorship places

I wonder if the prize money is the same?

Really? It was better than the first male BATB.

No offence dude but what the fuck were you expecting? There was no need to even express that reaction as a comment. We all know the level that womens skating is at so this is an exact playout of what we should expect. And that is not aimed to be a diss, just reality and i’m stoked on it.
To me personally, the level is high and to be honest, it’s not even about the tricks, it’s about it happening in the first place.
Also i’m pretty sure Lacey would have beaten most of us in here.
I can imagine the YT comments on this too, boys being totally jealous that people lower than their level of flatground skating are being represented.
Fuck those dudes.

It was loads shitter - what you on about ? You absolute mong.

That grip job was absolute dog shit

Twice as many tricks landed in the women’s = better.

You just can’t help being a sexist relic from a previous age can you?

I seem to remember some other unacceptably shit posts from you. Once is a mistake to learn from, twice is a worrying lack of self awareness, continually doing it is just the sign of a pretty lame person.


I didn’t want this to end, great game.

Just coming in to post that. Agree, I wish skate had more letters so we could see a game go further. This was so rad, that Nollie heelflip was glorious.

Dunno what peeps are moaning about. These have been a lot more fun than a lot of the blokes games. Some quality tricks in there as well

Obviously everyone is aware the technical standard isn’t as high in women’s skating yet, for a myriad of reasons, but this is more important in terms of representation and exposure.

Plus, not every dude who’s skated in BATB has been a Luan or a PJ level… Berra’s early games come to mind

I was aiming at you, but then in general at the end of my comment. Maybe you should have thought about your timing a little. This was the first game and your comment reads as a direct diss at the quality. If a game in particular is boring to you then at least express that when we’re a good way in to the comp when you have seen a better representation of what the levels are. What if no other game shows anything more interesting to you? You have basically expressed your dislike of all the skating from these people from the get go.

Margie has some solid tricks as in well executed.
