- Äas pĆidĂĄn 26. 11. 2021
- Back in 2008, Eric Koston and Mike Mo Capaldi played the first game of S.K.A.T.E. at The Berrics. Soon after, BATB was born and Capaldi became its first champion. 14 years later, these two icons stepped in the arena again for BATB 12. Will one of them make it to Finals Night?

How'd you like Mo & Koston's battle? đ
Like? Try love
Anything with Mike Mo is a W
Really happy to see Mo on the board heâs the best
Likely the most heartwarming game of skate to take place at BATB. Mike Moâs return, the call back to BATB game one, Kostonâs son reffing, too much to love about this game
Two legends having fun.
When you land a new trick first try, even though one of your foot is paralysed, you know you have earnt your place in the icons section. True legend. Loved the game.
He even landed it better than Koston! Haha
@@dontcallmegus yeah it was buttery as, insane level right there. A true inspiration.
@@ashleybrown4754 Well I'm sure that if I ever tried I would need ten thousand tries at least, not one like him haha
Modern medical science is amazing. His ankle contraption is nuts.
Seems like your brain was paralyzed when you typed this...
Wtf Mike Mo lands a first try Nollie backfoot impossible with one ankle when he's never done one before. Insanity.
Mike mo... not much more need to be said
Bro my mind was blown
I was like brooooo whaaaaat
And it was cleaner than kostons!
You also can't forget Mike mo is skating on a paralyzed foot, so that's even more crazy
I know that Mo got a career ending injury essentially, and everyone in the comments is mentioning how insane his ability still is. I agree, but surprised to see that there aren't really many comments about Koston. Eric Koston is almost 50 years old. Every time I see him in videos over the past several years, it's usually on tour videos and he's not really skating. If he is skating, it's usually in a kind of half joking manner, with a lot of late 80's throwback style tricks (which he's always had in the bag of course, just watch Chomp on This, and you'll see). I grew up with Koston, he is the #1 street skate legend in my opinion (I'm sure Mo would probably put him at least in top three for sure). To see Koston warm up like that, and eventually really start to throw down some tricks with serious pop and style, absolutely made my day. I just didn't know if he still had the flat ground in him, very happy to see that he can rip it. Go Koston, of course you're amazing as well Mike! One of the most entertaining games I've seen, and I loved to see Mo get dirty with the rules, that was funny.
Damn, he really is going on 47 now. Time flies. That was some crazy good flatground considering.
You are right.
Street skating wouldn't look or feel the same without Eric Koston.
Koston was always on the covers of the magazines back in the days
Also I was noticing how rock solid his footwork is. Compared to mike mo who has a littler more fancier foot work. So impressive
Koston being reffed by his son is the most wholesome viewing. Amazing game, got me right in the feels
Indeed. And the son did a great, impartial job too!
like whole foods?
Itâs crazy watching Mike Mo skate knowing what happened with his injury. Youâd never know watching this. Still makes it look effortless
What happened?
@@patrickwa9235 he crashed a golf cart and his foot got paralyzed
What's up Rabea! You're my favourite guitar player!
He said he's gonna be sore for a week after this
Yeah he went from the top to unable to skate for a long time Iâm glad heâs doing better
It doesn't matter what comes next, this is the best game of batb12. Just for the sheer amount of inspiration, happiness and good vibes coming out the screen.
Exactly what I was going to say!
Word up
Yes!
facts!
Seeing mo land a new trick is awesome. He should skate with Eric more
Sick one and super fun. Best part is Mike Mo landing the Nollie back foot impossible perfectly first t
That back foot impossible was nuts. This one coulda went either way
That nollie back foot impossible was incredible! I jumped out of my seat lol.
GG!
Absolutely, I yelled âOH!â So loud I freaked out my dog đ
Naw itâs all about that switch ollie đ
real legend
I'm 26 years old and these guys were such big inspirations to me in my teen years... so great to see them still killin it together!
Yeeah dude I'm 25 and was so happy to see this game! Miss these guys being the regulars at The Berrics!!
All the First Try Fridays, Chris Cole's Battle Royale, Skate or Dice! Good old Berrics content
25 and same
wow..also 25. these two dudes were a huge inspiration
Same here for me man, those we're the dĂąys
"Do [people] remember me"? Dude Mike Mo you are a frickin legend. Of course do people remember you. Your way of getting back on board and spreading good vibes was and is inspirational for a whole generation of skateboarders! Kudos to both of you guys, love seeing you having fun on the board!
Yeah Mike mo you rule.
Mo, how can we forget two skate GODS?
I still watch his Fully Flared part almost every time before I go skate.
This man is an all time great with one of the best styles
Legit makes me want to start skating again and I'm a 35 year old fatass these days.
This game put such a big smile on my face. Two of the greatest skaters ever enjoying being on their boards. Awesome
What I LOVE about this game is that Eric Koston and Mike Mo were genuinely having fun. The competition was there, but it was healthy. Thatâs what skateboarding is all about. Amazing skaters: Amazing people
Yeah, Mike Mo played a bit dirty (with Nollie Heel * 3, with Cab Flip after truce and trying to get another letter out of Varial Heel ) but he did it with a smile, and Koston didn't seem to care too much.
It was great to see them having so much fun.
This comment on repeat
I love mike mo so much man, itâs bittersweet seeing him skate again. He canât really skate as well as he used to due to his foot, but Iâm so happy he can still have fun doing things
Did anyone else relate WAY too hard when Koston missed the fakie tre and immediately tried to defend himself by saying "I did one earlier"
this entire game was so relatable. homies going back and forth on the same trick, throwing in a couple bullshit fun tricks, redoing passing tricks because they were sketchy, trying new tricks... i love it
I would relate if I could tre flip. Been skating for years and Iâm still terrible at em. Probably doesnât help that Iâm skating a 10 rn though đđđ
@@tommycampanis867 go a size down on your board
I haven't laughed so hard at a game of skate in awhile. These two are class acts and pure legends
the ??? made me jump and scream, think about Eric loosing to it haha
@@jDDignity lmao yea I was rolling.. and the "alright no Caballerial flips"- Koston
*busts out a clean caballerial flip*- Mike Mo
*slams board down*- Koston. I lost it lolol
It was great. I love how they were having fun, teaching each other tricks, and landing gnarly tricks on first try.
When Mike Mo launched his skateboard at the scoreboard đ
Legends? Far from it
Thank you Mike Mo and Eric for doing this! 30 years old and grew up watching you guys. This made me so happy
Itâs games like this thatâs kept me watching all these years, thanks for the inspiration to keep pushing and having fun! đđœâ€ïž
So sick to see Mike back at it! Still a million times better than I'll ever be
Who are the 5 best rappers of all time?
@@sean78745 he must be a 69 fan
@@sean78745 Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan because he spits hot fire
@@JosePerez-iz6wo ??
I canât overstate enough how much it blows my mind that Mike Mo is able to do what he can do with one foot. I wish we could fix it for him.
Sameee đđđ
Dude same! Some fancy medicine or stem cell injections or something could help? I sadly don't know enough in that field :/
so much fun watching these greats! thanks so much!đđŸ
Love this.
Thanks for making it happen all involved!
It's crazy how Mike Mo has the same outfit for over 10 years
Yea this makes my day. Two of the coolest skateboarders in the history of skateboarding having fun and going at it. Thank you guys
this was the BEST GAME SO FAR. two LEGENDS here. what a game man, thx for the upload.
Thanks for doing this. Good game - it was worth it!
Im really sad this could be Mike MoÂŽs last game on the batb and seeing him land that nollie back front foot impossible was really inspiring considering i have had a foot injury for a while aswell. I loved this game, and still happy for Eric
@@thaibaby86 thank god you warned me, I never knew comments could be about the actual video I'm watching
@@thaibaby86 why would you read the comments before watching the video
@@ottojagenstedt9740 no one forced you to read the comments before watching the video
Didn't mike mo say he'll be back near the end of the video?
@@billybobthekidiswack Exactly, why do people actually do that?
Seeing Mike Mo skate is a win, gotta love that guy, Koston as well they both killed it! So blessed to witness this happen
Otc I love this video. Wholesome, man I was a kid watching the first game. Love yâall.
perfect battle between old friends, no pressure, just messing around. after all the battles this was the one i liked the most. i felt 10 years younger. thank you.
Iâve never laughed so hard watching any batb. The 3 repeat nollie heel flips; Mike Mo throwing the cab flip hammer right after the truce. Haha priceless. Amazing battle with amazing legends
Dude, best game so far. Seeing Mike Mo skate is so sick.
Loved watching these two skate! So great to see Koston back on a board and KILLING IT! Usually when you see him on a board in recent years, he's chill and just screwing around. Seeing him throw down some serious tricks and bring back that style got me really excited! The energy between Koston and Mo is always awesome!
That was by far the best game of skate I have sent in years. Two guys just actually having fun and enjoying what we love about skateboarding in all.
*Koston's Son as referee > Everyone including Steve Berra*
Thatâs harsh
that kid is the best ref in batb history
Mike Mo: âCan I point out a rule flaw in here, just for fun?â
(Proceeds to exploit rule flaw)
Very fun game, though I was worried about Moâs foot when he bailed and ran up the stairs!
One of the best recent battles, true legends just mixing it up and having fun
There's something beautiful seeing their first battle in 360p, and now over a decade later, the berrics _still_ upload 80% of their content like it was filmed on a sony handicam in 360p.
Just seeing Mike Mo skate is enough to make my day. He was one of my favorites when I first got into skating and he always will be.
Winner in Flynn!!
I can't imagine any video of BTAB12 being more entertaining or wholesome than this, much love!
Awesome to see Mo skating. Mo will always be one of my favorites, dating all the way back to his Forecast part. If Atiba took photos of you skating, you were something special.
That was amazing, nostalgia over 9000! When Mo landed that nollie backfoot impossible i was dying with laughter and excitement. Epic match with two epic skaters đđ€
It's amazing that even with one foot out of commission, Mo could destroy so many people in the bracket...
I could see him winning
Legendary game, will be coming back to this for years to come.
this was such a great game. loved the vibes. i also canât believe mike mo still skates at that level with his injury. insane!
Mike Mo actually did the same repeat trick cheat that Chris Roberts teach him in the last BATB
He also did the Crob one knee ride away while sweeping the ground with his hand from that battle. I loved it.
*Pro Tip: Look at the duration of the video first and you'll smile.*
This was absolutely bonkers.
And I loved every minute of it.
I remember watch Mike Mo interview on The nine club talked about his injury that he couldnât skate and his eyes tell that he want to skate or donât wanna talk about skate because itâs hurt. To see him skate again is an inspiration to me and all the people. Mo KNOWS And of course Koston is a legend still.
Itâs about time someone realized you could repeat tricks
You really canât tho, would repeat tricks on a game of skate with your homies? Do you really have to state that you canât do repeated tricks?
Lol it's not in the rules đ€·đŒââïž
@@commentator2.0 lol maybe when youâre like 12!
@@ryandeelena6707 lol itâs a unwritten rule
some even rematch 3 out of 3 without using already landed tricks, so this rule is an unwritten everyone knows not to do rule.
Bringing tears to my eyes, these two are absolute legends! Itâs great to see them skating together, and still teaching each other tricks!
This was such a good game. Crazy talent and overall good vibes!
Two of my all time heroâs, so good seeing Mike mo skate man I hope this helps him realise that heâs still amazing at skating â€ïž best game of the berrics
I don't care that Mike Mo lost. Just seeing him skate again was amazing!
Dude, seeing mike mo back in the berrics is a dream come true! when i started skating, he was THE guy. love this dude
Thankful for this skate battle!!!! Makes me so happy to see Mike Mo skating!!!!
What an epic battle. Best one yet! So funny too! Great job legends!
Two legends. Of course we remember you man, you're one of the greatest and one of my inspirations to start skating +10 years ago.
Finally a new BATB is released! Made my day! Thank you Berrics â€ïž
Love how mo is still hard on himself with his trick form just like back in the day regardless of the injury. Great to see these legends battle it out again đ
By far the best match Iâve ever watched, my favorite skateboarders ever!
This game brought back memories! Mike mos forecast part is still one of my favorites! It was cool to see him hold his own out there with his handicap!
Injured or not EVERYONE loves seeing Mike Mo skate, what an absolute G!
Remember watching that first game years ago. Brought a tear to my eye to watch this one. It's been long time, And we've all gotten older now. Great game.
Ohhhhh this was warming for the heart. A blast from the past Mo has always been one of my favorites. I love that it ended with the same trick that ended the first ever one. Johnny Ramano is coming to the park!
Two legends having fun with a piece of wood with weels. Love these guys
Oh my days. This could be the best game of the century. I canât wait to see it
Edit: told you
seeing these names i assumed the berrics would have a massive crowd watching in person... man id be there in a heartbeat if i could. love these dudes
One of the best battles Iâve watched if not the best!!
I'm seeing a pattern here of Mike Mo being involved in some of the funniest games so far. His battle with Crob was also legendary.
Some real laugh out loud moments in this one. First, that second nollie heel, then that series of failed caballerial kickflips, and finally when Koston's kid went, "The first one was good." LOL đ
this was amazing. loved seeing the old footy mixed in there. such a classic
This game made me so happy. Mad respect to both these legends.
Mike mo is and will forever be my favorite skater. Can't forget what we seen growing up
âTruce: No more can flips!â
Mike Mo proceeds to do a cab flip.
Remembering how i use to watch these guys years ago just having fun with it đŻâ€ïž
Respect for both skaters reminding us all that skateboarding is supposed to be fun no matter what level you were or are on currently. 2 legends hands down brought back good memories
I hope mike reads this comments and the amount of love heâs getting! Weâll deserved Mo!!! No cars gooo đ€đŒâ„ïž
It makes me happy to see MikeMo skateâ€ïž and even with a paralyzed foot he still kills it. Always will be one of my favorites!
Seeing this was definitely some good closure for me on Mike Mo. After the injury you wondered when he was gonna return and then when he explained it on the nine club you realized heâs lucky to be able to walk. Glad heâs still out there having fun, and flashes of his natural talentđ€
Made my day! Happy to see them in skating all these years â€ïž
Man I remember being a kid looking up to Mike and his skating. So cool to see him back on the board killing it as usual!
This game made me happy. So stoked to see Mike Mo skating! He will always be one of my favorites!
love it and everything about it, so awesome seeing the both mo and koston!
11 minute match on my birthday! Best birthday ever!â€ïž
I've never been more happy watching a BATB. Mike Mo was my idol growing up, I only skated Girl boards and his personality and being one of the best flat ground skaters, he is just such an easy going guy. SO happy watching him skate again. AND that freaking nollie impossible?!? bruh
In a world of corona and lockdowns, we all need a bit of nostalgic 2008 reenactment BATB between two legends who defined skating, and in many ways, our appreciation for it during probably some of the best times of our lives
Always a pleasure to see you Eric. When you are skating, it's super great. Thanks to the two of you. Y
The battle, the show was incredibly satisfyingđđ
Mike mo literally has a peg leg & hasnât skated in years(with the exception of messing around here & there)but he killed the majority of the Influencer bracket before he even got the letter S
Epic battle đđ„
THIS was worth the wait. ... Bonus icing : great ref choice. Cheers
still happy and fun watching them but still feeling a battle is happening that's why they are pro 4ever, thank you berrics
The best 11 minutes and 45 seconds of 2021 :') Fully Flared still remains my all time favourite skate film and it's because of these two right here!
This was uplifting and humbling to watch. Seeing these two legends have a fun af game, no crowd and no other bs, was amazing to watch.
Amazing one !! Legends here !!
best game ever, had a big smile on my face while watching
WOW ! It was so great to watch Mike Mo instantly learning how to Nollie backfoot impossible with Koston explaining the trick to him. Happy friendly game and BOTH killed it !
I know we are all thinking this, seeing Mo skate was just flat-out amazing! Miss skating with you Mo.
Sooo good to watch! Great to see Mo
again! Both legends
This was great, love both of them!
That nollie heel thrice in a row was rly funny haha. Always thought that one could just do one kickflip over and over til the other loses.
