The Most Epic Battle In BATB History

The premise of 2014's “Pros vs. Joes,” our seventh season of BATB, was simple: unknowns go up against the best in the biz. It was also the first Battle At The Berrics Finals to be broadcast live. So, when Michigan’s Cody Cepeda pulled off an upset against odds-on favorite Luan Oliveira the whole world could experience the resulting mayhem in The Berrics. The crowd of fans jumped off the bleachers; the stampede knocked all the barriers over. The 1,000 or so fans in the arena joined hundreds of thousands more who were glued to their screens, witnessing history in the making. Well, that’s definitely one way to get known.

Cepeda and Oliveira both returned in 2018 for BATB 11. This time, Oliveira rolled away with the vic—he's still our reigning champ.

Should be a new rule for Luan:

"No taking your tricks to the moon and back if your opponent merely popped his trick".

everytime I see luan he's always stoked and clapping for the other guys, the dude comes off humble n kool af.

Luan's tricks are prototypical. They are the most perfect versions of the trick possible.

Berra: unfortunately all tricks must be done at under 40 mph.
Luan: [frowns in Portuguese]

So crazy that Cody didn’t miss a trick considering this was the final! Amazing battle!

[luudest]

Better than any other sports show: No commentators, no stadion speakers. Just a pure battle and a hooting crowd!

[kablekable]

Ah yes the one with the classic comment: "weed vs cocaine"

[itisjustacomment]

This shows you how different skaters are, they cheer both sides and clap each other.
No rivalry or favourites shows just great sports men and appreciation of skills

Man I still remember sitting in history class hiding my phone under my hoodie watching this when it went down. Still blows my mind

[surrealisticinfinity]

Cody Cepeda was unstoppable during BATB7. He didnt miss a single trick during the whole final. Cody had to win against Trent McClung, Shane O' Neill, Tom Asta and Sewa Kroetkov to reach this final.

The Most Epic Reaction to a Pressure Flip in BATB History

[safalpun]

I totally agree on this comment “ Man bring back Johnny Giger

[maxackerman]

Man I love Luans skateboarding as much as the next dude, but I still have gained mad respect for Cody here. Comes into this tournament as a Joe and just takes it all. Drops double flips left and right and has such a deep bag of tricks and doesnt choke at all in this final. I know he does not pop it as high as Luan (who does really lol), but its consistent and clean.

[topsykretts]

Crazy; not only did he blank Luan, he didnt even give him a turn, in the Finals. Crazy! Guess Cepeda knew that if Luan had a turn it was probably over. Cepeda GOATed for this.

Dylan Jaeb let's get a BATB with him..he is insanely good

[thabisozungu]

Luan has such a sick style, i love how hard he pops

[KushalGaikwad]

And people says Michael Jackson is KING of POP 😈

[jlin]

Watched this a few times over the years. The fact that Cody held court the whole match speaks volumes. But lets get real.. Cody wasn't no avg joe even back then. Dude has mad skills.

[sheldonconk]

Holy 💩, remember when we’d all squeeze into an event like this?
