[christopherchann]

[yannhk]

where is Jim Bates now??!

[Schander]

Good question...

[obieonepc]

Jim Bates = The Most Underrated Skateboarder of All Time.

[BrokenArmAny1]

" Skateboarding Teaser Round lake skatepark"

[Zerosoldierboarder]

was everybody surprised jim beat jimmy?

[Schander]

No so much surprised... just very disappointed.

[Zerosoldierboarder]

@Schander I hate his style and I wanted to see jim not win, jimmy is my favriote skater out there and he was doing these tricks before others did, but appartently jim knew so fuck, I wish jimmy could of did his impossible late flip, nollie and switch hards, 360 hard, frontside cab heelflips or something, hes got so much steeze to lose to that bastard, did your friend beat tetzua though? I got confused

[Schander]

Hehe, yes he did... he lost against Jack Crook.

[Zerosoldierboarder]

@Schander How? Can he do nollie hards and tetzuas crazy shit? I'm not saying hes bad at all, I'm saying you have to be pretty good to beat him

[Schander]

Well, I don't really remember how it all went down exactly... but there's probably no trick in the world I know of that Sewa can't do. At least not nowadays, back then he had his flaws of course.

[Zerosoldierboarder]

@Schander like big double flips, big spin hards and inward heels, bigspin dolphin flips, 720 double flips, any of those?

[Schander]

Quite probably, if you'd give him a couple of tries... but what the heck is a dolphin flip? ^^

[Zerosoldierboarder]

@Schander A varial flip off the nose more creating a more inbetween the legs flip that has a unique look

[Schander]

Ah, okay then =)

[Zerosoldierboarder]

@Schander I'm sure anybody could do it, they are just hard to learn

[Zerosoldierboarder]

Did your friend ever play jimmy in a game?

[Schander]

Nope... not that I know of.

[Schander]

Nope... not that I know of.

[Zerosoldierboarder]

Jimmy carlin fuckin killed it

[Eleventytwoo]

This video becomes more and more entertaining as time goes by.

[Schander]

Hehe, thanks! =)

[Eleventytwoo]

@Schander yeah, how's sewa doin nowadays? participate in anymore GOS?

[Schander]

He's still ripping, although I don't see him that often anymore... he's more abroad than he is at home =P

[sk8oriel]

what is the name of the first song?¿?

[Schander]

Check the info box >>

[cscar91]

nah jim bates style is wak its just that jimmy carlin is soo awesum hes the only person that can make those rediculous tricks look that clean

[ZeroOrN0Thing]

nice edit. jimy carlins pretty g.

[barneysilveroli]

jim bates got the wackest style ive ever seen  what a fag

[fallen4life080]

could you possibly upload the entire final?!? that would be awsome, mike mo was also in this right? and he got knocked out early?

[Schander]

I don't think I have the original footage anymore... just this edit and some left over bits and pieces. So, no can do... sorry.

[Eleventytwoo]

would an ollie sexchange count as a trick? I did it once against this guy in skate and he said it wasn't a trick...

[Schander]

Sure it does... if you'd pop it high enough, I guess.

[chikkmagneet]

6:16! Nollie frontside big heel! ( nollie 360 inward heelfip + a bs 180) *nollie is switched around for fs and bs if you're wondering!* but dang! Nollie 360 inward heels are enough but when you put a 180 into them it looks so sick! i have a lot of respect for that guy.. haha

[ZeroOrN0Thing]

thats great but thats fakie

[ShitCamProductions]

it was fakie

[chrismpaclibar91]

Where is this then?

[Eleventytwoo]

this vid is still sexy

[Eleventytwoo]

Dang, he must be pretty good then. well he is pretty good from what i've seen from this vid :p

[Eleventytwoo]

lol what if jims first name was mastur XDDD

im sorry if i offend some of you :p. So do you need to be an am to sign up? is your friend an am?

[Schander]

As far as I know anyone can still participate in the pre-qualifying rounds... but the rules might've changed a bit by now. Sewa's on Blind and DC Europe nowadays.

[Eleventytwoo]

this video still contains its sexyness

[puzzle30]

there is no complete version of this final right? I only watched another clip from TWS but was also incomplete, I wonder why don't people just upload the complete thing? why do they have to cut?

[enjoyingthepain]

jim bates has no pop. or style

[Svoki12]

0:22 he is sewa, not swea :) anyway nice tricks at the end

[SablanSk8ing]

that one kid that beat your friend did a bunch of gay little tricks

[ERICTHEAZNSKATER]

dude the german kids are taking over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Schander]

LOL! Who're you calling German? Sewa and me are Dutch. Alex Mizurov might be German, but he's a born Russian... and so is Sewa. Thus, in a way you mean the Russian kids are taking over xD

[fallen4life080]

i thought alex was from Kazakhstan? and sewa is really russian? well his last name sounds slavic :P

well anywayz all you guys over there kill at this game of skate!! :P i REALLY wanna see sewa vs alex again! hard to believe he didnt get a single letter on alex in 07, do you know anymore about that game?

you got any more videos of him?

[Schander]

Yeah, Kazakhstan... same thing, hehe. I didn't go along that year, but I do believe I've seen some footage... somewhere.

[iLuvn00bs]

that japanese dude is amazing

[criminalgboro]

sewa had long hair wow

[Eleventytwoo]

wait was that a bigflip that got your friend?

[Schander]

LOL, yeah... that was one of his weaknesses back then. Nowadays, he has none :P

[sk8brice91]

how old is your friend Sewa?

[Schander]

He's eighteen now... back then, fifteen.

[deycallmeanthony]

how come that guy is skateing with a waterbottle?

jimmy carlin is so sick

[Schander]

Because he was sweating like hell in that ridiculous sweater... I really don't know.

[RichKor]

what jim bates beat eric koston? holy crap dude wtf lol

[RichKor]

oh thanks but man your friend was doin good in the game how'd he lose >:O

[RichKor]

haha a bottle of water wow tell your friend he has skills rofl do you have to be sponsored already to enter a es game of skate?

[Schander]

Nowadays, he's even ten times better :) No, you just have to win your local És Game of Skate to qualify yourself and advance to the És Game of Skate of your state, or the European one if you live in Europe.

[RichKor]

[tactzer0]

[KayoRepresent]

Jim Bates is sick at flip tricks but he has a sketchy style, but Jimmy Carlins got a mad style and his now on Mystery and in the new mystery vid

[laybackinthapark]

[Nakhio]

[char13947]

[filledwithacid]

[Schander]

Yeah, he's my bud. He won the European game of skate in 2005... but because he was/is a minor, Soletech paid extra for someone to come along. His parents couldn't come, so he chose me instead.

[illgowithplanb]

[Schander]

For balance... no, he needed the water because he was sweating like hell in that ridiculous sweater. I really don't know. Ricardodaskater, please read my previous comment.

[Schander]

The first song is 'Hands around my throat' by Death In Vegas and the second song is 'They' by Jem.

[striderlp]

yo whats tha name of the song at the end. and who sings it.

[jdjdjd1]

ya i think carlin shoulda won, but hey, u cant hate on jim bates, as long as u land the damn trik, it relly doesnt mater

[Real720]

Carlin should've won!

[Zososg]

someones gonna need to keep the volcom dudes under control next year hahahaha

[nyne9]

clean style doesn't mean a thing in a game of S-K-A-T-E..it's all about the tricks..you could land a tre flip like a bag of bricks dropping from a tree..as long as you stomp it.

[Kian8]

Sewa should have won it, cleanest style of them all

[Schander]

That's Jimmy Carlin... and it's switch!!

[HISBADRELIGION]

jimmy carlin is so nasty. he hardflipped the same big 4 that chris cole tre flipped in dying to live. some sick shit.

[shawnandstuff]

thats insane... do you know where i can see footy of this?

[manomantax]

jimmy carlins regular right?

[manomantax]

isnt he regular?

[silverskaters]

haha who gives.... he cud do like a lot of fuckin good tricks tho

[Travai]

Who does the kwazy tre at the end?

[manomantax]

wtf is a kwazy tre?

[namanama]

he has the shittiest style EVER. he need to lose the sweartshirt.

[silverskaters]

lol r u kidding? his fuckin fs and bs full cab flips r the shit

[frankelegant]

jim bates sucks, his tricks are like 2 inches off the ground, they're gay tricks, no style, all pivots, the skateboard industry is probably laughing at him cuz he has no dignity to do REAL tricks.

[obieonepc]

jim bates serves all of your skateboarding heros.

he took out koston without hesitation. nuff said.

[11shinobi1]

dude ...compare it to PJ and you will have probably just add2more inches literally...

[pjrsk8]

I wouldn't really compare PJ Ladd to Jim Bates

[obieonepc]

"laughing at him"?

You're nowhere near the industry's radar to make such a comment.

Where's your pro model board/shoe/video part?

I'd love to see the footage. I'd be damned if you got one letter on Koston in a game of skate, never the less beat him.

Skateboarding isn't a beauty contest you homosexual.

Fuck your life.

[Schander]

Well... he needs that bottle of water because it's so damn hot to skate in that sweater, hehe.

[neofantomu]

Jim bates tricks are extremely low. but he can do it. strange he plays in a sweater and carrying a water bottle...

[Schander]

Jimmy Carlin is definatelly not shit! It's a shame Jim Bates won, though.

[dschultz6072]

how did they let that shit get to the finals? this whole game had to be one of the reasons koston felt fine about leaving éS.

[Schander]

The first song is 'Hands Around My Throat' by Death In Vegas and the second one is 'They' by Jem.

[silverskaters]

hey whats the song?

[milkybarkidd]

=> fuckin sick video! well nice sk8in..beat koston, woah! He's norm a bad loser..

[Schander]

That's Sewa Kroetkov. 

[silverskaters]

oo and wjhose the dude at the beginning who does the bs and fs cab flip

[silverskaters]

whats an edit?

[Schander]

Thanks guys! Just to be clear about one thing... it's not me skating, just my edit ;-)

[silverskaters]

dude ur fuckin pro

[reynoldswrap]

haha eric was talking shit before each trick lol.

[HxCSk8ter]

shiiit insane
