Better late than never! Boost Mobile just posted up four video clips from the éS Game of SKATE Pro Finals at the ASR trade show back on September 11, 2005. The clips include the following clashes of the titans: Jim Bates vs. Eric Koston, Mike Chapaldi vs. Billy Marks, Chico Brenes vs. Eric Koston and Jimmy Carlin vs. Jim Bates.
Highlights include Koston clowning around and Bates constantly clutching his good luck charm water bottle throughout all of his runs.

Djribal Cisse has pop
cant believe koston failed a fs flip
Jim Bates sucks, he doesnt have pop.
Mike relaxed
that's true Jim bates ain't no pop..too slappy
true, also he has a very bad switch heelflips.
Hey does anybody know how to save flash animations?
Koston fucked up some easy things and that's his own problem but Jim Bates did a few things that should not have counted... like when he lands a trick but then pivots the rest of the way, I can't believe they let that slide.
I think you should get Mike on éS
Think about it
isnt smyth sendin capaldi free lakais anyway?
capaldi is on Royal, Girl, Lakai.. and not sure what else
hey, whoevers watched the game of skate clip they had on transworld back in september. The guy against jim bates in the finals has a real good PJ Ladd style, kinda looks like him to. makes you think.
Does Koson suck at flatground or something? i haven't seen much of his flatground, but he missed some of the tricks i would think he would make. Are tkse dickies he is wearing? they look good, i haven't worn any since like 7th grade... and what fit wold those be?
koston would have no problem whatsoever annihalating almost anyone in the universe in s.k.a.t.e., so if you were in that position, would you take the competition seriously, when youd know that its too easy anyway?
* except P.J. Ladd
i totally agree with rph...koston just wasn't tryin'
those arent dickies those are def koston in his fourstar pants lol, and i didnt kno mike mo was actually on lakai i thought he just loved them so hes all tapper? i love the tap
I agree with rph too. The only guys who could really stand up to Koston in a game-of-skate would be Mike Carroll, P.J Ladd,Brian Anderson, Chris Cole, and Bryan Herman.
i don't know... he may have been but the look on his face after he missed a few tricks looked like i do after i mess up on kickflipping in front of people who say i suck or my grandparents... and those were 4star pants? they look cool. i want to buy them
can someone please tell me the exct name so i can buy them?
Bates doesn't have any pop. If I had to choose Mike Mo or Bates I would prefer to Mike Mo. Bates, u suck!
bates doesnt suck, anybody who can beat koston in a game of skate cant suck
bates really cheated because he just reverted at the end but you shouldnt say he sucks because he is better than most of us here. koston is so much better than him anyways so it doesn't matter
jimmy carlin should have beat bates
who is this jimmy carlin? he is freakin good!!!!!!!!
but seriously, what is the name of eric koston's pants? the ones he was wearing?
Mike Bates looked like he had no idea where the hell he was, or what he was doing. Clearly he wasn't giving that much effort, hence the rolling of most of his tricks.. and of course, the water bottle in his hand.
He's proving the world that he has the tricks, and doesn't need to pop them any higher than the next guy from them to count.
Congrats to him for winning.
is anyone going to ever tell me what pants those are?????????????? it's driving me crazy... i have OCD, and i will not rest till i KNOW!
do you mean jim bates bryizzle? and that was a dumb arugment, if hes good, he should pop it high automatically
but congrats to him winning anyways, i agree with that
