Nibbler gets my vote.

His tricks had a much wider variety, and a much higher degree of difficulty. The pumping elbow glides with the kick pivot transition was really interesting, and that half decade thing out of the last link was incredibly intense. He rolled, he spun, he turbined. He did pretty much everything. If it it's a show of what a rider is capable of in terms of diversity, he won. In difficulty, I'd say he has an edge on Prasheel but a bit.

Prasheels links were difficult, but I didn't see anything in there that really stood out to me. I understand being original is a difficult thing to do, and I don't put much stock into being original all the time, but in competition between two riders, it counts for quite a bit. That being said, I didn't see anything in Prasheels run that I haven't seen elsewhere from countless other riders. Will had quite a few things that I either don't see regularly, or he put a twist on an old idea enough to make it seem original.

So, yeah. Nibbler.

both nice runs, Will was laying down great, loved the no handed back wheel trick, its name escapes me, usually I see it scuffed.

wow TJ 3500 posts thats huge, way to much time on the forum

Watching Will ride never gets old.   Did we already see his knee elbow glide in a previous video?  I thought for sure he would throw that down.

Before I started riding flat again, I saw Will ride at a contest and was blown away by his distinct style and tricks, the fwd sideglide variations were the clincher for me.  Got to get into that!

Alright, I guess this wraps it all up.  Was awesome seeing everyone's riding!  Stoked!

The trick is called a Candyman or at least that is the name I have always known it as.

Yes that is a candyman.  That last brakeless decade thing is much harder to do while carving a clockwise circle out of a combo than to just roll a straighter line in a lardyard then step over.  Real easy to loop out and eat sh*t!  Plus Will did different stuff in each battle video!  That is huge in my opinion.  Prasheel has consistently elevated his riding but more of a progression of the same type of tricks.  Overall, great videos and riding from both guys!

Thanks Ondo for keeping this together amidst all the drama!  It was well worth it.

Both guys did an amazing job!  Prasheel, those 1 handed whips are sick!  Will, I have never seen anyone do some of the stuff you did... gliding candyman, original elbow glide switches, etc...  very nice.  Great riding from both of you guys.  I have been inspired by the level of riding that you guys have presented here!!!
