The #1 video of the Berrics top 50 videos thus far is, without a doubt, the first game of skate between @erickoston and @mikemo. The Battle at the Berrics may have never been born if it weren’t for Johnny Romano. Johnny was in the hospital with cancer, this was about the time The Berrics first started, and he went on the site every day. I was told it was one of the highlights of the day. One afternoon my phone rang... It was @jimthiebaud and he asked me if there was any way I could post something up on the site for Johnny. A shout out, a get well soon, something that would hopefully brighten his spirits because he was having a rough time. I said without a doubt and then sat and thought to myself, “what could I do? What could I do?” And just then I see Eric and Mo skating around in the park and I get an idea. Here is the most exciting and influential skateboarder in the world with control beyond anything I could ever imagine and just to the left of him is the new most exciting and influential skateboarder in the world. Who wouldn’t want to see these guys play a game of skate. And so I asked if they would do it, of course they said yes, and before we started I had each of them look into the camera and say something like, “Johnny, if I win, you’re coming to the Berrics.” And I had it pre-recorded so that we could have a fair battle, one they would both go all out for. And so they did... and Eric won. At the time, Youtube wasn’t that big, but someone had ripped the video off the site and put it up there and within two days it has something like 653k views. And it was right then and there that I knew there was something to having the flat ground battles. And that’s how Battle at the Berrics started. All because of Johnny Romano. And that’s when the whole trajectory of The Berrics changed. So... coming in at #1, rightfully so, is the very first battle before battle at The Berrics, between Mike Mo and Eric Koston.
