In 2008, skateboard brand, DVS Shoe Company (now DVS Shoes), sponsored the inaugural Battle at the Berrics contest. Consisting of a professional game of S.K.A.T.E., the competition involved thirty-two skaters competing in a bracket-style tournament. The competitors included Steve Berra, Eric Koston, Rob Dyrdek, Andrew Reynolds, Mike Carroll, Marc Johnson, Erik Ellington, PJ Ladd, Danny Montoya, Chris Roberts, Donovan Strain, and Sean Malto. First place was attained by Mike Mo Capaldi, with second and third place given to Benny Fairfax and Billy Marks, respectively.
We have had 12 captivating seasons of Battle at the Berrics until 2021. Battle at the Berrics 12 was announced on June 14, 2021 and for the first time
will double the size of the bracket from 32 skaters, to 64. The theme includes 4 segments. Pros - Joes - Influencers - Icons. The finals night was held on 21 June 2022, with Sewa Kroetkov (Pro), Tyler Peterson (Joe), Jamie Griffin (Influencer) & Paul Rodriguez (Icon) being the finalists. Before the finals, Rodriguez tested positive for COVID-19 and was replaced by Chris Cole. Griffin won the 
tournament by defeating Peterson in the finals, with Kroetkov placing third, and Cole placing fourth.
Covid not only stopped P-Rod from finishing the tournament, it stopped the whole show completely. We missed a whole year and some of us wondered if we would ever see the return of the flat ground contest. Until now! BATB Round 13 has officially kicked off and we are looking at an exciting Round 2!! Who will be the next champion?? Chris Cole? Luan Oliveira? Louie Lopez? Sean Malto? Chris Joslin? No one knows in these games, everyone is at the mercy of their flat ground flicks on the day their game is at hand! Check out upcoming Round 2 on the Berrics Youtube Channel!!
