Great video for sure, but the reign of "Baker kids" that it birthed that all looked the exact same and just repeated Baker 3 quotes over and over weren't too pleasant. (And I'll admit, I too fell into that at a young age.)



I wish Baker was still like it was the.

one of the most watchable videos, i think baker 3 and krook3d show us more what skating is about than the "big hitter" videos like stay gold and such.

Its not all about sw varial heels and cab flips down 16 sets, sure that is A part of it but not all of it. baker and krook3d show the side of having fun and doing kook tricks and just generally dicking arround

Damn I love that video. Gotta be my favorite video of all time. It was one of the first I actually owned along with This is Skateboarding (I pirated everything else from lime wire and once I downloaded “almost round 3” only to find porn). The local shop in OKC had a premier and I remember everyone standing during antwauns part. Herman skating to that Bowie song was tight.

Good bump. One of the best videos of all time. If you were between 10-20 years old when this came out, you’ll know how big this video was. Changed a generation of teenagers fashion/music sense almost overnight.

To me this was a real golden era of skateboarding, within a couple years YouTube/Instagram popped up and full lengths were never gonna be the same.

Antuwan's  part not only is the best by far in the video (yah, I'm not a stair counter) but something the world got blessed with generally for the ages.

Ellington said Restless Life wasn't his first choice for his song, but I'm glad his first choice didn't pan out because Restless Life is such a bad fucking ass track to kick off the video with.

Greco's gone through countless fashion iterations, but him in a flat billed New Era cap will always be his greatest faux pax.

Best BS360, no one does them like he does.

First time I discovered the track Bohemian Rhapsody with this part.. I can't tell you the visual and auditory beauty I had while watching this.. This part motivated me so much before each session when I was 16 , I even put my first ollie on 6 stairs with Bohemian Rhapsody in my ears haha  :-*

For me it boils down to Greco is entertaining to watch and Berra isn't. I think Berra gets hate because the rest of his personality outside of skating is so ass that people just pick apart his career for things to dislike.
