Baker drops Braydon, Lenoce and Heyl from pro team.

[Vibes of skating rocks]

In dire need of cutting their budget, Baker Skateboards has dropped longtime riders Braydon Szafranksi and Jeff Lenoce and pro-rank newcomer Shane Heyl from their pro team.

Expect this trend to continue as teams look to trim the fat off their teams and cutting loose riders who aren't pulling their weight coverage-wise.

I'll believe it when I see it

edit: their team page is down.

[baggypants4life]

What so they can give theotis more money?

[zoltan]

wack. they should have never put on that dee kid, or cyril. they're not even half as baker as lenoce and braydon were

[nigga_please]

Did they really thought that turn Shane Heyl pro was a wise business choice???

[doomstation55]

I'm overwhelmed with the amount of sources you gave.

[Rusty Shackleford]

I can believe braydon but I never thought those guys would be sent packing

[H.E. Pennypacker]

If I remember correctly, Lenoce wasn't taking any paychecks other than royalties from Baker.

[Julz]

I wouldn't mind seeing Braydon and Heyl getting kicked off, but Lenoce as been pretty active over the past 2-3 years so I'm definitly bummed on him leaving if your rumor is true

[baggypants4life]

maybe Life Extension will take them lol

Reynold's said in multiple interviews that all the baker pros get the same pay check + extra $$$ from sales

The difference for Shane is that he wont be directly on the payroll. Im sure he'll still skate with the crew & get free boards n whatnot.

i dunno about braydon & lenoce tho. it kinda sucks to see em leave but at the same time neither of them get a ton of coverage or are huge board sellers so if they had to cut ANYBODY it'd be those guys. Spanky's been kinda lowkey for a while too tho...

[gnidraobetaks]

makes sense. they definitely have a solid am/flow lineup right now with dee, cyril, riley, rowan zorilla, mike white etc. it would be pretty hard to be able to suppourt as many dudes as they were/are. i am interested to see what vol. 4 is gonna be like.

My thoughts exactly, he's probably my favourite from the whole team (reynolds aside). I really hope this isn't true, and with the lack of proof I think it's safe to bet it isn't!

yeah if Spanky still cares about his career it seems like he should be in a now or never mentality and work his ass off !

This.

[baggypants4life]

i just really wonder what will be next for braydon if this is true

Nah man everyone on baker makes the same amount. I doubt Lenoce is off highly because him and Reynolds are super tight and he has been doing alot in the last few years.

That, plus that dude makes money off of Shake Junt and his Lil Wayne royalties haha.

[KUberry]

I'm pretty sure the heyl board was a one time deal and he took it wrong so Reynolds was like "ahh, fuck it he can stay on for a while."

[69]

poor brandon lol

[Dumbo]

I can't really see Sza getting the boot, he has that appeal to the youngsters and all around baker vibe. I would guess his sales are pretty solid, and his baker 3 part has always been a fav

[Aatila]

Vol. 4

[wildbillhiccup]

YEAH N DEY BRININ BACK KNOX AND RAMMY

[wildbillhiccup]

AND THAT OTHER KID DAT LOOK LIKE FURBY AND THE KID THAT LOOK LIKE THEETHEE

[MuchasGracias]

Well this is saddening.

To me it seems like this is actually the most boring group of amateurs Baker has ever had.  Also,  Lenoce is Baker....kicking him off would be a terrible move.  Heyl needs to be kicked out of skateboarding in general
