Seems like he's in NY with Delfino, Tyson, and Reynolds right now from looking at Rye Bere's story. Would be kinda bummed hes either not gonna do the AD board brand or that the AD brands not happening at all.
-
he mentioned in his heckride interview that he grew up idolizing the baker guys and knew them early on in his career from riding for the emerica euro team. not that surprised that if they gave him an opportunity to ride for baker he would take it.

something about casper’s name in baker font sits right with me

As much as I love Atlantic drift the video series I agree. No new brands.
-

I concur. I think it's a perfect fit
-
Jacob Harris posted an Atlantic Drift board on his story a few days ago so I assume the brand is definitely happening.
-
If Casper asks you for boards you meet him personally to drop them of
-
This would be so unexpected yet amazing

BAKER BAKER BAKER
BROOKER BROOKER BROOKER
-
It’d be cool bc he idolized them starting out, but I’d want to keep all the Drift guys together personally
-
Yeah right and next up is Tom Knox on Polar. He's just hanging and riding a board until AD goes into full production
-
Ain’t mad.
-
Casper is a fave.
Baker is a fave.
Fuck it why not.
-
I'd get 10 of his pro boards for sure
-
Sad if he's not making into the AD board brand (if it's really happening) but happy for his childhood dream come true.

I'll see you back at this comment when this is announced ;)

They follow a few non riders but this seems to be a new follow and with everything else, I think it's happening.

Would be great, he deserves a real (legacy/successful) board sponsor.

Drift would be doper if they all were on different board sponsors.

AD should pivot from a board brand to an After Effects/Premiere plug in brand where they sell you editing tools and footage of jellyfish so fans can produce their own inferior AD knockoff edits.
-
I dont get the AD boards hype. If yall werent buying Isle boards before whats going to make you buy AD boards when they come out? Is the jellyfish graphic that appealing?

I was half joking but I am surprised more filmers/editors with a following don't have this as a side hustle. Id imagine a strobeck, johnny wilson, jacob harris level filmer's patreon would pop off with this kind of content.

Make a Masterclass about starting a Masterclass, then get them to pay for the Masterclass about starting a Masterclass and then they can sell their own Masterclass about teaching people how to film skateboarding.

Casper Brooker Baker sounds like a trust fund kid

that's a good point. kyron is basically the only AD regular not on isle. and it's not like isle had bad graphics.
i guess maybe the answer is that isle weren't making regular videos (or anything at all) post vase. maybe people will be more up for buying AD boards knowing that it means more content?

I'm surprised outside of Spike and Josh Stewart more filmers didn't make big industry moves. Spike is on a different level, but Theories as a distro has helped launch some good brands and filmed some great stuff.

Bailing on your best friends to be “UK” guy on an LA based brand seems kind wack. Even if it guarantees a steady check.
Atlantic drift will be fine as a board co. Plus all of those guys have corpo shoe sponsors + thrasher backing
skating isn’t a sport G.

He’s been pretty open in interviews (and was a former Emerica UK guy) that Baker was what he was super into when he got into skating. I don’t want him to be on Baker, but it’s not some left field choice

Aside from the part that I agree with the bailing on your homie thing, is there anything that suggests Baker is a good career move for him? Like I can't think of any European skater whose career and life benefitted from getting on Baker. I mean what's Jacopo done since getting on? A couple nice cameo clips maybe. Actually has anybody not from or permanently relocating to California ever thrived under a BakerBoys brand? It feels so LA centric and last thing the world needs is Casper Brooker skating the same spots as every other dude.

There's only been one, and how can you say Jacopo's career hasn't benefited? He gets paid to skate, and still lives in his home country. Honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not.

Ok ok I'm not gonna dunk on Jacopo I love that he gets to be pro on Baker with a 90s output level. Just expected him to blow up way more I guess.

I'd say Dustin dollin thrived relocating to California and being under a bakerboys brand. Casper, the people at baker and AD are all adults I'm sure they can figure their own lives out for themselves. What's actually the worst that could happen for Casper? He skates in LA for a bit with people he looks up to while being paid by a company he likes. Yeah that would suck.

Also clips in a couple bronze and spitfire vids. And guest clips in shake junt and baker vids focused on other riders.
Pretty good output for 3-4 years time imo. Plus he was posting on ig what felt like every other day for a bit. So much so that I'm glad he's kind of slowed down in that front.

Baker's sick, and while iconic I don't think its the most respected brand in the history of the sport. Crailtap until the past 10 years was massive, early 90's world, and Powell Peralta were huge. And, I'd think the most respected brand in the industry is by far DLX.

Not really sure what the issue is here…
Reynolds asking you to ride for baker isn’t like riding aws2.0 or boards or something equally as whack, that’s some shit. I’m sure his friends are happy for him.
Good for him, Baker will always be top tier.
Where is the Baker Supreme collab at tho. It’s time.
Supreme in the ransom font on tshirts and hoodies tf they waiting for. There’s enough dudes skating for both/ working the register at the shop that are pro for/ down with baker for it to make sense. I’m sure neckface will weasel his way in there when it inevitably happens.

I find it so funny how many people here have a parasocial relationship with skateboarding strangers and the brands that they represent. You have no idea if he’s “bailing on his homies”, that’s just a thing you made up. No one even knows if he’s on Baker or if they just gave him some boards! No one really knows if AD will even be a brand. And certainly no one knows HERE knows what is going on between these guys.
Of course skateboarding is a sport. What a boring and trite thing to say. Do you still have Consolidated “Don’t Do It” ads hanging up in your bedroom?

I chose the phrase “skateboard company” because I wanted to make clear I was talking about a company with a name that goes on skateboard and people buy, apologies if that wasn’t clear. DLX is bigger and more successful company but none of their brands compare to the clout of Baker imo.
I’m not even a huge fan of Baker. They came around after I was more or less an adult and their early image of debauchery and beefing with minimum wage security workers or whatever was a huge turnoff. But yeah, the dust has settled and it’s hard to think of another name on a skateboard which has the same relevance in 2022 as it did it 2001.

I don't think you can count deluxe as a 'brand' anymore than TumYeto or Dwindle or any other distributor, they just make and distribute brands. Unless you're going to make DLX merch or have a DLX team they're not really in the conversation. They're an institution and well respected for a reason but not a brand.
I don't think Baker is most respected of all time but definitely in contention for one of the most respected brands 2000 onward and maybe the only one of their peers of that era that still hold up

I think Anti Hero has been the most consistent brand since it's inception. It never aggressively set the whole industry on fire where it seemed like 75% of skateboarding turned into clones like fans of Baker or Girl, but it remained sick throughout it all at least since I've been skating. I started in 2001 so correct me if I'm wrong. As much as I love Baker (started skating right at its inception), the era where Dee and Cyril were their top new pros seemed pretty uninspired and it did seem like they were slacking around then. They have since made a huge bounce back and I love it.
-
Man, I tell ya, the porcelain is gonna get sprayed next time I take a shit after digesting the spicy takes in this thread.
Casper Brooker is cool
Baker is cool
An AD board brand would be cool
The ISLE guys all going to other brands would also be cool
Jacopo is cool
Reynolds is cool
Tom Knox is cool
There's only positives here.

Riding for Baker and filming with Beagle. Who wouldn't want to? Ideally in the post 90s weed and flatbills era, but I'd take today too.

it’s pretty fucking unfair to just assume that casper ditched the ad project and hopped on the baker train. surely there are any number of reasons why he’s made the move. maybe ad is done? maybe they all decided it wasn’t worth it. maybe some of them got better offers that they couldn’t turn down? maybe jake harris pulled out? maybe. maybe. maybe.
anyway casper on baker looks like a nice thing.

I mean its a guess but based on evidence? Spotted on the boards and in NY with reynolds and tyson. Not confirmation but pretty sound to assume its at least in strong contention. Way more to go off than you claiming hes betraying his friends and acting like you know the dynamics of that crew...

lol. i don’t know the deal but just seemed quite premature for people to stamp on his head for ditching ad. who the fuck knows what’s happened eh.
-
What's the problem here? I thought one of the best parts about Atlantic Drift was that it featured guys from different companies anyway...
Starting a new company from the ground up could mean asking someone to take a paycut until it's fully up and running, this could be a lot to ask someone. That's just speculation ofc but if it is the case I'd imagine not having to pay another head from the get go isn't that much of an L either for AD either.
Usually I'd agree with 'no more new brands etc' but since Isle's downsizing over the years I do think there is a gap for another UK company to house the bigger names not on Palace. All in all seeing Casper in a Baker would be sick and I don't think it's as deep as people are making out.

Anti Hero has more fixed gear riders than it does motorcyclists.
Casper on Baker, if true, is a solid move for both sides.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if some Swoosh meddling and industry politics was be involved.

Cyrus was skating Baker boards and hanging out with the Baker team in LA and NYC when 917 was clearly done and didn't end up on them. This is some wild speculation folks. But fuck it, he would be a sick addition.

I think Limosine boards are based off baker shapes if not just baker shapes. Max Palmer was riding them too. I think that crew just likes pointy boards. Can’t blame them.
-
They are not Baker shapes nor based off of them.
-
Word is they were never forthright with Jensen and Shier with their grievances with Isle until they had already decided to quit at a team meeting. Some of the riders took issue with them not going on Isle trips, or that Atlantic Drift and Isle being too closely associated, which if you think about it, starting Drift Skateboards, doesn't make a lot of sense then. You'd have Drift Skateboards + Atlantic Drift, filmed and edited by the same guy with the same aesthetic. Which is basically what Isle + Atlantic Drift was post Vase.
-
They are not Baker shapes nor based off of them.
I don't know about the other shapes but my 8.5 Max board has all the dimensions of the 8.4 Baker shape. Super pointy, 14.25 wb, hair under 8.5.
-
Their other shapes are just old 917 shapes. I had an 8.5 917 that was like the Baker 8.475 I think BBS might use it for a few companies.

Please can they finally release make me a baker? I wanna see Casper with a hammer painted on his face

That’s funny considering all the grief Real got from them for doing a Hells Angels homage graphic back in the day

Also Tom Knox is holding a Krooked board in Spanky’s latest IG post. Maybe Krooked is like the Antihero Eagle of the U.K. Could see him on Krooked either way

I’m bored as hell, so I figured I’d put in my perspective.
Casper is probably just riding Baker boards until AD comes through. It’s gotta be more difficult for an overseas brand to get production going through a manufacture who typically supplies the US market.
Why not fill in the purgatory, with a brand you always looked up to, especially when you can get em for free. Maybe, he likes that one Baker shape that’s just under 8.5 and just below 32” long. I bet Reynolds’s has no problem lacing someone like Casper with boards as well.
Not saying it is completely out of the question he could get on Baker. I just find it highly unlikely for now unless, we find more out. Everything is just speculative, including what I’m saying. I feel like we’re grasping for straws here

I personally hope Tom doesn’t end up on a dlx brand. Nothing against them, but I just don’t think that he would get the shine he deserves on krooked or Real. Krooked would obviously be the better option between the two tho
-
Mike Arnold is my favorite from the whole crew, and I can't really think of a good place for him to go, maybe Palace?
-
I wonder what happened? Stoked for Casper. Mike Arnold needs to be protected at all costs.
Also Tom Knox on krooked would be absolutely amazing.

Tom Knox - palace
Mike Arnold - frog
Remy - rassvet
Sylvain - ?
Kyron - skatemental
Chris Jones - ?

The Atlantic drift guys are the supreme London guys aswell right? Which means they can’t be on Palace right? You gotta either be on FA or Baker or DLX to skate for Supreme right?
-
How old is Sylvain? Sadly he seems like the type to just bow out early :( dude is incredible.
-
ay whun yous fuck wi' baker that's wa' yous get
-
God if Tom Knox goes to Real I will fucking die inside.
Honestly maybe its good that AD isn't going to be a brand. It's a conceptual web series based on dudes that travel and skate new places. That doesn't really seem like a lasting brand image and best to just keep it its own thing. Isle, the brand they were on, was praised left and right but didn't sell. The locals I went to all told me that no one bought them when they could get them and then when the drought hit they had major supply issues. This suggests to me that they weren't super high on the BBS priority list likely because they didn't sell that many decks. I liked what they did, but if we are being honest here even with a person running the company it drifted straight to the bottom of the Atlantic.

Not that I want this, but is it weird to say I could see Tom Knox on Habitat..?
Maybe that popped into my head because of that SOTY trip.

Tom Knox doesn't need a board company to 'shine' though. He's gone up in stature ten fold over the last few years sans any output with Isle.
Probably the biggest free agent since...Louie Lopez?

So Remy - Hockey/FA hopefully
Tom - Dlx but habitat would be sick him and suciu could bring it back to 2003 popularity.

Sylvain will chill.
Chris Jones, frustratingly, will fade out I think. Won't get a good offer and as a result, will just pop up here and there.
I can't see anyone getting on Palace.
God forbid someone may end up on Sour.
UK options are really limited:
Yardsale - Too close-knit and not likely to want to buy a big-time rider
The National - some weird recent team additions becoming sort of hometown heroish
Palace - not happening have a stacked team
Cafe - maybe Arnold will make a homecoming?
Apart from that hard to know what other options people have.
Distro hook up for an American brand. Or a Euro brand? Potential for Rave?
Remy more than likely on Rassvet.

TBH I just kinda winged it with my first post since I noticed he was skating the boards and probably wasn't just visiting NY and meeting with the Boss and Tyson for fun. Circumstantial evidence at best but I went with it.

What a bummer. A new board brand I actually wanted. But give credit to JH for being honest with himself and putting his health and well-being first.

there were also something like a dozen people independently saying "it's not happening"

I think the same too, Tom has 4 kids and Habitat doesn't seem to pay much nowadays.
That's my guessing
Casper Brooker - Baker
Mike Arnold - Frog? Polar? FA/Hockey?
Remy Taviera - Rassvet
Sylvain - Magenta? or Sour?
Kyron - Skatemental
Chris Jones - Sour or retirement
I also heard that Adrian del Campo is joining Rassvet too

First tom footage I ever saw was 2009 day in the life and he was skating a baker board. Watched that clip daily for months and then he didn’t blow up for another 5 years. So yeah I could see it .

If I was Alex Olson, I would be making calls and moving assets to throw out salary numbers at some of these guys right now. But he's probably making some shitty house music and complaining about something instead.

They’re all going to 917, because it feels like Isle but different. A company they all know won’t last, with an owner who won’t do much other than make graphics no one wants. But this time it’s with an American.
I’m being mean. I honestly hope Alex can make something of 917, and the former Isle lad’s can find some decent board sponsors

The sad irony Alex Olson was able to made a brand that endured longer than any other of the other Crail riders that left during that period and was able to start a brand while AD couldn’t

Tom Knox on Primitive actually makes sense and is a good shout. He has what, 2 kids? In an expensive city like London? A family of 4 he needs to provide for. I don't think he'd have been making anything at Isle, and this would be a good opportunity for him to bring in extra income along with good pay cheques from # & Dickies. Primitive seems to have a strong presence in London too (They had riders go out for a premiere too).
Edit - He has 4 kids now!

i don't think Hockey needs Casper, I have no doubt it would been on his mind though and I do wonder if the idea shot down quickly. He's really good friends with Nik and he just listed the Andrew Allen Vans part and Kevin's Dancing On Thin Ice part in his top 5 on QS.

In an interview he talks about just discovering Dystopia and it seems lots of these skaters are really coming full trend and getting into a crust or metal aesthetic as it hits the normal skateboard lagging style trend.

Those that are bummed about no Kader footage in the new baker edit might not realize the potential of brooker x Kader edit. Hell even brooker x jocopo x kader
Now I have something to hope for. Kaders been in Europe a few times this year right? Maybe he’s trying to do a euro specific part to go with jacopo / brooker?
Here’s some thrilling euro footy of kader, he really put work in over there

DLX is bigger and more successful company but none of their brands compare to the clout of Baker imo.
I'd argue that Anti-Hero is pretty close.
I mean at this point its almost preference as I believe they're both on a similar level.
Baker def does not have half the clout of any DLX brand
you’re out of your mind.

Real for life foo! I even got the RD tattoo (real drunx) shits fire.

Casper intro video will probably be a little holiday treat around Thanksgiving or Xmas. Boss was serious about dropping some edits this year!

I wouldn't expect a footage dump to a Youtube account with 503 followers to be indicative of the footage he got there or how productive he was

They just announced Casper on their instagram.

This is my favorite team announcement in years

Look above you. It was bumped yesterday already posted by brucewillis. Nothing of note happened since then other than him, being on Bakers instagram popping his board up into and out of a back smith and it said Baker on it. 😘
-
kind of silly to tease him in the last video just to announce a week later with one clip.
Could’ve just put this in between two of the parts

Same day, Spanly randomly popping up on pitchfork as someone’s artwork

They don’t fit each other one bit in my opinion.
I’m stoked for Casper tho cos he’s a sound bloke and he hugely and impressively progressed in the last 5 years skatewise. Well deserved.
-
I'm sad about the end of Isle, was buying religiously their boards until they started getting produced by HLC. Love their artwork and the team. I feel like Tom Knox, Casper, Chris Jones and Mike Arnold should remain in the same team for ever.

Alongside limosine I'd say isle was one of the best brands as far as image and skaters complimenting each other hopefully drift videos keep coming.

Pro board soon? Or back to am? There better be a board to go with this!

So if you asked me in 2005 what the Spanly album cover timeline would produce, i would have expected a PD-addled scenester on some shitty NY indie band split. Instead we got a sober dad on some freak out electro single. Maybe we are not living in totally cursed times

I saw on the Baker instagram that Casper's shape is Baker Squared? New shape from Baker?

They offer this shape for a while. It's just not the classic Baker one, so its not on every model.
In fact, I don't think it's very square at all, just not pointy.

Really? It oddly makes complete sense to me.
Like the rest of the team he has a fairly unique approach to skating, doesn't take things too seriously, does sick manuals (Beagal has to be stoked) and he must love a good pint, being British and all.
I'll admit that he doesn't mesh so much with that new kid, but Lyric seems "kinda mid, NGL".
Is it his lack of hijinx?

it also has steeper kicks than the mellow/og shapes whenever I got one in the mystery box deal

Gonna pick up the B2 Casper deck so I can support Casper and get a chance to try the B2 shape in one go :)

this i like.
BAKER BAKER BAKER BAKER

Everyone who denied this happening with super confidence owes me one 8.5 Casper logo deck and one of the 8.25 Lotties graphics. Thank you for participating.

In the same way Jacopo makes sense , this also makes perfect sense

CASPER in the baker letters just looks good, the dopest ghost

Good little interview with Casper
"Then I decided I couldn’t just do it in my house so I cycled to Southbank and sat on the stairs by the water with two cans of Heineken."
The classic big decisions/calls at the skate spot. I know this life.
Also, what is this?!?!?
"When Jake Harris decided he was no longer going to do a skateboard company he was speaking to [Andrew] Reynolds about something completely different. "

Such a feel good interview. It really is amazing how stoked he is and not trying to cool guy it. Hyped for him and what the future holds.

Bringing this back up. I see SW has his board for sale. Did I miss an announcement or did they just not bother with one?

I’m more shocked that it’s $71.99. I swear that might be the most expensive 8.0 board I’ve seen so far

Does anyone know (or have any good guesses) as to who Mike Arnold is going to skate for?

haven’t seen a board come into the local in the last month that’s under $70

Realized I don't follow Casper on IG. He posted pics of the deck in Sept so I guess I just missed it

That’s clever. Would go well with a clip of that one dude saying “Brooker” three times fast in a dubbed English accent.
