yea the impossible standards thing is true. baker 3 was epic for me not only for what it was but for when it came out. i was in like 7th grade when i watched ellington start up that chainsaw and bray lighting that huge joint. now much older with a chip on my shoulder i dont think a skate vid will ever shock me in the same way b3 did.
that said, if the skating is legit and i get some good laughs and theres some memorable quotes, ill call that a success.
