Yeah Right vs Sorry vs Baker 3

After hearing crob and jeron harp on about yeah right for the 200th time I just wanted to say yeah right isn’t even top 5 of the 2000s and baker 3 is probably the best video of the era just cause kids have seen it even today. Sorrys impact is less meaningful today cause flip has been a shell of a company for 15 years but it’s definitely #2 .

The thing with yeah right is outside of Koston and p rod the average kid doesn’t know who the fuck anyone on the team is anymore. I’d go as far to say that fully flared has outdone yeah rights legacy at this point with how many of the younger pros claim that as their first video.

At the end of day though the only brand whose image has kept up with the kids is baker and that makes baker 3 the most influential video at the end of the day in my opinion.

Baker 3 wouldn’t exist if Baker2G didn’t take off like a rocket and make stars of everyone and make the deck company a necessity and it basically elevated Emerica since Reynolds, Ellington, and Greco were their riders and everyone was seemingly wearing/spray painting Reynolds back then.   Baker 2G influenced skaters, skate crews, other brands came into existence because they were trying to cash in on that image.   Rolling Stone articles, I Want to Be A Baker, all of this was pre Baker 3.

Simple reason why Baker 3 > Baker2g...Baker 2g didn't have an Ellington part

all of this is wrong. Baker2G is the best baker video and Ellington had a ton of clips in the PD section.

people thinking Baker starting at Baker2G is funny to me. It was the Warner Ave crew. They all rode for different teams and formed a super team of burners.

re: did Baker Launch with Baker 2G

From what I remember, Baker Bootleg came out (all leftovers from The End + on birdhouse boards, no baker boards yet, full boulala part) then shortly after maybe 6 months, the ads and boards first dropped, and then like within another few months they had baker 2G out.

This is incorrect. When baker2g dropped there were J Strickland style ads and the elephant logo board that later become the bootleg logo. Not sure if those decks were ever actually sold in shops. But baker was not a skateboard brand at that point

[DannyDee]

I think Photo is the best video overall when it comes to aesthetics and editing. When it comes to just skating, I'll lean Yeah Right, that has Koston at his peak, an iconic Gino and MJ parts, McCrank at his prime, good footage from Carroll and Howard, P-Rod on the come up etc.

Photo has great skating, and was highlighting East Coast skating more, which at the time felt underrepresented, and is edited in an amazing package. I find Photo the most unique, Yeah Right, Sorry and Baker 3 are very heavy with SoCal spots and hitting big spots worldwide (Sorry is a bit more worldly in some parts due to the team). Yes, I know Yeah Right has clips from my city (Toronto), but it has a lot of spots you see in other videos with regularity for that era. I like the rawness of Dill mostly skating NYC, Kalis and a lot fo the Habitat guys killing love etc.

I believe the first Baker video and Baker2G wasn't that much of stuff from the End. The End was filmed in 35mm I believe, and was therefore incredibly expensive for a skatevideo. The Baker videos came out of them skating with Strickland because they wanted to just film regularly where each bail was costing Birdhouse a ton of money.

Don't believe a few clips = a part.

Baker 3 is without a doubt the Baker video you throw in the mix to go against Yeah Right and Sorry. It's Baker's most iconic and popular video. Weed saves lives.

[veritas]

pretty sure id take photo over mosaic? idk maybe not
they are both really good
mosaic feels a bit more cohesive i suppose

Photo and mosaic were both 30-33 minute videos, yeah right and sorry are an hour and Fully flared is a whopping 80+ minutes before the credits roll. Workshop and habitat made the classic video of just skateboarding you can watch from start to finish without skipping parts

I like watching Kostons part on mute and syncing up the intended song (Prince - let's go crazy), which is infinitely more enjoyable.

All the vids mentioned are gold standard in my eyes. Especially Yeah Right / Sorry / Baker 3

Five pages deep and no mention of Real to Reel?

There was a lot of hype around This is Skateboarding and the DC Video around the times of their releases

Baker 3 felt like one of the first videos that was instantly accessible on the internet. Yeah of course that video probably had the largest influence on skateboarding culture of the decade

FF was all anyone talked about for nearly 2 years (lead-up and after its release). FF basically broke the internet back then

Sorry! is goat-level for all the reasons previously stated

Mosaic was my personal favorite from the minute it dropped through today. Pretty fucking perfect and timeless

[close]

Mosaic is the true perfect video. People saying Sorry but Alex Chalmers and Rune Glifberg parts were the weak points. Mosaic is a marsterpiece.

[close]

How dare you diminish Alex Chalmers' contribution to skate culture at large. That part birthed one of the greatest skate quotes of all time.

Also, Rune rules.

[close]

Part is garbage…whole skatepark clips accelerated clips made it worse.

[close]

Rune's part is one of the best vert part of all times!

[close]

Nah in my view its PLG digital and Darkstar part.

bro rune had one of the most watchable/ unskipable vert parts in history. deadass.

makes me so happy to seem hill still skating at CPH

[vktrvghn]

Sorry was the first skate video I ever saw, I doubt it had much influence on me though

[biggums mcgee]

mosaic feels a bit more cohesive i suppose

If I had to compare I'd make this list of the crunchy early 00s videos:

Mosaic
Ipath promo
Photosynthesis
Static II
Honorable mention - Real to Reel

Pops & Freddy in Mosaic> their parts in photo. Pops in particular *really* came into his own (and sadly peaked) during Mosaic. Renaud, debatably peak Janowski. Much more cohesive front to back , maybe a couple more skippable parts in Mosaic but the music , editing and even filming made up for those.

If I ran a brick and mortar skate shop I'd have Mosaic playing on the TV on loop, aesthetically pleasing video.

Ha.... I just picked up a Thrasher from 2000 and flipped through it...there's an ad in there for Baker2G and the product, but yeah it's not Baker Skateboards...so technically Baker2G isn't a Baker Skateboards video, it's a Jay Strickland video..

[tadej Pog]

Like I said before. Ignore dumb takes that put photo as one of the best videos e ever. Low level of skating compared to other videos from the same era. Its the most slap thing despite wallies.

[layzieyez]

It’s Mosaic for me. No skips. Just rips.

Yeah Right and Sorry I have to vert button past skits and much of the appeal of those videos when they were the bleeding edge is the impact of a lot of tricks have weakened.

The worst part is they don’t make me feel like I need to go skate after watching them. Mosaic makes me want to roll.

Mosaic is the most perfect video ever… high level skating, good music, no skits, not too long and nice fits from skaters.

It’s Sorry and it isn’t as close as some of you are making out.

No con, no connivance, no contrivance.

Fully agree on Mosaic, it was peak Habitat that Inhabitants could never reach.

Now that you mention it, there was maybe a 4 month period where I would watch Mosaic daily after school.

I don’t know that I’d place it atop the pantheon of that particular era, but I’d certainly qualify it as top personal influence.

[countjunkie]

HK’s part in sight unseen is an absolute classic and i’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned here. as far as early 2000’s videos go it’s gotta be menikmati and volcom’s let’s live. best chima part and RIP shane & lewis. jake duncomb and dustin dollin have honorable mentions too.

Top 3 Street skaters will always be Koston / MJ / Reynolds.   Rank them however you please.

i respect that some of ya'll are trying to convince yourselves  that mosaic is better than sorry.

 its good asf tho, dont get me wrong.....

No real slo-mo or double angles in an age when videos were lousy with that shit
