I thought it was cool for a while until I realized that I was watching grown men in ski masks play with toys on Jersey barriers (while being "dark" and oh so "metal").

Yeah, it's fucking corny (so is like 75-80 percent of the skateboarding industry tbh).

  Its not corny just a little arty but the thing is when it comes to skating metal kinda went out with skinny jeans so the barrier kult gets left lookin wack.  The skater behind it should have gotten farther imo when he was a regular sponsored skater.  He was pretty rad.

It was a show on Vice with McCrank and he was with them. He looked shook at first, then looked like he thought it was funny.

Beyond the Black Metal stuff I find it weird and so restricting to only skate those barriers. Do they carry their boards to these little DIYs?

   It started out in canadian skate mags like color and others before becoming known about in the us.  The 1st inception wasnt meant to be corny at all.  It was more like a straight forward art thing as i remember.  I laugh that people assume its a joke tho, that in itself being funny.

Who's who?

I know Deer Man is Mike McKinlay, Sam McKinlay is Depth Leviathan Dweller (he's also the guy behind The Rita harsh noise walls project), PD of Skull Skates is a founding member (vertical cliffs of eastern shores), Austin Kanfoush is Permafrost, Haslam is the only one with a beard under his mask (the Muskellunge guy if I remember right).

I think Danforth and Adam Hoppkins is involved too (I think Adam is vlad the mountain impaler maybe? he is unmasked in the original horde video), I can't imagine Sam Hitz not being involved either. Can't figure out who LUTHER is even though he has obvious tattoo's nor who CTHYLLA (the girl) is.

Anybody ever heard of a guy named Venom? He used to dress up like an 80's rocker in the early 2000's and skate. He was at the Kids In Emerica premiere with some hoe's trying to jump the Pharmacy stairs hubba on a beach cruiser. Me and my friends will never forget that guy. He had flyers that said like "Let Me Loose" and I think "I want action". Been looking for stuff of him lately but can't find them.

After finding out Haslam was in BAKU I thought they were serious. I dig the whole horror vibe and intercut movie clips. I do get bored after a while and have to take a break; there is definitely some gnar stuff going on.

If you scroll down the first 10 comments or so, someone tags BAKU and they respond with ‘Stay off our barriers, Andy’

I’m not sure whether that’s funny that they don’t like him (since image-wise he is the complete opposite) or sad that claiming some public barriers as their own property.

Nope, they are dead serious. In the new Canadian love letters they interview the head dude and he talks about how they have very strict rules and ranks. He uses an example saying that certain patches have to be approved before you can wear them. Kinda funny. I back it though, seems like they don’t really give a fuck about the industry and are doing their own thing.

Wow no way! What's his name? What's the story with him? I'm from So Cal and we just saw him at the Kids In Emerica premiere in Victorville. I want to say he had a site and Nebraska sounds familiar for some reason. I think he was at some active demos too or something. I've thought about this dude for 15 years. Me and my friends still talk about him.

There's no way they take themselves seriously. They're grown adults, playing dress ups, pushing USELESS WOODEN TOYS up barriers. They are not Charles Manson.
My friends and I have this secret carpark we go to, not many other locals know about it, or just don't care, but we love it, and it's not such a stretch of the imagination to picture us getting dressed up in costumes to skate there, coming up with a silly name, filming some stuff, and trying to sell some merch. It would add an element of fun to something we already love.
I think that's literally all this is.

Skateboarding is filled with corniness, nearly every team and company image has humor within it at their expense. But to deny the skill it takes to skate Jersey barriers and just extremely steep/tight transition like that in general is ridiculous. Deer man is Mike Mckinlay and he destroys. Vertical Cliffs is Adam Hopkins, watch any footage of him...amazing. It’s just a side project for these guys, not to be taken too seriously. Outside of that, I’d say pretty much every BAKU member is extremely skilled at transition/street. And as others have mentioned, PD’s/skull skates is about as “core” as it gets and is a highly respected scene in Canada.

BAKU is just like a lot of things in metal in that they are totally joking but also think that some of the stuff they're talking about is cool. There's like .005% metal in skateboarding these days and half of it is corny as fuck (yes I'm talking about Jerry Gurney) so I don't know why OP is so bummed on these guys.

Are you even heavy metal, Harvey?

Metal will never be cool and I like it that way.

It was trendy or cool in the past and it will get recycled eventually, just like everything else created and consumed by humans.

right? should we do a thing where we only skate to witch house and only do tricks on knee high ledges and wear kiss makeup.

curb buddies (crb. bdz.)

i think this is a neat idea, but for the crew name you would need to include triangles and upside down crosses and shit to make up the name, instead actual letters.

okay fuck a bunch you guys hating on DMODW! Yeah I'll be the one with unpopular opinion, I liked the idea as an abstract view. The point I think is to consider the thought of what they're skating instead of who is skating, giving credence to a kvlt at large than an individual.

I think you have to take it with a pinch of salt.
Most metal bands look cool on stage but 90% of the time they're just metal dudes working standard jobs, I look at this the same.

I interviewed Leviathan Dweller for a zine, he was the coolest dude and the answers were fucking hilarious, remember when they sold those rubber "Sacrificial Knives" online with BAKU etched into them?

I think they were trying to somewhat "disrupt" the industry at the time and honestly it probably needed some shaking up. Were they 100% successful in their mission? Probably not, but they did probably make a few people think outside of the box in regards to music, tricks, board shapes etc. and their small/ tight crew vibe is kinda congruent with what's happening with all these microbrands at the moment; I could even draw comparisons between them and say the Magenta crew in terms of breaking from the mold/ treading their own path.
I don't listen to black metal, nor do I skate jersey barriers but if you're looking for people to hate within the industry then the BAKU crew should be very low on your list of priorities imho

I was gonna say something pretty satanic about how that MA. KU. video pissed all over your PA. KU one. But then you posted this, and I thought about the dreamcatcher, and how a good nights sleep is so fucking KULT that it really calmed me down, and I just thought, Man, aren't we all just trying our best to have fun?

I'd prefer a 60's-style Inherent Vice-esque skateboarding-based kult, personally. But I'm just not sure yet what you'd skate (maybe only those weird concrete waves you sometimes get at seaside towns?) or what kind of mask would be aesthetically/thematically suitable. But I know the drugs and outfits and soundtrack would be sick.

PM me with ASL and interests if you're into joining/submitting.
