Title: Braydon should be pro for Baker again!
Post by: mr cheese on November 01, 2016, 10:04:15 AM
Definitely deserves it after that Halloween part! Spanky and him are skating better then ever. Seems like getting the boot a few years back actually helped them out in the long run. Pretty inspiring!

I thought the berries part was cool and all but no where near the caliber of skating in his Baker 3 part. Dude is a Hollywood burnout now

Not really pal. Braydon doesnt seem to be with that crew anymore kinda burned bridges with Reynolds and BB. When Sparky got the boot he was still around with all those guys on a daily basics posting stuff on social media then eventually got his board again but the case with Braydon is different.

But hey, maybe Krooked.

agreed.  if you grind a ledge and when you come off you're barely moving, either pop out earlier, or go faster.  Landing dead-stop is my biggest pet peeve.

You know how the people that "get the boot" on Baker actually somehow stick around the company/crew ? Like how Shane Heyl is still part of BB doing what he always did. Lenoce was recently doing TM stuff while the young bucks were on Chicago if I remember correctly the city. And there are guys like Baca that just have a board per season and hes always showing love to the brand.

When Braydon was of Baker he "move it on" really quickly. Do you ever see the guy with a Baker board since that? Nope. Thats the answer pal, maybe he was a little resentful about the whole thing but he take it on a way that is clearly hes not down with BB. Shame on him.

The fact that Sparky skated Baker boards and Emericas shoes on that period of time shows how royal hes and thats a very important thing to the Boss. Thats why I respect Reynolds so much cause hes loyal to his people and he expect the same back, hes always talking about that. To me is common sense and I can relate to that. It was no really Instagram drama and that bullshit of this modern age and I dont know what happened behind close doors but hes been doing a different deal for the last couple of years and to be honest I didnt miss him at all.

So you make all these assumptions based on no facts, but rather on your opinion of what a person should do in regards to which boards and shoes he rides after getting kicked off a company.  Shame on him for not wearing their gear still!  No, shame on you instead for talking shit out of your ass about a situation you likely have no info on. Don't spread misinformation based on your frankly naive and warped world views jackass.  I know nothing of the situation either, but honestly it wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that he still skates and hangs with that same crew.

Reynolds moved on to the younger guys again just like he did when he kicked off maldonado and steamer and replaced em with spanky and herman and braydon. then he kicked off those guys and moved on to Dee and Cyril and that other little kid who rips. and once those guys burn out he will move on to some younger kids and kick off Dee and shit. by that time reynolds will be old and grey and still doing giant frontside flips. If anything reynolds is the one who claims baker is a tight family but will drop you the second you aren't relevant anymore...

braydons first trick was tight

One of the reasons I made this post

The reason why TK have a board on Baker is because hes still skating Baker boards. If that Szanfrancisco new part the guy is showing Baker logos with every late-flip of course The Boss would put something for him. A BakerxBerrics at least. Even this part could be a Welcome to Deathwish kinda thing but hes skating LE boards.

Dickson is on Emerica why ? Because he was skating Emericas and with the Emerica team for a while. Thats how it works. Reynolds have TK back since many years ago and viceversa. If you need to remember for how long, here:

I WANNA BE A BAKER! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_SqZ_lANm0#)

The Bootleg thing was a fiasco. Its a bummer that Elissa and Maldonado were at that company cause after that both of them faded away. Its a shame the 18 didnt take Elissa. Maldonado is a legend and that Terror of Planet X board was really nice. I like that company.

Skatetrivia: did Maldonado had a pro shoe back in the day ? I honestly dont know.  ;)

How do you get baker boards if you're not on the team anymore? I doubt he would be buying boards, for anyone of a pro caliber that would be an expensive excersise. You can't tell me Jon Dickson was out buying emerica shoes, he was definitely getting flowed for a short period of time...

You know, I can take that on a good way and dont rush with that kind of assumptions on the future cause I perceive Im beign misunderstood here. Its easy to write your mind on this place and is clear so many people care about this happening so ok, my bad to rush with my composition, shit, english is still a little hard to me.

Maybe the "burned bridges" is a very powerful sentence that I dont fully understand. Its so bad to write that ? That means theres bad blood and hate and stuff? cause its cool that Beagle filmed stuff with him and all that. Hes helping a friend to bring something to the crazy pro skateboarding world.

We all agree that him beign fired as a professional Baker skateboarder means that the paycheck isnt going anymore to his bank account and thats totally bussiness but he isnt retired and after many months he isnt really fully on another board company. He didnt started a new brand. So...if nobody is paying him money to represent a brand why not stay with the person/company that take care of you on the first place if theres nothing like bad blood between. Heres the Sparky/Lenoce/Heyl example again but well maybe thats the exception and not the rule.  

My final thought on this issue and trying to be more specific is that I dont think BB is that much on a budget that its red numbers to give some ex-rider that was on so many years a box of boards every once in a while and that former pro keep showing those boards on social media. Maybe a clip on some Weekend Warriors or something like that keeps that former pro somehow relevant and stuff. Something that keeps the wheels rolling somehow even if theres not royalties involved. Or maybe get some deal with Andrew with some photo incentive with that Lil Wayne World Tour or something in the past. But he decide to skate blanks for a long time. Thats a statement there.

Heyl still skates Baker boards and he isnt going to Zumiez to buy his boards full price or maybe yes cause then again Im not personally involved with his daily routine. Isnt a crazy thing to think Andrew would send a memo "hey just sell boards to Shane (or Braydon like we are talking about) on the warehouse without full price, just the minimum cost"cause that make senses to me and the word to that is pro-flow. Right ? Even when this recent Berrics project why not call Andrew and say "hey Im doing this thing and I want to ride Baker boards".

If I myself can buy boards from the company my friend runs and I really dig with a really low price why Braydon cant ? The guy even flow me some extra boards or wheels or a t-shirt or whatever here and there and he is always asking if I need anything else. Im just spreading the good word on his product cause is the bomb. I dont even skate with that skate team but the owner got my back and viceversa. Whats different on a major scale ?! Just dollars ?!

The true is Szfrancisco is skating with LE boards (or that was someone wrote here) that maybe he recieves free on the mail or maybe hes buying somewhere in the LA area, maybe on a Zumiez but those boards werent Baker on the Halloween video and thats my point why Braydon shouldnt be pro for Baker again and thats whats this thread about. I dont even type "because he doesnt sell boards anymore" cause again...how many Baca boards do you think theres out there ?! BB isnt about board sales or thats how I feel that camp since the year 2001. Its about ride Baker boards, thats the whole point of be a BakerBoy.

If somebody can tell us about the whole history (Brink, you already finish that MJ rebuttal ? Heres another job to you) that would make Slap day as it seems. A Free Lunch with Braydon kinda thing. A whole Pro Spotlight on Transworld. A new Berrics video with him and his phone photo-roll. Something to bring light on this but who knows, maybe nobody gives a fuck besides us to ever take the time to ask the big question.

The true is Szfrancisco is skating with LE boards (or that was someone wrote here) that maybe he recieves free on the mail or maybe hes buying somewhere in the LA area, maybe on a Zumiez but those boards werent Baker on the Halloween video and thats my point why Braydon shouldnt be pro for Baker again and thats whats this thread about. I dont even type "because he doesnt sell boards anymore" cause again...how many Baca boards do you think theres out there ?! BB isnt about board sales or thats how I feel that camp since the year 2001. Its about ride Baker boards, thats the whole point of be a BakerBoy.

If somebody can tell us about the whole history (Brink, you already finish that MJ rebuttal ? Heres another job to you) that would make Slap day as it seems. A Free Lunch with Braydon kinda thing. A whole Pro Spotlight on Transworld. A new Berrics video with him and his phone photo-roll. Something to bring light on this but who knows, maybe nobody gives a fuck besides us to ever take the time to ask the big question.



Sorry, could you expand on your theory some more please.  The brevity of your post left me with many questions that still need to be answered.

Sammy Baca is a Fucking legend out some respect on that locos name for real. Braydon is an idiot that was 10 years too late to be a piece of shit with Greco and Ali so he made up for it with face tats. Now he does casperflips. Dude should just get a job answering the phone at a tattoo shop in Vegas and put it down. He did have the ill backside shiftyflip in this is skaateboarding. But that was 13 years ago fuck outta here free Max b

I'm being nice and not using harsh words as the dude before me did, but Pablo, you have no idea what your talking about with your whole, 'he burnt his bakerboys bridges because when baker kicked him off he wouldn't continue to skate their boards' that he would have had no way to afford. Just please don't make assumptions and act like you know all the details about a situation when your not personally involved in.

Hey everybody this guy is personally involved.


I'd like to see him get a board because I think it would be funny for them to take it away again.
[close]

You know, I can take that on a good way and dont rush with that kind of assumptions on the future cause I perceive Im beign misunderstood here. Its easy to write your mind on this place and is clear so many people care about this happening so ok, my bad to rush with my composition, shit, english is still a little hard to me.

Maybe the "burned bridges" is a very powerful sentence that I dont fully understand. Its so bad to write that ? That means theres bad blood and hate and stuff? cause its cool that Beagle filmed stuff with him and all that. Hes helping a friend to bring something to the crazy pro skateboarding world.

We all agree that him beign fired as a professional Baker skateboarder means that the paycheck isnt going anymore to his bank account and thats totally bussiness but he isnt retired and after many months he isnt really fully on another board company. He didnt started a new brand. So...if nobody is paying him money to represent a brand why not stay with the person/company that take care of you on the first place if theres nothing like bad blood between. Heres the Sparky/Lenoce/Heyl example again but well maybe thats the exception and not the rule.  

My final thought on this issue and trying to be more specific is that I dont think BB is that much on a budget that its red numbers to give some ex-rider that was on so many years a box of boards every once in a while and that former pro keep showing those boards on social media. Maybe a clip on some Weekend Warriors or something like that keeps that former pro somehow relevant and stuff. Something that keeps the wheels rolling somehow even if theres not royalties involved. Or maybe get some deal with Andrew with some photo incentive with that Lil Wayne World Tour or something in the past. But he decide to skate blanks for a long time. Thats a statement there.

Heyl still skates Baker boards and he isnt going to Zumiez to buy his boards full price or maybe yes cause then again Im not personally involved with his daily routine. Isnt a crazy thing to think Andrew would send a memo "hey just sell boards to Shane (or Braydon like we are talking about) on the warehouse without full price, just the minimum cost"cause that make senses to me and the word to that is pro-flow. Right ? Even when this recent Berrics project why not call Andrew and say "hey Im doing this thing and I want to ride Baker boards".

If I myself can buy boards from the company my friend runs and I really dig with a really low price why Braydon cant ? The guy even flow me some extra boards or wheels or a t-shirt or whatever here and there and he is always asking if I need anything else. Im just spreading the good word on his product cause is the bomb. I dont even skate with that skate team but the owner got my back and viceversa. Whats different on a major scale ?! Just dollars ?!

Not really pal. Braydon doesnt seem to be with that crew anymore kinda burned bridges with Reynolds and BB. When Sparky got the boot he was still around with all those guys on a daily basics posting stuff on social media then eventually got his board again but the case with Braydon is different.

But hey, maybe Krooked.

Everything you've said has just been conjecture and unwarranted. You just made up a story in your head and stated as if it were fact with no evidence and then went on an obnoxiously long rant that really only paints a portrait of why that could hypothetically be the case with again absolutely no evidence.

Not surprising, dude is a known asshole.

From the Quartersnacks Celebrates The Decade Top 100 NY Moments List:

22. Brayden Szvgsavsyfferszki meets Tron Jenkins, 2008:
In direct conflict with the often exaggerated, cool-guy, rock star, not-giving-a-fuck attitude exemplified by Death Wish and friends, Brayden encountered a harsh reality check outside of a dingy East 5th Street and 2nd Avenue establishment when he forgot that he was no longer in that awful cesspool of cultural degradation know as Hollywood, California by greeting a fellow teammate with the phrase, "What's up nigger?"
"What the fuck did you say?" exclaimed Mr. Jenkins.
"Yo dude, my bad, I'm really sorry yo," replied the shaken, dress-wearing degenerate with a look of concern distinctly nestled above the bat bellow his eyes.
"You can't be fucking talking out here like that," said Mr. Jenkins.
"I know man, my bad. Sorry, dude. Yo, what's you name man? I'm Brayden."
"I met you five minutes ago. Get the fuck out of my face."

Yeah it was the og block logo board. I was most shocked at dollin tbh, it was in oz so thought he would show a little more love but ahwell. I think brayden is definitely past his prime and no longer an option for baker but they guy should be on something legit, there are a lot of guys out there milking it harder over the years.

It makes sense getting rid of old riders who aren't as marketable anymore, but is he really that unmarketable? I mean the guy had two pro shoes on a big company, the first of which skated like a better version of the EE with more board-feel.
Anyway spotlight or not, I've always been a big fan of his skating and I found this part very enjoyable. He has a deep bag of tricks and at least has a unique style (both in terms of clothes and in his skating). I wonder what the hell happened with him and Supra too, he was on the team for what, a few months?
In this day and age of skateboarding I would have thought he could have kept his career going with a solid shoe sponsor while riding whatever boards he wanted. Anyway, I'm thankful we are getting some new footage of Batface.

dude is a known asshole.

My good friend who owns the skateshop here in town was out in Vancouver for the premiere of Stay Gold. After the premiere he was catching a cab at the same time as Braydon and my friend knew they were staying at the same hotel so he suggested they split a cab. I should state that this dude is not a a Braydon fan so there's no way he was fanning out trying to hang out with the dude. Along the way Braydon told the cab driver to pull over to holler at some girls to see if they wanted to do coke. Then they stopped at 7-11 to get some snacks. Finally when they got to the hotel Braydon allowed my friend to pay for the cab. While on the way back to the hotel my friend got a text from friends telling him what room the party was in, so him and Braydon headed up to the party room. When they got there Braydon made a big celebratory scene about his arrival to the party then let everyone in the room know "I don't know who this dude is, he's been following me around all night!"

"I know man, my bad. Sorry, dude. Yo, what's you name man? I'm Brayden."
"I met you five minutes ago. Get the fuck out of my face."


LOL

It seems though Brayden and even a lot of Baker dudes grew up from then till now. I am sure that was just the peak of a lot of people's careers. Can't totally blame them for letting that shit get to their head. At least he seems cooler than before since reality has hit with his skateboarding career. I even figured Dollin would have chilled out by now but he still seems like the same person imo. Almost everyone from that OG PD crew seems to be in a different place.

Should have bought it, could probably sell that on Ebay for $13.00 in a few years. It's always good to have a nest egg.

It's gonna be hilarious when the entire Baker team and PD crew are 100% sober.

Maybe after Dollin dies.
