I would normally say get rid of Sammy Baca, but Nuge claims that Baca is supposedly trying to put a part together for Baker 4. At least I remember him saying something like that.

shouldn't

Ideally Dollin would take a job behind the scenes at Baker boys, but something tells me he wouldn't quite know how to hold a job for long. Also I'm gonna give Zach Allen the benefit of the doubt for a year or so to hopefully see what Reynolds sees in him.
I don't really understand what's going on and I haven't read this thread yet, but I can tell I'm angry.

Get rid of the following:

Dollin
Allen
Baca
Beasley
Kennedy
Nuge

Loyalty and friendship count for a lot, but it didn't work out all that well for crail.

Herman, TK, Baca, Nuge, Theotis and Figgy all  just seem like a financial burden to the company nowadays. Not sure if Dollin skates anymore, but don't think he should be dropped. Never heard of Hill and Allen.

Im biased but I never ever presume to know the Boss's biz better than the Boss does

Side note. Chaz rising Baker boards lately, what's up with that?

Dollin is the only one I think should be a legacy, dude still puts out little clips here and there and gets out there.

Surprising how many people aren't against cutting Dollin because the common sentiment in just about every thread he's brought up in is that he's a pile and is wasting his sponsors' money

I saw your mom do a ollie to cooch drop straight down the big black pole, it was gnarly. she defiantly shut that shit down

fucking, joy

I’m pretty sure Dustin has been a key part of editing and production since Bake and Destroy when he was injured.  I remember in an interview with Greco that it was mostly them editing The Deathwish Video.  They’ll probably keep his name on a board just out of loyalty and paying him is probably like paying a bakerboy employee.

Figgy is such a weird example of a modern pro because it seems like he just drops massive parts every 4-5 years without much footage in between.

Cyril Jackson was someone who got so much hype as an am and then people stopped caring when he turned pro.  Kids seem to love him, which makes us wonder why Baker even needs to send Theotis a check.

Still weird there was never a pro part from Dee.  I really like all his Supra footage, but I’m still waiting for something that makes me believe this guy is distinct enough for someone to want his name on a board.

Got nothing but love for Nuge and Baca but did they even have tricks in the Converse video?  I don’t think either will have a full part again and neither are drawing anybody in.

Everyone else is either full legend status, has a draw, is the future, or TK.

The only thing I can think of for Donta Hill is that they see something in him to have the the potential for the mix of power and style down a rail, but they’re too busy having him Train as a boxer so he can one day knock out Terry, cover it up by pinning it on his never ending domestic and gang troubles, and they can be off the hook of keeping their first? AM.

In what world does one keep spanky but get rid of Herman. You either have them both or just Herman. He’s just the better skater. Hands down. I love spanky but pile spanky couldn’t touch pile Herman’s output an consistency

I'd cut Bryan Herman, because his friend was a dick to me at the park and Bryan giggled about it.

It is petty, but his friend's actions were unprovoked and since then I've done my best to make sure no shop I ever worked at had anything with his name on it.

Plenty of pros are raising families. It’s not an excuse. When was the last time you saw any ads or photos or video of Baca?

He had a couple of clips in Purple, but yeah, he hasn't really done much since like Skate Rock 2012?

He might care a little bit. Over the years, my mini-boycott probably kept a few hundred bucks out of his pockets. It isn't like the kids were going to drive to another shop just to get a Herman board or his Thunder trucks.

Shit, now that I think about it. I can't remember a single kid coming in and asking for someone's pro model trucks. It was always a spur of the moment purchase. Do people go looking for a pro's trucks? I have Koston's but it had very little to do with him and everything to do with the trucks themselves.

Kooked. But only cause I’ll back whatever Herman does cause he’s been my favorite skater since baker 3 in 8th grade.

Spanky is putting out clips weekly? Herm is great but he is definitely looking more washed up at this point than Spanky.
