I really enjoyed the video. As a long time Baker fan I think what might of been lacking in groundbreaking never before seen skating was made up for with overall charisma and good vibes.
As other people have mentioned, the shots of Andrew, Ellington, Elissa, Dollin, Herman etc still skating in the streets after all these years really shows how tight the Baker 'family' actually is. Dollin and Boulala at the piano and also Dollin after he stacks bad ollie'ing into the bank are other kind of heart wrenching moments. Even though I've never met these guys, I feel like I've grown up with them.
There was some great skating throughout and I was surprised how much I liked the newer guys- Kader (i finally get it now, kid is great and will get even better), T-funk and Jacopo both killed it. The younger guys seem like they really gel together and get hyped off each other.
The editing felt a little loose at some points i.e Bacas part could of carried a bit more impact if edited different. It almost had the vibe of a really classic ballad part like Rowley in Really Sorry, Dan Lu in Propeller or HK in Sight Unseen but something just didnt hit the spot.
Reynolds had some really good clips throughout it and I hope all his footage gets a good re-edit at some point.
Riley's footage served no real purpose. Zach is fairly weak. Both these guys could do with being phased out.
Rowan probably had my favourite part but I wish it was longer. Dude has one of the best styles and trick selections in modern skating.
Overall I loved it and it made me want to buy a Baker board even just to hang it on the wall. Props all round.
