Baker 4 coming in August

reynolds and ellington doing tricks down those stairs is the best moment

[The Ghost of Lenny Kirk]

video feels really good once you hit reynolds part. all the editing from that point forward is very good.

herman skating to ariel pink is so so random but bc of the way that transitions to stella to elisa, i can see why they would use it.

the OGs all killed it and had great parts but felt like all the new kids dont let beagle film hijinx or something and that dragged an otherwise great video down. or maybe theyre just really boring. they couldve made all the new kids share a part because they didnt have the footage to justify full ones imo, or at least shrink them down to the size of szafranski's part in baker 3. also the editing and song selection made the kids parts feel very slow. there are like specific chunks of songs that might be worth using for a short instagram clip but dont work in a full part, like in tyson's and zach allen's parts. also the high fiving in their parts was bordering on pretty sweet territory..... they could've easily put in a deathwish section bc the kids parts felt like web clips for thrasher.

i think what hurts this vid is that a lot of the good stuff was used in other vids or wasnt filmed in the correct format. but i mean what do you do, not release it for another year?

beagle with best part. rowan second.

[Pavs323]

I loved it.

Not really any point during that video I felt it dragged on for my taste personally. The only part I could probably skip on next watch was Tyson’s. Don’t know why but his part just didn’t do much for me. Still wasn’t bad though.
My favorites were Kader, Tfunk Jacopo, Reynolds, and Figgy. Dickson’s trick in Figgys part was sick, cannot get enough footage of that guy. My favorite style in the game right now.
Respect to Baca. I think being put in the category of “milking it” for awhile now lit a fire under his ass to put a great part, and he did just that. 
Lastly, I feel I may get bullied for this, but to my surprise, I actually thought Zachs part was not half bad.

everyone saying this wasn't good is going to feel like an idiot when baker 4 is hailed as an instant classic

Nah, just going to look at those people like idiots. I certainly won't feel "feel like an idiot" just because some people call it a classic. That's a dumb statement to make.

Baker 4 stands in the shadow of baker 3. This shit was boring and bland. Some of the enders were noticeably weak.

This movie did not at all live up to its hype. Really don't care if people call this a classic. Anyone that calls this a classic should just go watch baker 3. That video is so obviously better.

[close]

I couldn't agree more with you. This video is flat and weak if you compare it with Baker 3.
Only part that I was kinda enjoying was Jacopo's at first until I saw the same spot like 5 times.
For me there are 2 kind of videos: the ones that make you want to skate and the ones that you're constantly checking how much time is left and when is finally over you feel like watching The Simpsons afterwards.
For sure I won't ever see this one again, maybe only Hawk part because of Nirvana.

Agreed video did not live up to the standard set by Baker 3. Bake and Destroy should have been Baker 4

hi greg how are you

[euro tm]

i take back everything i've ever said about zach. that part was strait trash.
we're not worthy of baca.

[BacksideWallride]

Taking a break at the hour mark. Skating is great. Editing is shit, did they have Strobek film it or is Beagle biting the worst filming style of all time. Too much slow-mo and face zooms.

And why have named parts when everyone is in everyone else's part?

Didn't feel Baker at all but Spanky killed it, Dollin too, and Theo way better then expected.

Maybe the last 20 minutes will redeem it for me

[hateboard]

Had some more time to soak on it and I do agree about the emotional (feeling) it had. But that emotion came from the old guard and the sadness of time passing. The sadness of knowing all good things must end. There was little to no feeling from the new kids. I feel the team themselves didnt respect the brand (Apart from Baca) and it looked like they filmed the majority of their shit in the last 6-12 months, the main event being that day at the nine stair. Baca to me was always treated like a hanger on, and this made him hungry to prove himself. To see him shine above most in this video is a powerful high point. Im actually bummed that I was right about Kader being hot air, one of those occasions you talk shit but secretly hope to be bitchslapped into submission. I appreciate Baker 4 being in my life, but its the end of an era for sure. I can see why Prod went to Brazil to find the next killer crew, those guys arent entitled and ruined by hype, they are hungry and let their skating do the talking (maybe also because they cant talk english). Same story with the new Japanese skaters killing it. The hollywood big money hype era is over, the meek shall inherit the wood.

[urbneathme]

kader’s shit tonally felt like a goodbye. kinda like “look at the fun times we had in your youth, enjoy FA”

also it’s wild that all the recently kicked off dudes aren’t even in the background of clips. probably explains a lot about why they aren’t on anymore

Wasn't this the general consensus for awhile years ago? I seem to remember Theo or someone like "Just wait til Baker 5"

It’s 100% subjective. If you feel like people are idiots  for having a different opinion than you, then you have a lot of growing up to do. Glad you enjoyed it, though!

[peacepappies]

the video was good. really liked the boss, ellington's footage, rowan, figgy and BACA!

kader is gonna be insane in 3 years.

theotis and that zach kid should get kicked they definitely made the video worse.

jeff lenoce ss heel was a nice treat.

won't watch again

Imagine taking this long to drop a video and it’s not even top ten for the year and probably doesn’t have a top ten part in the whole video. Classic indeed. Might be top ten by default because there aren't that my full lengths.

[thebacker]

Baca having last part would have been such a good decision

[Living Legends]

I didn't like it either and there was a lot of good skating in there. Music could have been way better, and cleaning up the editing by trimming shit down to 45 mins would have been smart. Baker 2019 squad seems more like riding the short yellow bus vibes than hijinks vibes. From all the immature 40 year olds to young adults who don't know how to dress. Crew seems regular lol.

[honey island]

yep. they fucked up there.

[Not A Damn Chance]

While it’s logical, comparing it to Baker 3 isn’t really fair.  Everybody was in their prime then.

I’m getting older and It’s so nice to finally see some familiar faces still fucking ripping like I remember.
It put a smile on my face.

Thanks for the link.

I liked Baker 4 however underwhelming. Slave video was better

"This video was fucking shambolic" - Gordon Ramsey

[Lenny the Fatface]

Video was sick, don't let nostalgia ruin what was a pretty fun video. Steamer footy was sick, Figgy doesn't spend money on clothes, Theotis' weight gain made every about his spending habits better, T-Funk and Kader are going to be insane 5 years from now. Overall a feel good vid that made me want to go out and skate.

[billyerlife]

Goddamn you all are some whiney little nerds. That was fucking great and Dustin had the best part. A Zero, Toy Machine, and Baker full length all within three months? These are good days.

ZACH ALLEN'S PART WAS REALLY SHIT.

Fuck, I was one second behind you. Had to explain how skate vids leak to my wife so she'd understand blatantly being on PH.

I dug it. Definitely lots to unpack. Any new Herman/Reynolds footy is always gold.

Some takeaways:

• Zach Allen isn't doing himself any favors
• Herman blessed us
• Baca filmed
• Theotis also not doing himself any favors
• Already forgot what Riley did
• Dollin's still got it
• Elissa's still got it
• Boss still puts the capital B in the Boss

[Glurmpz]

I miss when videos just showed the trick that was the focus of the clip instead of 30 seconds of rolling down the street doing flatground until you miss a trick and then another 20 seconds of hugs. Jesus that shit is sooooo played now. Every other clip. Toss maybe one or two of those in the whole video, max. End rant.

[heckler]

Did we all watch the same video? I actually enjoyed that and can see myself revisiting several parts. That’s saying a lot, considering I was never a baker kid and Baker is definitely not what I’m into.

It’s not 2005, Baker isn’t the same brand it was in 2005, and skate videos as a whole aren’t the same as they were in 2005... dunno why anyone would be surprised the video embodies Baker in 2019. Unless you guys wanted them to drop some kind of “thirteen years too late” thing like Zero did?

Tfunk is sick man
