I liked Slash, Moose and Furby. Delfino, Dickson, Foy and Hayes? Not so much

you have horrible taste

A bunch of fat guys. Not my thing

Dickson is built like a brick shithouse. Hayes is skinny as a motherfucker. Foy could cut some weight but he’s naturally big boned as fuck, like not like cartman saying it, but like he legitimately is just a big dude, could have been a linebacker if he wanted to. Delfino has some weight he could lose too, but I wouldn’t even go so far as to call him fat.

jumping in on lizard team
dudes sick! i get some of his tricks could be seen as gimicky but who cares? I saw him skate in person once and was surprised at how good he was. super entertaining to watch

I saw him skate a demo recently and he was pretty sick. Really snappy kickflips, fast long grinds and big gaps. I don't really dig his skate footage so shows that some people are better to watch in person

[fs overkrook]

Why the fuck are you discussing the weight of these guys? Seriously? You are fucking idiotic and probably overweight yourselves

None of the those dudes are fat. Hayes is a rail. Also are you trolling?! You have to be trolling  I refuse to believe any human has that terrible of taste. There’s no way you prefer the 3 lamest dudes from death wish over the 4 best.

[close]

I’m not trolling

Moose’s part in the Deathwish video was nuts, i guess everybody hated it because of the unforgivable crime of wearing beanies

I’ll take Furby and Slash over the bland Crisco boys on Deathwish now. Dickson is a fat guy, Foy is a fat rail jock with three tricks, and Delfino and Hayes are non-entities

but opinions, eh?

Although I disagree with most of your above stated ideas, I also quite liked Moose’s part in the Deathwish Video.

It’s all personal preference, anyway.

I get why people don’t like lizard king but he’s definitely a pretty talented skater

[soccer mom]

I skated with Lizard once at a skatepark he was insanely good. I was so surprised, he was skating a tall ledge doing every flip in flip out grinds plus is good at manuals. skated the flat bar and rail to, but I figured he was good at that. Anyway he rips and was super nice to everybody. I'd like to see a Lizard Nine Club

for some reason every time the camera is on him, he's either dropping in on some roof or putting his hand down on a f/s boardslide

This message board needs a barf emoji for discussing Lizard's front boards.

[Sondor]

the first trick is burned in my brain
heavy introduction

[nino brown]

lizard king always been trash. dont care about ur fucking drop ins
spanky shouldnt be a pro stuck at am level of skating forever
kader and jacoppo are bakers only hope right now.

[hateboard]

I dont get why people think Kader is going to deliver, seems like a nice kid and all but apart from that bomb-drop has he done anything else of worthy mention? I’m not hating on him, if anything his fuck it attitude is justified in this modern skate climate, theres little point and cash to being a pro skater anymore. That being said, to make a memorable Baker part, it needs to be mind melting next level hammers, not nice guy sitting under a handrail, playing fortnite and being pushed round in a shopping cart.

[Bristol_Palin]

When Lizard King went pro for think he and a full video come out and it was probably his sickest part. I remember really liking it. I wish I could find it now, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist anymore.

Was that with the massive ollie over that double-set rail?

Yeh styles good.. I guess it comes down to did he land the face melters as well on those days or did he pack up after the insta clips were in the bag. Back smith through that kinker would look solid!

In this Elissa interview, it doesn't sound like the Baker vid is coming out any time in the near future. Unless she's trying not to give away spoilas for a near release?

I've loved all the other videos Baker has put out but I'm a little apprehensive about Baker 4. Really not into Figgy, Riley, Theotis (how the fuck hasn't this dudes board been pulled), CJ (hate coloured grip), Zach etc.

As long as there's a Rown part and some clips of Herman and Reynolds, Elissa and Spanky it should be worth the wait.

Cautiously optimistic I guess...

Come on, have some faith in Drew's editing. You know he's watching all these new vids coming out (Polar, Blessed, 917, Converse) and getting stoked on them, and he's shown he's definitely capable of making something instantly memorable and classic.

He gets a very reasonable amount of coverage and he’s clearly saving his best footage for a big video. What’s not to get?

[PABLOS SWANPOWERS LOBSTER]

What other company gets 12 page Pre-video thread? Baker still the most relevant company in skateboarding.

I remember the days when you didn't see ANY of a skater's footage until the video came out.

Oh, those were the days.

Yeah, it’s weird how much people long for the days of proper full lengths but then think someone is blowing it when they’re actually saving footage for a project.

Agreed.

I personally hate the Instagram era, where every skater feels some sort of pressure to post a gnarly trick/line at least once a week or whatever. When they don't reveal their entire part on Instagram, people think they are just sitting on their couch with their thumb up their ass.

[TABAZ]

just hoping Rowan stays on long enough for this. I would like his footage to stay un-strobeck'ed for as long as possible. Call me crazy but I like to seek the torso of skaters in footage.

ya his last post was a blank board which had me shook but Baker team is too strong i don't think he would leave

Had this conversation the other day. Had high hopes for kader 3 years ago but his output these days compared to other guys like Ishod, mike mo , Cory etc at the same age is trash. He better come in heavy with that baker part cause even the vans footage the other day is mediocre

Those guys didn't put out much before their first real parts.... give it time, he's already put out more than mike mo in his whole career.

Thats regular, Mo was putting out tech cameo shit for years alongside p-rod and ‘nugget’. Kader would probably win skater of the year if his baker 4 part was half as good as Mo’s Fully Flared part. Kader is like TK in many ways, The hype created by Reynolds and the mythology around him build to the point everyone jumps on board, but unlike lord shalom himself, I can see Kader going the way of trainwreck or some other scene burnout and giving skating up completely.

Kader’s already had his first real part so now it does seem like he’s on a downhill slide.
