Just got the video from wallie, opened it, Neck did the Jake Phelps on the carwash, Spanky caught a feather and Kader hurricaned hollywood 16 to a upbeat song. I haven't watched everything, but you guys just sound like a bunch of bitter old dudes to me right now.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but there’s not enough hijinx or three 6. Getting theotis to fill the “TK” role with nice items didn’t work for me either. They need Strickland

They've needed Strickland since Strickland.

I’m glad they did it how they did as of this is baker now instead of forcing an image of a company to look how it did 15- 20 years ago. Because That isn’t working for zero

Spot on.
Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

Haven’t finished watching the whole thing yet but I haven’t been this excited about a full length in quite some time. Initial thoughts are….

Kader: I wanted to like him, I really did, but the whole zoom-in-on-the-teen-face pedo vibes and the total bukkake of supreme labels made it feel more like a fuccboi ad than an actual part.

T-Funk: Skating to the Beastie Boys is always a plus in my book and heart attack man was the perfect fit for his skating. He actually could’ve ended the part with that song but then came through with some more wild hammers. I have a feeling Stranger would give him props for the hill bomb to wall ride at mach 10. Sure, he doesn’t have the greatest fits in the game, but I’m hardly one to talk as I probably looked 76x worse than him at that age decked out in goofy boy attire.

Dollin: Repping piss drunx till the day he dies. Kinda dumb to be still promoting that image after 18 + years (and the Ali stuff is pretty sad when you consider how he ended up) but at least we know he’s not trend hopping ala Grecs. Dustin will probably be carving PD symbols into tables at his retirement home at this point. Looking very very haggard but you can’t deny that he still has the balls to try some sketchy shit. I have a feeling he is a very sad and lonely human, but I doubt he’s ever going to let that let that get in the way of his live fast/ die (moderately) young image. For better or worse he put Australia on the map and hasn’t slowed down since despite the fact that his body is totally wrecked.

Jacopo: I love it when Baker finds raw talent and introduces them through their vids like they did with Antwuan. Kinda reminds me of when Pat Duffy just came out of nowhere in questionable. Dude skates with power no doubt, but yeah, would have liked to see him skate a few more spots…

Tyson: Doesn’t really do that much for me, I’m old though so take that as you will…

Spanky: Fucking hell, he looks magical on his board at the moment; I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is the best he’s ever looked in terms of style/ tricks. Hard to believe he once lost his pro model and had to earn it back while lots of other Baker riders milked it *hard glances at Theotis*. At this point I think his part might have the most rewatch value for me.

Herman: Can you really complain about a Herman part in 2019? I know I can’t…

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

video sucked

Ya'll whiny freeloading bitch ass newbs really expecting Baker2g or 3?

Sammy Baca dropped a full part and Dustin actually rolled away from all the crazy shit he tried to flip in/ollie into. Baker has been of Baker for a while now,some of that flavor is still there,but c'mon fuckos catch up.


Oh yea I hope Zach gets dropped from the team asap,he's Diet Antwuan in the making hijinx wise

It was good but it definitely lacked the signature Baker video feel. Do any of the new kids even hang out with each other outside of filming sessions? I could be wrong as I don't keep up with the magazines and shit, but it seems like the newer team is segmented.

It was a good watch but I don't think this video will fall under the "classics" category like 2g and 3. Only time will tell I guess.

Figgy is gnarly but I don't get anything out of watching him skate. Same with Baca.

I thought Rowan far and away had the best part. Spanky was surprisingly good.

I very much enjoyed this video.
 
Spanky and T-Funk and Dollin were my faves.

Thought the music selection and overall vibe was really good. I also like how Reynolds, Ellington, Dollin, Steamer, Heyl and co are all still hangin out havin a good time.

Only downside was that Zach Allen part was pretty average.

Is it true?  Or did you read it on the slap message board?

Shame that the TK footage ended up in that Muta part. The scary thing is, it would have been one of the best parts in Baker 4!

Fat, irresponsible with money, low impact Theotis is a complete vibe though.

He looks smoother than ever though! One of my favorite sections and I used to cringe watching theotis.

Spanky's section with the Ramones song was awesome.

I was unsure after Kader's part but ended up enjoying the video.
I thought it wasnt just him solo, shouldve stuck with my og thought.

wow that was sick, I really enjoyed it.

Kader's part was great, i really like his flip tricks down stairs. Esp backside flip, nollie back heel and FS half cab flip That Stones song fit great, I felt it captured Reynolds admiration and fatherly care for Kader.

T-Funk Half cab into wall was sick as fuck and gap fs wallride from the curb cut was insane. fakie flip on wilshire notable as well. Not really for me but no doubt some great stuff in there.

Beauty Ali part and Dusty was a huge surprise. Really came through considering 6 knee surgeries. Alex Cameron fit well. Might be time to move on from the painted on Peter Pan pants though?! Front heel was sick as

Jacopo Wilshire line was amazing. Great style and bag of tricks. his two tricks at the multi level marble ledges in europe were unreal, but really all his ledge stuff is great. Song fit well. Its cool that dudes are peppered throughout the video, outside their parts. EDIT: second watch this dude is amazing, switch bs flip over the can, and all those flip outs on that upper ledge.

Tyson... not into the song, clothing, hair, style on a skateboard or really anything other than his flip back tail. I realize he was injured and i respect the flip bs smith dip but just not for me. Worst fits and hair maybe ever. Never go full white guy with dreads...I imagine his taste in music to just be horrific.

Zach Allen...NO thank you, that was foul. "Wassap Haters" was on repeat in my head during the entire part. "I'm not a bum" Don't be so sure mon frere

Loved seeing a Mike Gilottie clip

Spanly can do no wrong with me, absolutely loved the Ronettes cover. AA bs flip xo, loved all the classic tricks plus i thought he added some great new ones. loved the 3 up 3 down line, kickflip nose, switch nose fakie flip, wilshire line and fs flips, switch crook halfcab flip two tables etc. Great fits, pants and his shoes look great. Next to pappy the greatest comeback in my eyes, loved it.

Herman one of my all time favs, opening line and 36 so good. Wonder why he didn't have more, I guess on 9club he said he was kinda over video parts/Rich as fuck. As far as i know he's healthy and people just want his classics but all good things must come to an end. I sure miss Heath. Ariel Pink was ok i felt another song either by him or another in general would have been better. EDIT: second watch Herm put it down, classic Herm and the more is less theory, which i fully endorse. noticed more herm the second watch.

Elissa is rad, amazing to see her still out there getting it. Shane Heyl Yuck, Ellington is a gad damn legend.

Riley...One of my favorite Nirvana songs, due to a certain murderous wench in my head the reason there won't be hard copies " I want $4,000,000 to use that song". I'm not into denim leggings, finger flips, or double flips, pump track footage...not even hardflip nosegrabs. At least it was short, def not sweet.

Theotis...Big thing to take away from this is save your money kids. Guess he figures money lasts forever or a pro career does, one or the other. Some hard manuals and ledge tricks no doubt.Switch bigspin heel was nice. Hall n Oats was weird in my opinion. Nightclub scene with sunglasses nearly made me vomit "I got 20k on my neck". Get the diamond testers out.

The boss...My top 3 are Heath, Dylan, and Reynolds. I love Brian Eno so i'm totally into that and thought it worked well, not as good as DeBobby's choice but good nonetheless. Prolly the greatest of all time, I think he is moving through his ladder career extremely graciously. Looks great in Vans/ Ellington is a gat damn legend, the switch fs flip flawless. Thought he had great stuff throughout the entire video, i like how it was sprinkled.

Baca...Rowan in Dylan. holy shit never would have thought, I was expecting a few ditch tricks, he came through pretty hard. i lol'd when he rolled off that roof, death defying. Earth Angel kicked ass, one of my fav era'S in music. Didn't realize he had such ill flatground tricks, this part really changed my opinion of him from negative to positive. Ender noseslide rewind was insane.

BEagle1ism/Murdy... hahahahaahah/ illuminati cracker...Aruba=kooka

Rowan...Lovely song that fit well i thought. Love his bag and style esp. his flip tricks. Expected a bit more length wise but great all around part. Highly rewatchable. Switch hard and nose were insane, full cab flip hill bomb even crazier. Actually my fav part in the video forsure. Edit: After a second watch Spanky has my fav part, although Rowan could take that spot in time.

Figgy...Eric Burden fucking rules. Everything was amazing sans le am shuffle, crook back lip is forever illegal no matter who you are. This dude goes hard for every part. That was bonkers and totally deserved the curtains. Take his career as a whole and i wouldn't be mad if he was crowed soty. Song fit perfectly imo

Brilliant all around video which i will def rewatch many times, skipping some though. Very grateful to have an early link.  Totally met, maybe even slightly surpassed my expectations. Expected way way more high jinx and was strongly disappointed in that regard.

Nuge what in the actual fuck happened, you only had 12 years to film a part...a couple of ollies and a nosebonk?!? Hang it up for christ's sake or satans sake whatever the fuck.

27 here. Baker 3 definitely shaped me.

Favorite: t funk, spanky, beagle

Least Favorite: Zach Allen, Riley, Figgy

A fitting sequel but nothing was going to live up to baker 3. Would have liked a greco appearance (maybe I missed it) and a welcome back to TK. If Zach Allen can be on, so can TK.

My theory is they added Zach Allen to make Spanky's comeback look incredible by contrast.

Spanky and Rowan were favorites. With all the og crew coming through my eyes got a little misty at times. the song choices and editing felt like a tender goodbye.

Nuge is always gnarly, his clips surprised me.

Overall loved it. Baca should have ended it, would have been such a rad surprise ender, maybe sprinkle in a few lackluster clips throughout so everyone who thought he was piling out would explode. Figgy shreds though.
yep

For all the time they had to work on this it felt like they didn't work too hard on it / it wasn't the riders main focus.

T-Funk, Tyson, and Baca's parts were amazing. Despite enjoying the video it was still overall pretty boring though and should have been like half as long :/ the music was pretty garbage too.

Was def hoping for more :(

My exact thoughts. People were bitch just as much about baker 3 when it came out. I liked baker 3 for the vibes and same with this video.

Bryan Herman skating to Ariel Pink is an instant classic. Yall tripping.

Dude has had some of the best music supervision

The Richmond Sluts "Drive Me Wild"
David Bowie "Width of a Circle"
Lil Wayne "Dedication 2"
UGK ft. Outkast "International Players Anthem"
Tom Waits "Top of the Hill"
Juicy J  "Fish Ain't Bitin"

His non-schoolyard Stay Gold section to Sabbath "Fairies Wear Boots" never really fit for me. Great song and great skating but just didn't gel imo.

Weird. I love that section and think it fits perfectly.

Baker dead to me, this is so bad....The editing is fucking trash. Every single part is underwhelming. We all saw better clips on Instagram stories this past year alone then the cumulative footage of this dumpster fire, Like wtf was The Boss thinking with the music. How do you go from Baker 3 to this? No wonder Kader didn't go on stage. I will never rewatch this video.

The more I think about Baker 4 the worse it gets.
It's the only Baker video that doesn't have an intro with BTS footage of the whole team,
it just starts with nothing but so many shots of Kader that it gets creepy... Baker went from hijinks to footage NAMBLA would approve of.

The trying to be like Supreme is horrendous as well... most people here re-watch the Baker videos again and again... how many people re-watch Supreme videos over and over again? Supreme videos are too slow, poorly shot, and one dimensional... Andrew was in a hurry to be more like that?

What were they thinking?
