Baker 4 coming in August

[ziggy]

Someone tell me how Riley is still on but Cyril got kicked off

[honey island]

is felix soto's angle of herman's nollie inward heel the worst ever filming of a trick in skateboarding history? it's gotta be up there.






also literally all the sf footage was filmed 2 weeks ago

wait what? Riley has skills, maybe he’s not my fav type of skater but he’s certainly good at what he does.

Also, while I liked Herman’s part he belongs in Emericas, not vans

To people saying instant classic help me out. I want to like this video because I love Baker... but the footage is subpar. Compare it to Encore that they only worked on for a year and it’s not even close skating wise

It's so bad you almost really wouldn't use it. Saved by the homie cam.

Thanks for putting in the effort to get that screengrab and pointing that out... you're 100% correct. First time I saw that angle in the video I was like WTF was that? Did the video glitch? When I watched it the second time I paused it and went frame by frame wondering why they even put that shot in the video at all.... Ever see the interview with Beagle where Andrew made him reshoot a nollie BS 180 down Wilshire 15 because Beagle jerked the camera up slightly on the make? So Andrew Reynolds completely forgot what skate footage is supposed to look like now? What is happening?

[Ankle_Lift]

It just felt hard to follow.

You had a hard time following a skate video?

All I’m reading in this thread:

If you just disregard the skating it's right up there with recent videos.

Was really hoping for a PC gay bird moment to show that time has passed

They went from a satirical "Gay Bird Moment" to a hour and 15 minute video that IS a gay bird moment.
They've become what they hate.

They actually did it with Spanky catching that feather. At least that's how I interpreted it.

It symbolized how "Gay Bird Moments" are fleeting. Once they go, they are gone forever, so cherish them while you still can.

[moneen]

Figgy for SOTY. Man's been robbed time and time again. Milton sorry bud you can wait.

[EastKremer]

I watched the whole video twice and saying it’s subpar it’s not very accurate.
Kader and Tfunk have double parts and have been dropping footage to their other sponsors while filming for Baker and they still have many bangers.
Dollin is a beast, Herman too and The boss even more.
Sparky is a ledge wizard and still did some gnarly tricks.
Baca part was amazing.
Riley did some grabs but you shall forgive him as the son of god he is.
Jacopo killed it.
Tyson is a real g, you better watch his interview with Andy roy.
Zach Allen’s part maybe a bit short but still sick.
Theotis did his thing.
Rowan dropped two parts this year too and both very sick.
Figgy skated spots than most of us won’t even look at plus he made one of the sickest fs salads ever.
You all ask for too much, please lower your expectations a bit.
It is a very good video.
The only thing I miss was some Antwuan’s footage, I don’t care how stupid is Ellington. Make peace and forget. Baker made profit of Dixon image and also he should know better sometimes.
He seems on a better path now, why not giving him a spot on the friends section at least.
Shalom and sorry if my grammar sucks like some of Strobeck’s zoom games

[Ocelot]

I honestly think most of the dudes here don't get the video, it's okay the majority here shot their load over verso anyway

[versacekid420]

Just watched it. On the whole, have to say I was disappointed. The old dudes were old, which is to be expected. The young dudes were good but not good enough; I feel like I’ve seen so much Kader hype for the past five years that once he put out a proper part, I’d see the second coming of Ishod. Not that he was bad, just not what I felt like I was promised. (I do love Rowan though...felt like he threw his part together in two weeks, but fuck, that kid is so fluid...please, kick the booze and just TRY).

And wtf...enough with strobeck zoom. I’m so sick of seeing slo-mo adolescent acne only to be rewarded with a shitty flat ground front shuv. I get that the 90s are back, but fuck, if the people want slo-mo acne, plus bad fits and wack tricks, I have plenty of stills/footage from the ACTUAL 90s that took me straight to loserville if I was lucky and on a bad day, it handed me an ass beating.

Last comment, I’ve always hated Dustin—hate the image, hate the pissdrunkx cringey nonsense. But honestly, I loved his part. Amazing song choice and just the whole part captured an end of the line Dollin, which made me appreciate him in a whole new light. Easily the most “moving” part I’ve seen since maybe Jerry’s Stay Gold...but better. It was on some No Country for Old Men type shit. Loved it...and now I hope he finds what he’s looking for.

hes literally only been in the public eye for like 3 and a half years at most.

[Bristol_Palin]

I’m impressed that it seems the majority of people here didn’t like it. I thought it was really good. I liked it a lot. Baca rules. I thought a lot of the music was good.

[AssFlea]

Wow. T Funk got my hairs on end.

That kid skates exactly like we did after the urethane crisis was over.

Needs a high switch pressure flip late 180 aka the suburb bird

are baker 2 and 3 consider classics because of the tricks? if that's the case then why isn't fully flared a classic.

[sharkin]

i lost my shit on baca's 2x redemption ender

should have been last part

I've still only watched Tiago, I just can't get myself to care about Primitive at all.

[50mm]

I get that fashion is a personal expression of one's style and taste, but damn, almost everyone in this video needs to learn at least the basics of how to put together a decent outfit; that shit matters.

And everyone's skateboards look terrible. I don't care how amazing your tricks are, if your board looks like a turd and you're dressed like an idiot, your tricks don't matter one bit.

Skaters these days are not being given a hard time about wack fashion choices and it shows.

Spanky was in this video you dumb bitch.

[50mm]

Remember everyone talking shit on Baca like a month ago. How he can’t skate for shit? He fucking ripped and was one of my favorite parts.

Fully flared is a bonafide classic. Who the fuck is saying different let alone debating it??

I really enjoyed that. surprised how much i enjoyed Theo's footage
the Boss' back 3 over that grass gap got my hyped.
Herman is still sick AF
Dollin still goes for it, sick to see. mortals would have retired to curbs and mni ramp long ago.

imma watch ths again in a couple days and see how it goes down the 2nd time.

Tfunks arms are just rediculous. cant back that kid at all, tbh i could do without any of the new kids.

Every clip of an OG felt like a send-of.

Yeah I thought that too! definitely had an underlying vibe of a final hoorah before driving off into the sunset.
 but Baker 3 was everything when i was a teen so maybe thats projection?

I think this might be a generational thing. it would be interesting to see the ages of those who liked and disliked this vid.

[close]

That's a super interesting idea.
Should we try it in a simple way? Just liked it/hated it and the age?
Hate it/34yo

Didn't  hate or love it either. It was okay i mean i guess expectations  were sky high. 33 years old here.
