Rowan’s part is so fucking good, they could have put figgy’s part somewhere else and it would have been a great last part.

I thought it felt a lot like Baker 3. I wonder if videos seem worse now and don't seem to "capture the feeling" because you are watching them alone on a laptop (or god forbid iPhone) screen rather than on a TV with all your friends. Baker hasn't changed, you've changed... man.
I watched on a tv. This wasn’t what I saw in Hollywood 15 years ago. Not close

I don’t give a single fuck about Figgy, Dude skates in a fashion of a bygone era.

Loved Tfunk’s part.

I’m indifferent to the majority of this video.

Rail skaters exist on a Daveed-Leo spectrum. Figgy, whilst I appreciate his Shaq shirt and mullet, would be plotted more towards Daveed.

This Spanky part has warmed my heart. I don't know why I was expecting only less than exciting bank and bank to ledge tricks but god damn was I wrong. Two songs full of great lines and a lot of unique spots. Tons of creativity and a lot of surprisingly gnarly stuff too, e.g. early grab wall bash off a roof and front tail kickflip on that Louie Lopez ender spot from Purple. He's looking good on his board and still has his classic style. Herman really exceeded my expectations as well. Love seeing these guys shine years later.

We should all probably stipulate that Figgy's part is fucking sick.
The Sw bs flip and the crook ender in Band and destroy were better than anything in this part. Theyre both sick af but still fact :/

kaders ender isnt an ender but more like a suciu-esk "i am skating away to even do more cool stuff", cuz there is gonna be a lot of kader in the future.

Great point! I recend my previous comments.

When I think about it a Baker video with Spanky as best part is exactly when I wanted tbh. Im glad he had those tricks as opposed to Boys of Summer2

Lou Reed's street hassle playing when the feather was falling would have made me like this video a lot more. Probably would be my favorite part.

Using that song in between all the parts would have been great. That song playing with the strobeck style filming with one second hijinks clips mixed in between parts would have been amazing. Oh well, free video, can't complain.

Honestly, this is the best Baker video I've seen in a very long time. Great skating (aside from Zach Allen and Riley), some very heartfelt moments from the OGs and their footage.

Also, why's everyone trying to discredit Kader's ender? Have any of you ever nollie backside flipped anything?? That trick is ridiculously difficult to flick properly, let alone control down a decent sized gap or set.
Herman's part damn near brought me to tears. Half because of the skating. Other half because I know this is the last time we'll ever see him "trying."

I think Baker 3 was as close as you will get to Herman actually trying...

This video was almost perfect.  Everyone saying it didn't feel like a baker video must not realize that its 2019 and a lot of the "hijinx" from the baker of 15 years ago wouldn't fly, and for good reason.  Plus do you still really want to watch a bunch of teenagers scream and throw water on each other in hotel rooms or scream at their skateboards over and over?  I loved baker 3 just like everyone else but after watching this I rewatched baker 2g, summer tour 2001, and 3. Honestly some of the "hijinx" are just embarrassing, but it was a different time.  I still found it all fun to watch but out of nostalgia.

Skateboarding is pretty boring now, everyone can 5-0 a triple kink and slide switch back tails 40 ft.  This video (and blessed) is showing more of a feel than the most insane hammers and I'm here for it.  I get that people don't want to watch someone push and peoples faces for 45 minutes straight but the format for videos has to progress or shit gets stale. Make me feel something that isn't just "wow he backsmith front shuv'd a hubba."

Baker and the OG's have  all matured just like you are supposed to as you age and this video managed to nail the "mature baker vibe" on the head.

Very much enjoyed it. 31 years old.

Oh and that nollie bs flip down the nine was fucking sick.  That's what I want to see, something that actually looks good.

The only downside for me is how uncomfortable Beagle's skating looks.  I want to enjoy it but can't.

Thanks for jogging my memory.

Baker 4 is pretty much exactly what I wanted from the Baker OGs. I'm sure some of the people bitching about the shit that differed from Baker 3 had a lot of stupid shit to say about that video, too. In this current age of instagram clips and online "parts" it's really amazing to see someone still put out a classic, quality full-length especially without having to resort to some shitty music to keep costs down.

It's also great to see that this genuine crew has grown up and matured from the Piss Drunx era/image.

It's like a long, running tv series with some of my favorite characters making an appearance without tarnishing what made it good to begin with. This is my skate video of the year pick.

I could nit pick, but I know that's what I'd be doing and thankfully I'm not about that now.

When Baker 5 rolls out, I can't wait to watch it. For now, dudes should take a victory lap for putting this out, and everyone that got a free download should at the very least throw in a Baker shirt into your black friday shopping cart.

I thought this too, the whole thing was going for a vibe and message over the standard format

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

They're more about personality, team fit, and style on a skateboard. Baker has never been about pushing skateboarding technically and cannot be compared to the Primitive team, they're in different worlds. There was some memorable parts in this video, parts i love and will watch over and over. I think it will be a classic, but most definitely not an instant classic. The more I watch it the better i think it is. it met my expectations but did not exceed. Rowan, Spanky, boss, figgy, herm, baca all killed it, Baca and DD were a pleasant surprise, great parts in my opinion. I loved seeing AA, Mike Gilottie, and Ellington. Theo, Tyson, Zach can get bent.

Pleasantly surprised by Dollin having a part. Dude has close to zero board control left, but still goes for it. Slow edit didn't work at all though. Was he seriously doing that shit where someone pushes on your chest so that you get a small ''high'' and then faint. Kids do that shit in elementary school, probably the dumbest thing I've seen from him.

Baca had a sick part, thought he didn't even skate anymore. Shuvit out of the noseslide was sick when he struggled to even get on that thing

Newer guys didn't do much for me aside from Rowan. Thought they would've gone harder for this.

How does Theotis still have money?

Always a bit anti-climatic to end the video with a trick that's already been published in a mag.

Expected a bit more but overall I enjoyed this and the music was good

I like the idea of Theotis pulling over and making a nameless photographer shoot him as he waits for tacos and makes up a story just to show off his fit.

He grew up. A young man with money can be dangerous. Although his lifestyle is pretty frivolous, I doubt the money will cause anything negative beyond looking and behaving like a kook.
