I don't know what you guys wanted. Sloppy VX footage and kids smashing bottles?

The overall vibe of the video was great. I don't really care for tricks anymore. There's too many amazing skaters and i'm just desensitized to the madness of modern skating. So if the vibe is there i'm happy and Baker 4 definitely had it.

Now the phrase "this is what you get when you fuck with Baker" has a new meaning after this video.
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

Yeh fuck tricks, they dont matter. Id rather watch gonz eat a taco with the right vibe than see people pushing the envelope on a skateboard. In case you are legitimately regular I will hold back my burns.

Very pleasantly surprised. Rewatching certain parts several times is likely, rewatching the whole thing at one sitting isn't. Wasn't boring, though.

Rileys part wasn’t bad is my official stance.

gotta agree with you.

This is my opinion but I feel like the majority of everyone that posts on Slap are taking in and digesting so many skate clips/videos every single day, just so much skating, and we're absolutely desensitized to it. I wonder what a kid would think of this video if they never saw a skate video but stumbled on it on Pornhub and watched the entire thing. I would venture (no pun) to say they'd be stoked or even just think to themselves "whoa that's pretty cool" or "that looks fun" - I could picture myself seeing this vid as a youth and getting into skating through it or having it motivate me to go out and skate. Sure Baker has changed, skating has changed, we watched it change before our eyes. We watch it change every single day. With that being said, most people that post here know the ins and outs so/how things were then and how they are now. Yeah, it's a different Baker than 14 years ago, but if we look at the bigger picture, it's still good skating by a good team and will still inspire some youngins to ask for their first board from Santa. The old heads still crushed and the younger dudes all had subjectively good parts, even if there were some we personally aren't all stoked on. It's all personal preference, but I think as a skate video, Baker 4 serves its purpose.

Also, imagine if the leak is b-roll troll footy and the real vid drops when it drops. Clearly not the case but would set the hijinx meter into the red zone  :P

"Boomers" ignorant fucks. lol  Anyways, Just finished the video. Loved Spanky, Herman and Baca's parts. Brad Hayes last trick, fuck yeah! And he had red grip. They did Cyril dirty on that. Overall kinda disappointed but I did enjoy it. I thought maybe they where saving the hijinx for the post credits, nothing. Bummer. I'd like to see all the footage of Reynolds before the switch to vans. I know he's got a stack of clips in emericas.

He's got "weird kid in high school that eats a lot of candy, does backflips off of walls, and could beat the shit out of anyone on the football team but doesn't know it because he generally a nice nerdy kid that just wants to watch Adult Swim and listen to System Of A Down" energy.

I don't know how you could watch that and be upset. So upset that you lash out on a message board. The skating was great, great soundtrack, great vibes. Some of you need to reevaluate what skateboarding means to you. Looking like some Olympic type, progression jocks in here.

More just disappointing. Dropping hype ass Cyril but keeping kook ass Theotis. Making kader pro to drop a mediocre part and keeping their ripper flow dude frankie heck still flow, and not in the video at all. Putting Zach Allen on. Kicking Beagle's style to the curb to emulate fat bill.  Etc etc

Lol at the dude thinking calling someone a boomer is an insult that actually stings and lol at the older people getting mad because they’re old but they’re “nOt ThAt oLd.” At the end of the day, the video was good. Not great, but not bad. Everyone’s going to have their opinions that will alter as time goes on. Years from now it’ll have a “feeling” that some will be stoked on and some still won’t be.

 I def enjoyed the video. Very hyped on Neck Face boardslide. I wish I could go to that spot and try that trick, idk if I could do it but it would be the best boardslide I’ve ever done lol.
Spanky had crazy ass wallie tricks.
The only part of the video that I have not watched one single time is Zach Allen. Idk it’s not that I even dislike him, I just care to watch everyone else but him:

After watching it several times last night I came to this conclusion, it is what it is  I enjoyed it.

Was it 2003 Baker? NOPE but it is a iteration with Baker's name on it.

In my rant I was trying to compare it to Pretty Sweet  or more relative to Zero and how they're trying to pass the torch to the younger kids, we just are old grumpy cunts who are afraid of change.

Face it the hype behind Baker 4 was well deserved but us as the standard holders felt let down.

All the dudes who are bummed on the hijinx in GX1000 or Supreme videos are bummed the same hijinx aren't in this video.

And that's really it. Baker really contributed much more than skateboarding with its past videos, it contributed to a culture and that trademark fingerprint is missing in this one. If it had bum fights and vomit and gay bird moments then this would much more tolerable. The skating is actually good. Not great but good. The vintage baker vibe has changed though. That's that shit we wanted and it no showed.

ight so i figured out why this video annoyed me so much

If you watch Baker 3.. besides the groundbreaking skating which is still crazy today...It was funny as hell and didn't take itself seriously at all, in the era of huge budget videos and shit like that. It was so goofy and fun to watch and  has one of the best soundtracks and skate video vibes ever.

This video is the total opposite, it really, really wants to be taken seriously and its the opposite of the previous identity that made people fall in love with Baker. That and the filming just bums me out so much. It's unrecognizable. The skating is good but dude we waited 15 years, not 3 years.

Cutting Cyril Jackson and keeping Theotis was also just the lamest move ever. Idc how many boards he sold, I just can't make myself care about this mountain dew guy doing boring ass manual tricks. CJ was the fucking ender in Bake and Destroy and has dropped 2 parts since then for Baker and they cut him 20 minutes before this shit drops..?

Also for the people saying "OH MAN IT WUZ FREE STFU"...I'm glad it was free cause I would have been even more pissed if I paid for that shit.

This video below is the last video that actually had the OG Baker vibe. RIP Baker era. Such a bummer dude.
