"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.

t funk charges hard and rips but he looks like a lacrosse bro dressing up as a skater for halloween.  something about him doesn't look natural

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

[straight fucking edge]

did this get posted in here?

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.

[johnes]

 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:

[Aatila]

So many contradicting posts from the same person got me confused. Do you like it or you getting these jokes off

So fucking on point, take a gnar

[Esmith5488]

Imagine how sick it would have been to be at the session with Reynolds Herman Ellington and elissa

[LordManHammer]

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.

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.

[ziggy]

society has changed and the Baker aesthetic seems outdated

[shred-a-few-gnars]

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.

That's quite an astute observation.

I said this longtime ago they were trying to shift away from that Bum Fights Wingnut batshittery.

 As much as we wouldn't like to admit it & know the situation Baker/Deathwish hasn't been the same since Antwuan got the boot Greco & Ellington left to start Deathwish.

Do I miss those days and shenanigans of fuckery?  You bet your ass I do much like AntiHero had the punk diy ethos Baker/Deathwish defined an era 2000-2003  and it seem long since past if not watered down after they created Deathwish and the videos that followed.

To give a summary or just my opinion I'll say this

Baker/Bootleg rad skating hijinx for days definitive

Baker2g again definitive and groundbreaking with the random shit here and there

Baker 3 shit was wild as fuck and blew the doors down for skating during that time especially EE part & Antwuan's relaxed style.

Baker has a Deathwish tour that video great video but it was a mixtape of everything after Baker 3, fights random shit and Antwaun being the unofficial mascot

Bake & Destroy another mixtape that was good and had it's moments.

Deathwish Video Bloody brilliant and had that razor edge of good skating Dickson deserved the ender as he reminds me of a hungrier Jamie Thomas in his prime.  Furby and Moose just seemed like filler people to round out the team even though talented weren't marketable.

All I am saying if you look at the chronology of their videos it seems to have that poignant edge that other vids don't have  at the time.

What I am saying is I wouldn't be surprised if this was the final nail in the coffin, and they became a clothing hypebeast brand.

[heckler]

Literally nobody said this.

Also, everyone who's hopping on the quote train above seems to be missing my point? People complain about GX1000 fucking with pedestrians, Nik Stain running into people, Strobeck's leering shots of women and homeless people and... basically everything he films beyond skateboarding in Supreme videos, but these same things would somehow be acceptable in a Baker video because "hIjInX?"

[Idk]

In 2006 a kid would buy a BAKER board to piss off his parents, now in 2019 parents are buying BAKER boards for their kids.

While I agree and am a big Cyril fan he did not have the ender in Bake and Destroy his part was second last

[Hevonen]

It's almost like skate videos can't be as impactful in an era of heavy single parts getting released individually, compared to an era where we got 6 or 7 major videos a year. I mean, in 2005 the other big releases were Skate More, Lost and Found, First Love, and New Blood. The only solo parts back then was the Kalis in Mono stuff put on the Habitat-Regal Road and the BA part in Super Champion Funzone. It's just a different era. No skatevideo will ever be as impactful as Questionable, or videos like Baker 3 filmed 14 years ago. We witness progression way faster now.

This video was good, and one of the better full lengths of this decade, especially for a team the size of Baker.

Yeah, and back then people could be saving their best stuff for like 5 years for an all hammer part

[ok boomer]

Baker 4 has taken over the trending on Pornhub, I lol’d.

Ya'll wild.

i like cyril a lot and would have loved to see him have a part, but dude theotis’ part was actually good. He does shit not many people can do manual-wise and the song fit so well. I saw someone’s story from the premier and was so skeptical about how the fuck a hall and Oates song would fit his part but it actually made it that much better. I’m not mad theotis is still on baker after this

[LoudPack]

Can a homie please get a link? Idk if I’m asking right. Never really done this before

[schralp pal]

Seems everybody thinks they’re suciu now, trying to write essays about this shit.
