and yall can joke about Dollin being a drunk who looks just like Elissa Steamer but that front heel into the bank was gnarlier than most things the kids did. Triple OG legend.

I was surprised that Herman's footage was mainly gaps and stairs. I had assumed he was over that style of skating. I would be 100% satisfied with low impact ledge, manual, picnic table lines from him.

Gotta have the Bon Scott cut to match the shirt.
Is it true?  Or did you read it on the slap message board?

Yep it was a gnarly part as I said in my last post. Always loved Dollin. Bought dotted shirts when I was 15 ´cause of him. And a lot of Vans too.

I also said he looked washed out / tired, yes. I don’t care if he drinks. People do what they want. Dustin seems to be a good guy. Always spreading a good vibe. But hey, he gotta take care of himself. The dude took a lot of bad slams too... My father use to drink a lot (with friends, having good time, not in a self-destructive way)and what alcohol can do to your body is bad.

(But now I am relieved : after writing my previous post I went on his Instagram, and I saw he got a « Carte Vitale », the French national healthcare system card. That means a most of his medical bills will now be (partially) covered. He can now front heel into steeper banks.)

I didn't notice it initially but Dustin 50s into that backlip, that's so fucking cool to me.

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

It wasn't good. It fucking sucked, he looks like shit, and you're a kook for liking it.
if your name is actually Burt then lol but I’m a kook for liking and having a different opinion on a part than you? That’s so insane, I’m glad you think that. Anything else you wanna add?

Finally watched this. First time I’ve ever screen mirrored Pornhub onto to my TV with my wife intentionally.

Great feel good video. Felt like a pro/homies video which is true to Baker videos. Good skating good vibes. What I would expect from a grown up Baker. I don’t get people my age having any issue with this video. If you’re 31 and and grew up on Baker, seeing Reynolds Herm Elissa Ellington still skating together should bring a tear your eye, and the new kids are ripping.

this this this. I am exactly 31 haha and i felt stoked to see the older people and hyped on the new blood. Still gonna enjoy this video for years to come, i already want to watch it again


We may not know what skateboarding is
But we sure as hell know what it aint
Wait we know what it is now too -

Yes versacekid420, my name is actually Burt.
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.

Haha funny you mention this spot. Only the other day I was thinking how many possible ways can you do 180 to k-grind on this spot. A variable seems to be in every video released in the last 5 years

Swan Pablo (I think?) backside flip 5-0 was actually the last memorable trick on that spot for me

vincent's stuff on there was tight as well

Had watched it part by part and wasnt feeling it that much. The skating was great for the most part throughout tho.

Finally watching it in its entirety start to finish and really enjoyed it. Definitely the way it should be watched.

I think less hijinxs lended itself well actually. Everything sorta flowing part to part with minimal b roll makes the video better as a whole. You can like Baker and 3. And 4. Some of the filming was a bit meh.

Tysons part suprised me. As did the last 1/4 of dollins. And the amount of.reyonlds. herman was suprising to see in that capacity and was enjoyable to watch.

Knew spanky would come.through but damn not like that hands down my favorite part. Figgy killed it. Tony's son too. Zorilla was dope. Hill bomb was fucked. Tfunks part was ridiculous..tysons in some ways too.

Zach allen I could have did without. Kader ripped but not my cup of tea.

Stella and Ellisa was dope. Elissa dresses like my grandma but in a rad way. Enjoyed her stuff. No comply wallride thing was tight.


Probbaly missed some dudes.

Overall enjoyed it. Alot of shit missing from older videos vibe wise. Ali was cool to see. And that eating the plane clip was perfect. Some of the filming was too much for me. The lifestyle shots or whatever your wanna call em. Could definitely pick the filming apart from older videos easy. But as a video I liked it. Nothing groundbreaking but great for skateboard movies still. One of the better movies I've seen in the last decade+.

Puts Joe Dirté to shame.

I really like to think that this haircut was entirely influenced by Kenny Powers, and if it is, that makes me pretty happy.

Boss fucked it up when he let Antwuan go. A shared part with Herman and Antwuan (5 or 7) tricks would be epic. But the boss is obsessed for new bloods.

Only Baca and Herman made me want skate in this shit.

The thing that I don’t think everyone is putting their finger on but is nagging at them is that this video finally drives home that the era of the video star skater has come to an end. That’s the nagging feeling that no one has verbalized yet.

When skate videos first blew up it was because it was epic to see what your favorite skater was capable of outside of a contest environment and it turns out is was a hell of a lot more.  It stayed that way for three decades...until this video.

There is almost nothing in this video (other than spot specific drops/gaps etc.) that the modern  contest kids couldn’t couldn’t do in their warm up run. I do get that they weren’t going for the most groundbreaking  thing on purpose but still... 13 fucking years

The contest level skateboarding has finally caught up to the video pro level skateboarding, at least in this case. Cognitive dissonance runs wild... video killed video stars.

62 pages and nobody has pointed out where gas is $5.14/gal in the clip where reynolds is skating over the trash cans stacked over each other.  you wild california!!!

It's probably somewhere downtown LA. Must be an old clip because gas around here has been around $4 for a while.

that's still pretty insane to me.  here in the great city of baltimore it is about 2.40 average

wow that is really really cheap a gal is almost 4 L (right?), in most parts in western europe gas is like 1,30 - 1,60 € per L, so a gallon would be 5,20 - 6,40 € / gal
Gatdamn, i had no idea our gas was so expensive in NZ until i read your comments and looked it up.
on the commentary for the scene where jeremy klein rollerblades at that little skatepark he said the actual blader with dreads who was there came up to him and asked him if he listens to korn

haha that was a video part though, done by a non-contest guy. thats all im saying. i said it before baker 4 didnt really have that mcuh/any? groundbreaking stuff i 100% agree with that. i said the other day i thought the encore video the level of skating was way higher. also i think that video lined up wwell with the hype standards people set
