Baker 4 coming in August

[Coastal Fever]

Watched Rowan’s part again and have to eat my words about it being underwhelming.  He’s definitely got something special.

[Living Legends]

That bank to ledge...who wouldn't want to skate that, looks hard to skate, spot looks cool and Dickson fs flip fakie tail was one of the noteworthy tricks in the video... pretty sure NBD, can't remember seeing that exact trick before...don't think anyone has done it switch either.

[Ocelot]

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.

dude are you fucking regular?

society has changed and the Baker aesthetic seems outdated

imagine if baker 4 had a *gay bird moment*

People would probably lose their minds on the internet, so it would just be business as usual.

also, can people please stop skating that stupid fucking bank to downledge in NYC, every trick I have seen there in the last few videos has looked identical. stupid ass boring spot.

[close]

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

pic / vid link?

i think they're talking about this thing

[close]

ohhh fuck yeah that thing acutally looks super fun to skate, anyone actually been there and got tricks on it though? i am pretty sure i could get flip in to something on it! it looks easy but i know sometimes spots can be deceiving on video

It’s not that easy

[Pete]

Things that stood out:

[Mongey]

It was ok. 

Thought allot of the clips were filmed shitty. Skaters going out of frame in weird spots.

Kader part was a real vibe killer. Doing an impossible on flat after an underwhelming trick does not make it a better clip.

wow, thrasher really passed the buck on the video description! 'what else is there to say'. Thats the least hype they have ever keyed for a video. Talk about underwhelmed.

Good God, I get why everyone trashes the video player. It won't play on my PS4 at all

Lost respect for Kader after he didn't go on stage. Who cares if you were that nervous , hide behind somebody .  Least you can do after Baker hype you so much since day 1

Bake and Destroy was more Baker 4 than Baker 4.

[ziggy]

Bake and Destroy was more Baker 4 than Baker 4.

Baker 4 is like watching the Ramy and Theotis part of Baker 3 for 45 minutes
