kader of baker

[No Wave Comply]

Kader has a clip in the new violet vid with a violet deck and is seen holding a violet board towards the camera at the end. Also seen hanging out with the team throughout the vid

As the same time, Joe Campos also had a couple clips in this video (riding a Hockey board), so does that mean anything other than it being a guest clip? Probably not. That said, this Kader thing seems to be going a lot further than a homie/guest clip. Seeing Campos with this squad was kinda depressing for some reason. Didn’t make sense, but I’m sure they’re friends and all that.

Regarding the video, the skating was pretty throwaway and it makes Limosine’s drop videos seem god tier. Half of it was just goof in’ at Frogtown skatepark in bootcut/bellbottom cutoff jeans. I really hope this isn’t the next trend (see Nak’s SOTY trip sweats).

At this point, can’t help but feel Bill and Kader are a lot more self aware than we’re giving them credit. I’m willing to be wrong on this, but I believe this is all build up for an official announcement, likely with a full welcome to the team part.

It was funny seeing on the other Kader on Violet thread that people feel like Kader is cheating since he hasn’t made an official announcement. It’s silly because it doesn’t need to be known by us, as the convo only needs to happen between the two parties. This type of “drama” is what will build for the “big announcement”

This is such a dumb take.

Who skates for what companies is precisely what needs to be known by the market that consumes said companies' products. Right now Kader is skating for two companies as both Violet and Baker can use him to market their products. That's cool or whack, depending on who you are and how much you care about it, but you can't seriously be saying who a company pays to market their products is supposed to be secret.

Professional skateboarding doesn't exist for itself.

This reads like parody.

kader as in those melodies vids, troy's Seattle crew I believe

[camel filters]

Baker is cool cause the team seems to like each other and are proud to be there. Kader seemed over it even years before this. I say its best for both parties.

[dr.prestige]

I think at this point they're fucking with us. I'm sure Kader is staying on Baker for now but is skating Violet stuff because they're his friends and he wants to help them succeed as a company, and Drew is probably on the same page and completely fine with that. Somebody probably would have spoken publicly about it to clarify things for everyone by now but they saw how much of a shitshow the discourse about the whole situation has been and so they probably are keeping their mouths shut because it's more fun for them that way.

pretty sure campos is a homey. he had the first part in untitled, which was like the breakout vid for much of the violet squad.

I’m sure baker didn’t drop any pro models from their most popular pro this season “just to fuck with us”

Why not? Pros get left out of board drops somewhat frequently so it’s not that abnormal

What if Bill aka KaderBaiter is getting Kader high and handing him the violet board to catch on display. Poor kid is fried enough he’d never know. #Pray for kader.

[Pete]

At this point the shit has gotten so fried. My favorite baseless guess in this thread is that Kader is part owner of Violet but still on baker for some reason.

Someone get Ja Rule on the phone.

Yeah but kader is/was their premiere pro in terms of popularity. It makes sense that nuge and Herman don’t get constant drops. Not including kader means he doesn’t ride for em anymore or that baker didn’t want to make money that season.

You must have stock in baker or something cause you really want this to not be true. For the sake of your portfolio, I hope you’re right.

I don’t really care one way or another honestly, I just like being inquisitive about the whole thing. I figured that’s the whole point of this thread, to discuss with one another various possibilities of what could be happening. Sure he could be of but that could also be not the case, we don’t really know and at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter what we think because our opinions are most likely going to have absolutely zero effect on the true outcome of these circumstances, so why not have some fun arguing about it in traditional Slap fashion.

[Southernmost]

With Fat Bill and the Violet team in Miami. Seems like this is never ending. We’ll see him on a Baker bloard  by next week I’m sure.

Nah dudes of. He’s still riding for peace in his new insta clips. No way he’s still on Baker

[Murge]

He’s so high he ain’t ever coming down

latest insta story is on a Baker board

Haha I called that a couple posts ago he’d be skating a Baker after the Violet post. Not that it took rocket appliances to figure that out. Next post or in a couple days he’ll be back to a peace bloard. What if he’s lurking here and just messing with us at this point. Just running up views and interest until he starts his own company soon.

seems like an old Heath graphic to me

[TastyBurrito]

latest insta story is on a Baker board

Hate to break it to you, but this feels like old footage. He has dreads when about a week ago he showed a story of how he got some elaborate braids (in his profile pic and that Supreme pic with The Boss). So, most likely, the baker board clip is old footy.

gossip and board sponsors aside, that nollie tre was sick
