In dire need of cutting their budget, Baker Skateboards has dropped longtime riders Braydon Szafranksi and Jeff Lenoce and pro-rank newcomer Shane Heyl from their pro team.

Expect this trend to continue as teams look to trim the fat off their teams and cutting loose riders who aren't pulling their weight coverage-wise.

I believe it. Who here has ever bought a Heyl, Lenoce or Szafranski board?

I had a bunch of Braydon's first pro model, the Budweiser graphic

i know. looking at this made me really want to make a baker 3 appreciation thread. i will be there

[Lenny the Fatface]

I'm pretty sure the heyl board was a one time deal and he took it wrong so Reynolds was like "ahh, fuck it he can stay on for a while."

That sounds like some Curb Your Enthusiasm shit hahaha.

Baker 3 was nuts. I was watching Reynolds' part a few days ago and realized that it is still gnarlier than anything that anyone else is doing these days. And it came out 8 years ago.

[GeorgeHanson]

Is Braydon on heroin? Not the board brand but like literal heroin? I don't know anybody that dresses like that dude other than people who like to shoot up.

But whoever said that the baker ams are nowhere as good you are definitely right. I think it was some skateboard mag article about like Terry, Herman and Spanky with Terry throwing bottles and shit. I don't really remember but Baker before deathwish had the best team in skateboarding. I remember that Spanky was better than Herman before all his surgery and shit.

Baker is still so fucking good though and you think that if Volume 4 is a board brand then they'd be spreading themselves pretty thin - losing Baca and Nuge.

But if The Boss, Herman and Figgy are still all on the same team then you can't really go wrong.

AH FUCK THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT GOT TO ME ASWELL.

Haha damn yeah it does.

Bummed for Brayden, bummed on Lenoce, and don't give a fuck about Heyl.

[vegan*shawn]

I doubt this is true, but stranger things have happened.

[Tarela]

I was hoping for a Lenoce appreciation thread but this talk of the youngins not puttin in work need to rewatch that Cyril part the rest of them new niggas is debatable but come on!

[sluggers]

Baker is regular.

The whole thing should die.

Reynolds - "This board is to show that you're a part of the family, man."

Heyl - "Yeah, I'm pro for the Baker fam, its been a long time coming."

Reynolds - "Well, I mean, you're definitely part of the...extended Baker family. One of the, you know, the Baker boys."

Heyl - "Me, you, Dollin, Lenoce, Spanky -- Baker boys! Baker pros!" (Begins barely decipherable tangent of catchphrases and mainstream rap hooks).

hell funny if it went down like that and it would kinda explain it too

Szafranski part in bake and destroy is a pleasure to watch and one of the highlights, would be more then bummed if he was off
Baker 3 part was all time also

Lenoce is baker so i call BULLSHIT unless they are gonna be on an affiliate (Vol 4?)

He's trash, but not nearly as bad as dee. Dude's the worst. Only decent baker am right now is riley. I love baker, but they're blowing it right now.

Why do you think Cyril and Dee are trash? They're not my favorite, but they're both pretty gnarly skaters I like watching them.

Also, if this is true it kinda sucks. I always pictured Braydon, Heyl, and Lenoce as a big part of the Baker family. The whole team seems like a tight group of friends. They don't really put out a lot of footage, though. Still no evidence.

[TrainWreck]

let braydon and heyl start a new board company ... i mean .. somehow selfish still exists.

[metsuri]

If times are tough (like they seem to be everywhere) and they need to loose some dead weight and cut budgets, these are the guys who are gonna go, no brainer there. Braydon and Lenoce are past their prime and Heyl was just a gimmick to begin with. If there is not enough money coming in to carry everyone, something needs to be done.

[benjamindanklin]

Proof?

[nylin]

No reason Lenoce should be off before Spanky.

[Fongstarr.]

I always though Shane Heyl was more of a tribute board and never got a paycheck as a pro. Just like how Beagle has some boards but isn't necessarily a pro for Baker.

Braydon, Lenoce and Heyl might as well just start Shake Junt skateboards.

Why did you leave out Spanky? He is also off the team.

Shake Junt boards would probably sell better than Baker. Kids eat that shit up.
