Braydon just tweeted a bunch of his new decks from Baker. Doesn't look like he's off.

[iamchuckbass]

sucks but I didnt really think lenoce and heyl were that good.
didnt seem to hit the big stuff enough.

yeah because hitting the big enough stuff is all that matters when determining how good people are.



dip shit.

[Alan]

Don't put Lenoce and Heyl in the same sentence, ever.

Isn't that the same reason Ronnie Creager was kicked off es? 

[Choad Muskrat]

dont give a shit about lenoce or heyl, but Braydon is actually really fucking good and seems like a good guy. If it's true I'm bummed for him hopefully some other company scoops him up.

I'm really not backing this rumor at all. I know this is lame reasoning, but social media is too out of control to contain multiple drops from one of the biggest skateboarding companies out there. When Braydon left Emerica, he immediately addressed it on Twitter. There are no tweets. Heyl and Reynolds are out on Couch tour right now, and have been posting photos up together.
If my memory's correct, they do an update of the team photos every year around the summer time, because I imagine their sales go up tremendously with kids on summer vacation, people working more hours at summer jobs, Go Skateboarding Day, et cetera. They probably just want to have fresh content up for the many viewers they're going to be getting. Plus with their AM team stacking high, it was probably overdue for an update. I just don't think Reynolds could bare to drop those guys. He would at least open up room for them on Deathwish or another BBD team.

i agree. plus, if i remember correctly, their team page hadnt been updated in a really long time. i think figgy was still listed as am. maybe even theotis too. it was when they all had their photos taken inside the liquor store in front of the coolers. i could be wrong, but thats what it looked like the last time i checked their team page.

[close]

yeah your right they only updated the blog and product pages never the team pages.

They just recently updated their team page a couple of months ago. Had Theotis and Figgy as pro, even had Riley/Dee etc.

In a transworld interview from like july 2001 he said he was 25 now and didn't want to jump off big shit all the time.

Nice 8 page thread with no evidence. Lenoce isn't off. Brayden isn't off. Who gives a fuck about heyl.

[McCly]

Poor Braydon. He was doing all the shoe shit companies are on now years before. Get him back on Emerica or Supra at least.

And I'm really glad to see all of those boards for him from Baker. Dude is one of the nicest and consistently good-natured guy in skateboarding and deserves to get money for it.

[trebb]

Braydon had one of my favorite tricks in The Deathwish Video. Ppl hate on him for his tats and leo talks shit on him. Whoever Leo hates UG skate nerds hate. simple as that.

hsha kool drawing gnar'd`!

I just watched a video with Braydon about Go Skateboarding Day where he was with the whole Baker team tossing out product, so unless Braydon doesn't know he's been kicked off, you can go fuck yourself.

[69]

yeah i watched that one too brandon was totally sucking reynold dick

makes sense. they definitely have a solid am/flow lineup right now with dee, cyril, riley, rowan zorilla, mike white etc. it would be pretty hard to be able to suppourt as many dudes as they were/are. i am interested to see what vol. 4 is gonna be like.

[close]

To me it seems like this is actually the most boring group of amateurs Baker has ever had.

[close]

Seriously, I couldnt care less about these kids. I guess Dee and Riley are alright but the rest are meh.. The Baker team is one of my favorite teams in skateboarding but this takes away alot of it. The whole thing with Baker is that no one on there has even  been that vanilla...  If this is true, damn it must suck for braydon too. First emerica and now this.

they just arent breakout stars, because there is so much random talent all over the internet, when you see a new up n comer on ur favorite team you arent as psyched cuz ur comparing it to the 1000 other am videos youve watchd on youtube recently. Dee, Riley,cyril and ESPECIALLY zorilla and  mike fucking white. i realize if people arent doing a million new tricks its not gonna impress you but watch thebaker youtube shit and the newer stuff again and youll see why they picked those dudes. It's so funny how many people are questioning these new am's but i have seen all of them throw down shit just through footage and can FULLY understand why they got put on. i can see why skate scouts are so hard to find, because so many people have shitty judgment and write off people before they actually take the chance to pay attention more than a few times to realize how good these duds are and SEE THE POTENTIAL IN THEIR STYLE. especially riley and zorilla, those duds are gonna be monsters, even if theyre not at that level right now. Reynolds knows this, and it's hilarious how 90 percent  on here, of other "skaters" disagree with this dude and think he's wrong, and they dont deserve it.
Heyl on the other hand, yeah i understand if you have surplus, giving your homie a board you skate with everyday and helping him out. but if i were heyl right when he gave it to me, i wouldve said, thank you so much for this right now, and dont hesitate for a second if you end up needing to drop me down the line, this is more than enough." and im sure if heyl's a good dude, that's how he took it.

[georgethecat]

Totally unsourced and likely untrue announcement that three pros are kicked off Baker leads to 8-page thread.  What are we doing with our lives?

But, seriously, fuck Heyl.

[NoComply180]

so glad I ignored 69.  long ass stupid sig

[69]

so glad I ignored 69.  long ass stupid sig

thats racist

[LOU.502]

I think literally all 69 does is post on slap. It's usually terrible/not funny/irrelevant and he does it CONSTANTLY. It seems like every other post in any given thread is from 69. Cool.

[Mundungus]

If he only posted like once a day he would be tolerable and I bet people would think he was funny. I didn't ignore him until his signature forced me to. And I know you can turn off sigs, but most people's sigs are stokeworthy.

[69]

69 cares what you guys think so stop talking about him

[niclopse]

imagine getting woken up too early and shane heyl's face was hovering over you. day ruiner

[Instascam]

I'll believe it when I see it.
They could be kicking Figgy and Cyril for all we know (that'd be about as dumb as kicking the others)
Also, I doubt they would kick Lenoce off since he's a founding father of the whole baker thing.

Only one that sucks he got kicked is Lenoce, i dont care for Braydons weird mix of styles he has or Heyl
