i  was thinking that if baker dropped dudes who weren't putting out stuff as much as the ams/younger dudes. think about the other teams out there that have pros that aren't producing while having ams/younger dudes. Real came to mind - they've got dudes like kyle walker, ishod, jake donnely and david torgerson while ernie torres, jt aultz still have boards.. donnely will go pro soon so i wonder if they'll take people off or just have one big ass team. not to say that anyone deserves the boot from Real they just have a BIG pro team with a bunch of really good am's who pump out a lot more shit than the other dudes.

Pffttt yeah, it's like, dude hasn't had last part in a video in what, like 8 months? Is he just chilling somewhere, waiting for his board to be taken away?

Jt has had coverage in the last few transworld mags with the Osiris tour, transworlds skatepark and the scattered vids on the web.

i was just using real as a example of a team thats got a lot of talent in one plate.  i think its awesome they've got a  big team.

Yeah...I kinda just wanted an excuse to post that part.

I can't imagine having that kind of power with nose manuals. Has anyone else done one up something that big?

would love to see a lenoce gest board

Don't worry they have their own company in the works.

I'm sorry but baker isn't the "baker" i grew up with anymore with all the new riders they added, graphics etc.  J. Strickland pretty much predicted all of this a while back in that interview.

Yeah, with all the new companies coming up these dudes are the ones that will make it work...

Well heyl's got shake junt so hes got something already going and isn't Braydon owner of Happy Hour shades? Best wishes to Spanky and Lenoce though.

J. Strickland is nothing short of a genius. I mean who else couldve predicted that after 10+ years their team riders and graphics would be different than when they started out.

i meant to put that they would go back to his old style of ads and ways of doing things, dudes latching on wanting to be down, etc.  The things he would've hated to happen happened basically.

J should bring bootleg back and put these stragglers on board.

[Yu Dum]

Braydon's nearly out of the industry completely it seems... no Baker, no Emerica and does anyone know any other sponsors he has?  That face tat isn't going to help much anywhere else neither.  Strange days are coming...

I'm pretty sure he runs Happy Hour Shades.

[Fucktarded]

Braydons touring with Little Wanye bro.

[Salty Lame Ass Poosey]

Maybe he has the Zenetti Skate Team still sponsoring him along with P.Rod, STEVE Williams, TK and Gerome Rogers....bahahahahaha

Disregarding the "weed saves lives" line, the dude clearly loves skating. He may or may not be relevant now. But I have nothing but respect for some one who gets out of Vegas and makes something of themselves.

[NoComply180]

It makes me sad that somebody would imply that Jt Aultz is milking it. Remember how fucked up he got skating recently? Was in a coma right?

In addition to the osiris part, he had footage in the Ambig video to

[Monkey_Mcpott]

For anyone that cares. Lenoce posted some sketches on his instagram and basically confirmed he works for bakerboys now and is going to school.

side note: lmao on dudes screen name

[Fongstarr.]

Good for him. That's rad that Baker hooking him up with a job. Depending on things, that career could be longer than his pro one. The worst is skaters having to do dead end jobs cause they never got a higher education or the hook up to do something else.

[Aatila]

i wonder what they have him doing? probably warehouse work which that equivalent to working a retail job in some cases.  At least he's with his homies.  I wonder if he still goes and films and tries to be productive in skating.  If braydon can get a shoe deal I'm sure he can fit in somewhere

[doublesteveburger]

jeff's probably a rep, it isn't the hardest job on the planet and i'd order some stupid shake junt shirt if it meant small talkin' with a switch heel vet.



i wonder what spanky's up to... i mean, besides listening to morrisey... i miss that little fella.

Yeah that's a great idea, drop a brand that more than ten years deep with a truly international team and following and give a skater you just dropped and who has said he's over it a brand. Bravo.

Spanky is done. although some people don't want to accept or feel it was wrong to have dropped them, they weren't really doing anything to push baker or any of their brands up. They all for the most part became really uninteresting or lack the skill to maintain a pro career. Better now then later down the line when you are to old to get your life together. Last thing i want for either of them is to become the next Castillo.

[Heisenberg]

What ever happened to Mike White? Did he just bail after Bake and Destroy?

[GOKU]

I wouldn't say Spanky is done just yet, he had a big fat frontside grind to drop in a very recent House of Hammers edit. He can still take them hefty impacts even after all his surgeries.
