BAKER SKATEBOARDS: 14 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BAKER (2020)

SUBSCRIBE: www.youtube.co...

Skateboarding, partying, and all the Hijinx that comes along with it. It all started with Reynolds and Strickland, wanting to use all the bits and pieces left over from the iconic Birdhouse video The End; mashing together all the chaotic b-roll, and skate clips which didn't make the cut. Deciding together to call the video Baker Bootleg, a new and influential skate brand was born. Parting from Birdhouse, Andrew began working on the new company with some help from Tony Hawk.
Baker Bootleg went out on its own, creating the video Baker 2G. Soon, Andrew Reynolds and Jay Strickland weren't seeing eye to eye, and decided to part ways as companies; Jay, keeping Bootleg, and Andrew taking Baker. Jay would later mention that he still holds resentment for Reynolds continuing to use Strickland's artwork for the now infamous Baker logo, without even paying a dime in royalties to Jay.
Baker is now considered one of the most influential players in the game, with videos like Baker 3, Bake and Destroy, and the now infamous Baker 4 being noted as videos which inspired a whole generation of skateboarders.
Additionally, they've had a firing team from the start, and Andrew seems to have a knack for picking Ams who had the potential to have long and impact careers. With a team consisting of skaters like Jim Greco, Dustin Dollin, Erik Ellington, Antwuan Dixon, Terry Kennedy, Kevin Spanky Long, Figgy, Beagle, and with new up and comers like Kader Sylla or Ty Peterson.
That said, the team has also had some bright stars who faded before their time, like Knox Godoy or Evan Hernandez; talented kids who seemed to fade away to personal issues and struggles.
In 2007, Baker launched Bakerboys Distribution, and assisted in launching Deathwish, and ShakeJunt. Greco and Ellington moved to Deathwish, taking Dixon along with them, launching the new company. Baker and Deathwish share healthy relationship as sister companies, creating videos such as Baker has a Deathwish over the years.
Now, with Baker 4 showcasing new talent, it's safe to say that Baker has a bright future ahead.

My favorite deck was Reynolds’ ghost face deck. I had the tshirt from Birdhouse with the graphic. It was too big for me, cause I was 11 years old, but I wore it to school anyway. I also traded a World Industries flame boy tshirt for a deck from a friend back then.

Blink and you miss it. On Baker Has A Death Wish, Reynolds does a tre flip to nose slide on a very small stairwell. Not visually impressive. But, the fact that he can bang out tricks like that effortlessly blew my mind. Also, I think it’s Theotis Beastly in the back yelling: “OOOHHHH SHIIT!! THAT N**** AIN’T NO JOKE!! Always fucked me up.

Search Results Antwuan Dixon nollie heel Carlsbad and his entire Baker 3 part will be legendary forever. Dustin Dollin's part as well. There will never be a skate video as iconic again.

[@ShredzShop]

I think the craziest thing I learnt researching for this vid, was that Antwuan filmed that part in 3 months, it makes no sense.

[@invertedcrown]

@@ShredzShop yr vid just said it was filmed in 2 months

[@ShredzShop]

@Christian Prince That's what I thought, I didn't believe it when I was researching, but both Reynolds and Beagle talk about it in interviews. Legendary.

The history is amazing especially if you’ve grown up skating, watching all the VHS tapes and buying the magazines. It’s great to think back at forgotten memories. But damn, the new gen skaters are technical af.

[@beemelonhead1]

Yea dude this video brings back so many memories. Pretty much my whole childhood growing into an adult. Started skating in 99 when I was 10 which was right before Reynolds left Birdhouse for Baker so all this is super nostalgic.

[@TheViolator91]

For four years of his time, $10,000 isn’t shit!

[@ShredzShop]

I agree. Plus you factor in gas and expenses...

[@TheViolator91]

Shredz Shop Gas, cameras, lenses, food, tax, tolls, vehicle maintenance, mini dv tapes, generator... hours and hours of filming and they broke his balls over 10 grand... lol

My favorite Baker clip is probably Jim Greco's part in Baker 3. It was a pretty sick part, and I just love his skateboarding style of "always looks like he's about to fall off his board."

[@benahrens9062]

It starting off with Greco fighting the security guard for his board made me knew it was gonna be good.

[@meganmisaki4429]

Baker has a death wish was my favorite baker tour! Cause when they were touring, they came to my hometown skatepark when I was a little girl, and you can eventually see baby me standing at the top of the staircase that everybody skated

[@stevenpipkin7072]

"Yall know what's about to bang y'all over the head". Intro.TK

[@joshtoy]

Dustin Dillon’s Jager shot clip from Baker 2G. “You got your Jager!” Hahaha. Another, Dustin Dollins kickflip 50. He commanded that catch. I enjoyed how they built up to that by showing a couple flip tricks down the same set, including a kickflip. Always hit different when I watched that part. On top of all that, Children of Bodom (RIP Alexi) was one of my favorite bands at the time. So to see metal in a skate video was still kinda rare and got me stoked.

[@spitsomefire]

That was actually Baker 3

[@joshtoy]

@@spitsomefire You right, you right, my b.

[@jcolterh]

So many people get good at skating and lose it all partying. All my skate friends quit to pursue drugs full time. Skating by yourself is no where near as fun.

[@quarter_cab]

Not technically a Baker clip, but in Emerica Stay Gold. Reynolds frontside flips this giant 3 block, and rolls away smoking a cigarette casual as fuck, and I'll never forget how subtle, yet ballin that was.

[@marvinalmocera4550]

Baker brand of skateboard is simply amazingly 🎉

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

This is interesting. I didn't know a lot of this. I knew that Andrew Reynolds started and Tony Hawk was a big supprter. When Reynolds wanted to bring in Riley Hawk he called Tony and Tony was hyped for Riley. I honestly didn't understand how good Riley was until I went back and watched old baker videos.

[@jin2067]

My personal fav video part from BAKER 3 is Spanky's video part and Jim Greco's video part. Speaking of Jim Greco, he also had a lost video part from BAKER 3 where he skates to Bohemian Rhapsody. (Sorry if did the wrong use of “speaking of” I'm still working on my grammar.)
