My War: Sammy Baca

Baca got broke off going big for Baker 4, but no words can describe his dedication quite like this video. Twenty-seven bus trips from Vegas paid off in the end.

[@ShrimplessScampi]

One of the biggest things skateboarding instilled in me since the time I first got a Walmart deck for Christmas is ‘99 was persistence. This is the video I show non-skaters when I speak about why I love skateboarding and the lessons it has taught me. We’re hard-headed as fuck. We will attempt the same shit relentlessly until we complete it. Two of the best things I ever encountered in life that I am forever enamored by are reading (READING IS FUNDAMENTAL…pick up a book based on something you enjoy and you’ll never stop reading/growing/learning) and skateboarding. Don’t know where I would be without developing a lifelong love for either of those things.

[@jasonlongo6823]

Actually so sick. I love how relatable 'My war' segments are. Whether you're pro level or beginner, if you've battled a trick that's got inside your head, you can relate. These are just on another level !

[@dubdirk06]

@martin gonzalez bro for some people that shit really gets to them I got some homies who are getting into skating and one of them had his own little 6-7 month battle w the kickflip bro that shit will really bug at people sometimes; I guess to be totally honest it's just some things really click different for everyone

[@jasonlongo6823]

I didn't start skateboarding til I was 22. when you work 45 hours + a week on top of social life and relationships and playing music, progression is very slow and you can seriously battle basic tricks, I've no shame in saying it took me about 3 years to get kickflips and that REALLY got in my head. (No other trick has troubled me like that). Anyway I was more thinking skating gaps or grinds can be real battles even if it's not that big. It's all relative. If it's hard for you it can be a battle.

[@putnamehereholdmadoodle]

@martin gonzalez it's skating dude

[@thejman3489]

@martin gonzalez Sometimes it's a one day or multiple day battle. When I was learning BS Heel Flips I remember one day I really wanted to land it. I ended up spending 5 hours that day attempting the trick over and over again. The next day I spent another 3 hours on it (it was a weekend). After that I finally rolled away and was happy with it. Damn it felt so good to finally land!

Yeah, I have a lot of respect for this guy, he seems like a good dude and he's obviously a badass, but... That part at the end where he's like "I had to get the trick because I'm trying to get diapers for my kids" and I just think that's total nonsense. He already had a clip of him nosesliding it, they could have easily used that in the video. It's not like he gets paid more if he lands the shuv-it out. In fact I'm pretty sure he actually ended up losing money because of all the bus tickets, but I'm not sure if he paid for them himself or his sponsors did. Anyway, I understand that he felt like he needed to land the trick, but I think it's ridiculous to act like he had to land the shuv-it for his kids or something.

[@nostromer]

@@angryhobo212 Agreed, not saying its also not impressive, but for that kind of time, a shove-it ain't worth it, doesn't make the trick *that* much cooler tbh

[@ashxc]

angryhobo212 then there would be no war... i think thrasher flashes the cash for this.

[@MichaelPhillips-jw4bj]

​@@nostromer Obviously it does make the trick that much cooler. The difference in skill required was 27 trips in year+ of attempts. He was nosesliding all day. This was his part ender his biggest trick all the people talk about and produced this video. You have to realize he's in video with loads of guys who go ALL out on their enders. A noseslide isn't enough even the editors felt it. Big tricks raises his community love, which raises his deck sales . Then people wanna buy your shoes,your bearings,trucks, etc so you get big sponsors. Then you get a cut of that. That's how being a pro skater works. The more banger tricks you do the more the community likes you, The more money you make. You also get huge likability from these video's. Which also massively helps raise his community stock.. 700 000 people seeing his determination,his skill, etc

[@mesohunt704]

It’s literally the best feeling in the world. You try a trick literally countless times just to land it one time. When you finally get it and you’re rolling away and hear all your friends yelling it’s a pretty amazing moment. I’ve been skating for 22 years now. I am 30 now and started when I was around 8. We always filmed and made videos for our local skate shop that are on KZbin so I have filmed a few video parts. Other then working skating was literally the only thing I did as much as I possibly could up until a couple years ago. I got into storm/tornado chasing and got hooked bad. It’s exactly how skating was my whole life. I still skate but I’m getting older and my body isn’t as forgiving as it once was. I guess you could say I have a really addictive personality because I get hooked on stuff so hard. I mean I’m 30 years old and in my entire life I have only had 2 hobbies. They have taken me all over the country and world and led me to meet some amazing people so no complaints here.

As time goes on, I miss how impactful a feature length video felt a decade or two ago, whereas today, we can get a million little clips online. That said, one flaw of the feature length video is how quickly some of these major moments go by. This clip of Baca is just ONE clip among many in Baker 4. I think they did a good job of showing how many times he tried this in Baker 4, but some other videos don't give you that human element of how much it takes to accomplish some of these tricks that you see in a video. When you watch 60 minutes of one trick after the next, there is a lot of missing context and story that goes into all of these attempts before it. That's why I like "My War" because it brings these accomplishments down to a personal level that any Average Joe can somewhat relate to. I kinda wish more feature length videos try to add these personal stories into the video itself. I personally find it really compelling to watch.

So much work put in for a 5 second clip. Gotta love skateboarding

[@LiMCRiMZ]

This is easily the best of the "my war" series I've seen so far. I work my bones to a stage of broken every single day and that still doesn't compare to this level of determination.

[@ununseptium7961]

Lesson learned: Always cut off the nose to spite the trick!

[@ltrizzle12]

[@amayacuevas8826]

[@gustisupreme]

He is such an inspiration to skateboarding. Never give up. Never leave the spot undefeated

[@humangarbage09]

This is probably the greatest "my war" ever recorded in skateboarding history!

[@Nkwenkl18]

Sammy Baca is an absolute legend and this part was nothing short of legendary

[@Shambles27]

I always watch a my war video when I need some motivation. This one and the Dane Burman one are my favorites.

[@sinlanson6288]

[@218maryland]

I've never seen a bad "My War", but this one is my favorite by FAR

[@JyunDoe]

All time favorite War, keep coming back to this for encouragement.

[@sea4our]

hearing this dude took the bus 6 hours, 27 times, and was still there to take his kids to school; and my fucking pops couldn't even be bothered to show up once? goddamn that's a fucking gentleman and a scholar right there. that is straight up dedication and passion right there. i know a lot of people who wouldn't even walk down the block to the store let alone take a bus 6 fucking hours 27 times.

[@marcangeloofficial]

this is like the best My War i've ever seen, best persistence

[@crondigady]

I'm glad someone asked that question at the end. Would it have happened earlier IF you got the nose off?! That is a battle not many if any would have saw to visit 27.

[@Skatercrush]

The video that got me into my war... been watching ever since

[@MisfitRider]

This is still insane 15 years later and he still got this 🤘🏼🔥

[@wsdamico]

I love this series so much.

Ellington bigspin Carlsbad for the next Beagle Hijinx tapes! 🤞

[@haightect15]

Real talk, some of the comments on here are people hating on him since he’s not making loads of money and is away from his kids on the weekend, even though he obviously loves his kids, that he brings em up there, the point is some of you are hating on this man because he’s time is not well spent to support his kids. The ones with this mindset are the people that don’t know that there is a thing of loving what you do and actually enjoying your work. I’m not a skater but this is a man that obviously loves his kids and knows what he loves to do. Hate on him all you want but I guarantee he’s much happier and probably his kids will grow up much happier than yours.

[@coltonsnider7848]

Seriously the best “My War” Ever.... Props Sammy thanks for your persistence homie.

[@bigdaddyd590]

Sammy is my favorite rider always has die hard moments an we own the same last name! Turn me up !!

[@aabbccddeeffgghhiijjkkllmm4357]

This has more character development than some Netflix series.

[@RyansResolve]

You gotta respect the commitment to the shuv out so many times. Getting that wrong is always gonna throw you down, but he always goes for it regardless. Dudes crazy.

[@jacobobesser]

To imagine in medieval times he would have been that knight who lived through at least 5 wars.

[@scottchadwick1724]

The fact that you can see the mark his board left after battling over and over and over is incredible! Much respect!

[@puertousbmonkey]

lands it cameraman: "sorry I didn't record it" lol

[@kevinchills]

ive never seen a crew with such joyful grins on their faces after a landing. this is some touching shit.

[@jermainejoseph7614]

I love his dedication, straight up !!
