The concept of Baker skateboards is simple: It's 100% about skating and hanging out with friends. The Baker skate team represents just that and is one of the most recognized brands in the skate world. Baker also manages to bring together personalities such as Dustin Dollin or Terry Kennedy with its team and transports the positive mood of their skate sessions in their videos.
Baker Skateboards | Decks with an OG Status
With a skateboard deck from Baker, you're perfectly equipped at every session. Above all, the iconic Baker logo decks are highly recognized and have been in stock for years in the range of Baker skateboard decks. But besides the iconic logo skateboard decks Baker offers a wide assortment. There are always collaborations with various artists that create Baker graphic decks with innovative illustrations. The streetart artist Neck Face has a strong connection to Baker skateboards, who along with design drafts also regularly tours with the Baker skateboard team.
The shape of Baker decks is traditionally a bit sharper at the nose and tail, but by now there are different shapes available for almost every taste. Since 2007, Baker has also been distributed through Andrew Reynold's, Jim Greco's and Erik Ellington's Bakerboys distribution. Thus, the brand continues to be firmly in the hands of skateboarders and manages to craft skate hard goods to the needs and desires of skateboarders.
In the early years of Baker, most of the team was also part of the infamous Piss Drunx crew. The legendary crew consisted of Ali Boulala, Aaron Pearcy, Jim Greco, Andrew Reynolds, Dustin Dollin, and Erik Ellington. With a punk attitude and more than one partys, they turned the skate world upside down but still managed to capture the most massive tricks on film. Since in many Baker skate videos the landings looked a bit sketchy and have been cleared with Powerslides or hands on the ground, the appropriate term "Baker-Maker" got established.
Another part of the Baker skateboards myth is provided by their filmer Beagle. By capturing all the madness on the roads of America, he gives the Baker skate videos a very special rough and straight street vibe. Baker 2G and Baker 3 are two absolute classics and should be well-known, especially by older skateboarders.
Grown Up | The Baker skate team
Over the years, the Baker team has grown up a bit and Andrew "The Boss" Reynolds has developed a very healthy lifestyle. After a few guys leaving the crew and the founding of the sister company Deathwish, many newcomers are making sure that the Baker team presents itself as strongly as ever. Riley Hawk and Rowan Zorilla, two key players of the Shep Dawgs crew are on the list, providing a new input with spontaneous and entertaining skating.
Speaking of new inputs - the youngest addition to the Baker skate team is the young blood Zion Effs. The all-round talent has already made a name for himself in the skate scene within a very short time. Coupled with the support of Andrew Reynolds, we are sure that Zion Effs will become one of the biggest names in skateboarding. The current list of the Baker skate team combines legends and newcomers:
Andrew Reynolds, Elissa Steamer, Dustin Dollin, Kevin "Spanky" Long, Bryan Herman, Sammy Baca, Don "Nuge" Nguyen, Theotis Beasley, Justin "Figgy" Figueroa, Riley Hawk, Tyson Peterson, Jacopo Carozzi, Max Wasungu, Sully Cormier, Zach Allen, Casper Brooker, Rowan Zorilla und Tristan "T-Funk" Funkhouser. Baker is characterised by the strong personalities in its team and by its distinguished heritage, which they are bringing into the future.
