Half an hour in and all it has done is make me wonder how many baths or showers were had during the filming for this project.

Itā€™s great that Reynolds gives loads of kids opportunities to belong and have a great time, props for that but honestly, I donā€™t need to see the progression or results.

Iā€™ll carry on because there must be some decent footage at some point. :wink:

The wink was there as a playful way to show iā€™m prodding the bear. :wink:

Iā€™m just having fun by the way. I totally mean that iā€™m not into this video but who cares? iā€™m totally fine with you loving it.

Sick vid. Donā€™t have to like it.

But itā€™s fucking amazing and nostalgic for most on here. Handbags down.

Gonna watch it again with my dinner. And Iā€™ll probably watch it again with breakfast.

Went to skate this afternoon. Talk seemed to be Casper finally arrived in full form as the beast everyone knew he always was, Elissa hype, Dickson underratted-ness, and lots of Am crew chat including Zion being too good for a 14 year old. And that the music was great. Oh, and Antwuan moment being special.

To be fair, it picked up with Casper and was pretty strong to the end.
Casperā€™s 360 flip, woo. Some good tracks. Foy was as expected but more.
Lotā€™s of real good highlights and a few lowlights like Ellingtons shoes and whatever he had in his mouth made me feel queezy.
Anyway, I could fuck off but fuck that, gonna poke all the bears whether you like it or not. Itā€™s a bloody skateboard forum.
JOKE.

Really enjoyed this. Favourite part was probably Stu Kirstā€™s weirdly. After the first 15 mins of ams doing scratchy wallrides and weird shuv it tricks, his footage really stood out. Get with the hammer programme guys!

Loved all of it. Baker have done a good job of ā€œmoving with the timesā€ while also not diluting the brand itself. Have to look at the likes of Girl, Flip and Alien for that. Reynolds has the eye for it, and the initial statement is relevant for his own skating as he gets older too. Probably helps he is clearly and still a proper skate rat.

Casperā€™s part was amazing and that ender was so sick! Doubt Iā€™ll watch it all again in one sitting in a while but looking forward to watching parts of it again already!

Although you can argue that they never had an aesthetic from the start which quickly turned into an aesthetic in itself which is what edits kinda are now. So it would be easy to move with the times for them. iI somehow the times went further into elaborate techy ideas like crail went then Baker would have gone out of fashion.
It does help that Baker have always kept updating their crew with more ā€œfashionableā€ people and other brands just stuck to what they knew and then fell out.

Was anyone elseā€™s viewing interrupted by about a billion ads on YouTube? How do you block those?

Yeah, noticed that on my second viewing. Seemed to be after every section, def werenā€™t there this morning.
Fuck it, get paid. Few seconds interruption is little to ask for.

If youā€™re watching on a PC or Mac, download a browser called Brave.

Itā€™s basically Chrome with built in ad blocking and privacy settings. Never see an advert on YouTube so long as itā€™s up to date.

Other option is using something like youtube-dl and download a copy of it.

Canā€™t understand anyone who doesnā€™t enjoy Baker output. Another masterpiece. They create such an amazing atmosphere with their videos, itā€™s emotional.
