Welcome to the Tim's Watch Radio and welcome to the Baker's Skateboards All Stars. Now this is one we've been thinking about for a while and we've been getting our squads together. I mean it was a hard one when it was a difficult one. Yeah I've got my five here.
I don't believe in it but it's gonna have to do here. I'm still kind of on the same boat John I'm sure after hearing all everyone else's maybe there's just a few interchangeable characters. Yeah I think this is the one like a lot of our squads we've done before and if you haven't this to an all-stars before we bring a five-man squad to the table but we have to agree on a five-man squad collectively that's basically it so we take turns and bring an uskate to the table but yeah I think this one because they've got a lot of depth in their squad not to say that say like you know alien workshop didn't there's some certain people that you would have to have on the list whereas like this one is like we'll say there's interchangeable characters there's characters that you can always go to find one to squeeze in there from a different angle different perspective. It's also like what sort of mood you're in as well.
Like Baker have been around for so long that it's just I'm feeling more handrails or more led-strix and there's different collage for that. Should we dive right in? Should we get some skaters on the board? Do you want to give us your first draft pick?
Well I'll go with um obviously not my first pick but we all know who our first pick is gonna be so I'll go I'll go deep in the list and I'm gonna throw out Figgy. He's such a heavy handrail skater like it just destroys it kind of tech with the rails as well that I think it's hard to argue that he doesn't deserve the place. Now we might not be on your list and I get that I get why he wouldn't be but he's online. Yeah I mean he's not on my list and he does deserve the on there like he was one of the first names I kind of you know I would put out into the intro into the spectrum of skaters there but for me he's just not uh he almost isn't Baker enough and that's a little bit can't-ish but I almost kind of I almost put him closer to say like Riley Hawke and I went to to Andrew Reynolds.
Oh that's rough. Fucking hell. How can you go from city? Is it great to get in the spot?
Don't put him on the same level as Riley Hawke. He's a ten times better skating Riley Hawke I'm just saying he's oh I'm just saying I should just have a fantastic city. Fuck. How was that better?
How many of those fucking the in destinies have you had a what? Someone else didn't I take it? Will he's not? Is he on your list?
No but when I said I had a double fiver he was on the list and I replaced him so I can see what you know obviously almost wanted him to be on the team you know pretty pretty I think he's a pretty tall kind of like lanky dude and he just does definitely crush hand rows. I can remember however long ago it was when he was did that triple kink crook and just you know dusty fucking guy ripping a shirt open all the time and just getting getting the big heavy hand row stuff done so I was thinking you know if we got a fucking team who's gonna be this guy and I didn't take him to the end but fucking good skater so. Yeah he's a great skater mate he's a top tier skater I've watched a lot of his videos came out I'm excited about it but uh yeah I just I just think he's Baker you've said what you've said it's a hard one right because if he may be just like you know he's in there just crept into the era before he might have solidated himself enough but yeah he's in that weird like middle bit right yeah kind of where most people after Baker free will struggle to make this list yeah yeah and I just think he's more America than Baker really he repishes shoe companies more of his thing than a ball company yeah. All right then go on then Ryan.
I'm gonna throw out who am I gonna throw out some some new blood I'm throwing cater out there I knew you were gonna do cater though I think he's ridiculous he's a generational talent I think he's gonna go on to be one of the greatest skaters of all time he's looks so good in his fucking alley-dats now he tricks election spot on he was fucking the boss's understudy right he knows the score I don't see why he's just too good not to put on this Baker squad you need it they've got the line up and Kade is not in there you're like well Kade should have been there he's paid his fucking dues he's still young but he's just incredible that's why he's my list he's incredible but at the same time he's not on my list just because I think he could still be on any board company that that kind of he doesn't quite have the Baker vibe I don't know what that vibe is but he doesn't he's a little skate rep so maybe he does encroached on it a little but I think when you've got I don't know what he's saying but he's not mine is he well well I guess I don't have to tell you guys that he was in line with Figio number five and I scratched him both out and replaced him with someone else who nice yeah right now I could see him if Kade was writing for FA his appearance wouldn't change yeah true true true true but I mean when I was watching back the old dinner research maintenance and checking out Baker bootleg to Baker three I didn't watch Baker for again I like Baker by the way but I didn't I didn't need to watch that again um FA are fucking ripping off Baker big style if you go back and watch that it's all fucking it's all Baker yeah that's all Baker it's all pisterunks it's not fucking alien work putting those videos out they're putting slick fucking lovely edits together yeah that edginess that rawness that street is Baker that's Baker yeah yeah massively yeah definitely I think they're trying to they more kind of try and hone in to get that appearance I feel like of like the original Baker 2D Baker bootlegs or style of edits I guess maybe that is what uh Dil wanted and he got overruled yes yeah yeah probably well it's almost a mess sorry i can't know i was just gonna say why the fuck would you want that over putting out an alien video which arguably better videos than the baking videos do you know what I mean it's not saying the skating is better in terms of a product I put it definitely slicker more appetizing you know just easier to just the multiple views it's so much easier to watch I feel like it's kind of well FA or whatever that sort of style it's almost like a stepping stone between like Baker and like a show back supreme thing like in between is it kind of okay but you have like the appearance side and the actual skate inside and then somewhere in between there I feel like FA is you know cada fits all that sort of that supreme vibe all that sort of stuff he he can do it all like it wherever he does it looks good so he could be put back he could be put back on the left but yeah it'd be interesting to see where he goes in the next five ten years because i think the only thing that could slow him down is being too popular if it does if it does and not say that that will that might only drive it you know what i'm saying but appearances everything these days I feel like he that popularity if it was gonna get to him would have already got to him like when he was in 15 or whatever there's he's got to be i don't know 18 19 that all right it's got to be closing in on 20 so i think if that if he was gonna get caught up in all that he would have but Reynolds was there to be like well i guess more in the way of safety as well like what does he need to try harder for if he obviously not i you know i really rate cada as well so not kind of saying that it's one of those things like how good do you need to get these days for the time but yeah it'd be interesting to see but i definitely see him as baker as well as not i guess yeah i mean i suppose with i mean it's just getting deep in the brand loyalty and everything but like could you do that with a lot skates these days compared to back in the day i think you could stick up a shot where on yeah probably from real and it would be harmonious whereas back in the day the jumping ship thing was a big deal yeah it was almost not possible like it wouldn't compute like toy machine zero you could work with right there was similar gimmicks but you wouldn't be able to jump from zero to people pretty locked in i think as well back then there's a reason for people to be locked in and not want to you know just seeing everything seem a bit more solid no less options that yeah everyone kind of shared the same sort of feel it's like the creature dudes they were all the same one or two might have been street more than like tranny but they were all the same yeah whereas now fucking yeah primitive f.a the wall so different they might have a cleaner look to them than people did just back in the day but yeah it's an interesting discussion that it's just weird where the skate because like where we're saying earlier that period is everything there's a certain look that you kind of do want to be cool but it's but the true you know i know i don't like to say the true skaters because more skaters than they have been but like a chardware for example he has actually kept his gimmick true so i'm not gonna i'm just using his template as an example of wearing a jean shorts right he was wearing that when that worked apparently now every fucker into the sun wears it so it's it's they've been croaks on his gimmick and it's actually weak in his gimmick it has it's kind of strengthened away but to a hardcore skate you look at it and you're like i'm the i ain't bits of fucking jean shorts you look like every other cunt under the sun wears a fucking some big dunks as well it's like you've ruined you've almost ruined a dunk as well because it's just it's it's it you're looking like fucking john cina i mean you know i mean it's like that's not the look that's not the look it's it's just people just bite up of people's shit and then it absolutely walks it down so it's just let's let's move on to the next game we can talk about that sort of shit for all right that's for a turbo talker yeah i got a good one here it's not it's not obviously one of the best ones but for me it's pretty up there and i almost forgot for a second you know there's so many there are so many good top picks here so uh i'll just say king of the hardies brian brian hermim what a great skateboarder of other times great style great trick selection classic baker classic back in the day pick drunk which maybe maybe not necessarily frowned upon because you know drinking and drinking will always be something that always happens but at that time in era it was appreciated accepted pushed and it was exciting you know what you really got to dive into people's characters these guys lived on the edge they played hard they fucking pied harder and you know the tricks that ryan hermim would do in you know some of the most perfect poppy hoppy kick flips you know tray flip on tray flips and and the hardflip like you said the flow no one has yet a hardflip like hermim and you know even the way his hair flowed with his hardflips is him doing hardflips downstairs with fucking sunglasses on you know the rawness of hermim if you don't know what the fuck he doing you know yeah like i'd say right now he's not well if he was my number six i scrubbed he's i scrubbed him i scrubbed him i could have thought out because i had to get you know a couple of young the punks in there uh so i scrubbed it but yeah his hardflip is one of the best ever right scottie there can't be you know who else there's not many other people on the list that have got that that skill set and kickflip as well is kickflip was phenomenal top tier top tier throw it down anything yeah just yeah nearly as nearly as good as the senzo's kickflip i'd say that's how good his kickflip is and that's that's a complex he's like a relaxed senzo flip yeah yeah um Herman is on my list and you i almost forgot about him as well but when i sort of dug into like some of the older videos and that it's like fucking of course and yes of course this Herman it's almost you know a lot of this team could be all era specific but like you know take it back to you know all of our let's take it back about 12 years maybe maybe 10 years you go to a skate pack that's got 50 people there and you go kick all these boards over one of them is going to say Herman one of them you're probably right man and if not it's going to be like you know one of the other names that we've mentioned or mentioned yeah yeah yeah you go yeah i mean that's the gold part i know it's an america part but fucking out that level of skating in that the the little bench nothing but benches no one can do that and no one has done that yeah since well even even in baker four when you're struggling down the uh the kickflip then half of something down those um there's fucking like each of them must have been like a nine or or a big seven or something like that but there's that one it is what he's only but he hits two and then finishes it with a half of or something it was it was like he's got that on that's just ready to go that's just a button that's just one that's not even he's not even need to do like a a short euking or a haduka with that he's just one singular button that's just yeah that's just yeah just where i'm saying it's just bang there is yeah and i'm going to go back to what we all said about the pitch drunks you got to give them more credit as well because they were pros and they still did all that shit and still put a video part down yeah like some more than other yeah something as a large percentage of pro skateboarders at this time we're doing but getting absolutely wasted and then landing next level stuff that some people can land sober you know which clouds could they have done better but fuck maybe maybe not who knows and you know just that little bit of extra hype fucking can do it the whole way i mean it was the jackass era right like fucking everyone wanted to live like that it wasn't as round as much no you know you know you didn't see the after effect till later yeah i mean there's a reason bakers now like almost entirely or sober but they've done it they've done it they've got the platinum trophy didn't they they've got it got the platinum trophy yeah yeah then i can do right all right um so another pick uh i'm gonna go for what i think is more obvious one um eric elington i'd like to think he's more obvious one anyway yeah he's on my list good he's on my list too sweet wow wow very sweet he's made this quote i mean talk some signature trick like big spin front board um and didn't he big spin outoro as well that was the one he did was it not a car that's the one yeah big spin out toro would be well i was thinking that he big spin board out toro because he probably could have done probably like he's got he had that in his locker i just loved his uh because he always had the elington you know his signature shoe on the way that he caught kick flips which is a flap yeah flap it was a slower kick flip but it was just like a just hit the board it was just i loved it yeah those long legs mate and he could really get get that up there with the catcher in the fucking yeah smack down he didn't have the like if you go back and watch everyone else in the bacon videos back in the day there was a lot of pro-level landing and rolling away like you know that we've spoken about before elington don't roll away that queen right he doesn't roll away that can clean compared to a lot of them but hitting somebody's shit he hits you know switch as well he's got good switch game um you've got to him he's got a little bit sketch because he was hitting he was hitting like back so switch backs up looks back and they were knowing was touching that sort of shit so and you got to give him a little bit wiggle room yeah definitely and i think part of it as well mate is just like the pure raw thrash and us gnarliness of you know he's not just land him one of these tricks and having a sketchy rollaway you know these are like shotgun smackers down big sets big hand rows and you know sometimes you can't land clean you know when you're doing 50 of them and you know that they bake a make of was made famous you know from some people well i think if he was if he landed shit clean like super super clean he would have been on the level of yes you know that's the reason why he's down there is because he did have a little wiggle we had a big old fucking feet on a 75 or whatever you know so he wasn't going to he wasn't going to roll away it's good as renald is again generational talent you don't you don't get him every day of the week you know so you're getting someone who's up close to him which is good enough right if you said you're oh yeah you're close to and you're going to escape that's a compliment yeah every day and as uh just as well as that that was it was part of part of the arachnic you know he dressed up a bit of a funky flair you know he might have the one glove on as well or you know kind of like a musk of style hat the big long wife beat uh some jeans on and he's ripping and flailing all over the place and it's just part of him as well he kind of intensified and and wearing the uh you know the studded belt or whatever you know he made that shit cool with like like you said the wife beat you're in some shit jeans like some really fucking like just baggy but like fucked up jeans with some hanky coming up his pocket or whatever he had a good look yeah a really good look and he also like did the whole like proper like dress shirt thing as well but like two buttons done on it so so many people would have wanted to be able to pull that off but no one did no one could because he won't fucking as cool as eric elington so just imagine rocking up to the pipe and i want some horrendous shit you know like trying to be bam away back in a day some silly stuff but like rockin i never rocked up in the fucking leather jacket because i just it wasn't going to happen was it you know you got to handle business you turn up anywhere with a leather jacket on you need to be fucking elington you need to be able to actually throw some shit yeah yeah yeah that's a freaking thing yeah it's good to get him on the he i mean he's officially it's it's her do you say Herman you both had Herman so Herman's pretty much on the list as well so what's your next victim right i'm gonna go for one that isn't gonna get poo poo i think i'm gonna go for a not sure sure fire because we're gonna leave apparently really even into last because what's the point you might as well just stick him down now i'm going for Antoine Dixon fuck yeah that was the one i was unsure about because it's tray it's nonnie switch heel and talk it right this is this is where i'm talking about land and ship pro level okay compare the way Antoine Dixon lands it on his board compared to 90 percent of other skaters right he is top level pro he is fucking unreal level pro yeah that is going back and going back and watch those video parts i've watched watch all of his footage he's got that hands down he does yeah exactly will hands down and bolts on a 75 rolling away just floating rolls away straight no wiggle no twitching he's done it again he's he is yeah he has to be on the fucking squad yeah and uh when i when i had to re-edit my because at first in in my mind i was for some reason i was like no he's only death wish but he came in through baker so and obviously the baker takes and boards is what kind of made me remember to put him on the list really but was he on your list yeah well he was not on the first but he's on my list now after i went back to um i don't know if you saw the barracks did a little twan and friends edit and yeah that was really fucking cool to watch and i love watching all this little insta clips all over this guy's i don't know how old he is but he's i know he was fucking young when it all happened but no one can skate like that yeah i think he's only in his 30s now yeah i think he's around my head he obviously he did fuck up i think he did a stint in prison and didn't he um but it's so good to see him on the other side and like he's happy skating he doesn't seem to be uh getting in trouble yeah doesn't seem to be involved in all that shit now it's so good because that's so much talent isn't um fuck what was that thing with uh i'm drawing a complete blank why can't i think of his name the guy that invented like all the tricks running on him yeah like that's one of his favorite skaters isn't it was Antoine Mason yeah i'm pretty sure there's that thing where he told him something yeah Rodney Marlon told Antoine some tips and he's never shared though he doesn't we said that's some shit i can remember that yeah yeah i think when you can make a gnoli look as good as he can right you kind of like to make something so simple but we like a gnoli you know we always talk about a gnoli we like a gnoli straight gnoli or you know back to other friends i like a gnoli or whatever but uh you just you just you just clicked it right and you just it wasn't like it wasn't explosive but it had pop and that makes sense that it does i mean it's the same as penny you know they're not explosive but yeah they've got how are they getting so how are they because for me he's like yeah i can get up so it's all explosion there's no flow i don't know how you can do yeah what's the science behind there yeah and he grabbed each of us one is yeah yeah yeah you know there's like all anger and they're just like yeah love your life yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so only a select few it's just like yeah the flip tricks as well from you know normally when you see people doing big flowing Arlies you know big flowing crooks handrail tricks whatever but to add that with gnoli hill down car was bad gnoli big gnoli very hills huge hill flips you know well let's just talk about the the gnoli hill down car probably the most famous gnoli hill ever just the just the way he puts that heel out mate is just so it's just it's all fairly long you know as well apparently uphill landing and you can see that way when it was away kind of just like the way it just the way it takes him it's such a weird gnoli hill it's almost like a projectile you know i mean it's like he's it's it's moving it's it's getting across the gap it's almost like like if you put your hand over the the board when he was doing it could just be doing like a gnoli each or some shit you know just just that flow still his shoulders just probably just just doing a little arm out he makes the gap look like nothing and you obviously we all know the story is about cars rather than that and you see that and so that was fucking wicked but what people say like all right yeah that's what i'm kind of saying as well like when there's this horizontal movement right it's like you just carry some german whereas if we turned up at cowls back in the day right and you wanted to jump down it you'd be going down into the ground you'd be going to go gromco that all the way down it happens on big gaps you just because you've got your gungly faster but it's like you don't want to go faster because then you're out a bit more out of control you feel like you're gonna get hurt more but he doesn't it doesn't none of that there's not he just glides just glides down the gap perfectly heel and then yeah like like we all said it kind of just you can see him start to kind of go up there a little slope whatever and he has a little adjustment i think but understandable still bolts yeah yeah couldn't have been done any better and can we talk about the trays but it's the start of this part oh what the where the song comes in yeah that's like in the yes in the sxl's the lever sxl's yeah that named me a better traysflip mike mose got one of them mike mose under there but it's one of those ones where there may even be a technically better one but the way that this is film the way it goes in with the music the way he puts his style on it is just oh oh it's it's it's yeah it's gold and it's and it's like it's still the power but there's finesse and technique in he's wearing a big fucking shoe right and he just is wearing a big fucking shirt and he just turns he just turns the ball just like there he goes that's is that's triangle yeah just touched it and it's just it's one of those ones where you could watch it and go oh yeah i just watch that again and you could just keep on doing that and just have a happy little time you how many i'm sure it's almost got it on instagram yeah i reckon you can watch that easily 50 times in a row without getting bored because you're trying you're trying to see the secret you kind of just like how is it i don't understand how he's getting to do that thing so easily there is no way you could learn to traysflip from that traysflip though because nothing it's just just little and away he goes yes so good it's almost that mystery of like being at a skate park and seeing seeing someone good or maybe someone you don't know skate and they throw a they throw a trabon or they throw a special trick past you and land it carry on going just as fast as they picked off in the same spot and you're almost like is that normal you know this guy there was no movement no change in what he was doing and i think when someone does that you're always looking to be like you know is he giving off anything that that's normal because then if it is you're like fuck this this person sick and you know it is a statement in the line to have a nice trick keep going and fuck yeah so good yeah definitely well shall we move on to the next we've got obviously he's on the he's on the squad so should we move on let's do it um it's my good right yeah i think this one more era specific for me kind of what we was on about with the eric ellington vibe and for me at this time pretty much kind of just after bacon free come out and around then i thought this guy was one of the best skaters in the world at that time uh justindallen and i think you know some skaters i'm not saying he has some skaters if they get older they can muddy himself you know fucking we can't all look good and be good forever you know you can't live like a rucks daff rather you can fucking try you can take your outcomes and you can you can earn to live however you want but um at that time you know kickflip crooks kickflip over crooks kickflip nose grind kickflip 50 nose blend all this shit down hanrow is like it's only a few people who are doing him like that at that time and he was one of them yeah it is trick selection for me was was up there i you know you get the flip back nose like down anything through kickflips did the big frontside flip over um over the tamper gap the old school tamper gap before they kind of snatched up everything but there's two court pipes that you basically did a fucking massive frontside flip over which is crazy for a street skate to be doing that sort of thing yeah um he's not on my list by the way because of what we were saying because of what we were saying that he kind of did muddy himself a little bit and he is a bit of a douche do you know what i mean he does he does hold himself as a bit of douche of men it's been on turbo oh yeah yeah and he is uh he was all right i mean i don't want to go too deep into it because i start to bend him more i start to bend in a whole country rather than just one person so i'll just leave it at that but yeah he was yeah just yeah but rightly he was incredible he was absolutely incredible and he should be kind of he should be mentioned definitely yeah and i think he is you know he's he's you kind of overdone it on the whole pistromps then uh where everyone else kind of i don't want to say grew up a little bit but kind of so but i realized that you can't you just kind of live like that and still be at the top of your game and that's why we've got bail parts from him it and token appearances yeah occasional tricks if he's lucky yeah but yeah elaborate on the on the bail parts you know because that was a bit that's a trigger when we all first saw that that was a bit of a trigger for us when i yeah what what i was in favor i'm sure i was in favor of the breaker for because he also had it in um is it holy soaks probably um yeah like some like weird like animation bit and then he just bailed a couple of times and that was that was his bit yeah i think he still tries to skate with the same ability that he had and he'll just occasionally he'll you know he'll go try a big huge kick put into a damn clue and just not land anymore fair play for it still trying it but everyone though everyone in that situation knows he isn't going to roll away from that but he's still trying it yeah but i suppose that is that's okay right you know you've got to leave someone fucking do it because they might you never fucking know they could just turn a container on and land something and surprise that i mean yeah yeah that one potential answer still a chance but yeah i think yeah back in the big of three days he was able to walk that line yeah yeah it's that approach do that shot and do the handrail but yeah it isn't on my list but he's done so much with skateboarding in an image that is an honorable mention yeah i couldn't not mention it from how much of a fan i used to be a younger age when he was kind of excelling yeah yeah i i i wrote i wrote him down straight away not in a specific order but i wrote him down straight because he's massively impactful in the in the in the sexy back in the day you know he was huge and he is baker for him for it yeah he is baker yeah 100 yeah um so my next one is because everything else has been said so it's the obvious i've only got one it's the obvious one it's the fucking boss it's Andrew Reynolds right come on if you have the option to put Andrew Reynolds on a list and he doesn't make it the fuck are you doing yeah you wouldn't be out of the here right now add into the all stairs yeah and that is a testament to Reynolds because we've done that to the chief right yeah but we could never but but we could never do it to Reynolds no that's that's why and people might shoot me down for this and that if they do fuck you Reynolds pisses all over fucking Jamie's every day i love Jamie love Jamie didn't make it on his own squad but you love him but Reynolds is a different that frontside is iconic yes it's kick flip iconic you can hit ledges you can hit rails you can flip in but you can flip out as well you know you can do many you can do big fucking all you can do everything you can do everything he's just one of the greatest of all time so he has he's got to be there you know to this day a lot of the big shit he's done how many people are matching it they're obviously how people who can but there's not many at all maybe like maybe just end so realistically realistically because and sheckler you know like they're too often i can really think of that i took it to a never level jumping down big shit and not just all you know through the frontside or doing a backside or something there's not many skaters because you're always going to do as much as he's throwing a melodin yeah exactly so it's a little bit different so you grab that board fuck off disqualified yeah for fucking out yeah and that's quite crazy because obviously he is getting on a bit so he isn't doing the insanely big stuff and for still no one to rival that i think it shows the respect to to not go to that spot and just be like all right oh he kicked flipped it i'm gonna backside flip it or whatever like you just don't do that and that in itself just shows how much everyone the whole community loves Reynolds you just had a great trick selection even even his you know is is is not he threes and his four cabs he'd throw their motherfuckers down big stairs he didn't be worried about spinning and going down or even he's he loves me he loves me he loves me he loves me yeah exactly he absolutely loves it so it wasn't that he was just a gimmick of the he had yeah at all yeah yeah at all i'm sure i mean i can't really think of a hill flip off to my head 30 days down but i bet it is i bet it is a low wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall big burial hills it's one of the reasons why i wanted to learn burial hills but um he's done it down that other set the one that they are met up in baker as well big five o's big front so flips over arrows yeah i'm pretty sure there's a big front here couple of big front heels tucked in there yeah hark up hills that work you know yeah yeah is nali four cabs were sick and he's just one of the first ones that made like going sober cool yeah because when everyone was getting like a blackout drunk or the time and doing whatever he he called it it's like i'm not doing it what was he gonna die yeah you carry on you carry on down that well you don't end well you stay down there you can't get back out so they're played with yeah i think it's definitely yes definitely just one of those things that can happen it just happens and fuck what uh i think as well like Reynolds as well sorry totally changing into footage but some of those footage when he's doing these tricks he looks tiny because how big the stairs is in those fish like he's he's a tiny and then he comes in there you know yeah not many people you have those sort of angles from well what's the name of the big uh grass gap big bush gap the he flips um the quarry can we duffel do some down it but the only it would be something librarian the Davis gap Davis gap yeah yeah nice the one that ended stay gold yeah yeah what i can do this one of the best kickflips out there mmm fuck yeah we'll be in the bass man it yeah yeah i don't know we can talk i mean we can talk we can we can carry on talking for next hour about Reynolds but i think we best move on because we can talk about him in a minute do you have another pick do i've got one more pick okay go on yeah uh there's another newbie but uh we've not too not too long ago i watched one of his videos and i was really impressed by the way he's getting because i suppose i've seen more of his footage recently this is i can kind of feel it rather than trying to grab a vibe of these pieces for a fucking 20 years ago yeah so i'm putting teeth on this just a month out there yeah i've got an honorable mention of things right there which one of us all broke it down or whatever but we broke down his video part it was like he's a skateboard that you just love watching because he just skates for himself he does he does what's right he goes hard or goes home he's just he's a true skateboarder there's no bullshit with him and i just i absolutely love it i think he's he's topped here and he's you know of a certain level as well he's not just he's not a gimmick he is right near the top of uh he can back it up can he yeah 100 yeah he didn't make it on minus but i can totally see why he would make it to a baker and he very much is baker as well and for kind of newer gen person to be a brand like we've said already like being associated with a particular company goes along way these days um i don't have any more picks do you will that was my we've done my five yeah i've got a load of honorable mentions i think we should do a quick just a quick round because there's so many and t-bunk definitely is on there definitely screams baker he's almost a mini-hermond a mini spanky which i put in my honorable mentions like he could he could almost be you know with i said herman i you know herman's obviously great same of eric elington there are a few people that really did have some specials maybe not quite as good but they're there one of them i almost when i said time specific when i'm watching baker free uh jeff lonosi was high on the list back then and he yeah if i was even if i was even older or born a little bit younger he he would be probably on the list and probably on some of their lists if they did nalstere's baker i feel like oh what definitely he's he was on he was on my initial kind of just draft the names i kind of throw out there because he had he was one of my skaters i look he had the kickflip you know he had the frontside flip he was he did that shit when he was jeff lennars yeah me too i was like jeff lennars because i didn't know yeah i mean we didn't have you know surnames like that he came back in the day you know that was you know that was uh that's an immigrant american name that we didn't really get okay you know what i mean so he was jeff lennars and he was flipping flip out you know whatever super tech big yeah oh efficient his kickflip was just that efficient that you could just use it whenever he needed to oh yeah and i think he was one of those that kind of kind of got hurt from being like kind of buried in in the middle of these bigger video parts and he just wasn't able to kind of break out just enough does that make sense yeah kind of stay there too bootlegs sort of era yeah he was younger though right he was younger than those lot he was younger than Reynolds and then dolan and elington so they were getting all the stardom you know what i mean so he was kind of in this and he was a great skater it's always he's almost like you know it's like ryan galan as well that never really got the kind of the credit i mean to escape as we know you know again efficient kickflip and all that sort of stuff but you never really got like the ultimate credit of how actually talented that person was he had a special ability and i still think it's the same as jeff lennars he just he can hit front side flips and kickflips so perfectly but i was saying we're putting him underneath Reynolds you know he's we didn't really because Reynolds was the the name on the billboard so it's a hard place to even break through that ceiling i suppose yeah um you said spanky as well obviously spanky is baking through you know i just don't think yeah he's a super refined skater now really really nice wall ride manis you know really technical tricks super technical tricks and he's one of the it might only might be the only one baker haptor like kind of let go of a few guys um and he was the only one that kind of got back on um because like braidin travansky was another one i i i love his skating and he was close to being put on the list and i forget i think some people forget how tech he was because even in baker three he does like that front side flip or it might even just be like the kind of 180 faky money front side flip out it's just ridiculous trick um yes it's a beautiful trick that trick is it and that's uh i mean we're always a manual expert here but like being in that position to then be able to generate uh rotation and afflict it itself out around and bring that shoulder up well from a manual me and you john oh we are going down in hand like that's not even a never in a question but but you can but you can you know how i mean how difficult that will be to be in that heavy arse position and still be able to generate that get around yeah yeah yeah i think and that's kind of like back then in that time the team was just so diverse and not diverse at the same time as sick like i didn't need to say too much other you know ten years ago i wouldn't have put terry canity in the top five of all stars but like great character great added nothing but added to the team visually back then obviously he's kind of washed himself out unfortunately and i think a lot of skaters a lot of people from that area you know fucking everyone you know has has vices of alcohol drugs anything you know and sometimes just an addictive personality or a little underline problem that when one put any sort of addictive abuse on just ruined it you know for everyone and unfortunately no one's perfect and no one gets a fucking guide written to on mental health and fuck when you're making money any famous a lot of these things just go totally unnoticed because of how well things look on the outside and you've got a big persona to carry on that fucking people hit right button however that is you know it might just be carrying on doing what they're doing and they can make it work and some people can't and it's unfortunate but a lot of baker a lot of skaters a lot of people is shit it just happens right and uh yeah but great but great scale well like you know terry canity was such you can say um i think he picked up super quick as well i think when he was probably forward sliding down handrails within like two years of skating two or three years of skating yeah wasn't it something crazy like he was on baker within like a year or two oh probably yeah of picking up skateboarding which is insane yeah i've always got this clip of him in in the mind's eye and he was forward sliding like down this uh devil king tandrail it wasn't like a huge handrail but i always remember seeing it when i was younger and i could kind of i could see it i could work it was like yeah fuck that is doable you know he's easy don't say it as well i can that is fucking do it you just got to do it right you just got to do it so he was one of my kind of people i'd look at and go you can you can go down handrails isn't that he's doing it he's throwing down it and he's hitting a couple of kinks and doing it so you can just you can't hit a backboard on a fucking handrail yeah and he um he made it onto the skate games as well yeah he was definitely in skate one and two was he on skate three as well probably definitely one and two yeah yeah just i know if he made it a three great persona like you know skating wasn't always you know how good you are there's always someone better but how cool of a person how much vibes how marketable and all these things were you and like as diverse as you know terry candy was back then he bought fucking fun happiness laughter and all that shit in the skateboard in which a lot of the baker guys did in their own way and why all these videos were so fucking good for everyone you know all of it was relatable if you had a skate crew and all this sort of shit but to the looks um so to go over the list let's do that we've got three that are definite so you got Andrew Reynolds uh Antoine Dixon and Eric Anderson then the only other one that has two is Brian Herman so he's in then he's in then and we've got a pick from Figgy, Kader, Dolan or T-Funk to be our fifth so yeah we should just quickly narrow that down i don't think dolan's gonna make it no that's fine i wouldn't put it on that list but that list he kind of suits that list more than me yeah that list but my kind of gut instinct i know i put Figgy but actually i think Kader just to add that more techiness to that list that's it yeah i think he didn't make like he got taken off the list obviously because of a few people but um there's already some big handle hitters in there so we can we can slide him out yeah i'm just thinking you're at a skate park and there's a demo happening what the fuck is Figgy gonna do unless it's on the unless they're like a triple king or something do you want to see a big club yeah then yeah i'm sure he can throw down on ledges and that but actually i'd much rather see Kader do some weird stuff on just a straight ledge well Kader's kind of got it all in there i mean Kader's a very all round he's not super tech ledge i suppose not super tech but he's technical enough you know he's not DC tech but he's he can he can operate in any any round i think a lot of these news here they kind of they don't kind of just put themselves in a situation when he don't touch training you know like he'll he'll be able to fucking do anything oh yeah he can play the ball like so i'm right fucking throw in 540 so whatever that's like fuck you yeah how have you got that in your repertoire in the street a nice trade blip at a 540 yeah i think i yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah uh t-funk or Kader would just hit it off nicely with some young blood and uh good baker in there um as much as i'd like t-funk it i'm lina more to Kader i think uh i think it'd be a good good good out on the team dr wicks we're we're having that very much honestly yeah run it run it down the uh the all-stars so the baker all-stars is andrew Reynolds and twandex and ericant and brine herman and Kader nice that's a fun install team that's a squad and if you got anything about your new disagree of us right in let let's know that we missed out figgy dolan whoever you know i mean we won't we won't message you back you know we're too busy we're too busy for that but at least you can vent to us i like uh normally we have a team manager but i think it's as good as it is in the team this time the boss can do it all mate the boss can just do it all he's capable he's just capable he's just one of those one of those guys yeah i think that was a pretty good one though i don't know we'll leave it there and we'll see you soon see you right right
