Baker
Founded in 2000 by living legend Andrew Reynolds (nicknamed The Boss), Baker Skateboards is one of the most iconic and influential brands in street skateboarding history. Famous for its iconic block logo and raw aesthetics inspired by lo-fi videos, Baker embodies raw, uncompromising skateboarding focused on big gaps, handrails, and a purely rebellious lifestyle. Built with the finest Canadian maple at the prestigious Bareback woodshop (BBS), our Baker decks deliver massive pop and legendary durability proven by the most hardcore team in the game. Complete your setup with our trucks and skateboard wheels for a setup 100% ready to hit the concrete.
Baker Skateboards: "Baker 4 Life" or the essence of global street skateboarding
At the turn of the 2000s, Andrew Reynolds decided to shake up the industry by creating a brand that truly reflected the daily life of a tight-knit pro skate team living for heavy riding and street culture. This was the birth of the "Baker Crew." With legendary videos featuring a raw style filmed on the VX1000 camera, the brand quickly reached cult status. Riding a Baker deck means owning a piece of history and showing your belonging to a pure skate counterculture, backed by icons like Dustin Dollin, Bryan Herman, Riley Hawk, and the new golden generation featuring Tyshawn Jones and Rowan Zorilla.
BBS woodshop decks with devastating pop and elite shapes
If Baker decks are praised by skaters who crush handrails and jump massive stair sets, it's above all for their flawless manufacturing quality. Pressed by Bareback Generator (BBS), the absolute global gold standard among skateboard woodshops, Baker decks stand for pure performance.
Here is what you'll find in the Baker collection in our shop:
- Baker Skateboard Decks: Crafted with 7 plies of strictly selected top-tier Canadian maple. They offer an amazingly crisp and responsive pop that stays strong session after session. Find them in our skateboard decks section.
- Andrew Reynolds' exclusive "OG Shape": Baker is famous for its precise shape variations. The Boss's signature shape features squarer noses and tails along with a perfect medium concave for surgical control on fliptricks and lock-ins during grinds.
- The legendary Baker Block logo: The famous block logo with bold red, black, or white capital letters. A timeless and instantly recognizable graphic on spots worldwide, featured on decks as well as apparel (t-shirts, hoodies).
- Baker Complete Skateboards: Ideal for ambitious beginners or intermediate riders. These ready-to-roll complete skateboards feature a pro-quality maple deck, durable trucks, and smooth wheels to join the Baker Crew right away without hassle.
