As a skater, a fellow Christian, and a person, I just want to say, Respect to you and your calling, Brian.
Love this series, since I lived on Warner back then and just skated all the time. Was the sober one / martial arts kid too. Didn't know he was able to be around them like that, which is really rad. Hope he does a NineClub to hear more.
Mate these are sick. Keep ‘em coming!
I’m not religious at all but really admire that he’s not only religious but open about it. Stay up Brian and rip Paul tierney a scouser who moved to Huntington Beach as a young kid and recently died.
Love Brian he’s such a rad dude, we talk on IG about God and he’s so down to earth with everyone.

This is what makes this crew and those days special, it was not just the insane amount of talent that everyone had, the ideas the creativity but also the fuckin' characters they had....u had future drunks, future dope heads, future skate moguls, even future priest lol.
Just a dope as cat man , LEGEND.....Sumner could 100% skate man,,,,much love and RESPECT.Thankyou sir....
he had one of my fav parts in baker 2g
I met Brian at a signing along with Appleyard, Rowley,and i believe Chalmers for Sorry. I still have a signed Adio Poster, my brother has a signed Birdhouse deck!
These are amazing. Really appreciate you putting these out! I grew up watching the Baker crew (even before they were on Baker officially), and really idolized them all. Got to see all these guys at the Baker2G premier in LA as well! It's good to see Brian doing well and as he said "following his calling". Always loved watching him skate, especially to the Ramones! Ali and Dustin don't look too great sadly. Hope they can prioritize health and sobriety because they are loved by many.
I didn’t start skating till 2000 and even then growing up in Tennessee “ pretty much under a rock in the skate scene “ I felt like Brian Sumner was like the underdog the UGK of the skateboarding world. Used to watch The End all the time
That was great, I want more, much love!!
Good for him he kicks ass
That ruled! Soundtrack as well! Thank you
Big fan of Brian!!
I really enjoyed these, thanks !
These are awesome! Tony dasilva! Where’s that dude been sick 3 flip in nervous breakdown
He's big into mountain biking now. Check out his channel "The Outsider MTB"
Protect Ali at all costs, dude seems like he's still going through it..
going through what?
@@WhatisReal11 Long story short that's being told a year later. He and shane cross (another skater) were riding a motorcycle and I believe there was a wreck. Shane passed away on it. It's pretty dark. I suggest googling it if you want the full story, but I believe that's the TLDR.
Damn Brian is a rad guy! Never knew he had ocd I have it too
I always forget how good Brian Sumner was.
That photo at 9:40 is pure gold. So evocative of great times as a teenage skate rat. In that photo, he looks a lot like a good friend of mine who drank himself to death in his early 20's, mischievous, innocent smile. He was the most gnarly and skilled dude in our crew. We loved all this stuff so much. Sumner was so gnarly back in the day. A lot of what he was doing way back then is still gnarly by today's standards. All these dudes were like that.
Damn sorry hear that about your friend. U dont hear that that often in their 20s these days, now is 90% heroin/fentanyl taking out dudes not alcohol. But yeah those dudes that crew back then was gnarly af.
@@fungus_am0nguz644 Thanks, man. Somebody did give him a narcotic pill that night, supposedly, so you have a point, but I don't know what it was. That was 11 years ago, before the opioid crisis got huge. He was definitely black-out drunk when it happened, because that's how we always drank. Here's some of his best documented skating compiled by his brother, set to Metallica's Fade to Black, circa early-to-mid 2000's: czcams.com/video/15EPUNwNJwA/video.html He was super good, but never cared about sponsorship. Miss that dude.
Dollin's scouse accent 😂 wicked.
see kids thats what happens when you dont take drugs
Only a few.
@@briansumner6801 hi Brian
Definitely the cleanest style
more of this please
Great ripper and person!
I used to run those black and white adios with the flag on the side. Such an ill shoe.
That's a good dude. Fuck I wish I had discipline
Legend
As a Scouser who also lives in CA. It's atrocious what's happened to his accent.
Alex moul: nollie switch crook?
I feel like Spanky should be pissed that Elliot Page is jocking his style.
Alex moul is like 45 drinking bud ice wtffff bro
I'm confused. Is there an age limit on drinking Bud Ice? If this was filmed in the afternoon, it's probably the 4th or 5th one.
@@reidellis1988 not sure how much you drink or how old you are, bud ice is disgusting swill. College frat bros might drink it to get fucked up? True alcoholics might drink it because it’s dirt cheap? Ice beer in general is just fucking terrible. Give me an ice cold bud lite plz
@@delamiket I'm 51. I started skateboarding seriously in 1985. I'm not real picky, but light beer is my last choice. To each their own. I do hate frat boys though. Peace.
@@reidellis1988 go drink 4 bud ice and lmk when u need more toilet paper 🧻
@@delamiket My stomach is lined with concrete. Don't trip. I won't touch Milwaukee's Best.
This guys like super Christian now right? I used to steal his airspeed shoes from Walmart lol
Yes.
Hopefully you're not a thief anymore
Dollin with the Liverpudlian accent 👳lmfao
Subscribed keep them coming!!
Brian fuckin sumna
Never really saw, how he is a mix of rowley and Reynolds
I think they were implying his mindset was like Rowley's; focused on skating and let others get drunk and high on drugs.
@@thethe3244 yeah the Work mindset of rowley and the style and appearance of Reynolds. Btw I Love Reynolds, He is my Favorite
Having grown up skating Liverpool the whole of the 90s, and being a little older than Geoff and Brian, but did skate with them both, more so Brian, I can tell u that determination, focus, and keeping the partying to the minimum was what set these two apart from the rest. Focused, determined and not going mad down the pub.
@@tomf4087 yeah, its crazy to See, that besides being such a workshorse, He went a different direction. I would have loved to have him around the skatescene todays. But he did what made him happy
So weird seeing this. A skater I went to Huntington high school named Chris his favorite skater was Brian Sumner. Lmao I always forget how common it was to see all these pro skaters around hb in the 90s early 2000s.
Hear half
Reynolds was the Luka Doncic of the group
Ali Boulala looks like so tired....
so they leveled the park and just put grass there? why?
Brians accent is all over the place. Almost like he's from a new country called Livican or something
Brian could have been the greatest skater in the world
Yo bro who are you?? Ive subscribed im all in brotha lets go! Lol cant wait im sure yiuve gpt more hey maybe make your way over to liberty boardshop crew when some the blind guys (evan,james and even danny garcia all kinda grew up skating together similar to these dudes.kinda..)talkin out my @$$ any way i enjoyed good stuff
There’s gonna be an episode for each member of the crew, stay tuned
Minor Threat
Wow his accent dissipated soooo much for a Scouser
Shrooms, son
"Raising three kids doing what I'm called to do".
The song that plays around 3.30 and 4 min is a rip off of hell aint a bad place to be with that bass riff.
How can u be English and drink bud ice lol
dude dont
I dig FUGAZI
