This is one of my favorite video parts to watch, ever. Hes so fucking good. Support Baker. Its run by skaters for skaters. And they are all fucking amazing. Especially Reynolds and Greco. IMO.
I agree. Legendary video part, in my TOP 5 of all time. Grecs was at his peak here, funny enough that it was before he went sober. He did chill on drinking to go on his "hammer program" that resulted in most of this footage, but you can't just suddenly quit heroin, withdrawls are brutal suffering. So he was definitely still on H during this time. But as far as style goes, he's got more than anyone during this era. Hand drags and all, it's still a make!
He was, although it's not known really if he was a full-blown addict (unlikely, given how farking amazing his skating is in this video). Watch his Epicly Laterd episode, he talks about the PD days and about shooting dope specifically.
so much fucking switch switch ollie wilshire 15 is a fucking banger itself especially back then but his real banger is a fucking switch frontside flip another 15 at the end i mean FUCK!
@sailboatsandwine Baker 2G on DVD: Fat chance! Sorry, but it's true they would have to call Strickland, who went M.I.A. after Bootleg folded, they would have to get the rights to the songs...again and of course they would have to go through every single tape they had made up until that point.
I suppose Baker can't release this on DVD because the original creator behind Baker 2G was J. Strickland (whom Baker kinda fucked over, read about it on 48blocks). I guess they need his permission to re-release it. Sad that this is the only version of the video you can find, even if you download the entire video, the quality is like this...
I remember when I bought this on vhs. Good times.

Ahhh....the dawn of the after-black hammers.

jim greco is fucking sick
song.. van morrison with them- "gloria"
2:30 !!! this part is legendary. jim back when he was raw as fuck!
i liked him back here rather than what he is now
Wilshire was Greco's stomping grounds
I still never get it right to this day. :P
@ebritt916 one of the best tricks put caught on film ever!
Hairspray Suppository - The Locust
2:31 Best ever done....
i think greco was at his best in this vid he rules
HAMMERS FOR LIFE!
He was, although it's not known really if he was a full-blown addict (unlikely, given how farking amazing his skating is in this video). Watch his Epicly Laterd episode, he talks about the PD days and about shooting dope specifically.
yea i third that
I didn't realize the locusts were around back then
THE LOCUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0:35 haha always gets me
Loved this when it came out. Can't believe how ridiculously childish that opening sequence now looks.
I'd like to think in career. Especially a skateboarding career that I would progress with the years.
@fedorgspsilvamma If Baker ever releases Baker2g on DVD I'll post that. But this is only quality you can find of it sadly.
@firehacker179 : He was cleaning up when he shot most of this footage
so much fucking switch
switch ollie wilshire 15 is a fucking banger itself
especially back then
but his real banger is a fucking switch frontside flip another 15 at the end i mean FUCK!
he was also sober supposedly
thats my bad. when i downloaded it off of napster a long ass time ago it said rolling stones to get by the law
@larstait __The Locust - Hairspray Suppository
if they were to show this in real time, different angles and all, it'd top out at :34 seconds of footage.
its a song from the locust
PD foever memorries !! Most of this part is in switch at first poeple who don't know about Greco would think he's goofy !! NOT!
@mrhanna85trizzle idk if its a cover but van morrision did this one
i can teven fathom 3:30 i would die trying it lol
far he good at switch
@sailboatsandwine Baker 2G on DVD: Fat chance! Sorry, but it's true they would have to call Strickland, who went M.I.A. after Bootleg folded, they would have to get the rights to the songs...again and of course they would have to go through every single tape they had made up until that point.
I'm uploading my personal VHS copy onto Vimeo.
greco ownes i have his new Deathwish
hahahaha double that with cocaine and alcohol, Greco was the one to live like a rockstar literally...
Gloria by Van Morrison.
Was this the beginning song an original song for this part? Because, if Jim liked the locust that makes me like him even more!
That's J. Strickland's choice I bet.
Every rail trick is backside. Every flip trick is a sw f/s flip, or nollie b/s flip. Anyone pick up on that?
it would be sicker if it was filmed all with one camera
dude he got fucking credit carded in the last shot in the intro OUCH
hahaha
wats the name of the first song?
@elampert8 I WANNA KNOW TOO
whats the song
Is salt fun to play with?
dude he looks kinda like edward scissor hands
What band did this cover of gloria?
I suppose Baker can't release this on DVD because the original creator behind Baker 2G was J. Strickland (whom Baker kinda fucked over, read about it on 48blocks). I guess they need his permission to re-release it. Sad that this is the only version of the video you can find, even if you download the entire video, the quality is like this...
wat song is this???
yeah the reyn one was tight...
i think thats fukin sick tho
WHAT BAND IS THE FIRST 33 SECONDS OF THE VIDEO
@mrhanna85trizzle It's not a fucking cover. It's the original. It's Them, Van Morrison's band before he was solo.
agreed weed doesnt fuck up yo skating. unless you knox godoy, what the fuck happened to him
i think he invited hammers
how do u know?...How is he jumping:) ?
Long live hammers!
