Baker has a Deathwish

About This Movie

Baker has a Deathwish, well, it's not your typical skate video. This 2008 documentary has this raw, chaotic vibe that really captures the essence of the skater culture during that era. It’s like a time capsule filled with just leftover moments, and you can feel the camaraderie among skaters like Andrew Reynolds and Jim Greco. The pacing? It's all over the place, in a good way, with hijinks that feel spontaneous rather than scripted. There’s a certain charm in how it showcases the unpolished reality of the skate scene. You get glimpses of personalities like Erik Ellington and Antwuan Dixon just being themselves, which adds a realness that’s refreshing. Definitely distinct from the heavily produced stuff out there.
