Current Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Baker leads the pack when it comes to dedicated amateurs and with Baker2G, the proof is in the pudding. Andrew Reynolds, Jim Greco, Mike Maldonado, Dustin Dollin, and Jeff Lenoce welcome Terry Kennedy, Evan Hernandez and Knox Godoy to the crew. The video is packed full of all types of Big Brother type pranks, runs about an hour long and has a soundtrack of rock and rap.

Even though Baker seems to be a little overdone with the punk image at times, they always redeem themselves when their videos drop. "The Boss" and his crew constantly re-invent themselves with better and better footage every time. Reynolds' part is extremely smooth. He skates to Tommy James and the Shondells and kickflips about a 15 stair set -- what more could you ask for?! Grecs part is filled with hammers and is definitely a notch up from his part in the first Baker video. Even with this said, the Baker ams really wreck shop in this video. Though they are young, Evan, Terry and Knox give you a glimpse of what the future of skateboarding holds. And based on how talented and fearless they are now, Baker2G makes the future of skateboarding look very bright.

For a video that proclaims to be 100% raw street skateboarding, Baker2G is incredibly lame. Don't get me wrong. Andrew Reynolds, Jim Greco, Jeff Lenoce, and even Dustin Dollin (whom I'm not a huge fan of) all have great footage, but for a "bootleg" video there is a suspiciously large amount of stuff that has already been in the mags. Even worse, at least 75% of Baker2G is in slow motion, including the already boring fights and retarded pranks. The obnoxious little brat Knox Godoy has way too much footage sprinkled through the video, the rap tracks are equally annoying and the two good songs are butchered. Not unlike a guy that spends two hours in the bathroom to make his hair look like he just woke up, Baker2G definitely has that “overproduced to appear as if it was under produced” feel. Unless you are a Riddlin-addicted, pre-teenaged kid that has never heard the F-word, you will probably have a hard time making it through this vid.
