Nothing like 5 P.M. on a Friday in mid-December to post something new ♥
To cap the year off, Zach Baker put the finishing touches on Baker 2k — a holiday film that seizes the “video magazine” format of yesteryear and primps it up for our frazzled social media brains.
In a series of vignettes, we get the remaining morsels of pre-pandemic European skateboard travel, parts from Dallas Todd + Emilio, Antonio third-eye-open over the Flushing grate, a portrait of the Museum of Natural History as it returned to skateboard prominence, and a check-in on Staten Island’s ABC ledges nearly two decades after they have receded from skateboard prominence.
Dustin Henry shows up early with what is quite frankly an iconic slice of skateboard choreography.
I asked Zach if he wanted to “write a thing” about his year-long project…
“Nope. Grateful to anyone who watches the whole thing.”
