SKATEBOARDING NEWS THIS WEEK
"Gimmie A Break!" A Baker Vid by Fel
Baker Release a Fun Action Packed Project
Zach Allen sings and drops a heavy part — he’s all grown up now. His style is badass and screams pure Baker energy. Everyone comes through, but another standout part is Tristan Funkhouser’s. T-Funk pulls off some absolutely bonkers wallrides and proves, once again, he’s a certified nutter.
The Baker AMs also bring solid clips, showing the squad’s depth. The soundtrack rips too — but hey, it’s a Baker video, they’re always great. Felix Foto handled the filming and editing well. Even without Beagle behind the lens, it still nails that classic Baker aesthetic.

Frog Skateboards - Vancouver Extras
Some Extra Skating from Frog's Vancouver Trip
Frog Skateboards treat us to 3 minutes of extra skate footage from their trip to vVancouver in Summer 2024, featuring some heavy bowl skating, as well as some street skating at some cool unique spots.
In the description of the video, Frog promised a full length skate project is in the works. I know a few homies with the 'tism that will be psyched on that one.

King Skateboards - GABRIEL FORTUNATO
Gabriel Fortunato's New Part for King Skateboards
Gabriel Fortunato drops a new 3 minute part for Tyshawn Jones' company King Skateboards filmed by TJ Marshall. Half of the 3 minutes is B-roll filmed on a microwave from when Gabriel was a yute. But the second half of the video is full of bangers, filmed on an Xtreme fisheye with a bumping soundtrack… much better.
I just wish the part was a little longer. Too many people get 90 seconds of footage and call it a day nowadays.
P.S. Gabriel has an insane nollie hardflip.

HG 6 BLOCK SHOWDOWN
Hardies NYC Host a Skate Jam on the HG 6 Block
Hardies Hardware hosted a mental jam out of nowhere where the likes of Tyshawn Jones, TJ Rogers, Nakel Smith and Jeff Dechesare thrown down banger after banger. There are plenty of other names to mention, the line up was stacked!
A fat chick provided entertainment and excellent B-roll, she stole the show. But, more importantly, a countless amount of NBD's were put down - BOLTS! TJ Rogers put like 10 bangers down it - TJ is the goat 🐐
The tune kind of stinks though.
