Baker Spanky Roses Deck Black

Baker Skateboards was founded in 2000 by Andrew Reynolds after leaving Birdhouse and forming a crew around Huntington Beach and Los Angeles. Filmed by Jay Strickland, the crew's early footage developed into Baker 2G, introducing Baker's distinctive mix of heavy street skating, humour and personalities to a much wider audience.

What started as a crew quickly became one of skateboarding's most recognisable brands, with Baker's videos playing a major role in its growth. In 2011, Reynolds, Jim Greco and Erik Ellington established Baker Boys Distribution, expanding the Baker family while keeping the original brand at its centre.

Kevin "Spanky" Long now works as Baker's Art Director alongside Reynolds and Mike Gigliotti, bringing his experience as a skateboarder and artist into the graphics and creative direction of the brand.
