Baker Skateboards

History

In 2000 Andrew Reynolds left Birdhouse Skateboards and started Baker Skateboards with Jay Strickland, along with Blitz Distribution as an investment partner to distribute their own products^[1]). In February 2002, with pressure from Strickland to make good on Reynolds' promise of 50% ownership, Reynolds purchased the shares of Baker owned by Blitz to become the sole owner. Baker still remains a member of the Blitz Distribution family. Reynolds' promise to Strickland went unfulfilled, and Strickland left Baker to concentrate on his own company, Bootleg Skateboards (with the name taken from Strickland's first video, Baker-Bootleg released 2 years before Baker skateboards started) under NHS Inc., which has since folded. Two of bakers pro's (Jim Greco and Erik Ellington) had left baker to start their own company called Deathwish Skateboards run through Baker Boys Distribution. Shake Junt and Brigada Eyewear are also run through Baker Boys Distribution.^{[citation needed]}

In 2005, the popular Baker 3 full-length video was released, instantly becoming a hit in the industry. In 2008 Baker's new promo video "Baker Has A Deathwish" was leaked on to the internet. Despite being a promo, the video features full-parts from all Baker and Deathwish pros and most ams, and the video is also over an hour in length, being longer than Baker 3 and Baker 2G.^{[citation needed]}
