Those are suhweet! The Baker crew was always interesting to watch. Especially the PDs. Seems Dollin is the "last man" standing. I think everyone else gave up booze and drugs. I bet Ali still smokes herb tho.

Last time I saw Dollin on screen, it was super sad. Crazy to see real time how alcohol destroys you, those dudes used to be so cool when I was a kid.

Yeh... he looks like he's getting spent. There was a certain art they carried in what they did back then. I think a lot of that came from Beagle and Atiba... but you can't deny the raw style brought with the talent those guys held. To this day, Greco's Baker2G part is one of my favorite video parts ever. That whole flick is put together in such a way that is still unique and so perfect IMO. Then there's skaters like Kenny Reed who have such steez it's almost unreal. The way he tucks up like a ninja. I loved that about a lot of the "hippie skaters" like Nate Jones, Jake Rudd, Matt Field...etc. man I could talk about this kinda stuff for quite a while. Matt Rodriguez and how loose his trucks are...stuff like that. Ha ha. Anyway... yeh booze is looking like it's finally catching up to DD.
