Baker Has A Deathwish Summer Tour

About This Movie

Baker Has A Deathwish Summer Tour is a raw glimpse into the world of skateboarding, capturing the essence of the Baker and Deathwish teams as they crisscross the U.S. for demos and signings. The vibe here is really laid back, with a focus on camaraderie among the riders, like Reynolds and Greco, who bring their personalities to the forefront. The pacing feels natural, almost like hanging out with friends, and there’s a spontaneity that makes you feel like you’re right there with them. It’s not just about the tricks; it’s the lifestyle, the culture, and the moments in-between that make it distinctive. Plus, the practical effects of skating on real streets and parks give it an authentic edge that’s hard to replicate.

This film has had a limited run in physical formats, mainly available on DVD with few copies floating around, making it a bit of a treasure for collectors. The lack of information about the director and its obscure genre adds to its charm and mystery. As a piece of skate culture, it holds significant interest for those who appreciate the lifestyle and community surrounding skateboarding, especially the early years of Deathwish. It’s an interesting artifact for anyone looking to document the evolution of skateboarding through the lens of its most notable figures.
