Baker Skateboards at Amateur Athlete

Founded by Professional Skateboarder Andrew Reynolds

Baker Skateboards was born in 1999 under the visionary leadership of professional skateboarder Andrew Reynolds.

Before diving into the Baker story, it's essential to understand the context in which this iconic brand emerged. In the late '90s, Huntington Beach was the stomping ground of a rebellious skate crew known as the Piss Drunx. This crew included legendary names like Ali Boulala, Jim Greco, Erik Ellington, and Dustin Dollin, who would soon become integral parts of the Baker Skateboards narrative.

The Sister to the Baker Skateboard: Deathwish

Not content with just one brand, Baker also birthed Deathwish, its sister line, which emerged from the same creative furnace.

Both Baker Skateboards and Deathwish Skateboards found their home under the Baker Boys Distribution umbrella, a hub of innovation and experimentation. This distribution powerhouse is also responsible for nurturing brands like Shake Junt, Psockadelic, Heroin, Birdhouse, and Sour.

The present-day Baker Skateboards team continues to uphold the brand's legacy and push the boundaries of skateboarding.
