Are Baker decks good?

Yes. Baker decks are 7-ply maple (North American or hard rock maple, depending on the board) with a mellow concave, so they feel stable and familiar under your feet. Most Baker decks here use the OG shape, and each listing shows the exact width, length and wheelbase.

What size Baker deck should I get?

Pick a Baker deck by width. The 8.0" to 8.25" boards suit street skating and smaller feet, 8.38" to 8.5" is the all-around range, and 8.625" to 8.75" suits bigger feet and transition. Baker's mellow concave makes a board feel a little roomier than a steep deck of the same width. See the full deck size chart for help.

How much is a Baker deck?

A Baker deck costs about $79 at Garage Skateshop, and some pro models run a couple dollars more. That's in the normal range for a pro skateboard deck, which usually runs $60 to $90.

What are the Baker skate videos?

Baker's videos are a big part of why the brand matters to skaters. The main ones are Baker Bootleg (1999), Baker 2G (2000), Baker 3 (2005), Baker Has a Deathwish (2008), Bake and Destroy (2012) and Baker 4 (2019).
