LA pulled up hard for the first major premiere of the year ––Baker Has a Deathwish Part 2 brought friends, fans and family from Philly, Torrance, Florida and beyond!

From the Baker van to King of the Road to 20-plus years of shooting photos, Burnett’s done a lot of miles and met a lot of folks working for the Mag. Check out who made an impression on Phelper’s right-hand man. As seen in our March 2021 issue.

With a nod to Jeremy Klein, the WKND boys hit the road Hook Ups style and put together a launch-ramp-infused tour, complete with a box for the top of the van and Willy Santos in tow. It’s called skateboarding. It’s supposed to be fun.

The WKND crew took a U-Haul full of ramps to the desert and things got weird. They may not have located Animal Chin but they found Josh Beagle so we’d call it a unanimous success. Warning: there will be nudity.

The stars came out for the LA premier of “Saturdays,” Birdhouse’s first full-length video in ten years. Bros, babes, the Bird, proud parents and Clive Dixon turned pro! Where were you?!

The crew hopped on a train to Vigo with the temperatures still scorching. But nobody hid in the shade. Good times by the sea. –P-Stone

With temps hitting 100 in Madrid, the crew kept the heat in check with a steady diet of cold ones. Featuring Duffy, Decenzo, Goikoetxea, and many more.

During the early '90s tech-skating explosion, Willy was right there in the mix helping push skating forward. Jamie Palmore introduces a classic part from the 1993 Birdhouse vid.
