Who hasn’t seen Mindfield? If you answered “me” to this question, then I suggest you stop reading now, buy some rollerblades, attached 10kg diving weights to each side of each ‘blade’ and ride off a pier somewhere far away from society to remain at the bottom of the ocean for all eternity!. You won’t be missed, I promise!

To me, Dylan’s got a really good section in this film; he executes everything with style, precision and he oozes control. The opening line speaks for itself and sets up the rest of his section perfectly, watch it again, it’s good! You can tell he’s a grounded person by his skateboarding and I’m looking forward to seeing much more of him in the future.

His board recently made its way into my roll-of-fame and I have to say the shape is exactly what I expected, a nice medium concaved 8 inch deck with an even-ish nose and tail ratio that allows you to get loose in a bowl as well as wild on the streets. I like the shape of this particular board a lot, it’s probably as perfect as they come if you like to skate a bit of everything. It’s solid, but rather light for it’s girth, that always good. The graphic promotes the new Alien Workshop bideo, not sure why, because everyone’s seen it and if you haven’t, you know what to do!

I recommend this ride to anyone who loves a bowl, bank, rail, ledge and hip, it’s a good all-rounder and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with this beast.

BAKER BAKER BAKER, yeah buddy, this shit’s hotter than dessert sand! I’ve been a massive supporter of the Baker movement since day one, up the anti, down with sketch, film everything and fuck the Olympics, that’s how they roll and truth be told, if you don’t like the way the cookie burns then get fucked!

Dustin’s ride, much like his outlook on everything he does is pretty extreme to say the least. The board’s shape at first glance looks a bit like an elongated egg, but when you get you’re head around humpty’s pointy nose and sharpish tail, then you’ll realise that this 8 inch piece of maple actually makes a lot of sense. See, I think this board definitely caters for the street rats of today, it’s light and snappy and this less rounded nose and tail combination allows you to flip in and out of shit with a bit more ease, thus making the shape technical by my standards and therefore it’s a street deck.

The board’s wrapped in an 80’s style vision graphic and reminds me of that show on the skatemag where this clinger-onner points a camera into skateboarder’s faces and asks them questions about their birthdays…nice!

Say it with me…”I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker, I like Baker”…now go and get yourself noticed, ride BAKER WOOD!
