The Baker Deck Andrew Reynolds Cosmic Gumbo (8.5") is a standout collaboration that merges skateboarding heritage with comedic flair. Measuring 8.5” x 32” with a 14.5” wheelbase, this deck offers a stable platform suitable for both street and transition skating. The graphic, titled Cosmic Gumbo, is the brainchild of Kevin “Spanky” Long, a fellow Baker pro known for his artistic contributions to the brand. The artwork combines surreal cosmic elements with a playful twist, reflecting both Spanky's distinctive style and the deck's unique theme.
Baker Skateboards, founded in 2000 by Andrew Reynolds, has long been synonymous with raw street skating and a rebellious ethos. The brand has cultivated a reputation for its gritty videos and a team that embodies the core of skateboarding culture. Reynolds, often referred to as "The Boss," is renowned for his powerful style and commitment to progression, both on and off the board. His influence extends beyond skating, impacting the industry's approach to professionalism and brand development.
This particular deck is a collaboration with Tim Robinson, a comedian celebrated for his work on Saturday Night Live and the Netflix series I Think You Should Leave. Robinson's unique brand of humor, characterized by its absurdity and relatability, has garnered a dedicated following. Interestingly, Robinson has a personal connection to skateboarding; he has been an avid skateboarder since high school, a passion that informs his comedic perspective and creative projects.
The Cosmic Gumbo deck embodies the fusion of skateboarding and comedy, representing a shared spirit of creativity and individuality. It's not just a functional piece of equipment but also a collector's item that celebrates the intersection of two vibrant subcultures.
