Welcome to the archive. with over 3600 entries for team riders past and present, from Baker Skateboards, Deathwish Skateboards & Shake Junt.

Baker Skateboards was co-founded in 2000 by professional skateboarder, Andrew Reynolds. 

Erik Ellington & Jim Greco were both pro riders for Baker who left the team in 2008, to form Deathwish Skateboards.

Baker Skateboards and Deathwish Skateboards are both distributed by Bakerboys Distribution, since Baker left Blitz Distribution in 2011. 

Erik Ellington stated in an interview: "Bakerboys Distribution was founded by Jim Greco, Andrew Reynolds and myself. In 2007 we rented a small studio in Hollywood to make a home for our new sunglass company Brigada. Once we figured out that we were going to start Deathwish Skateboards we upgraded to a larger warehouse in the barrios of North Hollywood. Every member of our crew here we've known for years and our goal is to continue to provide our friends with jobs"

Shake Junt started out as the title of a skateboarding video put together by Shane Heyl. Shane said in an interview "That video highlighted some of my close friends at the time that I wanted to kind of push, like if they had this home to give their footage to, maybe this could help them in getting a board sponsor, a shoe sponsor, something like that". As the crew grew bigger, they would hand spray grip tape. Whilst Shane entered rehab, the crew kept Shake Junt alive. When Baker Boys Distribution first started, Shane approached Erik, Andrew & Jim - and asked them what they thought about Shake Junt becoming a company, selling grip tape, bolts and bearings. The rest is history.

The archive has been setup as a way for collectors, fans of either companies, or even the skaters themselves - to view the catalog of deck releases. 

You may find that there is some information missing, as some of the older releases are harder to find.
