Baker Skateboards, founded by Andrew Reynolds, has long been synonymous with raw skateboarding energy and a rebellious DIY ethos. The Kevin "Spanky" Long Terror Squad Deck in 8.25” x 31.875” carries that same unapologetic spirit, showcasing art by Mike Gigliotti, known for his bold, hand-drawn aesthetic that resonates deeply with the punk and skateboarding underground.
This deck features a striking blue background, layered with chaotic black-and-white typography, giving it an almost ripped paper collage effect that perfectly mirrors Baker’s gritty, no-nonsense approach. The oversized starburst emblem further amplifies the raw, hand-crafted vibe, making it a standout piece whether it’s being skated or displayed.
Designed for serious street and park skaters, this 8.25-inch deck delivers optimal balance between stability and control, making it a solid choice for all-around shredding. The 14.25-inch wheelbase allows for responsive turning, while its high-quality PS Stix construction ensures top-tier durability and pop.
Kevin "Spanky" Long, a longtime Baker pro and creative force, continues to bring his artistic vision and technical precision to the brand, blending style, creativity, and raw aggression. This deck represents his signature aesthetic, a perfect fusion of skateboarding chaos and refined design sensibilities.
The "Star" on the deck pays homage to the skateboard company, City Stars. City Stars was a skateboarding company founded by Kareem Campbell, a prominent figure in the skateboarding world known for his technical street skating and entrepreneurial ventures. Originally, the brand operated under the name Menace, but due to copyright issues, it was rebranded as City Stars.
The original team, often referred to as the "Terror Squad," featured a lineup of talented skateboarders, including Paul Rodriguez, Javier Nunez, Mikey Taylor, Kevin "Spanky" Long, Justin Case, Ryan Denman, and Roger Mancha.
Kevin "Spanky" Long joined City Stars after being noticed by Neal Mims and Rodney Johnson at a contest in Ventura, California. He was subsequently recruited by Kareem Campbell to join the team. During his time with City Stars, Spanky skated alongside future prominent skateboarders like Paul Rodriguez and Mikey Taylor.
