Baker Skateboards' professional skateboarder Riley Hawk isn’t here to coast on a last name.
He’s been out in the streets putting in the kind of work that leaves boards splintered, shins banged up, and camera batteries drained.
His rough cut for War Cry doesn’t just show the tricks that made the final edit—it shows the real effort behind it.
The slams, the second tries, the nearly-there rollaways that got away from him. This is skateboarding without the polish, and Riley delivers the goods.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, do yourself a favor and watch Riley Hawk’s War Cry rough cut. It’s gnarly and packed with clips that remind you how much goes into every finished part. Riley doesn’t have to say a word—his skating speaks loud enough.
