Baker Low Life Tour: Phoenix & El Paso
Words & Photos: Hammeke

The crew got a late start out of LA but made it toPHX for the first stop on this summer's Baker has a Deathwish tour


Straight to the Peoria park. Lenoce with the switch heel


Moose with a tré flip

Lizard, ollie out as the park ranger shuts it down


Next day, the van has some over-heating issues in 111 degrees


No worries—Herman's dad is a TV repair man; he's got an ultimate set of tools


Beagle rescues a shoe from the tree


The beagle monkey


Next stop: El Paso. Found this spot on the way. Baca takes it to the 1980s and skates the curb


Deathwish is not afraid to bring a couple homies along, so this year Richie Belton got the extra seat in the Green Room van. Here, he tests out an ollie to the street


Richie's shirt says The Moose Is Loose, so Moose follows him to the street


Big in Texas


First stop is the signing at Crooks skateshop


The kids like the home-made shirts


And so does Beagle


This kid is stoked—he's got enough posters to wallpaper his room


The first signing of the trip and it only took three hours


They like to get Piss Drunk in El Paso


Then to the park for the demo


They're off


If you seen the Cayman Islands "just like paradise," you know Reynolds can skate the transitions, too


If a Lizard's tail falls off, it comes right back. Looks like this Lizard's foot does the same


The crowd was intense
