The Piss Drunx were a loose crew of skaters, including Erik Ellington, Andrew Reynolds, Jim Greco and Ali Boulala; known for their reckless partying lifestyle and unfiltered approach to skateboarding. Emerging in the late '90s and early 2000s, their authentic personalities captured on video tape by Beagle led to a level of influence within skateboarding that changed the culture on a global scale. Their original friend group was the foundation of Baker Skateboards and later Deathwish.
The videos, such as Baker Bootleg, Baker 2G, Baker 3, and Baker Has a Deathwish, redefined skateboarding media. Providing a window into the lives of the skaters showcasing a mix of hijinks, bails, partying and skating amongst friends.
The original crew cemented Baker and Deathwish as brands synonymous with freedom and rebellion. They inspired countless skaters and played a significant role in skateboarding's evolution into what it is today. Even as the Piss Drunx lifestyle mellowed out over time, with many of the members living clean and advocating for positive change, their legacy lives on as a testament to the impact of authenticity in skateboarding.
