If you were around for Baker 3, you already know how unreal Antwuan Dixon’s rise was. One part, one era, and suddenly everything about how skating looked and felt shifted.
Now there’s a new documentary, The Antwuan Dixon Story: Skateboarding’s Wildest Ride, hosted by Torey Pudwill, that pulls the whole timeline together start to finish.
What the Documentary Covers
The film walks through Antwuan’s early days in Carson, getting noticed off a sponsor-me tape that was already pro-level, and quickly finding himself in the middle of the Baker crew alongside Andrew Reynolds, Erik Ellington, and the rest of that era’s heaviest hitters.
It dives into the Baker 3 breakout, the style that changed everything, and the run where it felt like he couldn’t miss—Carlsbad, Wilshire, Pharmacy hubbas, all of it.
But it doesn’t stop at the highlights.
The doc also revisits the struggles that followed—legal issues, addiction, and the stretch where everything unraveled. That part of the story has been told before, but here it’s paired with something more complete: the recovery, the support system around him, and how those relationships, especially with the Baker Boys, never fully disappeared.
You get interviews from Reynolds, Ellington, Bryan Herman, Theotis Beasley, Shane Heyl, and Beagle, all speaking on that time and what it was like watching it play out in real life.

Why It Hits Different Right Now
This isn’t just a look back.
Antwuan’s been quietly putting together one of the most meaningful comeback stretches we’ve seen in a long time.
He’s now over five years sober, skating consistently again, and rebuilding not just his career, but his life. He’s spoken openly about finding faith, getting baptized, and shifting how he approaches everything.
And it’s starting to show in a bigger way.
He’s set to land the May 2026 cover of Thrasher, and was recently named an honorary member of the College Skateboarding Educational Foundation (CSEF) Class of 2026—something that speaks more to impact than just footage.
CSEF put it best in their announcement:
“No one’s story is over until they say it is. Antwuan Dixon embodies that truth better than most.”
For anyone who’s followed his story over the years, and who’s been wanting to see Antwuan make a comeback, this is that moment where his redemption arc finally comes full circle.
