I don’t know him so I can’t hate him as a person, but I hate his trick selections - they are corny. Specifically the circus tricks. Is he better at me than skating? Yes. Absolutely. I’m still entitled to have my opinion.
@@newmason5572 i get what your saying but he kills it in street and park. Its kind of funny too because its like why is he doing that? but the ones that are lame to you are him just paying tribute to old tricks. its old stuff from the 80s. but thats the thing...hes like a historian that does old stuff from the 80s and then does something no one can do. no one skates like that and no one has a more broad spectrum of tricks no matter how easy or lame. He's covering 40 years of tricks. I like it all.
I'm a lifetime supporter of skateboarding. Andy Anderson is EXACTLY what skateboarding needs right now; a dedicated, highly creative, innovative thinker. When I was watching him explain every aspect of the nano cubit (great name by the way) with such pride and passion.
Andy is so rad. He takes all the best from all the different eras of skating and mashed it into his own style. And shout to powell for letting him do something different then every other company.
Andy is one of the only majorly public facing people in skateboarding product design that is genuinely obsessed with it. It’s an archetype of person that exists in every trade but it represents such a small percentage of those who practice it. “The eye of the master will do far more work than his hands ever will” is a great quote for artists. For designers and inventors- the same is true for the mind. To break conventions in meaningful ways really does require this level of obsession. Thanks Andy!
Andy is a revolutionary! Honestly i feel like everyone has their revolutionary skateboarder in their decades. Like 1980s-1990s was Rodney Mullen and 2020-2023 is Andy Anderson. Truly icons of all time.
I’m 44.. I’ve skated my entire life.. still till this day.. Andy is the best thing that happened to skateboarding in a long long time… much love Andy ❤❤❤
I got Bill Danforths prototype wheel back in the day from a company him and Chad Knight called Landshark. just all white, but since we lived in hattiesburg and drank beer at the Icehouse together with Nick- he flowed them to me.
Watching Andy in slow motion really shows off the reasons for every little tweek and change to both his board and his wheels. The geometry in motion is a spectical to see.
No one loves skateboarding more then andy. His genuine soulfulness is great for the sport. He will bring millions to the sport. Forever the humble legend.
AA Deck with PP dragon wheels, Bones Swiss and Ace Mk1 Hollow's Tapped in Shake junt No logo. Thank you for giving me the blessing of skating this dream board Andy
First off, I'm digging those prototype Mini-Logo(?) trucks. ;) So I've been bashing curbs on 54mm 97 Nano Cubes for three months and they are 100% the best wheel for ALL the reasons Andy mentions in this video. Game changer for sure. Thanks Andy and George. So at this point my set-up is all Powell-Peralta because every component is demonstrably better due to true innovation.
Dude Andy and George are so creative together 🥰 I‘m also interested in the trucks and the new board shape! Also happy belated birthday Nigel! Thanks for everything you‘ve done for all us! ❤️
me too on the trucks! those baseplate cutouts and hanger transition are def new to mini logos and not available on their store currently. new prototype presumably?
@@duffmanis1337True but so many people sleep on mini logos. They really are sick. Dont believe the negative downing talk about them & believe all the good stuff andy & others say about them. I was sceptical at 1st but decided to try them & love them. I actually switched over from indy & like the ML better now. I cant recommend them to u cause everyone has their own thoughts but if u want then maybe try them out one day if u havent already & youll prob like them
Nigel and Andy, mannn watching these 2 beautiful souls interact is blessing. Super hyped for these Vids. Watching Andy talk about something he creates is simply epic. Thanx for clip Nigel ✌️
About those trucks: The baseplates are reminiscent of the milled out ones used on Skate One's Aera brand longboard trucks (also a Powell brand). Also, the way the pivot cup is setup looks somewhat like them (see Aera K3/K4). I would guess Powell will either put out an Aera street truck, a Bones truck, an entirely new skate one brand truck, or just maybe a high end mini logo truck. (Although, I would guess against the mini logo branding because mini logo is all about doing it on the budget and those don't look like budget trucks). I would guess that given he isn't using riser pads this time, it might be a standard height truck.
Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but, Zach Doelling was riding some longboard trucks awhile back with the kingpin on the front. I was wondering if they were Powell experimental. He said they were just some old longboard trucks that he had, but, I have to wonder if it was something experimental. This was several months ago. I've seen him skate multiple different recognizable trucks since then, including Venture and Ace. He seems to switch trucks around a lot, and it doesn't seem to affect him much as his tricks look like they are on lock no matter what he's riding.
Looked at the Aera ones. You arpe correct. The baseplate does look similar. It's got the same cutouts along the sides. Those are definitely some sick looking trucks. Would definitely want a set assuming they are priced within reason. They don't look like they would be a very turny truck though with the way the truck plugs into the pivot cup. Would be pretty wild if Powell had a knockout truck, the same way they did Flight decks and Dragon wheels.
Looking at the design, pretty sure they will not wheel bite with these 52mm wheels - they look like they have a hard stop built in that limits the pivot angle. Watching the trucks in slow motion... Andy seems to be maxing out the pivot without wheel bite. Both trucks have a base plate with a "V5" engraved - presuming test version 5. One of the baseplates is engraved with "045" and the other with "047" -- part number or pivot angle ??? Definitely an interesting truck in development.
The love, the passion, and the genius! ❤❤ The combo that everyone can harness but not everyone chooses to, ya love to see it in someone like Andy! This wheel is gonna be so sick! I want some already!
Very cool. All the oldschool & newschool aspects combined in one wheel. I like it. Prob gonna have to try them out. Thx andy & george for your innovationence & ty too for makin this vid
He's got to have the sickest setup. Bar none. Lots of new stuff going on there. New wheels. New trucks. New deck shape. Awesome. Andy is such an amazing skater also, not to mention just the chillest dude ever. Powell Peralta forever.
I don't even skate and i got like "where can i get a pair in sweden?!" haha, love the enthusiasm and i hope his addition to the world of skating will become a part of history!
the slow mo grinds in the bowl sound so trippy with headphones. i wish i knew what a "normal" set out sounded like so i could tell the difference. I also really respect Andy when he's saying he didnt want to put out just another wheel, this is a functional upgrade.
I’ve been wanting a set of street oriented offset wheels since I saw Andy do the coconut wheely Hill bomb. Thanks for giving us all these behind the scenes videos. I loved it when his board was yet to be released and I was one of the first people to order one. I appreciate how much you’re still doing for skating Nigel.
Maaan huge congrats to this dude! And don't sell yourself short - this is most definately your invention! That it leverages multiple existing designs/ideas does not in any way diminish your unique execution. Big-up for staying the path; turning a dream (the many) into reality (the few) 👊
Congratulations Andy for achieving the goal of getting these wheels brought into existence. I can't wait to try them. I just got a set of the 60mm green colored dragon wheels that are offset like cubics but are only like 39mm wide and cut flat on the inside. I'm gonna try them on my cruiser board I'm building. Any chance they will do your wheels in green. Also can't wait for info on those trucks, they look awesome.
💥🤯💥✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ and I thought the green dragons are amazing and they are!! But these look so good I haven't been skating since injuries but it's been a while now and these seem like something that could actually get me back on the board and OUT OF MY WORRIED MIND ABOUT FALLING AGAIN. THANKS YOU SO MUCH 🙏✨✨✨✨✨ THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR SKATEBOARDING. Happy belated birthday too!🎉🎉🎉 Got those FS flips on lock 💪😎👍
that made me hyped. i like making things right. i will go to the end of the universe to get the right tool. You guys make me happy. been a fan for a minute
That board shape is even weirder than I realized. Also, those trucks! Love how much Andy and Powell are exploring with all of this stuff. Hope these wheels are available really soon!
thinking about andy's board is like looking into space, riding it feels like home for some reason. the shape is actually really fun because the boxy bits actually support things that need all your weight on that angle of the board, even for street flip tricks.
Andy is awesome and genuinely brilliant. Not just for the wheels, not just for his ability and STYLE, not just for his humble and intelligent communication skills and posture. For ALL of that and more! Go man - GO!
for the last few years spitfire conicals and mini logo a cuts are my preference. i only hop in mellow park transition nowadays. but those shapes have had my back my whole life. will be buying these new nano cubics as soon as they come out and are shipped here. sometimes my trucks get bashed into the bolts from enough impact on the side. it strips the threading and gets wheels stuck there forever if you let it get too bad like me. really hoping i can notice the covering of the bolt, that feature is by far the most exciting for me who likes to wallie and slappy into back crooks. you guys have the best energy thanks for being so chill about everything. great slowmos as well :)
Yeah, I like the shape of the A Cuts actually. Specifically, I like the fact that they have a slightly wider contact patch than the Bones shapes. The Mini Logo urethane is pretty terrible though. I've been hoping for a wheel with a slightly wider contact patch, but, not as wide as the Rat Bones or G Bones shaped Dragons which are a bit too wide. Something in between would be perfect, I think.
Turning 40 this week and just went to my local skate shop and built an alien workshop deck/venture trucks with nano cubic 52mm... I'm so excited to get back into skating. I spent previous years' long board post hip surgery... Let's get it!
So cool to see how Andy makes things change all the time. Like wheels, his board that doesn't even look like the heron twin egg now. And seeing the geometry of the trucks he rides, something tells me that they might be the first "NO WHEEL BITE" ones... Can't wait for the announcement...
I noticed he’s skating a whole new different setup than before. It’s a prototype that hasn’t been released to the market yet sadly. First skater i know that’s making his own deck, wheels and now trucks apparently.
To a certain extent, the wheels look like Rat Bones, but smaller height. I've been wishing Powell would introduce smaller versions of Rat Bones. Seems like something that is long overdue. Will definitely be getting some of these when they become available.
Yep. This is how wheels were in the '80s for the most part. They were off-center and the axle did not stick out. The full truck was grindable. For the most part the change is the urethane formulation. What comes around -- goes around. Here we go again. Gotta love it!
Wicked to see Powell Peralta still in the game.. also what I rode in the 90s, though very soft variant on my Nicky Guerrero board here in Copenhagen-. wicked camera shots.
I like the shape change on the nose/tail on that deck. It looks different then the Heron Egg that is currently out. I hope is next deck comes in different widths tho. I love my Heron Egg but its just a little wider then i would like.
@@75YBA From my understanding they have been doing a bunch of "experimental" board shapes and I believe Andy has had a few changes to the last Heron Egg. Since this one has the full graphic on it tho, I think its safe to say this one will probably be the next one to hit the market.
Here in Germany I made the experience that the softness of a wheel really depends on the temperature. It was pretty warm (not CA warm) in June and my Dragon Wheels felt far softer than I noticed them to be when it was colder outside. I think a 97A wheel will be too hard most of the time in central Europe to be a good overall choice for skating street. In warm regions like California on the other hand, it will probably feel like a 93A Dragon Formula does in a German Summer.
That's DOPE! Now I gotta go grab a set and give em a try. Thank you for thinking about this so much and doing the R&D. I haven't skated in a while and was getting frustrated with getting back into it. You've re-inspired me!
Designed own decks, now wheels. I guess trucks are next. Such a pleasure to see you creating more possibilities for skateboarding. Coconut wheelie for ever ❤
Great work, thank you thank you thank you, for what you do for skating. Love the slow mo section at the end, and that shop talk is priceless, development stories with George would be a winner
Finally !!!!! I was waiting for those from the time Andy mentioned them at the nine club board set up break down. Nigel your videos are awesome dude ! Cheers from Athens Greece!
The passion that drips from every single word he says about these wheels is really obvious. Go andy! Carrying on the spirit of rodney mullen but with your own unique style
dude! those trucks have to come out! that square pivot on the hanger side is ingenious! looks like something i thought of to prevent wheel bite! my idea was to have little adhesive bumpers that stick to the deck and sit in between the base plate and the wheels to stop the hanger right before you get wheel bite.
These remind me of Vision Blurs but those were reversible exactly for the reasons stated. I hope these wheels become super popular. I like the throwback name using "Cubic".
I have been waiting for these wheels,can't wait for them to be available, hopefully they are also available in dragon formula,so excited! Congrats andy and thank you

Love the thought, innovation, and his excitement!!! Dope 💯🫡🛹
These are awesome, I’m definitely going to try out those wheels! Also what trucks are those??? they look great!
I was just wondering the same thing
Powell mini logo trucks.
@@marcusprince3999 did they come out with a new model cause those look way different than the mini logo trucks he was originally skating.
@@SnoozeVGC Oh, I don't know; I didn't notice. 'Must've🤷
I'm very interested in this didn't even know it was in development.
George and Andy have been on 🔥
@@NkaVidsSkateboarding I'm excited and I agree. Always innovating somewhere and somehow.
@@NkaVidsSkateboarding he lost at Woodward west. Good reason too. Don't mock the competition.
Andy is killing it
Congratulations Andy Anderson!
Andy has become Powell's most committed, sincere and innocent skate pimp
What trucks are those? 🤔
Future Mini Logos? Maybe a Powell truck? Aera (also Skate one) make a milled baseplate.
CNC machined it looks like. 🔥🔥🔥
Designed own decks, now wheels. I guess trucks are next. Such a pleasure to see you creating more possibilities for skateboarding. Coconut wheelie for ever ❤
Great work, thank you thank you thank you, for what you do for skating. Love the slow mo section at the end, and that shop talk is priceless, development stories with George would be a winner
The attention to detail and enthusiasm that clearly went into these makes them a definite purchase for me.
Finally !!!!!
I was waiting for those from the time Andy mentioned them at the nine club board set up break down.
Nigel your videos are awesome dude ! Cheers from Athens Greece!
I can feel his passion for skating in this video
Super happy for you, man! It’s obvious you really care.
I met Andy like 7-8 years ago. Very cool dude
The passion that drips from every single word he says about these wheels is really obvious. Go andy! Carrying on the spirit of rodney mullen but with your own unique style
Oh boy!!!! Loving my dragons, gonna definitely pick up some of these. Andy is the best!
Thanks for another great video Nigel!
Andy is rad🔥
I need these wheels ! God bless and peace to all sk8ers !
dude! those trucks have to come out! that square pivot on the hanger side is ingenious! looks like something i thought of to prevent wheel bite! my idea was to have little adhesive bumpers that stick to the deck and sit in between the base plate and the wheels to stop the hanger right before you get wheel bite.
i’ve been wanting a wheel like this for so long, thanks andy
Saw them on Andy's board in Vancouver and was wondering about them...going to my local shop tomorrow to get them to order some👍
Nigel, you make the best videos in the world.
These remind me of Vision Blurs but those were reversible exactly for the reasons stated. I hope these wheels become super popular. I like the throwback name using "Cubic".
Love the stoke and the vision! Glad to see the skaters mind pushing development and innovation!
Those look huge for 52mm. Can't wait to try them!
Andy realized the QWERTY keyboard metaphor of wheel design. Great breakdown! Also, love that they are 97; 101 are rock-like.
man andy is litteraly the only person to invent a realalistic skate shoes and the same for the wheels keep it up andy
What are those trucks!!?!?? So sick looking. The machining is badass.
"innovation" is the word you're looking for Andy,
..
Skateboarding thanks You!!
I can’t wait till the trucks are ready!!!! They’re starting to look sweet.
What's up with these trucks? What are they?
Keep up the great work and you’re amazing person. I love all of your video you post.
I have been waiting for these wheels,can't wait for them to be available, hopefully they are also available in dragon formula,so excited! Congrats andy and thank you
He said they are dragon formula.. They slide too
I'm so stoked for when these drop
Wow! This sounds like the perfect wheel. I'm already in love with the dragons. I can't wait to try this one. 😍
I'm gonna buy them just to support Andy. Haven't skatet for 5 years because of injuries. Soon I'll be back coconutting everything!!!
Amazing innovation!
❤ these!
Definitely gonna buy a set or 2
The way way back…. ❤😊🎉
Your shots on this video are so clear, it’s amazing seeing the slow motion shots
Andys footage in slow mo is just poetry.
