Andy is the antidote to the normal comp entries. You can see he's feeling it, not just being a skate robot knocking out exactly the same tricks every time because they know it scores well. AA always has flow and steeze, I'd far rather watch someone fuck up a dark slide than never see it attempted.
Haha wow, the whole part after the darkslide too is mind blowing. Mad respects for pushing the boundaries like that. I know this definitely felt like a "special" trick to any 90's kid who grew up on THPS :D
I love how supportive skateboarding is as a community, this is the only sport where I can stumble across a video and the comments are always positive and where people are actually allowed to fail and try again without being shamed or mocked for it
Andy skates for the love of skateboarding. The fact he brings that love to a comp setting is a testament to his super awesome personality. "Andy Anderson for Prime Minister!" (he's Canadian)
Not gonna lie, this style of skating is so much more enjoyable than most of SLS. Those guys hit sick lines and some INSANE tricks; but this right here is pure passion. I'd rather watch an entire series of THIS than really good skaters who are skating the "formula to win."
Just when I thought I was gonna puke at yet another 360 kickflip ramp-to-ramp or kickflip backside lipslide, out comes AA to freshen my drink and light up my day. Never forget that the most groundbreaking street skating was done by artists.
Andy is the enigma. Andy is the past, present, and future of skateboarding. Andy is the honor we show the greats and Andy is one of the greats that we show honor. Andy is the trick that has never been done before in a competition run, and Andy is the run at the competition that avoids the tricks that are always done. Andy is the lesson that shows us what serious dedication leads to, and Andy is the jester that leads us to not take it all too seriously. Andy Anderson is Skateboarding.
Mannn that Darkslide brings back memories! Truly one of the most badass tricks to bust out back in the day. Also that Boardslide on the 90 degree rail was gnarly. Love his style
One thing I always loved about skating is how stoked we all were when one of us landed something new, didn’t matter if it was a first time Ollie or a Big Ben over a gap.
I'm more impressed with that 90 degree boardslide on the kinked rail

Dude brings back creativity and excitement to skateboarding
Rodney is probably smiling right now
Andy skates like THPS is real. So fun to watch

Dude did a front foot impossible out of a 5050 like it was nothing. 🤯

The 5-0 at the beginning made me so happy. I just love a long stylish grind.
He slidin' dirty.

hes the guy that will never win a contest but wins in our hearts and minds

His style is so awesome to watch. The level of skill and creativity is so next level.

Wow what a graceful darkslide, just like Mullen!
