Greco helping Reynolds get sober and better overall is awesome. For all the stuff he dealt with, he's a real one.

I already saw this years ago. Just like the Chad Muska upload. Vice is just re-uploading old videos as if they're brand new. So yeah, you guys aren't seeing anything new. You're getting fooled.
@@oeeszett I think I am cuz I'm not like you clown and think this is brand new
@@bettynuggz literally nobody cares that you saw it already.
@@cloudshad0ws obviously you do by talking about it clown LOL oh my gosh what a clown
Vice's mission is to cover the entire Tony Hawk Pro Skater roster
I’m okay with that
I’m here for it! 🤘🏼
Seriously 😂 thought the same thing
Hope so
You’re about 10 years late lol 😂
I haven’t skated in years, stay gold was an amazing part. I miss the culture and friends of skating. Youth, if you’re watching this hold onto it as long as you can. I’m only 28 but the best days of my life were skating with my friends from age 13-17
Same brotha
I also mostly skated from 13-17 and I would skate for at least 2-3 hours a day. I'm 32 now and I recently got back into it with a few buddies who are new to it. It is SO much fun. If you get the chance just go for it. Even rolling around and pumping on some ramps gets me in a great mood
Same age, and nothing but the truth good times ..
Dude you are still super young man. Wait tell your 43 an can hardly throw the board around anymore. You are in your prime. Make the most of it before you are truly old. You are only as young as you feel man.
Dude 28 is so young. I'm 42, skate a few times a week and watched my friends both late 40s doing Tre flips over the hip this morning. As long as you have the passion, the fire you can still skate. If you don't miss it, then don't skate 😊
I’m 32, and I grew up on Andrew Reynolds. I’m so happy he’s doing well and is healthy. Respect to the real legends
Me to man me to...these guys were the legendsme and friends wanted to be
The back and forth between Andrew and his daughter is so funny 😂
Fist off, shout out to Neck Face for rocking Mercyful Fate. Andrew Reynolds to me, as a 13 year old in 2002 was my absolute idol. I had the skin tight black jeans, the Reynolds 2 Emerica in Mint Green, the long sleeve button up white dress shirt, the long jet black dyed hair, the whole 9 yards. He embodied what the culture of skateboarding was for me. I met Andrew Reynolds first at Skatelab (RIP) for a demo in 2002, coolest guy ever and nice and just the star of the show. Then I went a few days later to a signing at Pharmacy skate shop and he mentioned something like "hey you were at Skate Lab, how are you?" type thing which meant a lot. He then asked something around the lines of "what are you skating on right now?" and I had mentioned that my board had gotten stolen a few days prior. He said "what? no way?" He called over someone who worked at Pharmacy and then pointed to his signature baker deck on the wall and then handed me the deck and said "this is for you".. This guy was my end all be all hero giving me a skateboard. About an hour later I was behind the shop with some friends just recording on a camera I had gotten for Christmas and he came out just kind of messing around smoking a cigarette and I had asked if I was allowed to just record the interaction and ask some random questions, he graciously allowed and was full blown honest and true. You have to understand how much I was on cloud 9.. this guy was my absolute hero and I has pretty much a personal recording of this guy who to me was larger than life just talking into my camera and being himself. I will never ever forget that as long as I live, I'm 32 now.. and to this day, even though I don't skate or am not as privy to the skate industry anymore, If you told me I had the chance to sit down and get to hang out with Andrew Reynolds?.. I would jump at that in a HEARTBEAT. Thanks for the memories my friend.
That's dope..I know that had to mean the world to you. Cool dude sounds like.
At 33 i just bought a board for the first time since i was 15. life has been kicking ass and i just thought of times i was happiest and it was back then when we skated for as long as we could where ever we could. Andrew describing losing yourself in a trick just hits home for me. may we all get to keep skating as long as possible!!
nice dude dont stop
Nothing like grabbing your board
Even if you're not out trying to fs flip a 15 stair that day lol you can still Cruise around
Plus good excercise
I just wanna say it's cool to see your comment! I am 36 and hadn't really actively skated since I was about 14 years old. On Easter, I got on a board and it was surreal. I just bought a used board and now am going out with my 2 little kids while they're on bikes. I so badly want to do what I used to do. But it's like I only have a little bit of ability now. I guess I need to get the board to where it's like a part of me again. It's so fun right now though! And I don't know about you but now I look back at the kid me, and realize I was so hard on myself but I was good! I was doing things I won't even attempt right now.
@@spdzne hell yeah man!i got 2 boys myself and taking them to the park was def something needed!!
100%
Crazy man this brings me back to like 2005. Great work capturing Andrew man - I would also love to see an Epicly Laterd on Jamie Thomas - just throwing it out there
Jamie Thomas would be Sick ..Zero had an over powered team until 2010
I want to see a Greco one too
blows my mind how good his style already was as a little kid in giant clothes. that footage legit gets me hyped to skate
I love how Andrew sees the parent point of view on how to support your kid in whatever makes them happy and be there for them. His mom deserves an award 👏
Isn't Kader abandoning the crew for 5 more bucks and a lolipop
I feel like people who go really far in life either have great parents who support them in any way they can, driving them to practices/rehearsals/the mountain, etc. OR they have unhelpful/absent parents and diving into a sport or an instrument is a way out. It also helps to numb the frustation and pain.
As someone with two young kids, I really see dedicated, selfless parents are the coolest people in the world at this stage in my life.
Andrew's style is unmatched, he influenced a whole generation.
they didnt even have to 3d model him for the thps.. his style in so clean n npc like they just chucked his ass in there
The "BOSS OF THE BOSS". This dude inspired a whole generation of skater to wear fitted hats and Frontside flip everything possible myself included. I did so many Frontside flips and fakie frontside flips that I could go without skating for a year and still stick one. THANK YOU ANDREW REYNOLDS FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO THE CRAFT.
Andrew was always my favorite skater because of his tricks and his style. But, now he is my favorite skater because who he is as a person. This is such a heartwarming story.
what a video nice job guys
I already saw this years ago. Just like the Chad Muska upload. Vice is just re-uploading old videos as if they're brand new. So yeah, you guys aren't seeing anything new. You're getting fooled.
@@bettynuggz Does it really matter? It's an amazing crew regardless.
@@860SkateCo it does matter because they're fooling you clowns, I'm sorry you got fooled clown
@@bettynuggz Lol you sound like a 12 year old
It started with Muska for me. Than i started shredding and found Reynolds. The boss and Baker literally made me who i am today at 38. Thank you Drew.
hell yea! there were some legends that really paved the way in the 90s/2000s
I legit think we came up in the best era of skateboarding. It was that sweet spot between the early punk/Surfer days, and the mainstream athletes of today.
@@rosecity_chris I had to watch this from Australia where it was just a crime till 2004. Suddenly we get a gold at X games and it's a sport.
I had 7 boards taken or broken by cops between 93 and 98.
The only reason it didn't happen after was I ran away.
man good ol 4D days in elementary into middle school 6th grade ahh early 2000s
For me they are ants compared to PENNY. I gota amit baker 2gg and baker 3 were sick video. I started skating in 2000
the part when his daughter said 'i got your back' i was like man that's proper parenting right there, let her be herself and she's as supportive of him as he is of her.
if you are talking about when they were skating the bowl, that wasnt his daughter saying that it was kader.
Stella has potential to be something big in skateboarding
@@nvm9040 I looked at her Instagram, it doesn’t look like she still skates, I think this episode was filmed at least 4-5 years ago
@@debomb721 oh well
Andrews part in Emerica’s “This is Skateboarding” had a huge influence in my life. As a skateboarder who’s struggled with addiction, this piece was inspiring. Thanks.
This series is a masterpiece, well done everyone involved in this project!
Agree 🔥🔥
I mean every single epicaly later’d is the same copy and pasted video with names changed 😂
@@TheJuice_1995 o so you mean a documentary series?
where is TK?
@@MrRanglac a documentary series of this one character arc. Talented skateboarder grew up from humble beginnings, who then earned money, who used said money to inject copious amounts of alcohol/drugs, gets clean, starts skateboard company. SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT, EH?
teared up with joy multiple times during this video! I've been skating for 15+years and i truly want to say that SKATEBOARDING THANKS YOU ANDREW!
Ive seen andrew in austria 20 years ago with the whole emerica crew. I remember turning around and seeing this big guy doing a huge frontside flip from this gap i could hardlie ollie bcs it was so high. This picture burnt in my mind. What a great experience
This made me feel good being 39 and I still have a skateboard that I can go out and ride just like I always have. Thanks Andrew for inspiring me with your perfection and attention to detail for over 25 years now.
Growing up a Baker kid and seeing all the changes Andrew and Jim and so many of the Baker/Deathwish riders have gone through with partying and longevity in skating has been so important. Reynolds is such a good influence for skate culture and role model for skateboarders of all ages. 🤘🔥💛
Can you tell me the whole name of the baker skater named Dustin I think..
@@yunge9482 Dustin Dollin
A god among men. Andrew is the definition of what it means to live and breathe as a skater.
He's named THE BOSS for a reason.
He blessed my hometown. 32:06 "Davis Gap"
Preach
@@QueenOfRoblox14 pretty sure. Alot if us dont skate anymore. But we all still watch skate videos.
@@82PeRK True true. Skated for 20+ years. Disabled vet now but I still watch all of BAKER/DEATHWISH vids.
@@NineteenEighty8 37. Watched Jump off a building the other day. Man, those were the best years. Koston, Getz, Reyonlds, Rowley, etc.. Crazy to look back at those videos and the quality of film and content accessible today.
That photo of Reynolds’s, Spanky, and Herman was my teenage years skating all rolled into one single photo. They were everything.
No it wasn't kook.
I had know idea Andrew was battling Alcoholism. The Story/Struggle behind STAY GOLD is truly poetic.
Reynolds Style was never flashy. Better yet, His rhythm of tricks and dedication to Huge Spots has earned a Footnote in the History books of Skateboarding.
No**
Dont you know the difference?
Wholesome doc BTW vice
1:49 personally one of the best backside flips ever! To the angle and the way he catches and lands it boss mode
Best series on vice, so many great memories of Andrew
As someone who spent years struggling to get sober this really hit me man. If you got a friend or family member in that struggle I know it's hard to have patience but a lot of us wanna be clean when we're that bad off. It's tough man. I can't put into words how tough that battle was

Omg lmao
It's so cool to see this stuff, all the appreciation from everyone he's influenced and helped out. Usually this kind of praise is only given once someone has passed away sadly, so it's just nice to see it now, that he can see it and take in how big of an impact he's had on skateboarding. Not just all the people he has helped out directly but everyone else that has ever watched a clip of him and got hyped to go skate.
Andrew and the Baker boys influenced me more as a kid than anything, motivated me more than anything.
And even now, at 30 years old hes still the main reason I step on a board everyday. Him and Spanky will always be my favorite skaters.
Those dudes were my idols as a kid,sitting on the dummies couch watching videos, watching the clips on tony hawk pro skater, these dudes were the best. at 29 they are still my idols I still skate because of them. Thank you skateboarding, thank you Reynolds
Ill be 40 next year
His part in birdhouse the end was epic too. I watched it so many times
I used to pause my DVD player right at the height of his tricks, especially the FS flips, and just gaze in awe at the sheer altitude he achieved WHILE throwing himself down 17 stairs..
I mean he would add another 5 or 6 stairs of height to his drop just bc his goddamn pop was sooooo gnarly!!
Why release it 5 years later, he’s 44 now not 39
I have always looked up to Andrew and still do at 33 years old. Keep on being you Andrew! and being a great dad and role model for many other people. I'm sure I sound like a weirdo fanboy but his story is similar to mine and he just seems to be the most genuine guy. Keep on pushing until we can't anymore.
I met this dude at Beebe Skatepark in Mission Viejo CA when I was 11 in 2004
was practicing kickflip when he came up to me and helped me land it
he gave me advice and how to keep my feet under the board.
Really nice guy and casually landed a triple kickflip on flat
He's in the top 10 of influential skaters for sure
I bought Birdhouse - The End, in 1999-2000, my 1st skate video and Reynolds part, really was my favorite part. That DJ Shadow "Organ Donor" track was fire. I had that cassette, "Endtroducing..." in like '97. My bro and I, used to watch the Baker Bootleg and the Emerica video, every single day. Emerica Reynolds 2s, those were the shoe! Had a few pairs. Those, the Marc Johnson's and the Koston 2s, were some of my favorite shoes from back in the day. Oh, also, Circa Jamie Thomas, idr CM97 or something, were my jam, too. I'm glad that Baker lived on past the partying days and has become a team with some of the best young riders in the game.
I’m so glad Vice recognize Andrew Reynolds. He was literally my idol growing up as a teen and I had nothing but respect throughout the years he’s developed. It literally inspired me to this day
One of my favourite skaters of all time, I remmember one of the first videos on UA-cam I watched was his fs flip tutorial, seemed so easy when he was doing 'em. Props to him, one of the greatest skaters ever.
Also his part in Emerica This is Skateboarding was soo good
He has one of the best fs flips ever and his Stay Gold part is legendary
Dude I remember that vid. He was wearing a leather jacket and an Atlanta hat.
That Stay Gold part will forever be my favorite part of all time. The skating, the music, it's an amazing piece.
Thank you guys for doing this on Andrew. I was seeing all the other ones coming out that you guys did and I was thinking you have to be doing one on the boss. He was the biggest inspiration to me since I was 10 years old and 20 years later I can still say that Andrew Reynolds is one of the biggest impacts and inspiration. Thank you Andrew for all you have done for the community and most importantly the kids. You are a legend.
I still have my baker BAKED board in my trunk. Im 35 and have always skated renolds merch. Glad to see where he left off. One of my heros growing up, still is now i can see he has a family like me. Good luck in life andrew!
This was great. Awesome story and documentation. I started skateboarding in 1999 and Andrew’s part in The End always got me stoked to skate.
How his legs and knees and pretty much his whole body, how it held up for so long doing those kind of tricks is truly remarkable.
Im new to skating an i’m trying to find my way in life and skateboarding. I didn’t know much about Andrew other than his relation to Baker, after watching this i have a new person i look up to. The story of his amazing skating, how he overcame his problems, and ultimately turned his life around was truly inspiring.
This was so Epic..pure Gold. Thanks for making this. I lost many friends in skateboarding and Almost lost myself . So nice to still be here RIP to all the guys that didn’t make it. Harold Hunter,Justin Pierce,Keenan Milton the list goes on . Skate on bros.
Epicly Later'd is the best thing Vice has done! Blacking out from alcohol is the worst. Im very happy I was always around trustworthy ppl when I did overindulge in liquor at a younger age. For me, the anxiety Id get at a bar or a house party never helped that issue and the anxiety mixed with lots of drinks never ends well for anyone. Luckily I was never mean. Just an idiot lol
Seeing Andrew with his daughter and be so rad with her brought tears to my eyes. Wish my dad would of spent time with me like that.

This isn't about you
skateboarding in the early 90's was crazy. I grew up skating at Love park and Independence hall in Philly among such unbelievable talent. Some of it rubbed off, but guys like Andrew Reynolds were just simply on a different level...
I remember skating his model shoe from emerica “Reynolds 3” back in 2012 and I was starting to get good at skating. and after watching him in Baker 4, he shown that he came a long way and still has the spark in him and never lets it burn out.
I met Reynolds back in the day and he was cool as hell. Much respect to him and for bringing up so much talent.
pmp
myea mm
I'm a BMXr and Reynolds is one of my favorites! Truly inspiring!
Skating and playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2 as a teen, Andrew Reynolds was one of my favourite pro skaters. Naturally there were others as well who got the same respect, but there just was something special about Andrew and his style.
Damn those two kids. She's so into it and sounds sweet and the part where the little guy jokes around with Andrew is just so damn wholesome. Embrace the young minds, you can learn from them too, its fantastic. Also skateboarding really is something you need to get on as young as possible like walking and riding a bike. It makes the world of a difference and whoever is around you at that time sets you up for something good, or being stupid and drugged/boozed up for no reason. Gatekeeping and psychos is something i could never handle and copped out of it young. With these guys it would have been such a privilege to be around in an era of skateparks and smartphones and its awesome to see them wearing some protection. How Andrews knees and body held up defies nature, wtf. Not many people would still be walking from those impacts
This man cannot be later'd because HE NEVER FUCKING LEFT! ALL HAIL THE BOSS!
Really cool to see how he's giving back & creating a platform for skaters old AND new.
He's not just creating jobs, he's fostering a legitimate culture. This is awesome.
I really didnt expect to be touched like that by an epicly laterd episode, this is like the most beautiful UA-cam doc ive ever seen and im tearing up. I love andrew now and i didn't know who he was like 25 mins ago
i started skating at age of 6, in 1995... i was the only kid doing frontside flips gaps and stairsets beacause of him... andrew was a big inspiration for me. and nowaydays, if im in a nostalogic mood, im watching his old baker and emerica parts.. legend!!!!
I have always wanted to be just like him. All the way to the full cab and Frontline flips. Definitely the GOAT at street
His relationship with his daughter is so dope. Skateboarding is everything to me and this video made it more worthy for me.
Really good video. Especially really cool to see him and his daughter and friend, Kader cutting it up at the park. I went through the same thing with alcoholism and got sober... So it's a good feeling to see Reynolds come out as a good person. Just overall really good vibes from this vid.
my first skateboard ever was a Baker! Andrew Reynolds was one of my go-to guys in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games. his style was just so dope. he will always be one of the GOATs of street skating!
I remember in high school I had the purple Emerica Reynolds. The ones that came with the fake diamonds. Those were my absolute favorite shoes so I never skated them.haha
This was amazing. I idolized the hell out of him from childhood to adulthood. What a trip his life has been. And it was so cool to watch this. The BOSS! 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
I remember my first real skateboard in like 5th grade was an Andrew Reynolds Baker board with an alligator eating a Starbucks cup. I never got on these dudes level skill wise but man people like Andrew, Mike V, Paul Rodriguez, PJ ladd, and rodney Mullen really shaped me and all my boys as kids true idols and icons in the skate world. At 24 I still remember what it felt like watching these dudes videos as a 10 year old and the thrill it would give me. Great job vice.
I was once in Austin, TX in about 2005 while I was in college and decided to hit up some famous skate spots with a friend. As we are walking into one of those drainage ditches, who do we see but the entire baker team. It was pretty cool!
I grew up watching every video Andrew ever made from the beginning to end, still today I try to keep up, Im 41 now skate or die!
6:02 It's funny we all know Tony is a legend but he doesn't come to mind in terms of great style, but that 3 shuv front rock was super steezy and some how in my 25 years of skating have never seen that clip. Random comment I know.
I didn’t even recognize it was him. Style seems so different in that single clip.
Andrew Reynolds, Geoff Rowley, Eric Koston, P-rod, Jereme Rodgers, Bastien Salabanzi, Rodney Mullen, Erik Ellington, Jim Grecoe, Rick McCrank. Damn I had smoke legends to watch growing up and getting into skating in 2001.
36 here. My 11 year old got imto it and i skated for years in late 90s early 2000s. Weve been hittin up skatepark. Never in my life did i think id share a mini vert session with my 11 year old kid and still skate at 36. Such an awesome feeling.
Aw man seeing Jake Phelps in this is great
Reynolds is the G.O.A.T.
Phelper🥺
Kinda crazy how long this series has been going on! Also hearing all these people speak so highly of you shows how much effect he’s had on the industry
I swear this one has been uploaded before
Yoooo... This episode got me tearing up and sniffing, damn it 🥺😢😭... This is extremely inspirational on so many levels. Reynolds is that role model/father figure we all need. His guidance and wisdom comes from personal experience and life lessons... I've always had so much respect for this man, but this episode really showed me how much he truly cares about others. He definitely a fighter, protector and a leader too many. Thank you 🙏
The Boss 😎🔥😎🔥😎
The last shot with him and his daughter sitting together was my favorite part how they both move their arm shows the connection they have
Dude was my idol. Him and Heath Kirchart were my motivation to where dress shirts and hit handrails.
Talented people should definitely help cultivate the next generation. I wish Rodney Mullen would do the same thing as far as passing on his knowledge of flatland. So many of the tricks he's done haven't been done in decades because they're too hard to replicate without instruction (i.e his impossible late varial kickflip on flat from questionable). He did have a part to play in helping out the guys on plan B back in the early 90s which most people would agree that that's when modern street skateboarding was born but I think every since his A-team project failed in the early 2000's, he gave up on trying to pass on his knowledge.
He doesn't owe anybody anything. He showed what was possible and paved a path in doing so that many have followed and forked off on to their own. Let the man be!
@@mattnewfoxred what? When did I say hes obligated to pass on his knowledge lol? People will figure out his tricks with time, Johnny gieger has proven that. I'm just saying it would be nice if he did because it would be a shame if those tricks got lost to time.
Early 90s no doubt
Giger been on a mission to replicate all his tricks.
Man he helped out so many under the world umbrella and is still involved in Almost
One hour of his peers and contemporaries praising Andrew for being a great man. When it comes to being a father, a business owner, a mentor, a friend and doing what it takes to get and stay sober. Stepping up and trying his best to do the right thing and not taking the path of least resistance.
And the video is prefaced with VICE warning about disturbing scenes.
VICE was great. It's such a shame the virus hires unleashed on the company that has rotted them into the antithesis of what they set out to be and into what is most of the rest of today's media. It is a great time for alternative media to step up and fill the void. Just like the same kind of pure minds that started VICE.
I love Reynolds since the 411 video days and shredding the warehouse in THPS.
KEEP DOING THAT WORK ANDREW REYNOLDS, YOUR DAUGHTER SHREDS & WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DOC!
I remember as a kid, me and my best friend at the time would try frontside kickflips to look ad perfect as andrew's. Dude just had the smoothest, most effortless fs kick we had ever seen. Thank you Andrew for the inspiration to push for perfection, and RIP JP., those were awesome sessions.
This is the skater I was waiting to see after the muska one came out. Reynolds was the dude back in the day! Crazy cool deck art too.
Especially growing up in John montesi’s neighborhood in Florida.
Andrew is a great role model. He's protecting all these kids and watching them progress in skateboarding!
Fantastic episode ! I have always thought that you are a manifestation of your environment. You surround yourself with dedicated people in your craft and you can achieve anything. Andrew and his group are very lucky to have found each other. Very inspiring!
I'm almost 35 and over the last few years have fallen out of love with skateboarding(and life, I used to tell people if I quit skating I basically quit life). I just stopped getting enjoyment out of it and went less and less. Recently I was trying to skate more and was getting back into it but winter is basically here and it's cold out and I've been working 60 hour weeks these last few weeks. This video made me want to find the passion for skating again and try to have some fun. Would love a nice local indoor park for when it starts snowing; used to go shovel the park and skate the local park as best I could, not sure I'll have the energy for that this winter or not.
Andrew Reynolds has and always will be one of my favorite skaters I consider him a legend‼️🤙
I wanted to learn frontside flips soooo bad because of andrew reynolds.
Andrews been my favorite since i was 16. Ive been skating now 17 years and I'm not slowing down im only speeding up
Great documentary 🤙🏼 Baker board was my first pro deck. Reynolds’s were my fave shoes to skate growing up
To share the sport you love, with your kids is incredible! Well done Boss!!
Amazing! What Andrew has inspired in the world is unmeasurable. What a great role model
Dude Andrew Reynolds and his pretty ass kick flips he was one of my favorite skaters I met him at spot in Tampa when I was like 15 super chill dude
I got to meet Reynolds in Pittsburgh, PA on the Stay Flared tour. This was the man solely responsible for my love of skateboarding from 4 years old when Tony Hawk Pro Skater came out.. the main I modeled my entire life after.. and I always heard the saying, “Don’t meet your heroes.” After the demo, the pros hung out, skated and met some people. But, Reynolds disappeared. I got to meet Jerry Hsu, Leo Romero, Riley Hawk, Figgy, Brian Herman and I even got to meet Heath Kirchart. They all fucking killed it during the demo. I had front row to the whole thing. Jerry Hsu and Leo Romero sat at my feet to take a break for about ten minutes. Reynolds killed the demo as well but he’s the only one that disappeared after the demo. Kirchart even stuck around and met fans. So I was pretty bummed out even though I got to meet some of my other favorite skaters. But I really wanted to meet Reynolds and thank him for being a role model to me not just in skating, but life as well. So as we were leaving the park, I catch a glimpse at this dude sitting under a pavilion by himself about 100 yards away from the park with his back turned towards everyone and it was near the van they pulled up in. My brother jokingly said, “Look. There’s Reynolds.” and laughed. But I stopped immediately and looked and sure enough, there was Reynolds sitting by himself at a table under a pavilion. This was my only chance. I knew he didn’t want to get swarmed by fans so I politely walked up to the side of the table and said, “Hey man. I apologize, I know you are probably trying to avoid the fan interactions by sitting over here but I drove 2 hours away to come here and I’d kick myself in the balls if I didn’t come up here and just tell you how much you changed my life. I got into skating because of you, admired all your parts and tried so hard to emulate you on a board. You are my childhood hero man. Part of the reason I’m sober today is because of you and your openness with addiction and whatnot. So I wanted to thank you. Thank you for coming out and performing here and thank you for taking 30 seconds to tell my story.” he stood up from the table and smiled and thanked me for sharing my story with him. He said he wasn’t actively trying to avoid fans but instead wanted to give everyone else the spotlight because he’s already been there and done it for years. He then asked me a few questions about my sobriety and how long I’ve been skating, etc. He sat and talked with me for about 15 minutes and then offered to sign something, take a photo, etc. He shook my hand and I thanked him for his time and he looked at me and said, “No. Thank you. It was a pleasure.” And that interaction is the exact reason why Reynolds will always be at the top of my list. He didn’t have to be nice. He could’ve shooed me away. He could’ve been like Brian Herman and cussed and swore the fans out. But he didn’t. He took the time out of his day to hear my story and thank me. He’s forever a class act.

I always liked how even after Drew got clean, he still kept the wild kids on Baker.
The subtle muska and penny diss lol
Not a diss just objectivly true. He's saying that becasue when he was young his role models were Muska and Penny. He wanted to live like they live in California and once he was there that's exactly what he did. During The End he even looks a lot like Penny when it comes to trick selection,style and the way he would dress. He's comparing his role models to the ones Stella has,and her's are a lot more clean and don't have drinking and drugs in their lives.
Man ! This gives you the love for skateboarding if you didn't already have it !!
I'm more of a BMX rider myself but got nothing but huge love for skateboarding ! Pioneers
VICE is seriously exposing talents too ! Watching a lot of different content thru VICE !

Awesome! Brings back so many skating memories! Gotta love skateboard culture, even if some parts are a little destructive, it is what it is and hopefully more amazing positives keep arising out of skateboarding, like andrew, and ryan sheckz, Yeeew 🙏
i cried almost the whole time watching this video... im buying a fuckin new skateboard today - inspired and mesmerized by the nostalgia - brings back so many memories - and to see him in recovery and being a good dad gettin clowned on by his kid - lol - that was hilarious when he showed that fools scalp picture - lmao - THATS 1 FOR ALL DADS OUT THERE - lol - got em!
I love how you can tell how old the footage is based off of how young Kader looks
Andrew Reynolds part in The End was one of the first video parts i ever saw back around summer of 1999. needles to say, that's what turned me out and got me hooked. kind of crazy to think about the culture shift in skateboarding at the time. money was starting to come in more but it wasn't quite where it's at now. what an awesome time.
Such a sick dude and amazing human. Frontside Flips for life. Grateful to have watched his skating over the years and know what an incredible person is underneath the ability.
Skaters, the unknown heroes.
Culture, true freedom.
This definitely made me think about life more
Respect to Andrew for acknowledging that his frontside 180’s are his reason. That ‘butt down’ on the landing is super unique too though.
More content like this Vice! Less ads though, but fr this is my kinda doc! Didn’t want it to end
