Working on Crazy Wisdom with Andy has been one of the high lights of my career. Andy had faith in me to film the project with my phone when no one else would have. Benny Zenga edited it together beautifully. Thanks to George & Stacy & everyone at Powell Peralta. 🐉🐉🐉
Seeing the B-Roll in the credits if it being a phone kinda blew my mind. This should be a reminder to everyone, it doesn’t matter what you have, it’s how you use it.
@@mouman The video quality could have been a lot better. I don't know if it was the rendering or encoding but you can see how much bitrate is missing. If you are using an iphone to shoot you have to keep things totally uncompressed until the final render. The skill with the phone is top tier from Nigel, but the technical of the video encoding is way off.
@@Jdkieddj yeah the video quality sucked. it was like some clips were filmed with a potato and others were fine. prime example is the pyramid ledges clip looks 480p and the clip immediately after is in perfect hd. there's a bit too much b-roll and and bails too. if they cut it down to around 6 minutes and made a few changes editing wise i think this would've been a fantastic part.
Come on, stop it, Andy is amazing, but he’s no Mullen. he didn’t create most of the flip tricks. Can’t he just be his own Skater why do people always need to compare or have some equivalency between skaters.
There will never be another Mullen. Taking nothing away from Andy or this part Mullen fundamentally redefined what was possible on a board in a way we will likely never see again. Mullen said let there be light as far as street skating is concerned.
@princequestly2218 I think you're completely missing the point bud. It's about inspiration to think outside of the norm. Yes Mullen invented or inspired pretty much all of today's common tricks. Skating changed forever because of him. The gnarlyness continues to go up but the creativity has definitely plateaued. Andy is far from the norm. I agree you can't compare him to Mullen based on trick invention but you can on creativity. The industry needs him and I'm glad he's around.
Fuck you Powell peralta, you dare to make a pro model Flight for Andy Anderson, you make 3 different models and on top of that you dare to make "non flight" copies that you don't advertise anywhere and that are literally identical and sold at the same price, it's literally a scam and it's shameful for a brand that's supposed to be the essence of skateboarding. You're a disgrace and you've ripped off a lot of people who thought they were buying an andy anderson carbon fiber/glass board that was more resistant, when all you did was remove the tiny 5cm "flight" mention on the board without saying so clearly. Bunch of bastards.
@@johnhilton7048 They sell Andy Anderson Flight boards and create exact replicas of them, minus the small (and transparent) Flight logo, which are sold at the same price without specifying that they are not Flight boards.

It was nothing really. The wait was a bit sketchy, and I wasn't sure what I was in for hopping into the ABD interviews.. but once the video aired, the rest was a blackout moment.
Bro everyone's gonna hate this comment but this dude is just playing it safe. He literally puts some shit on the rail so he doesn't go too fast. It's obvious he's trying to make his skating look like he's some crazy gnarly tech but really he's just playing it safe. I used to kinda skate like this: go real slow and tey tricks that looked gnarly bit weren't. It's line skateboarding is in some weird safe space where we won't call out people for being kooks
When you hear him talk with the passion and new ideas and breaking it down scientifically… he is one of a kind..pure soul… I’m 45 and skated my whole life.. Powell peralta was always my boards.. I love the fact he rides for them…Andy and isamu Yamamoto are the best skaters today..
any tricks you see worthy of soty? i see a lot...sadly, SOTY is biased as hell, he used ramps and something to help him do that insane hand rail. skateer could land a trick that cures world hunger and hate on it cause it was a modified spot.
i feel the same man, 48 here. I feel i am watching history being written right here with this guy. He's gonna become a true legend (or maybe he already is)

Best skate part of the last three decades. It's every crazy thing we did in Tony Hawk's games, dreamed about doing in real life, and finally being pulled off by this new legend.
I hope you drop a b-roll of this so people can see how many times you landed a lot these tricks. Also i think that chain boardslide will never get the appreciation it deserves but im so hyped its the ender because you did a boardslide...a freaking boardslide no one else would have seen, much less be able to do.
you need to have a talk with andy's filmer. some of these clips were filmed with a potato. it's unacceptable for a modern part to be filmed this poorly. the editing with endless b-roll and bails is terrible too. wasted some actual good tricks in this.
We love you Dan. The real ones will take this whole video and appreciate every last second. At least I do. And same thing with your videos. I can’t get enough of you guys! Y’all rock! 💯❤️🤘🏼
If you say style you can compare Hosoi vs Hawk days. I don’t disagree Anthony hasn’t the style or flow other skaters have. But who said technical tricks at heart depict style? They are technical trick and thus demonstrate the intricacies of the performer and trick alike not a depiction of style.
@@magaan4717 that's a pretty good way to sum it up 👍 there was a "Love letters" by Jeff Grosso talking about style if you haven't seen it yet check it out and yes Hosoi had/has style so does Mark Gonzales and so does Jaime Mateu and whoever you like
The criticism of him being "more of a technician" is ironic considering that is precisely what all the early haters said of both Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen -- that they were both too "technical"
So unbelievably proud of you Andy! You beyond killed this part and people can really see how you put your heart and soul on display! Show the world who you are because you are amazing!!! 🖤🖤🖤
I shed a tear thinking about what this will do for a an enitre generation just like what Rodney did before him. I'd been thinking for a while that skateboarding has stagnated, but Andy is breathing new life into the sport. This thing that we love so much is being taken care of so well by people like Andy and pushing it further all the time. Not just another kickflip down a set of stairs, this is what skating is, innovation and creativity! I'm with you dude, this is inspiring and so wholesome to see.
What a part. Watching this made me think of the Bones Brigade videos from the late 80’s. It felt more like an expression of emotion and creativity than skateboarding - think Ray Barbee in Ban This. That Andy is signed with Powell, the spiritual home of contemporary skateboarding, is a beautiful irony.
Haven’t watched anything skateboarding for 10+ years and this is the dude who brought me back. Since seeing him on Hawk vs Wolf I’m a huge fan of this man. So authentically himself.
Yeah, the way he sees different potentials in the spots is awesome … and this ability is what makes skateboarding progress eg Gonz seeing a handrail as something to grind.
I don’t think skateboarding is a sport. It’s so objective. In my opinion a boardslide with good style is better than a switch tre with sloppy style. Skateboarding is an Art more than a sport.
andy skating makes me feel so motivated not even just to skate but to be my own person and not out listen to what others have to say, Thank you for all you do andy ❤❤

"At the end of the day you are who you are, they either accept you or they don't, but if you change you are not you anymore and you are just what they were willing to accept." Andy Anderson That's just legit wisdom...
So Andy can push on a handrail... Anything else bud??? My mind is already blown! You are taking skateboarding to the next level. This is outstanding. Love you and love your style - Keep it real though dude. Don't let the accolades or hate infect or affect you. Stay levelled and focused. Stay true to yourself. The love I am giving you or the hate other people give you means nothing. Be yourself and don't change. Don't be affected by other people's determination of you. You are you and don't ever change that. Wow though dude. What a video. Holy balls!!!
its weird though how in interviews andy has pretty much never mentioned rodney. he mentions all types of dudes but never rodney. i'm not sure why that is exactly. maybe because he wants to shine light on dudes lesser known. i also find it strange how rodney doesn't have much of a connection with him even though hes this generations rodney. i don't really get it
Same here, I kept drawing comparisons to mullens parts on plan b except Andy is way gnarlier with the pools and rails and 1/2 pipes what an absolute beast
I'm 38 and been out of the loop for a few years. I randomly came across this kid a few months back and was hooked. Made my wife watch it lol. Debatable that he is or is up there with the greatest ever. He has another Powell video that is absolute greatness also
I love that he doesn’t let the culture around skateboarding dictate to him who he has to be as a skater. Not caring about that peer pressure is the essence of skateboarding and rock n roll.
Completely agree, I admit I used to write him off as a bit gimmicky and never gave him his flowers, but his skill/passion/ creativity on a board just shines through and is undeniable, I really appreciate his place in skateboarding
Ironic how much groupthink exists in skating culture that's supposed be about free expression. It's the loudest, dumbest voices that often get the most attention.
@@uncomfortableshirt it may be overblown, but there definitely is a group think mentality with SOME skaters. Like putting certain maneuvers/tricks into the "lame" category. Or calling things gimmicky or not "legit" to be considered "true" skating. Gatekeepers are real and I've seen them at skateparks. Total boring vibe honestly. But I don't think they represent all skaters.
@@ErikWithBrain well, no.. It isn’t group think it’s just that some tricks are styles are associated with antiquity but there are certain things that aren’t necessarily “bad” in that regard. You have any entire comment section and multiple websites and other pros PRAISING Andy for this part and things he’s done in the past.. So obviously the status quo isn’t a direct opposition to what he’s doing if he gets so much praise for what he does lmao.
You ever see something and know it's special the first time you watch it? That was this for me. I think this part is going to be remembered for a long, long time.
This Guy is just casually reinventing skateboarding on his own. Helmet on, shredding street, flat, ramps like no one else. Get him to the olympics and he would probably win easily. But he doesn't care, je just does what he wants... I don't skate but you can tell that everything he does is difficult yet done so effortlessly... Amazing video... 😮
@@therealskatedad It seems that, yes, he is acknowledging the inventor of every trick he did in his part. Such a thoughtful and cool thing to do. And you can tell by the obscure names on there, Andy does a LOT of research
I think one of the reasons Andy has made it so far in the 'skating world' comes from how knowledgeable he is, he could write books, if there was an equally talented modern skater that [for example] sneered at Lords of Dogtown; I'd immediately dismiss or even dislike them 😒 Andy actually celebrates in this part with a no pop Ollie grab...... thing ✊😇🫒
Love him or hate for his style or the fact he wear a helmet riding street, no can deny the overwhelming talent this guy has in multiple genres of skating and his creativity. Loving the way he approaches skateboarding and after seeing him on the Hawk vs Wolf podcast, getting to see how this dude thinks about it and his overall persona is exactly what skateboarding needs. Great video, insane tricks. I cant wait to see the impact this guy will make for the future of the sport
Andy Anderson is just the definition of "one of a kind" in every way. Helmet? Lacesaved shoes? Skate style? creativity? board control? mindset? HE HAS IT ALL. Lets go, Andy!
Wow. I have chills knowing I’m watching the future of skating unfolding here. True artistry. Thankful for Andy and all the contributors here providing this to the world.
Andy is all terrain. Park, street, vert, rails, contest and freestyle. Most unique and versatile skater there is. Name one other skater who skate like him.
@@GrumpyWolfman I don't agree he is redefining skateboarding. I think he is taking all the history and skill and showing us the past and what we can do with it. He is a historian that is allowing us to define ourselves with no judgement. Fun is number one, and the pioneers gave us all the tools to be amazing.
@ianlawless7481 while I agree with what you said, isn't what all you just outlined exactly how he is redefining skateboarding? Dude could shred rails but decides to hop off rocks. Just have fun, be safe, ect. A redefinition from the thrasher days. Historian, 100%. Being older I can appreciate seeing the eras pass through his style. But I feel we are kinda watching some skate history in motion also
Andy is beyond next level. His skating looks like he’s in a dream, defying physics on a skateboard. His attitude and vibe is beautiful. And he wears a helmet… which is a fantastic example to set to the kids.
exactly, it literally feels like i am a young kid again finding YEAH RIGHT! and the Sorry Films for the first time and falling in love with the creativity to skateboarding
It's like he's a super mutant that can absorb or tap into the skill/style/power of all the legendary masters and the godfather all at once and combine everything into a magical spell of performance. Flow like? Huh?
as a 30 year old who thought skateboarding was killed by corporate greed...thank you andy for breathing fresh life into this sport for a new generation to have something that they can hold on to and do even if they dont have friends or the best home life. skateboarding saved my life along with many others and your doing an amazing job of showing a new generation what skateboarding is about.
I will admit that I never really thought that much of Andy Anderson 5+ years ago. To be completely honest I judged him for his style and trick selection. I thought to myself that he was just too different to make it anywhere significant and that the skate industry would continue to pass by him with little to no recognition. I was wrong. Over the course of time I’ve learned to judge others less because I know that I don’t like to be judged. It’s not the way. I’ve learned that creativity is one of the most vital aspects of being a human. Watching Andy skate is witnessing the essence of love and creativity. He oozes passion. There will only ever be ONE Andy Anderson. I’m sorry that I judged you, Andy. You’re possibly the most creative skateboarder on the planet and not to mention the things you’re doing are unimaginably difficult, and you’re the only one who can imagine doing them. That right there is the source of creativity. I’m not who I used to be, as most of us aren’t. I’m happy that I can appreciate Andy’s talent and discontinue judging what I don’t understand.
Andy inspired me to learn how to skate for the first time as an adult. He made it look easy and fun. And while it sure isn’t easy at all, it is just as fun as he made it out to be. Sensational part, Andy.
What can I even say that hasn't already been said a million times? I was so moved by this. It's incredible to see someone excel at something they are so passionate about because they put in the hard work to achieve their goals. It's even cooler to see such a humble, kind, down to earth person doing it. Favorite skater...hands down.
Andy and Nigel are such a good team man... I found NkaVids not too long ago and have been binge watching it all the time, love the content and stories that come with it, along this awesome edit🤟🤟
I’m in my mid 40’s, I skated in the 80’s(mainly vert), I stopped in the late 90’s because all of my friends quit. I always kind of followed the sport as a fan. Anyways, nobody I know skates right now… & I just bought an Andy Anderson complete setup a few weeks ago after watching his vids. He’s inspiring the way Mountain was, even though his skill is unattainable, his attitude and love for the craft is infectious and it bleeds through the screen.
@@DazedCutty Hopefully I don’t kill myself. I might steer clear of flip tricks for the time being. I rolled a few ankles in my 20’s, I can’t imagine doing that now and having to work the next day. I’ll ease myself into it.

its weird though how in interviews andy has pretty much never mentioned rodney. he mentions all types of dudes but never rodney. i'm not sure why that is exactly. maybe because he wants to shine light on dudes lesser known. i also find it strange how rodney doesn't have much of a connection with him even though hes this generations rodney. i don't really get it
love the music...skate vids have introduced me to some of my favorite tunes over the years
I don't watch or care about skateboarding. But I watch Andy, man is gifted
Authentic Andy Anderson,
Wow, Silence!!! Amazing! Great videoing to the camera guy.
He gave props to the construction workers who built the shit he's skating on... what a legend
bro really skate the streets with helmet and vert without knee pads, what a legend lmao, u da goat andy
That's a funny observation.
I’m almost 50 years old, and that’s the most beautiful skateboarding I’ve ever seen in my life. The style is unreal.
Same here, I kept drawing comparisons to mullens parts on plan b except Andy is way gnarlier with the pools and rails and 1/2 pipes what an absolute beast
Totally!!!!@@tolstoyleo
I'm 38 and been out of the loop for a few years. I randomly came across this kid a few months back and was hooked. Made my wife watch it lol. Debatable that he is or is up there with the greatest ever.
He has another Powell video that is absolute greatness also
same here 🔥
Instantly in my all time top 5 best skate videos.
I love that he doesn’t let the culture around skateboarding dictate to him who he has to be as a skater. Not caring about that peer pressure is the essence of skateboarding and rock n roll.
Completely agree, I admit I used to write him off as a bit gimmicky and never gave him his flowers, but his skill/passion/ creativity on a board just shines through and is undeniable, I really appreciate his place in skateboarding
Ironic how much groupthink exists in skating culture that's supposed be about free expression. It's the loudest, dumbest voices that often get the most attention.
Tf is this comment? 😂 The “culture” doesn’t dictate anything to anybody.
@@uncomfortableshirt it may be overblown, but there definitely is a group think mentality with SOME skaters. Like putting certain maneuvers/tricks into the "lame" category. Or calling things gimmicky or not "legit" to be considered "true" skating. Gatekeepers are real and I've seen them at skateparks. Total boring vibe honestly. But I don't think they represent all skaters.
@@ErikWithBrain well, no.. It isn’t group think it’s just that some tricks are styles are associated with antiquity but there are certain things that aren’t necessarily “bad” in that regard. You have any entire comment section and multiple websites and other pros PRAISING Andy for this part and things he’s done in the past.. So obviously the status quo isn’t a direct opposition to what he’s doing if he gets so much praise for what he does lmao.
The one and only AA! Great work Andy and crew.
Thank you for your support through this whole thing :):):)
A chronological order of trick acknowledgment?! That’s a NBD. What a bad ass…
Im genuinely confused what is a trick acknowledgment supposed to mean
Trick names and those without just who done them in the spot In the past??
@@GT1981IL He missed ryan johnson then cuz he was the first one to land the fresno city hall rail
I took it as who's responsible for inventing the trick?
@@559 Like the Natas spin, Rodney mullens freestyle tricks on the little concrete circle at the beach etc. Atleast i think thats what he meant haha
You ever see something and know it's special the first time you watch it? That was this for me. I think this part is going to be remembered for a long, long time.
This Guy is just casually reinventing skateboarding on his own. Helmet on, shredding street, flat, ramps like no one else. Get him to the olympics and he would probably win easily. But he doesn't care, je just does what he wants... I don't skate but you can tell that everything he does is difficult yet done so effortlessly... Amazing video... 😮
I'm in tears, this is so good! Inspiring ♥♥😭😭
One of the best ever.
Iam 68 been surfing and skating over 60 years! I love this kid!
Trick acknowledgment in the credits is next level.
Saw that. Does each trick correspond to something already done by each of those skaters?
@@therealskatedad It seems that, yes, he is acknowledging the inventor of every trick he did in his part. Such a thoughtful and cool thing to do. And you can tell by the obscure names on there, Andy does a LOT of research
@@OM3N1R Several of those names are folks he grew up around in Canada.
I think one of the reasons Andy has made it so far in the 'skating world' comes from how knowledgeable he is, he could write books, if there was an equally talented modern skater that [for example] sneered at Lords of Dogtown; I'd immediately dismiss or even dislike them 😒 Andy actually celebrates in this part with a no pop Ollie grab...... thing ✊😇🫒
Andy is a once in a generation skater. Next to hawk and Mullen
We Adore Andy. Thanks for this fantastic vid!
Love him or hate for his style or the fact he wear a helmet riding street, no can deny the overwhelming talent this guy has in multiple genres of skating and his creativity. Loving the way he approaches skateboarding and after seeing him on the Hawk vs Wolf podcast, getting to see how this dude thinks about it and his overall persona is exactly what skateboarding needs. Great video, insane tricks. I cant wait to see the impact this guy will make for the future of the sport
i've never seen someone make the board as happy as this guy does..... Legend.
That line at 2:51 might be the coolest line I have ever seen in my 20+ years in skating
Andy Anderson is just the definition of "one of a kind" in every way.
Helmet? Lacesaved shoes? Skate style? creativity? board control? mindset?
HE HAS IT ALL. Lets go, Andy!
Don’t forget the double watches
i respect my gy 30 years ag wearing a helmet on street now- everytime he bailed he hit his noggin hard
@@zparkourkidI didn't notice until your comment. Dude really double watches.
when he learns to skate switch he might become the ultimate all in one skater
Dont forget, Vert, Transition, skatepark , street, fire hydrant, snake rail, flower pots, chains hanging ....
Why did this make me feel like I was a kid again watching skating for the first time!
Man, you make me soo forgotten happy. Than you from deep inside that grumpy skater heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a blessing. ❤💀🛹🚀🎇
You did it, Andy. Never seen a part pay tribute to so much of skateboarding history while also being so unique. 1 of 1. Keep pushing 🙏
Andy skates like a Tony Hawk game, where if you keep a combo going after the 2 minutes are up you can keep skating.
Modern day Rodney Mullen. Andy you are so special, unique and important for skateboarding. That was truly incredible.
Wow. I have chills knowing I’m watching the future of skating unfolding here. True artistry. Thankful for Andy and all the contributors here providing this to the world.
DARKSLIDE TO 5-0 IS GNARLY
Nbd and now darkslide combos are possible
Absolute wow, Andy enters the ultra small pantheon of skaters who do things that don't seem physically possible. Rodney, Daewon, Andy.
Word!!!
You can tell by his hugs, how genuine and caring he is. Everyone should get hugged the way Andy Anderson hugs his friends.
I haven't seen a full length part in a very long time but Andy Anderson is bringing something so fresh and nice. What a beast.
Andy is all terrain. Park, street, vert, rails, contest and freestyle.
Most unique and versatile skater there is.
Name one other skater who skate like him.
Rocks stumps hydrants roofs ropes grass
@@SunriseSocialClub traffic barriers, bendy rails.
I don't think there's anything he can't skate.
yuto horigome, heitor da silva, grant taylor, oskar rozenberg, kader........ loads buddy
Pretty much every Japanese skateboarder.
@@oliverliburd1680this is a dog shit list, he said name someone that skates like Andy not skaters that are popular and good
one of those videos you spend the whole time shaking your head in disbelief
Literally made me feel like a little kid again watching my first skate videos! Andy Anderson is a magician
he's so insanely talented its crazy, but such a humble person
I just want to hug Andy once in life 😂😭guy is a legend and seems to be one of the most caring and genuine people ever
just smiles and good vibes for 12:21 straight
such a great part!
Donno💪 may be the first vid to ever make me cry!!!🙌 Good shit man!
Andy Anderson has been redefining skateboarding for years, glad to see he finally has a full part dedicated to it
He also has a part a few years ago that’s insane
@@GrumpyWolfman I don't agree he is redefining skateboarding. I think he is taking all the history and skill and showing us the past and what we can do with it. He is a historian that is allowing us to define ourselves with no judgement. Fun is number one, and the pioneers gave us all the tools to be amazing.
@ianlawless7481 while I agree with what you said, isn't what all you just outlined exactly how he is redefining skateboarding? Dude could shred rails but decides to hop off rocks. Just have fun, be safe, ect. A redefinition from the thrasher days. Historian, 100%. Being older I can appreciate seeing the eras pass through his style. But I feel we are kinda watching some skate history in motion also
Andy is beyond next level. His skating looks like he’s in a dream, defying physics on a skateboard. His attitude and vibe is beautiful. And he wears a helmet… which is a fantastic example to set to the kids.
SOTY!!
And he easily has 25 more years minimum to go, great success
He should be but the people at thrasher would never give him that because he dares to wear a helmet and doesn't fit in with their lameass gatekeeping.
Hands down
stop the cap
It's going to Tyshawn again obviously.
I’m not even into skateboarding and I’ve watched this video 7 times
This is one of those rare things. There’s nothing like this. This is one of the best skate videos I’ve ever seen.
exactly, it literally feels like i am a young kid again finding YEAH RIGHT! and the Sorry Films for the first time and falling in love with the creativity to skateboarding
It's like he's a super mutant that can absorb or tap into the skill/style/power of all the legendary masters and the godfather all at once and combine everything into a magical spell of performance. Flow like? Huh?
andy raised the standards of skill and creativity of skating with this video
Just curious, are u an AI? Kind of a generic sentence, just sayin.
@@destructionman1yes i am beep beep boop, wtf bro i am real , maybe ur AI?
as a 30 year old who thought skateboarding was killed by corporate greed...thank you andy for breathing fresh life into this sport for a new generation to have something that they can hold on to and do even if they dont have friends or the best home life. skateboarding saved my life along with many others and your doing an amazing job of showing a new generation what skateboarding is about.
That was amazing. I will forever remember this film and journey you are on Andy. Thank you for all the dedication and love of skating.
Andy Anderson is one of the most refreshing and best things that could have happened to skateboarding. He is the essence of what skateboarding is.
I will admit that I never really thought that much of Andy Anderson 5+ years ago. To be completely honest I judged him for his style and trick selection. I thought to myself that he was just too different to make it anywhere significant and that the skate industry would continue to pass by him with little to no recognition.
I was wrong.
Over the course of time I’ve learned to judge others less because I know that I don’t like to be judged. It’s not the way. I’ve learned that creativity is one of the most vital aspects of being a human. Watching Andy skate is witnessing the essence of love and creativity. He oozes passion. There will only ever be ONE Andy Anderson. I’m sorry that I judged you, Andy. You’re possibly the most creative skateboarder on the planet and not to mention the things you’re doing are unimaginably difficult, and you’re the only one who can imagine doing them. That right there is the source of creativity. I’m not who I used to be, as most of us aren’t. I’m happy that I can appreciate Andy’s talent and discontinue judging what I don’t understand.
Heart melter of a comment man… Thank You So Much
Love this so much! Seeing people march to their own drummer and show passion in their own unique way is the essence of skateboarding.
You win the internet for that comment!
Big ups for you for growing bro.
Easily one of the greatest skaters to ever live. His trick selection is infinite and his style is limitless.
I’m just gonna say it guys. Andy IS skateboarding. He’s the new Rodney. He’s the new Tony. He’s like a Greek god. Not THE God but a god.
This is the kind of skating we always believed in but also could never quite imagine.
Andy inspired me to learn how to skate for the first time as an adult. He made it look easy and fun. And while it sure isn’t easy at all, it is just as fun as he made it out to be.
Sensational part, Andy.
I'm in my 50s and Andy has me excited about skating again.
You are skateboarding Andy. I haven' t skated since the early 90 s and you ve transported me back 35 years. You ve given me skating joy again.
This is just insane. Started skating for the first time because of this
This evoked the feeling of watching the tapes on THPS when I was a kid. Pure joyous confusion.
What can I even say that hasn't already been said a million times? I was so moved by this. It's incredible to see someone excel at something they are so passionate about because they put in the hard work to achieve their goals. It's even cooler to see such a humble, kind, down to earth person doing it. Favorite skater...hands down.
Best part in the last 10 years. ❤️
Andy and Nigel are such a good team man... I found NkaVids not too long ago and have been binge watching it all the time, love the content and stories that come with it, along this awesome edit🤟🤟
I don't think I've been so hyped on a part in a long time.Nigel's laugh at the end of crazy lines is just super wholesome too.
Well done Andy & NKA 👏👏 This has got to be the most versatile skate part ever made 👏👏
I’m in my mid 40’s, I skated in the 80’s(mainly vert), I stopped in the late 90’s because all of my friends quit. I always kind of followed the sport as a fan. Anyways, nobody I know skates right now… & I just bought an Andy Anderson complete setup a few weeks ago after watching his vids. He’s inspiring the way Mountain was, even though his skill is unattainable, his attitude and love for the craft is infectious and it bleeds through the screen.
You quit right when the golden era of skateboarding began. Such a shame. Glad you got back on a board! I’m about to turn 40 and still skate.
@@DazedCutty Hopefully I don’t kill myself. I might steer clear of flip tricks for the time being. I rolled a few ankles in my 20’s, I can’t imagine doing that now and having to work the next day. I’ll ease myself into it.
