      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.

    Andy is the realest. I skated through the 80s and 90s all the way til now and didn’t wear a helmet cuz it wasn’t cool. I had 2 really bad head injuries skating in my early 30s and started wearing a helmet. My sons 6 and ripping and he loves Andy and it def helps him feel better about me making him wear a helmet cuz Andy is his favorite. Andy is the best vibe in skating right now.

      I have never worn one either, i just turned 30 but mostly skate curbs and walls and some transition nothing crazy, however i feel i need to start wearing one. Its just the fact i find them distracting and uncomfy like im a baby with a big head that struggles to support it. I stopped caring what people thought awhile ago. If i could find comfy light one i would start wearing it

    Sweet. Glad to see Andy videos. I have his second to last flight deck, the football one, and I absolutely love it. I got that lighter deck and the hollow titanium Indys, I need all the help I can get as an older dude relearning Ollie tricks

    An old soul skater. I love that he draws on all the awesome stuff from pre-90's skating and blends different disciplines fluidly and has such an obvious love for skating's history and nuances. He's vastly more individual and fun to watch than most skaters. And kudos for being wise and wearing a helmet and not letting all the adolescent ignorant naysayers get him down.

    51 now loved the bones brigade back in the 80's. And seeing Andy and the Powell team skate makes me know skating will never die. Andy is great for all of the new skaters to look up to like we did with hosoi, Lance mountain, hawk,cabalerro and all of the rest of the great ones especially Rodney Mullen when he started street skating.

      People just want everybody to be the same. This is especially depressing in skateboarding, when nothing should be defined - how you should look, how you should skate, etc, yet everything is.

    6:42 "it's a sign that you're being so dangerous that you need to protect something" this is exactly how I view helmets, I felt this first when I had a helmet on in McDonald's a few months ago after a blading sesh and realized I probably look funny, but inside I felt rad and proud of wearing it cus I knew I genuinely needed it when I was attempting fly out flips earlier
