  • Visiting Venice's landmark spots, Andy links his inspirations from Natas to TA and Rodney, with a freestyle session to boot. Why the helmet? It's in there too.

    I love that with Andy, skating is so much more than being able to do the hardest trick, impress people or win contests to prove how great he is. Its purely his love for the board, the history and how you can express yourself personally that made him ride and keeps him riding. So badass man, a true free spirit. Can't respect that enough

    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

    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
