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.
@@lefty9419 the first match was awesome. but SKATE game is a small part of skateboarding and tbh, its kinda lame "yeah, flat ground tricks without considering freestyle at all? THATS JUST BS imo"
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'm 28 years old and i've thought of wearing a helmet but it just looks so goofy and then the credibility factor. props to you and your son for wearing one. maybe someday i'll grow a pair.
@@bear458ziif-slol. Grow up. Part of the reason Andy wore a helmet b/c others said he couldn't go pro wearing one. He said "fuck that" and set an example for kids and adults alike. Most importantly kids. But yeah dude grow up wear one ifu need one
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
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
This was a great video. No music. Just the sounds of the skateboard. Wheels on pavement, the harsh grinding sounds on the wood and trucks and the constant stream of conciousness of Andy was refreshing. Just straightforward skating without all the same ol' same ol' tired routine! Great cinematography, too. 👏
I didnt notice until you pointed it out! no wonder I could 'get in the zone' throughout the whole video without distraction. everything is so raw! so andy!
I'm on the Andy rabbit hole right now. Dude is just such a incredible skater...but even better dude. Just a unique person who happens to absolutely destroy on the board. This video is so good
Andy Anderson is one of the most captivating skaters to watch. It's like the skateboard is an extension of himself and he's just vibing and flowing. Sooo good, so fluid. I can't get enough.
It’s funny that the guy with the absolute most board control wears a helmet. I love it. I can’t imagine it being “cool” to hit your head not wearing a helmet and eat pudding for the rest of your life over a three stair lol
ikr rrminds me of how I always thought it was ironic that Rodney Mullen in his early videos would always wear a helmet and full pads when he had better board control than anyone
An Andy video is a beautiful thing. This dude just makes skating seem fun, and he’s one of the reasons I started now as an adult. Keeping doing your thing, &&. Excited to follow along for the ride.
It’s impossible to hit pause or stop watching any of his parts for me. It’s like, he invited you to the session and is stoked you’re there with him. Cool vibes everywhere
I use to think this dude was going to faze out CAs the whole helmet issue, but I’m so glad to say that Andy is here to stay! The skate industry needs a role model like Andy that’s awesome man hopefully helmets become more acceptable in skateboarding congrats on earning legend status Andy you’ve earned it, the amount of all around love you have is infectious
Legend at doing the same shit over and over again this dude skates these spots all day everyday lol just watch a Dan corrigan vid he sucks Andy pee pee 24/7 this dude acts like he is changing skateboarding when in reality it’s just cringe hahah
Thing about Andy that's admirable it's being freaking genuine. Be genuine folks. We don't have to replicate rules that shouldn't be enforced or have no reason at all. Every person is truly one of a kind
A true legend right there. Noone has this style. the way he mixes freestyle into street skating and does it all out of pure joy and experimental fun is just so awesome to watch. Thank you ANDY
I think I've watched just about every vid with Andy in it lately, cant get enough of his attitude toward skating its just so electric and fun. Also I have a 6 year old and its rad to see him commenting on how cool Andy's helmet is. A true role model that skateboarding has needed for a long time.
Been following Andy for longer than I can even remember now. He's so down-to-earth, true to himself and one of the most enjoyable to watch skaters out there. Immensely talented and a wonderful soul too. Huge fan.
Andy IS the skater this generation needs. Puhsing skaing forwward not only with his skills and creativity, but his philosophy also. Much respect. Love him.
I love these comments, was kinda expecting a lot of hate tbh, based on what I see from the general public most the time about Andy. Great to see Andy on Thrasher
nomination for comment of the month- -exactly! • if there was a hoodie that said "trying too hard to be hard" on one side and "overthinking it" on the other, i'd get one lol- oooh and a step further would be black ink on black fabric. haha
always makes me feel good to see a good ol melon protector. yes it's for safety but what he said about protecting thought processes and memories is huge. memories especially
How cN you not love this guy. Dude is so likeable it's insane. You can just see and feel his passion for skateboarding. He truly loves skateboard and appreciates all different aspects of it. Which is definitely refreshing.
He’s actually sick. I’ll admit I thought it was a gimmick at first but I have more respect for him now because he is obviously genuine and not attention seeking as well as being a gifted skater.
No doubt, I had to do a double take when I seen that Thrasher posted this lol. And it was filmed and edited by Gregson, his opponent in mano a mano. Very cool to see🤙
Andy is someone who truly deserves all of the recognition in the world. Such a talented and kind person, truly a role model for anyone. Whether you skate or not you can learn from him.
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.
Lmao you’re riding this dudes meat so bad it’s embarrassing 😂😂😂😂😂 this dudes free styling is MID😂 the only OG to do it is Rodney Mullen and that’s how it’s gonna stay 😂😂 I swear this wave of skating ain’t it, lowering the standard of what should be on thrasher 😂😂
I love that andy is such a ripper, and such a nice person, that you can't even hate on him. He should be in soty conversations every year because nobodies doing what he's doing the way he's doing it.
This guys style is amazing and the fact he wears a helmet is even cool imo people dont understand how fast things can go wrong even if you are the best of the best. Respect to this guy!
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
I love Andy's vibe so much. Skating Natas Kaupus's old spots and doing Natas spins around the corner from his house. Like in the old Santa Cruz videos from the 80's. Superb for an old skater like me.🤟🤪
As someone that doesn’t wear a helmet, I respect his reasoning for wearing one. And honestly, no mom is gonna have a hard time supporting the one guy in skateboarding who religiously wears a helmet.
When I started watching this I felt a THPS vibe and then Andy started talking about secret tapes of Rodney and Rodney in general made my day. I remember playing in early 2000s coming back home from school and playing it for days. Good memories. Andy, you're a great guy, never change. And thank you very much for your words on wearing a helmet. Bless you.
Andy he is in an absolute different level in many things. Actual legend at his age, one of the most recognisable skaters out there, and also pushing the limits of a few skateboard dogmas. Genius.
“Being the same person the next day… or at least having the illusion that you are.” - I love this. Be humble. Wear a helmet. Skate like Andy. Guy rips as a philosopher and a skater. True artist.
Chris Gregson sure lets the talented Andy shine as he reminds us all to adapt to perceived limitations and forge our each own style with inspiration from others!
Nowadays we miss real originality in skateboarding. Everybody does these same tricks, as they become trendy for a year or two. Andy is one of few pros, who just does his thing and doesnt go with the common flow. I appreciate that
The end is so legendary. Don’t ever change Andy
It's fucking crazy because wearing a helmet is definitely a handicap!
Helmets are for people who don't want someone else to change their diapers

Until you watch him do a game of SKATE at the Berrics. Still a fan but was tough to watch
You must be under 18. Guys a kook
@@lefty9419 lol, most of the tricks he practices aren't berrics legal

Just beautiful ❤ I agree
Beautiful comment brotha. 👌🏼 FACTS.
It's refreshing how authentic Andy is. Makes his own rules, plays his own game.
Never realized how versatile Andy’s skating is. Thanks thrasher for the new perspective on this guy.
I'm on the Andy rabbit hole right now. Dude is just such a incredible skater...but even better dude. Just a unique person who happens to absolutely destroy on the board. This video is so good
Gregson as a vlog filmer is the thing i never knew i needed. The shot at the curbs with the bike is nuts. Andy and Gregson is a sick duo!
Best filmer out rn
FR i was trippin on that. Casual nose blunt pop out too
That was indeed an amazing shot.
Amazing shot
@@shreddednervesno doubt about it, he makes everything looks so good even bmx riders
I love how he randomly pivot up this 3 stairs at 06:35 That is why I love this guy. You can never guess what is coming next.
He did it so smooth too!!
It’s that foot work he talked about
ikr; most contest pros are robots; they have to be and I respect that. Andy is a true artist, like Rodney, Gonz, and Natas before him.
This skating is beautiful
not only does he do seemingly random things at times, he makes them look good at all times too
Andy Anderson is one of the most captivating skaters to watch. It's like the skateboard is an extension of himself and he's just vibing and flowing. Sooo good, so fluid. I can't get enough.
I love Andy. Making helmets cool single handedly
So crazy to me

Gregson's filming in this is incredible. We're so lucky to have him
The best by far
So many "wait, what?" and shaking my head at the incredible balance and board control. I could watch Andy flow spots all day.

This is what skating is all about right here - freeing the mind of all boundaries and hitting that flow state

I love these comments, was kinda expecting a lot of hate tbh, based on what I see from the general public most the time about Andy. Great to see Andy on Thrasher
As a skater if you dont enjoy his spirit/enthusiasm you are either trying to hard to be hard, or overthinking it.

Was lucky enough to see him skating Venice beach my first time visiting California recently - absolute shredder
Wow, this dude has a beautiful trick selection, could watch this all day.
Handy Andy. Always backed this dude even when some ouks were hating on him. Much respect and love dude. J. Durban South Africa
This is amazing, Andy is the best thing that happened to skateboarding in a very long time. Never be afraid to be yourself guys
He seems like he loves riding his skateboard so much it’s inspiring. He’s amazing
He and Evan have got the craziest style it looks like “lazy” almost because it’s so effortless but each movement and is so precise it’s mind blowing
This style of skating is timeless.
So freaking talented! This was so fun to watch.
Dude rides the world like a wave. Beautiful 🙏
Wow! AMAZING!!! this video embodies the feeling I chase that's had me skating for 30yrs. Creativity Rules!

"Cause it's my thing man". Legend!
Andy is but a mere vessel through which the skate force flows effortlessly!
Probably one of the coolest guys you can ever meet in person. Dude is quality all around.
Pure skating with ambient sounds allowing me to add whatever soundtrack I feel in that moment, love it ❤

to me andy is very fun to watch. he's captivating because you never know what's he's going to do next
What a rad and original dude! Definitely one of my favourite all time athletes!!
I almost feel sorry for people who don’t “get” him. In a sport defined by individuality, he is the most individual.
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.
i had no idea there were people who didnt get him. he's insane. plain and simple.

One of the purest skaters out there. Rodney's influence is hella evident - skating and philosophy

The way he explains about skateboarding & things about tricks is absolutely amazing. He is 1 of my favourite skaters in a very long time
I grew up with Andy and I can affirm that back in 2010 he was praising the Natas Spin constantly. Such a legend and nicest guy out there
It's a pleasure watching this man wrestle a skateboard.
