This dude has unlocked all the characters and finished all challenges and now he's just free-cruising and enjoying the game.
you took that from Johnny Geiger’s s street park from in the comments
YES!
wrong hes always been enjoying it, for him nothing really has changed
@@gamingtricks4288 welcome to the internet where nothing is ever original except andy fricking anderson
@@gamingtricks4288 no one is original anymore it seems
little known fact: Andy Anderson was raised by a wild pack of fire hydrants
Truth
@@authenticandyanderson I know we’re all supposed to be ourselves and be different but more skaters and people in general should try to be a lil more like you man. The way you handled that RUDE old man .. that’s how we should all handle those kind of people. But I bet that old guy STILL thought of you as some rude skater. I doubt he even picked up on your positivity or the way that you actually were defusing his horrible behavior. That dude BUGGED ME ! Yuck
Lmaoo
@@adamlangdon2245 Don't skip the credits. He made a friend of the old dude.
I may be paralyzed in a wheelchair, but I will always be a SK8R, stay positive 💥🎧♿️
This guy is just on another level. He's operating on a frequency that many will never or see or understand. I hope he influences billions of people over the course of his life.
he's living intensely!
He’s literally a living legend imo and if he ain’t yet he will be he’s got such a great mentality and he’s extremely skilled on some wood I say that cause he doesn’t have a traditional riding style he just rides lol
This might be one of the most important skate videos of a generation. It's gets lost in the noise. 30 years from now this video could be viewed on the same level as fuktařďs
he's a very talented skateboarder, and has decent intentions with regard to his understanding of reality, and the treatment of human beings while operating in his zone. however, he's a clueless hippie child. it is sad, frankly, to read your high marks of his 'frequency.' it's simple, childish fascination, without much thought. just little pieces of experience. he's not even done growing physically (his brain included). you need higher standards, and better influences.
@@cmtcfu or you need lower standards and the realization that absolute nothing matters. We all die, after that we kill our planet cause of climate change, after that the sun kills our planet, after that the universe dies. None of that leads anywhere, all things end. So why not at least be happy while I suffer through all the pain?
I tried being grown up for many years, made me depressed and anxious, I changed that mind set and I go with the flow. Now I'm happier, less stressed, more enjoyable to be around and can enjoy things that I like regardless of how they are perceived by others. Take your negativity and keep it to your self please, none of us want to have more than we already produce ourselves.
Andy is bringing the focus back to what skating is…flow, creativity, vibe. Skating has gotten so technical its lost to everyone but him
You must not know any real skaters.
I understand what you are saying ...the Zen-like aspect was there in the Beginning ....but was Lost for a while ..partly due to outside perception ..like Larry Clarks 'Kids' movie for example ...hopefully that aspect will return ...
I wouldn’t say it’s lost to anyone but him but he’s definitely one of the few who haven’t lost sight of it.
Just skate.
Everyone but him and Mullen*
dude is definitely chilling on a higher level of consciousness than 99.9% of people
I’m assuming you are aswell
@@colbyburque2648 Probably not, I'm usually more negative and not as open and creative, but I'd like to be more like him.
Grab some friends and hit a skatepark
If you mean hes autistic, then yea.

Absolute Legend
We got landyachtz in the comments ur guy’s dinghy is amazing
Did you know Braille had a custom deck of yours in a vid recently?
no u
Yeah This is true
Seriously is💯
Listening to Andy talk about waling his route and greeting objects and things really hit me hard. I've lived in the same town my entire 31 years on this planet and the other day I drove down the street in between the house I grew up in and my old elementary school. I walked that half mile stretch on the sidewalk twice a day from 2nd-6th grade...and countless times in between going to friends houses. The city had decided to tear out the entire sidewalk from that stretch, and make a new walking path for bikes and walkers. For some reason it really tore me up initially, I didn't know why. I guess just those memories of the cracks in the sidewalk, and different things along the road that I always day dreamed about walking that route.
I was teary eyed for a minute or so, before I realized that now there is a new path for some other kid to talk along and enjoy like I did. I have always struggled with getting older, but change happens and it reminds me to go with the flow.
Cool story bro
Ah yes i know exactly what u mean
I’m the same way man. I wander my old routes just for the Nostalgia. It truly is my safe place. I go meditate in the field of my old middle school at night. It’s one of the only places my mind is at ease when I’m an adult outside of skating
best and worst part of getting older is change. take Andy's advice and instead of going down that same path that isn't the same anymore, turn walk in the opposite direction, find the new worlds
Your comment hit me hard man. Thank you..
This guy is on Mullens level in terms of how he sees and feels skateboarding. Legend in the making.
and gonz
Mullen is his teacher, they're good friends, i thought that was dope.
@@fernandomaron87 No he's not, Mullen spends most of his time alone and with his wife, like he always has. Andy studied all the greats and his teacher was Hippy Mike.
In the making? He's hands down the best to ever do it already.
@@mrrooster4876you obviously have no idea who Rodney Mullen is!!
9:52 I was like: "this doesn't seem like the type of dude to smash a skateboard in anger..."
Guess I was right.
Same
Right? That was so fucking dope. He had me there bro
So true. I almost got sad, and then nah
That was an amazing trick.
Best trick in the vid!
Andy Anderson is that guy who could win every game of SKATE by doing tricks that have no name and that you've never seen before, but instead he uses the game to teach you something new so that you can have even more fun whenever you go skating.
The dude that stops Andy and tells him how sick and humble he is totally took me by surprise and made me cry ffs. Beautiful film.
Bro .. I totally cried too .. man .. Andy is what we all should strive to be .. a true bringer of light to humanity ❤❤
At this point, I'm convinced that Andy Anderson is the only dude who's found Chin and lived.
That backwards push got me feeling some type of way
Same, I had to play it again at quarter speed and then rushed to my skateboard to test out the mechanics. Definitely gonna start practicing this
ditto
@@geologick same
😂
I came looking for this comment, feeling the same
This kid inspired me to pick up skate boarding at 47 years old. Just turned 48. Can't skate like him at all, but damn is he an inspiration. Amazing.
The community welcomes you, brother.
@@fr0styy202 thank you!!
I will go skate tomorrow after a long long brake. This just gave skateboarding a whole new meaning for me now.
Club '73. I'm in! And my nearly 30 years old "El Gato" by H-Street is still rollin'.
Welcome a “board”
I am nearly 60 years old and thought this was the coolest skate video I've ever seen. I love Andy's attitude. I was a skater back in the mid 70's, wow things have changed! Andy has me smiling from ear to ear.
Always come back and watch this for a “reset” Andy not only looks at skateboarding in a beautiful way.. but life in general.
Just riffing through life.
He isn’t just a great ambassador for skateboarding but for the human race.
Very inspiring person.
"It's one thing to discover it, another thing to do it and it's another thing to make it beautiful." Surprisingly, I needed to hear that.
He was saying that as I was reading this comment, beautiful
54 year old here who’s never skated. Saw this quote in comments before I watched movie. Had to find out in what context it was said. Was not disappointed. Outstanding movie and quote. I will commit this to memory and give Andy the credit whenever I use it! This kind of thinking can be applied to many aspects of our lives. Thank you young man
@@elijahharvey5861 crazy Me too
I read this as he said it
Best skate movie I’ve ever seen. Inspired for life 🌸
@@earthhuman5448 Oh man!! Are there synth dude skaters?!?! My grip art is a sawtooth wave!
hell yea! hows ur day been?
So rad seeing Cuckoo post on multiple sick skate vids. 😎👌👊🔥
Check out Jobs Never! By Jim greco, and let's forget you called this a film
TheIdontcare444 Yeah, that one is pretty cool, too.
"How many worlds are in your world?" is a great quote man frick
this is beautiful.
I used to skate in NYC all boroughs except the Bronx from 1976 till 1992, and now at age 59, seeing what Andy is doing here really makes me smile and is having a very positive impact on my life.
Thank you Andy, you've made an older man feel young again, even if it was just briefly.
This film needs to be watched by a lot more humans than just skateboarders
Great job!
At its heart, it’s about artistry.
I agree completely.
Nonskating human here - agreed
Second that!❤❤
I loooove the typical "I am so angry that I am throwing away my board" at 9:53 that you can see in every skate video, which turns into the most zen move ever !
well i never seen such a move
@@sdqsdq6274 based on the way the other guys reacted they had not either, that shit looked like a scene with a movie that has CGI
That was awsome i start imedely smiling never seen that before and have seen allmost evry things you can do with the board!awsome revese shall he name it i Hope
hell yeah !!!
Yeah. I had to rewatch that a handful of times. Awesome move!
Just got back into skating because of Andy, I feel like it helped me unlock my mind again. I got so caught up in corporate life that I forgot what it's like to just...be. A new world has been discovered and I'm so excited for this adventure that awaits. Thanks Andy!
This is literally one of the best skate films I have ever seen. Most skate films are just balls to the wall skaters shredding parks and vert and whatever without any real story or angle to the film. Andy is such a unique soul. Besides being one of the best street skaters on the planet, he's just a killer human being who's truly in touch with everything and everyone he comes into contact with. Just the fact that he wears his helmet to ride a sidewalk, rocks rib bones on his street deck, and doesn't conform to anything whatsoever deserves high praise from any who respect the art of skateboarding.
It almost feels like Andy doesn’t even know how good at skateboarding he is he’s just so genuine and genius and he’s in his own soul and he’s like just so comfortable and free that he can do anything
That can be you as well my friend🔯
It's not that he doesn't know, it's that he doesn't care.
@@cebax huh interesting 🧐
Big Rodney Mullen vibes
@@itsJoelSandoval Yup modern day Mullen for sure
This kid is skateboardings spirit animal.
@@antifascistskater your name micah mccullough you not allowed to have an opinion with that boring ass name
@@darsh7911 okay DaRsH
@@antifascistskater oh my god it’s spelled michah, how did your name get worse
Yeah, it's like skateboarding become a human and it's AA.
Skateboarding personified
16:09 My favourite moment. Andy handled that confrontation like an absolute god. Really inspiring interaction skills.
goes on at 24:16
and then it goes on at 24:60
I loved that part as well. Particularly how Andy expressed that he 'felt like he was being chewed out like an animal and he was trying to show up as a friend.'
that's such an ignorant way of viewing it. how "friendly" of him to skate someone's property without asking first. imagine you're chilling at your home and another skater just starts skating on your property and then says "i'm friendly" and says how you're "rude". so ironic.
I think it's more of the attitude my man. Its not that he was pissed he was being told he couldn't skate the sculpture, but that he was being treated rudely before just being asked politely to move on. Andy wasn't trying to break the sculpture or do any damage, just trying to have fun, and he was treated like a vandal before anything else. @@thatguy5233
@@thatguy5233 Nothing ignorant there. I don't know how he could've know that it was private property? It's on a street corner and no clear sign, no fence (but there was a fence behind it, separating it from the yard) or some such around it, how would you figure it's private? And that gramps was so rude from starters that I would've told him just to fuck off but Andy stayed polite and friendly.
Could not have chosen a better title for this film. I highly recommend watching "The Search for Animal Chin" and "Seen Him" back to back. Andy has certainly seen him. He has seen him in his mindset, in his skating, in the way he approaches things, etc. I like a lot about Andy's mindset-not everything-but a lot. He is bringing a breath of fresh air to skateboarding and demonstrating how to search for Animal Chin to a new generation. We can all learn something from him. My absolute favorite skater right now. Rock on Andy!🤘🏻
I respect the hell out of Andy Anderson. He is 100% without a doubt pure skateboarding. He went against the grain, dealt with all the hate and just kept pushing. Never stop what you're doing Andy.
He had alot of hate ?
@@memberofthesun3497 yeah, even skaters gave him shit when he first stepped in for being different. Then he got popular
Takes balls to do that I think fs!
the sun is shining.....in his hart.
“I live a block down” As that’s where the ambulance was parked 😂 Andy’s the best!!
This was filmed in his hometown so probably his parents place
@@miroshimura5154 Oh, my bad
Yeah that old dude was kinda a pos. That prob wasnt even private property, it looked like a general city sculpture
1st, Shout out to the Zenga Bros for producing an amazing video. They captured Andy very well.
2nd, Andy humbles me. The way he handled the disgruntled old man was inspiring. Andy didn't get sucked in to that mans world and stayed positive through that whole encounter. I will now approach tense situations with a different attitude based of this. Hold on to your joy.
3rd, He skates OK too.
Andy is such a spiritual being... Holy shit man... That's a true Gentle Soul as the other man called him. Humility and Love speak through him. A big thank you just for showing yourself to the world the way you are, Andy.
Man the way Andy talked to that old grumpy man was exactly how ball skaters should talk to security guards and etc. screaming and fighting does not make skaters look good and sometimes it can burn a spot. Hats off to you Andy!
Some people are just bitter when they see others enjoying life and having fun.... Andy handled the situation like a true Peaceful Warrior...
He just seems like skateboarding was out of his comfort zone, a lot of old people can be like that. Just be respectful, it helps.
Some people are just waiting to find a valid reason to unload their shit on someone else, it works both ways
@@hanktheblesseddeejay Its funny how accurate your response is. A bit down you could read "Zenga bros: Thanks for taking the time! It got me thinking about how we often compare things, putting one thing against another, and how we don't need to agree with everything someone says but how important it is to hear each other out. Like Andy says to the old guy in the video "I respect you opinion". You know what's crazy!?! A week after our shoot, Andy was skating down that same street, past the 'hole in the sky' sculpture and the old guy saw him again and called him over! He told Andy that he had looked him up online and was impressed. Then he apologized to Andy for coming down on him so hard. He explained that he had been agitated after seeing all the riots and destruction on the news. One more reason to turn off the news and take the time to interact with people face to face. Thanks again, that was cool how you shared your thought process. Feelin it."
If more people could have this approach towards respecting our fellow human beings, the world would be a better place for all. Respect
best part of this whole film for me was in the closing credits, where the pissed off old dude from earlier is actually hyped about being in the film. Andy's attitude towards the confrontation completely transformed that energy into something beautiful.
Andy handled that confrontation like a fricking god. Really incredibly dang perfect.
Ahah
Came looking for the "angry old man" comments, before I reached the end of credits.
Boss move, calm, excellent
Andy did what Andy does. He just wants everyone to be friends and get along. The new saying should be "What would Andy do?" (instead of "What would Jesus do?")
yeah anyone whose been kicked out, this is expert-level dealing with it.
Can we take a minute to appreciate the cinematography and the people who captured it in this epic video 👏👊
I just found this kid (I say kid because at my age im old enough to be his father) about a week ago. His "mantra" and vibe are so damn peaceful and tranquil. Seeing him ride and his entire way of doing what he does on 4 wheels is inspiring.
I'm starting to see why people speak so highly of Andy. An awesome dude. He has definitely found Chin. And he is helping the rest of us find him too.
What’s Chin
@@wolfgang5496 referencing the O.G. skate video, The search for Animal Chin, from the Powell Peralta team. It's a philosophical ideal of any skater searching for a oneness or completeness in skating. Animal Chin is the embodiment of that.
And Andy sure seems to have found him for himself.
Chin is from Powell Peralta Bones Brigade "The Search For Animal Chin" amazing and Andy definitely found it man
@@siltstrider6812 woah thats insightful, thanks dude
Stooooop
“Seems like a welcoming day”
Right after, he smacks into a tree
Not only does Andy inspire you to be a better skater, he inspires you to be a better human. Such an amazing part!
Him running into that tree SO hard always cracks me up. Its like that scene from Hot Rod.
That confrontation with the property owner was just too much. "I really wish you a good day sir, I really appreciate it!" I lost it. What a character!
And Andy eventually even gets him smiling and to even say he hopes he's in his movie. Andy is a gem of a human being, he inspires me beyond just his skating skills
When he says he wishes the guy would be polite about it the guy immediately begins to soften.
@@palbo4 Yeah such a great way to handle it and he's so young. I'd still probably just think 'Fuck that guy' but he's cool and mature enough to just turn it round.
@@tomada5681 he basically did in the end though haha.
Never in a million years would i expect to start tearing up during a skate film. This guy is so at peace. That man towards the end was so right about Andy. So glad I stumbled across this.
Totally cried too .. not going to lie lol
This guy seems like he's always in a good mood and so nice to everyone and honestly inspired me so much.
I will admit I dont treat people well and watching this video really made me open my eyes about how I am towards people. He's seems so outgoing and confident I love it and I really wanna be that way too. Thank you for this great video:)
Yeah, this movie short is way more than a skateboard video.
a light to others, thing about being a light, everything thing dark is illuminated. a sorrow not many experience, all the more reason to be a light.
It's good to reflective and self critical. Not many people are capable of that
I let my temper /prejudices get the best of me. This is a great example of how to just settle down. And change the course of things in the meantime. I might end leading a more interesting and relaxing and meaningful life.
Some of the most depressed people on earth can sometimes seem like the happiest around others!
Robin Williams is a prime example
19:30 is something that beyond every other beautiful thing is this video hit me so hard. There absolutely is a skill to relaxing and a skill to being at peace. I can’t express how far past skateboarding this video is. This is life at its core.
Calm down Ghandi
wow, that random dude shaking his hand and telling him he had a gentle soul and was raised right almost brought a tear to my eye... dang...
It did me lmao and this is the first Andy Anderson video I’ve seen and definitely won’t be the last.
I really felt that. And having struggled with myself and seeing how Andy is truly a gentle soul really inspired me. He brings so much light into peoples' lives. It's far beyond skateboarding.
I totally cried .. not gonna lie lol .. Andy.. man keep on keepin on ..
"Who's giving me these cues? And it doesn't matter, as long as you listen to them." 21:20 Dude's in touch with the universe.
Totally a vibe!
I don’t know man. I hope he’s not developing schizophrenia or something. At least we know it’s not from getting hit in the head.
@@DFunct905 i hope you can not be so close minded one day
@@hivizion it’s a joke bro.
@@hivizion as opposed to far-minded?
He is definitely in one beautifull mindset far wiser than the average thinker of our times...
Nothing compares to a Powell Peralta skate video. The Stacy legacy. Above all in video creativity and intellectual undertones.
Andy is the reason I picked up a skateboard again after 20 years of taking a break. He makes skating fun
I don't even skate but this was one of the most inspirational pieces of film i've ever seen. Andy is such light in this dark world, we should all strive to take his advice and try and see things the way he does. Rock on Andy, thanks for being you, from a total stranger.
Wow. A skate video never made me cry before now. Bravo!
Same just as I started to cry a little I seen this comment and it made me smile at the same time thanks I needed that
Andy is one with the board. You can feel his soul coming through it. Truly a free spirit. Changing skateboarding for the better
It should all be like this. Incredible film, thanks for making this!
😗👌
@Joey Maxon life
hello my favorite youtube drummer of all time what are you doing here
I told my kids to stop doing their homework for 20 minutes and made them watch this movie, their responses to it was epic. Totally inspired by your actions man...Thanks Andy for showing us what cool really looks like.
Good parenting ✌
Now get back toHOMEWORK!!😤
I only recently got into skating and discovered Andy through the Braille Skating TH-cam channel.
What a free spirited, gentle and humble kid.
The world would be a better place if it allowed more souls like him to bloom.
I'm truly humbled by his openness.
Wherever you may be today, merry Christmas Andy! :)
'Relaxing is taking control of yourself, and accepting that you're not controling anything else"
Yep. That's it.
The world needs more Andy Anderson's. What a humble dude. Was given the gift of life and isn't taking it for granted, such an intelligent dude.
@Twitchie and son's if I could find half the amount of peace that he has found...
@@keithbordeau4874 I'm with you mate!
I love Andy's vibe and his whole outlook on life. Very wise and mature. We need more like him in the world.
Thank you for stopping to say hello to us. Hope we run into you again someday. Thank you for inspiring us to LIVE FREE and SKATE HARD! Inlakesh!
Best skate movie ever. I mean it. Thanks, Andy, for the nice tricks and the wise words
Andy skates with the beauty we saw in it as kids and has expanded it into something entirely new
Thank you !
You put in words what I feel watching this movie. 🙏🏼
the way he dealt with that old man... what a class act. wow
boundless creativity and wisdom beyond his years
I will be going back to this video a lot of times. Life lessons here, I am at peace somehow.
Tourism White Rock could not have done a better job at promoting the city. What a wonderful movie! Andy is such a talented, kind person.
Yup! Hell of a lot more than that "The we own this The hole in the sky“-dude.. He was a hoot! What a tool...
haha I have never ever felt an urge to go to White Rock, but now I'm surprised to admit that I am a little curious. there's no way tourism white rock could've promoted their city as well as this!
Homeboy flows through the universe like no one else
more like the universe flows through him
Andy Anderson is an artist, plain and simple. Legend in his own time!
Omg this was SO good! Andy Anderson is such an amazing and luminous soul! So wise for his age and it is immensely beautiful! The filming was gorgeous as well and a perfect companion to Andy’s approach to life! These are the kinds of skating videos we need! Mike V. Once said something along the lines of.. someone will always come along and start making skateboarding about being technical and flawless but someone else will always bring it back to being about art and self expression and that’s what’s beautiful about skateboarding. Andy brings both to the table with the added bonus of just being a great human! Love this, love Andy!
"How many worlds are in your world?"
Such an inspiring line
Gtfo lol.
@@hofx666 I get the corniness but when you live the life you always wanted you’ll understand.
in a world .....with one line.......the sky is the limit....but if you think like the sun
you start talking.......UNIVERSAL.
" we should be carful going down this hill in the woods"
Andy: " i got a helmet man ima sprint"
Saw Andy on the Vice show with Rick McCrank and I've enjoyed watching him rip ever since
This is not a skate video. It’s a lesson on living. Astounding insight for such a young man.
I cried. Seriously. Such a good piece portraying the love I have of boarding and why. This kid is my mentor. I’ve been skating 40 years. He embodies it to the T
I cried too.
Me too, what a beautiful person
Me 2
Me 3
Me 4
Can we get a DNA test, he and Mullen must be sharing a bloodline..
Beautiful film... and +100 points for having Venetian Snares play..
I actually get much more of a Mark Gonzales vibe. Mullen seemed neurotic and ocd... Andy seems like the complete opposite of that. Him skating through the sidewalks near the end felt like Gonzales in Video Days... just flowing.
He is certainly not Rodney Mullen, but he is another great in the making.
@@burdphil I think people think of Rodney just because Andy does freestyle and his boardshape has very noticeable freestyle features, but I think you nailed it on the head with the Mark Gonzales comparison
If I remember correctly. I seem to remember him saying in several interviews that Kevin Harris was very influential to him and helped him with his freestyle game early on. Powell had several freestyle legends back in the day aside from Rodney. Kevin was one of them.
Rodney will do something cool and it's like whatever, Andy will do something cool and 30 minutes tells some hippie shiit :D :D
Being in such a world makes you feel a whole new world in you bro.
This video showed the reason why Andy is so awesome. The way he respects the world and everyone in it is awesome,
Love your spirit andy,couldn’t be more happy and honored to be laminating your skateboards
You are the best 👊
Jason you are the man !! Can’t believe I have such talent behind my boards
Skateboarding is lucky to have him.
One day there will be a movie about this amazing person. I like to think of people like him and Hendrix and Robin Williams as angels. The universe chose them to show the world how incredible we are and how incredible life can be. They channel their abilities through another dimension and it is clear to me.
Pause. 100’s of Andy videos in it’s always getting better. I loved the skating the wood platforms park and now this freestyle lifestyle living in the van and playing on toy skateboards and keyboards. This is how a skater should enjoy everyday. Even if you have to have a job with the same route. Get out. Don’t stay in. Explore and create. Live and love and let live and love. Love it. Andy you inspire 1,000’s and even my 40 yr old butt. Peace Love and Andy Anderson!
What I love about skateboarding, lately, is the promotion of unusual riding styles. The growing norm of massive features/20 stair handrails etc is cool, but THIS is the type of skating I enjoy and sparks the creativity we should all strive to bring to our daily lives.
“What’s a movie?”
Legendary quote.
😂 for real
Lol. I think he said, " what's the movie" but blended. Like what'stha movie?
it may sounds a bit weird, but this movie was so inspiering, andy is such a cool person🤝
This might be my favorite skateboarder! I’ve only been skate boarding for a couple of hours though 😁
Probably one of the best skate videos I've seen for a long long time, it's almost unfair for anybody to compete against this. No cliché fashion shot's, No regurgitation, No over produced production or relying on massive hospital drops or rails, just a guy with absolute mastery over his board and a great personality, this has definitely opened my eyes to Andy more than any other piece I've watched of him. TBH I used to find him obnoxious and grating but this video show's him for who he really is and show's his skating in the best light also, nobody is skating like this, nobody is really putting their own stamp on tricks and movement like him, maybe Dan Corrigan is pushing the boundaries of normality within skate culture but I feel he is very indoctrinated in whats cool to do and what isn't where as Andy just does Andy and makes it look good no matter what anybody else thinks. I had to write an entire SA on this just because I felt it deserved my true opinion 🤣 if my man can spend hours just skating to a shop from his van, the least I can do is spend ten minutes writing a comment on how much I appreciated his work. 👊🏾👏🏾
Thanks for taking the time! It got me thinking about how we often compare things, putting one thing against another, and how we don't need to agree with everything someone says but how important it is to hear each other out.

Thanks again, that was cool how you shared your thought process. Feelin it.
@@zengabros I couldn't agree more bro, I haven't watched TV for a looong time, and I literally find it funny how angry and twisted people get over things that have no effect on them what so ever, they just get agitated because media tells them to be. I wish I had the patients Andy does in that confrontation, I don't think I could of handled it so well, as much as I wish I could. Great job! Appreciate the comment.
@@zengabros Luv how he turned the old guy around as well, I think the entire world need's to interact more with each other and understand nobody is out to hurt you, we are all just living our best life.
"This is the line bro! That acid drop kickflip comin up... HAYAAAAAA!" Dude this made me smile from ear to ear!
The skater who is the hardest not to like found a way to make it even harder not to like him. Great piece.
Watching Andy skate just makes me want to go out and skate more. As amazing of a skater as he is, he still makes it seem accessable. The definition of a professional skater is someone who makes others want to skate, and Andy does that on a supernatural level.
Just in the way Andy approaches his art is so genuine. He just skates because he fucking loves it. So sick.
Best piece of skateboard art I've ever experienced ... I had a smile the entire time .... Thanx Andy 😁
After 30years of rollerblading it's because of andy Anderson at the age of 35 I have taken to skateboarding the guy is a legend he is the Rodney mulen of our generation
This guy is really special, not only his skating skills, but also his personality. Wish the world had more more people like him, who just want to be themselves, without hurting or affecting anyone else in a negative way, but rather the complete opposite. Beautiful film.
I would love to meet Andy. He truly is at one with himself and the world. Great movie guys. I really enjoyed watching this
He’s truly at one with his board!
Weird how he’s a hateful being cause he supports evil lifestyles like Buddha, gays, stoners, drunks, druggies, and says they are fine but in reality they are hateful towards good. They never want to change to good always want to continue in evil. Andy gets soo mad and yells a at his mom. Hateful but weird how he tries to hide it with all the crap. Don’t fool me. Your Spiritually dead.
@@fishingthebahamas166 ur literally the druggy here. Wtf are you talking about?
Oh nooo, not the gays!
I'm sure we have more important things to pay attention to.
This is one of those rare videos on TH-cam, where the comment section is just pure positivity. So beautiful. Thank you Andy, for simply being true to you. Look what it does to other people. Brings out the wonderful true nature of other humans.
I hate you....
Tube can be a really toxic place a lot of the time 😛
@@andystray4554 Nah, you love me 😉
@@_Christopher_Williams Aww, yeah 😁
a year later and still the best thing ive seen on youtube.
Rodney Mullen was one of my all-time favorite skateboarders and there's so many old skaters that I could bring up or mention but Andy is definitely near the top of my list right next to Mullen he just reminds me of this generation's Rodney Mullen
THIS is what SKATEBOARDING means. Be free, feel the moment, let your body and your soul express themselves through your board rolling down the streets. Some skaters tend to forget the essence of our passion, so thanks for the reminder.
Thank you !!
I havent skated since I was 16. I am 42 now. Just picked up a board 2 weeks ago, bought one for my son and daughter as well. It's like a flood of love coming back in my life, I forgot the excitement in breathing and flowing with the invisible currents. I started when I was 6, never real "hardcore" with the tricks, I could do some but I just loved to ride. Messed up kid, broken infectious homelife, not with the program. But I was absolutely ok on my skateboard. I am very happy and grateful to have this again, whatever it may be. Great video, Andy seems like a real free spirit, A kind radical.
The Mark Gonzales vibes are real with this kid. Even his voice sounds a lot like him. Awesome video Powell Peralta
Mark is a junkie....Andy is a G
Andy is not only a gift to skateboard but to the world. Amazingly kind and gentle soul.
Dude. This man's skill is immeasurable. He makes everything look easy and just has a generally good vibe. Keep shredding.
