@@experienceofchris1108 these guys may be awkward, but they own it and they don’t seem to have any trouble communicating. Not sure why they’d struggle.
Andy was told “don’t reinvent the wheel,” one too many times and was like nah imma reinvent it lol love the dude, got me back into skate culture even though my body can’t do the skating part anymore
@@N-B-MMA Also freestylers still use them today, I'm looking at a set on my Waltz deck now. Also unless the longboard scene has switched it up in the last decade that's all aesymetic too.
He's also a big-enough fan of history to have a bunch of ideas bouncing around. I love how he shouts out literally dozens of skaters who invented tricks he used in his new part. Man's original, but knows where he comes from as an artist.
Absolutely. The more you look the more you see. Dude has vision and knowledge of and respect for those who came before him and the gear they used. He also sees the reasoning behind the equipment design decisions. Definitely a fun person to let talk at you for a while. Plus he’s so chill, like no bad vibes, at least never seen any blow ups. Idk if he has that in him even 😎🌞🤙
First the board shape then the grip tape now the wheels he's reinvented the whole board, he reminds me of Rodney Mullen with the way he uses his mind to skate
Damn I’m glad this guy is a pro and can vouch and prove the usefulness of stuff like this. I’ve always been into the weird skate tech that was floating around from the 70’s-91. Loved the cubics and the rat bones. It’s really like running wide tires and wheels with crazy offset on a car. Want to see more semi soft wheels from 90a-95a. This guy will keep bringing back the forgotten good. Rails, money bumps, board shapes, etc
The best thing about these wheels is that if everybody rode these wheels there would be no more tiny pot holes in the concrete at every outdoor skatepark. These potholes are the fastest destroyers of skateparks. It makes skating very hard when landing a trick. That would save millions of dollars in concrete repairs. That should be his leading selling point.
I was a hardcore skater in the 80s. I don't know how it is now but destruction of property and being a rebellious outsider was part of the fun. I don't condone it but it sure was fun as a kid.
@somnusmortem4318 I believe hmthe op commenter is saying that with the nuts sunked into the wheel there isn't steel hardware slamming into the skate surface, a ton of times, which creates actual potholes for your wheels to get stuck in and reintroduce your face to the ground in a bad way 😉 not so much about actual intentional vandalism. Could be wrong.
i have always put 2 or 3 extra washers against the truck hanger to push the nut flush with axle. been doing that for 30+ years. there was a skatepark inside a roller rink in florida and that was mandatory that your nut was flush with the axle to avoid damaging the hardwood floor finishing. it made perfect sense back to me in grade 8 and never stopped doing it.
Andy has been showing up in my feed a lot lately and I love this dude! It's great to see what's going on in the skateboarding world these days after being out of it for over a decade.
Back in the 90s I also thought it would be better to have the wheel go over. Glad Andy put in the work to make it happen and make it main stream, picking these up for sure when I need new wheels!
Not a skater but love listening to Andy explain things. He'd be an awesome teacher. Breaks down complex ideas with ease for a layman like myself to understand.
Man, these wheels mean such a lot to skateboarding and I think people are missing it. When was the last time you can think of that there was a freestyle wheel available in 99% of skate shops ? That little gem of a thing will change a lot, not only for freestyle but generally for skateboarding as a whole. Andy Anderson is changing skateboarding regardless of if you like him or what he's doing and I love that about him.
These make so much sense. So do the rails on his board to facilitate board and lip slides. It makes me think that a similar replaceable rail on the tail might be good for preventing razor tail and extending the life of your decks. Also, if someone could come up with a suitable replacement for grip tape that doesn’t destroy shoes, that would be awesome.
Now I feel like if I want a board just like his, I'd have to get a complete w/ his trucks and wheels already on... Plus the grip tape map, that's really cool too. 😁👍🖤
In longboarding there are centered bearing seat,off side and in side!!!That will make the wheel more or less grippy or how easy the wheel releasse to slide,regarding its duro!The centered bearing seat core,the wheels can be flipped once in a while to control how they will wear out and more easyer to avoid them to cone out! The other 2 types of bearing seat,they will cone out by nature,some can be flipped and turn what was an off set wheel into an in set one!
@@Hanstra Right???!At least Andy is breacking those bariers and teach some "science" and other skaters can take their heads out of the whetever it as been in the last 3 decades and make skateboarding evolve as much as longboarding did !
We all know longboarders and longboarding is easily a good decade ahead of skateboarding. It's because of the longboarding community we have better urethane wheels,more innovative trucks, different deck composites, bearings,etc.
Anyone in the 70’s remember the conical bowl wheels. Freestyle wheels OJ’s freestyle had the softer shaped conical inside. Which many freestyle wheels from today copied.
Andy is special hope skateboarding picks up in the youth his style is difficult but with time and a bit of talent you can be almost as good as him. I see him as a bob ross of skateboarding with how hes really put everything into this sport. True artist in the culture and but respects everyone around him and you can see how he really admires these legends. Love seeing him get his flowers well raised good Canadian kid cheers 🍻
Been skating ditches,pools,pipes n parks since 1976 and this wheel is a Top Pick Hall-Of-Fame type wheel. Wish had a couple mm bigger around version but still,near perfect all-around wheel w good ceramics
I talked to Andy under the tent when it dumped in Mississauga (Jackalope) when everyone was under cover. I said I know I know you but I'm a snowboarder/Ow'er and Im not in the know and up to date on anything skate. Super cool dude was talking with another young skater but sounded like sound advice. So just here to say I knew I knew ha ha.
longboarders have been on this for a while, side set wheels are super fun. Should also make power sliding easier but you will also get coned wheels faster due to the pressure to ground being asymmetrical.
Reminds me of spitfires from mid 90s. The axel damage was a feature it keeps the wheel nuts from randomly falling off faceplanting you at the most embrassing of times
I mean the clear downside is you’re spending twice as much to replace the wheels. As a high school you do not want that. You get a symmetrical wheel, swap it after 6 months, and you have a new wheel. As an adult with money to spend, it’s a nice upgrade.
They work like having negative wheel offsets on your car, which is cool bc it's seems like the board is responding similarly to how you expect in a car to the came thing.
When the wheel cones, you swap front and rear. Coning tends to be worse on the rear because your weight is normally over the rear truck. Before double kick boards this was evident, but modern boards wear more evenly.
Skateboarding decks have been symmetrical since early/mid 90's, there are a few non, but like 99% have same nose and tail, so no front or rear anymore.
@@ModPhreak This isn’t correct. 99% of modern boards only look symmetrical to the untrained eye. The nose has a more pronounced kick, which helps with flip tricks. Most truck bolts come with 1 or 2 coloured bolts so you can mark which end is the front. True symmetrical boards exist, but they are very rare. They are sometimes called ‘double tail’ boards. Regardless, modern boards are ridden fakie enough to minimise coning, and it is less evident on narrower wheels than it was on wider and softer pre-90s wheels.
Yep. It's like he's internalized so much of the history that he just breathes new life into the game. Super open-minded, which doesn't hurt the creativity on the board, but also beyond. And he also doesn't have a big head about it. Props. Also, most people don't even get careers in the game, so I'm not about to dog on any pros big or small.
He’s just on a whole other level from us. Like a time traveler talking to cavemen. Reminds me of Rodney Mullen interviews in the 2000’s. His brain just sees everything so different.
Back in the 70s I'd cut my wide green pool kryps down to the narrowest without exposing the nut, for freestyle. Ended up exactly the same width as the deck too. They were square on the inside edge and filed to a curve on the outside too, they look very similar, still got 8 of them.
i just put spacer(the little one come with bearing and trucks) behind the bearing to get my bolt closer to the edge of the truck. i never stripped a truck or a bolt
If you skate hard floor the nut and the bolt will get deformed, it will last a bit longer and you need to buy lots of nuts, I used to do the same as you. Until the thread making tools, I had to buy so many trucks because of that issue. And the rethreading only works a few times.
Not a skater, never been a skater, but I understand mathematics and physics well. This kid is incredible with how he views skating. It actually helps me understand it more. His grip tape and now this?!? This is so incredible.
I’ve never stripped an axle thread because I don’t crank the nut down too far to expose the thread. I hate not being able to spin wheels around and I don’t like wide wheels. He also didn’t even talk about how these let you do railstand tricks which is the main reason people used to skate offset wheels in freestyle.
Axle threads get destroyed from landing primo on your board too many times... the threads get all crunched up from the concrete and the nut won't spin back on, or the half-chewed up nut won't come off
@@l.j.i that doesn’t happen if you keep the nut flush with the axle. The outside of the nut can get beat up but you can still get the nut on and off because the threads are totally protected.
@FirelordRob76 alright, sweet. I wish I knew this before I dropped the cash on a re-threadder, but I'm going to use this tip now! Thanks so much homie! Appreciate you! 🤟
I will most likely buy these with my next set up 😂 im 30 but i tottally agree... i remember when i started that you could still get the odd wheels where the bolt was covered to some extent by the wheel and then they all vanished... i got that annoyed that for about 7 years i used to buy longboard wheels instead purely for the fact that they have the over hang like these do to protect your bolts (though i dont think thats the intention in longboarding and that its just for extra surface area for grip) but i definitely think i need to get me a set of these in 60mm with that beautiful 97a mix 😬
Andy just casually comes along and says make the asymmetrical board symmetrical and make the symmetrical wheels asymmetrical. I bet people just thought he was off his rocker for the longest time it must be so vindicating to have finally achieved what he had been dreaming of before people could even comprehend what he was on about.
Wheels with that shape were usual to see yet in the 80s. Today I was trying to make a truck work for a wide board and the wheels are some 1cm short to the edge and I thought exactly i would need a wheel with that shape.
Back in around 1994 there are wheels (Bones started it) that looks exactly like that, theyre called Nut huggers..cant use a typical wrench as tool, you'll really need a skate tool..search them out
Brilliant! I just got the dragons 56mm. And I've planned to saw off the inner part of the wheel to get the lock in. plus I was not able to get them 54mm. They feel good but would prefer them narrower.
If you put like a really hard plastic ring in the wheel on the rounded outer face, you could do primo slides with these wheels, maybe even better than before
I just got my first guitar with an asymetrical neck profile, and compound radius. I don’t know what wheels do. I don’t skate. But i know what its like to nerd out about detailed specs
Bmx Bikes have had female bolts with the axle attached for a while but I’ve never thought of doing it on a skateboard wheel that’s actually super smart honestly well needed. So many days when I was younger I spent with my dremel and a metal cutting disk just carefully rethreading my trucks or cutting a little off the end of my axles is more than enough time spent on stripped trucks for one lifetime. I’m sure many others can relate. Or the rethreading tool ahh those things suck dude
I wanna see Andy and Rodney Mullen have conversation about everything skateboarding. I think it would be some kind of amazing.
