He's young and he's blending old skool tricks with new ones. That's real skateboarding right there. Carving, manual, spinning, flipping, grinding and sliding, he got it all.
So true. Skills =/= Creativy but Creativy = Skills . But the board costs 125 dollars, I did not know that all the skaters ate caviar at noon, it is much too abusive
This dude is one of the best skaters I’ve ever seen. Style, creativity, skill, attitude, he has everything. And his style is this crazy combination of gnarly gutter skaters in the early eighties mixed with the flying ease they mastered later in the decade mixed with the go-getting aggressive stance of the 90s Street explosion and dropped over with an ice skaters grace. How?? HOW!?
@John Frum I thought the answer was obvious... it's because nobody does those tricks anymore. He's making people want to go back to where skating originated. Not only that but he's extremely knowledgeable on who invented the tricks and when they did so. People just skate and know the current mainstream skaters, everyone can name Rodney Mullen but that's about it lol
He is so much fun to watch. I’m 32 and just started skating again after like 15 years after randomly stumbling upon one of his videos on youtube. Bought his exact set up with the 8.75 mini logo trucks and everything. Lol I’m straight up obsessed with skating again and his board is SO MUCH FUN to ride!
Also he is not just improving on these old school tricks but breaking them down and combining them with a modern style. THAT is why everyone is impressed. Also the fact that he got a VCJ Powell deck that fits right in with the Bones Brigade, as he would have circa mid 80’s.
i like watching these vids, but skaters really need to start using protective gears. i mean not necessarily for some flat ground stuff (even there it would be good) but for the jumps and all it really is crazy not to be careful at least a bit. i mean stuff happens quick, and then the skateing can be over.
usrenmae Even though I never had a head injury skating (but too many leg injuries too count), I still don't understand why the stigma exists. I mean, if it's full face, there's a comfort issue and it hinders your peripheral vision, but skaters always rock a brain bucket instead, so what the hell?
Skateboarding is about confidence and knowing your ability level. There is researched psychology behind why not wearing a helmet on a bike actually makes your chance of crashing lower. I'm all for wearing a helmet on transition, especially if it is concrete, but when I see someone wearing a helmet while skating flat it makes me feel sad. I wear a helmet when I drive to protect me from the airbag.
No. A Vader is already the name of a BMX trick. I wouldn't have said anything but apparently we BMXers can't call our version of a half-cab a half-cab anymore so.... ;-)
andy is so rad. combining the old with the new and wrap it up with pure passion. i could watch him ride and talk skate philosophy all day! keep killing it!
Whenever Andy starts talking to someone about skating after about a minute their jaw drops and they go quiet. He's got the answers to the questions you hadn't thought about until just now
I’ll tell you what I love about this video. It totally destroys any idea that skaters have to be rude, vulgar, disrespectful, or dumb. I have a 7yo cancer survivor for a son. I’m protective of him, but I would let him hang out with all you guys any day. Andy, with all his hard work and careful design consideration is not only a decent guy, but a character model.
most skaters are chill and supportive, no ones ever going to make fun of you for being unskilled because anyone who is good now at somepoint or another couldnt even ollie. everyone starts at the bottom.
Ya im really glad tht ur starting to realize ur vision of what a skater is, is in reality ur own ignorance and lack of any knowlege of the culture at all
It's a true innovation, I bought one and it's absolutely next-level. It's incredibly light while being a relative wide deck at 8.45. This makes it supercomfy to land on, especially when you have big feet. The shape is great as well, reminds me of oldskool decks but with a lot more thinking behind it than just good looks, Andy's explanation of the shape says it all. I predict this first run of Anderson decks will be sold out in no-time and become highly collectible. Planning on buying another one, the 9 inch model, and hanging it on the wall. It's a piece of modern art.
A toda madre I’m about to order one dude ! Haven’t skated in almost 20years and I’m 37. 2 weeks ago I went out and got a regular popsicle shape I wish I would have never quit.
@@JOE_NASTYY that's rad! I skated growing up, had a bad knee reconstruction after a ramp session 8 years ago, but now binge-watching Andy makes me wanna get back on the board!

@@D00M3R-SK8 No they didn't, unless you are talking about special manuals. THPS3 had "Secret Combos" which was like, a small step towards that sort of thing (pressing down during a 50-50 would do a "secret combo" and turn it into a 5-0 for example) Proper flatground tricks, and changing to other grinds / manuals mid trick weren't a fleshed out base mechanic until THPS4. One of the first goals that made you use them was the flatground competition under the covered area in the London level, near the slap fight betting game.
Seeing Aaron learning new tricks is so amazing, this is the joy of skateboarding! Learning something new after skating for so long and its still brings him the same joy. Love it

style wise kinda, yeah. but andy doesn't credit himself for inventing anything. he loves to give credit to lots of specific people for everything he does and speaks like hes a student of them even though we're learning a lot from him
There are guys like Jonny Giger and Alex Rademaker that spend a lot of time recreating Mullen’s hardest tricks, and no disrespect to them because they’re great in their own right, but Andy is the first guy in a long time that seems to actually have a mind similar to Rodney’s. He’s an outsider that doesn’t care about the more superficial aspects of skateboarding and just puts everything into his tricks and skating in creative ways. Also like Mullen, he is soft-spoken and crazy humble. I hate how difficult it is for him to get noticed in the industry. Was treated as a novelty at Tampa Pro and has difficulty getting sponsored by other companies because he wears a helmet. Hoping his time to shine comes eventually because the dude definitely deserves it. Looking forward to him blowing up in the future.

Dear Andy, you skate the way I do in my dreams. I loved ur old-school rails at the Venice park. And ur totally smooth end-overs here. Totally inspirational.
in over 20 years of skating with 12 years of those skating 12 hours a day. i never really saw a need for a helmet? if you crack your head skateboarding just quit. its not meant for you at that point in time. if you are skating a 20 foot vert then yeah, you can fall 20 feet onto your head. but most times you wont fall on your head. its pretty hard for that to happen. and helmets actually cause more injury's then they stop. which is the predominate reason skaters dont wear them . ive gotten a lot of neck injurys from mandatory helmet parks. but when you rent it out for the night at the lock in skate sessions nobody ever gets hurt?
@@dbspaceoditty "if you crack your head skateboarding just quit". Yeah, I guess you don't have another option either, since you might end up being a vegetable in bed the rest of your life.
#notificationsquad I love how people always are like "you don't need a helmet because *insert bullshit*" I don't use one because it is mildly annoying but mostly because it doesn't look as cool. Fuck guys! You can make stupid shit, but OWN IT. If you don't, u are just an ashole.
Love that he said you need to be fully tense with your body yo keep the balance and the flow, when most people tends to fail because they think smoothness is relaxation and flow and thats why they keep failing. Your body is moving and using real energy, is not a beach trip.
Andy is one of the most inspiring skaters out there at the moment. The way he mixes street skating, freestyle skating and transition skating all into one is amazing. Combined with his passion for Animal Chin, this guy is easily one of the best skaters hands down.
Woooooooahyahoooooo i cant describe in words my amount of love for this first Braille-Andy video: too epic. Watching this for the first time sparked my life as a skater at 21.. two years later im dropping into 8 ft bowls preparing to learn vert, and board sliding rails higher than i ever thought id be able to ollie. Thank you for all that you guys have put out here on youtube/ the universe. This energy is snowballing nothing but positivity. Thank you thank you thank you❤️❤️❤️😇❤️❤️❤️🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼✌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
carlos gets real shy when around skaters he respects/better then him in his techy ways. he is too humbled most of the time. he was like a kid meeting a pro skater...
32 years old been skating since I was 15? Andy is the greatest skateboarder to watch and get hyped to go out and skate.. favorite of a lifetime for sure
anderson rips because he's an individual and he wears a helmet despite all the lame peer pressure that exists in skateboarding. it's no secret at this point that you probably won't make it into the pages of thrasher if you wear a helmet. personal safety just isn't aligned with the thrasher brand, etc.
N Voss their slogan at one point was along the lines of "keeping kids jumping off shit". At that point, any expectations of promoting saftey fly out the window faster than a fat guy on a mega ramp.
let's also not forget that most board companies don't provide health insurance to riders. that basically means that as a pro you're kind of between a rock and a hard place: if you wear pads, it's pretty much guaranteed that you won't get into the magazines and will have limited sponsorship opportunities. if you don't wear pads, you increase the risk of injury and hence financial ruin. just try asking a pro what it's like being out of the game for 6-8 months. for a lot of riders, it means looking for another career. skateboarding is still a very, very precarious industry, which i find baffling given its global popularity.
Everytime I watch a video I can barley here whats going on so I turn up the volume. Then Gabe screams WhoooOOOOOOOAAAAaaaaOOOOOaoaoOAOOAOAOAOAooooOAOOAOAO into the microphone and blows out my ear drums.
it really does suck have to lower the almost to nothing.. they need to do something about it, I used to watch so much of their videos and now its a rarity.
Andy just rips it apart quite possibly the best there is at the moment he's just a pleasure to watch as Igrew up on freestyle love it just love it .🇦🇺✌️
Awesome video guys, this has gotta be one of my all time favourites on your channel. Bring Andy back soon and have him just show off his arsenal of tricks for like 2 hours.
@@tylersk8s51 Irrelevant companies that nobody in the skate community takes serious. Just cause your friend owns a small skateboard company and puts your name on a board, does not make you pro.
@@Subaruuu12 sorry to get in on this one, a pro is somebody that gets paid for what they do, a pro does not necessarily need a sponsor, youtube has made him pretty well known, with all the views on these videos I'd put money down that the whole braille team are skating professionally at this point! Ok he's not a skate God, but he's doing a lot for the skate community, no need to bash the guy for it!
@@troublingleaf You need a sponsor to be pro, that's just a basic fact. Just because you have a youtube channel about skateboarding that generates money, does not make you a pro skateboarder. They are content creators. Call them youtube pros, thats ok with me.
#notificationsquad. Skating has literally saved my life. It got me out of a gang and i actually ended up finding my wife because of skating. Love you guys and go skate!!
pain player that's awesome! Go you, dude! BMX saved my life, in a bunch of ways, from getting in shape after being fat enough to have minor heart attacks as a teenager, to running away from people who were legit trying to kill me, to helping me with my depression, so it's great to hear about doing stunts in the streets saving someone else, too.
Same, but I was expecting a lot more footage of him just shredding. I felt like they could've utilized this opportunity a lot more. edit: still a really awesome video
I remember seeing your comment and be intrigued as to who he was. Then I went to watch some of his vids and I was surprised by how talented he is, and also I really like the way he designed his board.
#Notificationsquad Want for my husband! His dad grew up skating in pools in California,he grew up skating spots like kona, the spot and m&J’s and now he’s teaching our kids. What an awesome throwback board but for the future. My son currently has a Kevin Harris board that his grandfather had from the 80’s
So sick!! I'm old and love to hear these types of stories. Keep the old school alive. I'm surprised at how many skaters now a days know nothing about the skaters that came before them
So, I only recently found out about Andy Anderson and I have to say I am so impressed not only with his skill, his personality, but as you guys say, his creativity and just...just the amount of thought he put into signing that board. I just love him.
His approach is so flowing, learning to control his muscles through freestyle really helped. He has learned the three skate languages and has mental and body connectivity in a way that he adapts as the changes happen. Most people dial in a few tricks from hundreds of attempts, but when they do a series of tricks their brain gets jammed up with linear thinking. This guy is going to inspire so many skaters to up their game. Skateboarding has never been this exciting and watchable for a long time
I grew up skating those tricks that he does! Amazing to see and now knowing his background with Kevin Harris, it makes perfect sense. His dad is probably a skater too I think. So cool man. What a flashback to see him doing those manuals.
Skater: does anything Gabe: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIGHHHHHHOOHOHOHOKHHOHOHOLHOHOHOHOHOOHOOOOHOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIGHHHHHHOOHOHOHOKHHOHOHOLHOHOHOHOHOOHOOOOHOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Man, that's a sick board. Top of my wish list now! My boy Andy bringing Rodney's old shit back for the younger generation. I love that he's recycling freestyle, the amount of innovation it brings to his skating just makes him so much more creative in his use of space. Andy Anderson is one to watch for sure.
#NotificationSquad Tbh I wont be mad if I dont even get the board, I'm still going to buy it and I want to support this guy and his work so keep up the great work man!
BIG Andy Anderson fan! I've watched him destroy* the Squamish Park quite a few times. *"destroy" isn't the right word for what Andy does, it's more like "re-imagine how physics work".
Love the mix of old school freestyle and creative innovation, also love that you have taken the great aspects from all the era's of decks and created one of your own. The Search for Animal Chin continues...
I just learned of Andy Anderson today. great skater; great guy. It's so much more enjoyable to watch someone skate non-demo style, whole getting a sense of their character.
Who should we have visit next?
Rodyney Mullen
Luan Oliveira or Nyjah Huston

Skateboarding is about confidence and knowing your ability level. There is researched psychology behind why not wearing a helmet on a bike actually makes your chance of crashing lower.

I wear a helmet when I drive to protect me from the airbag.
@@ethercarp Because falling on flat and slamming the back of your head on concrete is cooler than wearing a helmet, amirite?

and that is why he's one of the best

Chromer Pimpson it’s not anymore. You are obligated to like this comment now.
Love that he said you need to be fully tense with your body yo keep the balance and the flow, when most people tends to fail because they think smoothness is relaxation and flow and thats why they keep failing. Your body is moving and using real energy, is not a beach trip.
I've been skating since 1974 and I am amazed at what this awesome person, Andy, can do! So impressive!
Andy Anderson the Canadian alien
Andy is one of the most inspiring skaters out there at the moment. The way he mixes street skating, freestyle skating and transition skating all into one is amazing. Combined with his passion for Animal Chin, this guy is easily one of the best skaters hands down.

@@spriteqcx0 And he does big rails and stair sets also. He does everything.
This is weird because I feel like all Canadians are aliens
Woooooooahyahoooooo i cant describe in words my amount of love for this first Braille-Andy video: too epic. Watching this for the first time sparked my life as a skater at 21.. two years later im dropping into 8 ft bowls preparing to learn vert, and board sliding rails higher than i ever thought id be able to ollie. Thank you for all that you guys have put out here on youtube/ the universe. This energy is snowballing nothing but positivity. Thank you thank you thank you❤️❤️❤️😇❤️❤️❤️🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼✌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Im so happg you guys brought andy into the warehouse, hes one of my favorite skaters and i always wanted to see andy and carlos play a game of skate
christian alarcon YESSSS
Anything counts
Really wanted to see more Carlos with Andy. But Kyro learning some of this was great to see too
carlos gets real shy when around skaters he respects/better then him in his techy ways. he is too humbled most of the time. he was like a kid meeting a pro skater...
Check out the Braille Army Channel for an awesome video with Carlos and Andy
@@brailleskateboarding damn y'all deliver
Dude breaks physics like pro skater 2
Check out Killian martin
That guy is so chilled and at the same time insane with his skill!
Much love
I have a scooter and have been wanting to start skateboarding for a while. This channel has been a part of the inspiration for that. Thank you so much
Awesome!
32 years old been skating since I was 15? Andy is the greatest skateboarder to watch and get hyped to go out and skate.. favorite of a lifetime for sure
anderson rips because he's an individual and he wears a helmet despite all the lame peer pressure that exists in skateboarding. it's no secret at this point that you probably won't make it into the pages of thrasher if you wear a helmet. personal safety just isn't aligned with the thrasher brand, etc.
N Voss their slogan at one point was along the lines of "keeping kids jumping off shit". At that point, any expectations of promoting saftey fly out the window faster than a fat guy on a mega ramp.
Too much is about being a tuff guy. Anderson seems so genuine
let's also not forget that most board companies don't provide health insurance to riders. that basically means that as a pro you're kind of between a rock and a hard place: if you wear pads, it's pretty much guaranteed that you won't get into the magazines and will have limited sponsorship opportunities. if you don't wear pads, you increase the risk of injury and hence financial ruin. just try asking a pro what it's like being out of the game for 6-8 months. for a lot of riders, it means looking for another career. skateboarding is still a very, very precarious industry, which i find baffling given its global popularity.
@@officialclownbusiness7788 That is all up to interpretation. If you get a bad enough injury- you're done with jumping off shit.
Not true in vert skate pics or mega ramp
My top 3 skaters
1. Rodney Mullen
2. Daewon Song
3. Andy Anderson

4. Chris Cole
5. Jamie Foy
eric koston too
Best lesson the Braille guys can learn from him is wear a lid
When you put on balance cheats in Tony Hawk.
scrolled through to find that comment. nice!
Everytime I watch a video I can barley here whats going on so I turn up the volume. Then Gabe screams WhoooOOOOOOOAAAAaaaaOOOOOaoaoOAOOAOAOAOAooooOAOOAOAO into the microphone and blows out my ear drums.
same lol I'm always adjusting it and I never use headphones
the worst is when he does it for absolutely no reason, i swear hes on the spectrum
#gabesabitch
. tag that he loves it
it really does suck have to lower the almost to nothing.. they need to do something about it, I used to watch so much of their videos and now its a rarity.
images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41x5dt%2BjcUL.jpg *I'm just sayin'...*
Andy just rips it apart quite possibly the best there is at the moment he's just a pleasure to watch as Igrew up on freestyle love it just love it .🇦🇺✌️
Hey Braille Skateboarding! Yay Andy Anderson! Braille should have Andy full time! Ride ride ride!
I second that!
Pshh he’s on peralta. He’s an actual pro
No, he would steal the show.
Also he is to expansive for braille
he's way too cool for Braille.
Awesome video guys, this has gotta be one of my all time favourites on your channel.
Bring Andy back soon and have him just show off his arsenal of tricks for like 2 hours.
Bring back today i learned, make Aaron learn impossible and front foot impossible!
Turn on Playback Speed x0.25 then hit this timestamp 19:24
GEEEEETTTTTTT OOOUUTTTT OF TOWWWWWN
Andy Anderson knows more about skateboarding than Google 🤟🤓
This dude looks like a young Dave Mustaine and his board art is reminiscent of Per Welinder. Love the R&D he put in to this
He definitely looks like Dave Mustaine!
These weird flat tricks are the only "tricks" I can still do. So crazy how much skating has evolved in just 10-15 years. So nuts, love this dude.
WOW Billy from Stranger Things got some good tricks! he should name a trick the Mind Flayer and use it to win the X - Games.
Yes! We want a trick called the mind flayer! Lmao
A video of a professional teaching a professional. Aaron need sms by Andy Anderson.
#NotificationSquad
Aaron is not a pro, but thats hilarious.
@@Subaruuu12 yeah he is 😂😂😂 hes pro for revive and a few others genius
@@tylersk8s51 Irrelevant companies that nobody in the skate community takes serious. Just cause your friend owns a small skateboard company and puts your name on a board, does not make you pro.
@@Subaruuu12 sorry to get in on this one, a pro is somebody that gets paid for what they do, a pro does not necessarily need a sponsor, youtube has made him pretty well known, with all the views on these videos I'd put money down that the whole braille team are skating professionally at this point! Ok he's not a skate God, but he's doing a lot for the skate community, no need to bash the guy for it!
@@troublingleaf You need a sponsor to be pro, that's just a basic fact. Just because you have a youtube channel about skateboarding that generates money, does not make you a pro skateboarder. They are content creators. Call them youtube pros, thats ok with me.
"literally indestructible" huh? Give it to Fetty. #notificationsquad
turdl38 yes
Feed the beast
They did. Fetty drove over a flight board.
Andy is amazing. Him and Haslam are on another level.
Stoked to see people who wear helmets too.
I absolutely love this board! I bought the big version. It is still so light and the shape is amazing.
#notificationsquad. Skating has literally saved my life. It got me out of a gang and i actually ended up finding my wife because of skating. Love you guys and go skate!!
pain player that's awesome! Go you, dude! BMX saved my life, in a bunch of ways, from getting in shape after being fat enough to have minor heart attacks as a teenager, to running away from people who were legit trying to kill me, to helping me with my depression, so it's great to hear about doing stunts in the streets saving someone else, too.
I was that person always commenting to get Andy Anderson up in there and they delivered
Thank you for the suggestion! We loved having him up here, he is such an amazing skater and brought awesome energy to the BH
we both did it together :D
Same, but I was expecting a lot more footage of him just shredding. I felt like they could've utilized this opportunity a lot more.
edit: still a really awesome video
@@JamieDixon the skate everything video they posted today has him in it as well!!
I remember seeing your comment and be intrigued as to who he was. Then I went to watch some of his vids and I was surprised by how talented he is, and also I really like the way he designed his board.
#Notificationsquad Want for my husband! His dad grew up skating in pools in California,he grew up skating spots like kona, the spot and m&J’s and now he’s teaching our kids. What an awesome throwback board but for the future. My son currently has a Kevin Harris board that his grandfather had from the 80’s
So sick!! I'm old and love to hear these types of stories. Keep the old school alive. I'm surprised at how many skaters now a days know nothing about the skaters that came before them
So, I only recently found out about Andy Anderson and I have to say I am so impressed not only with his skill, his personality, but as you guys say, his creativity and just...just the amount of thought he put into signing that board. I just love him.
I really hope no one skipped to the skating. The whole beginning of this video was such a great watch
Hearing Aaron talk about Vancouver is unexpected but dope af. Canadian shredders unite.
Tell the Bones Brigade that Braille just located Animal Chin!
Dan Parks *no..,just no*
Have you seen him?
That's what I grew up skating to"BB" and 411. Now I'm on my Boosted board mostly . Peace!!
His approach is so flowing, learning to control his muscles through freestyle really helped. He has learned the three skate languages and has mental and body connectivity in a way that he adapts as the changes happen. Most people dial in a few tricks from hundreds of attempts, but when they do a series of tricks their brain gets jammed up with linear thinking. This guy is going to inspire so many skaters to up their game. Skateboarding has never been this exciting and watchable for a long time
This lad is some kind of alien. Insane levels. Love that he wears a lid and has designed one that looks cool af too.
I learned more from him than all my classes

I have never met you but I love you
i havent been on my skateboard for the last 12 years or so but man, that guy brings back the motivation again. Keep going Andy! Youre the Best!
This guy certified himself as a skate wizard when I heard the phrase "3-wheel manual"!
#NotificationSquad
Yeah he blew my mind
Check out Killian Martin he does one foot manuals and one wheel manuals
Justin A Yeah, but we all have seen people do that
My bro Andy good to see him going places
The humility and the talent...my lord
I grew up skating those tricks that he does! Amazing to see and now knowing his background with Kevin Harris, it makes perfect sense. His dad is probably a skater too I think. So cool man. What a flashback to see him doing those manuals.
Skater: does anything
Gabe: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIGHHHHHHOOHOHOHOKHHOHOHOLHOHOHOHOHOOHOOOOHOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIGHHHHHHOOHOHOHOKHHOHOHOLHOHOHOHOHOOHOOOOHOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This dude looks like he should be in an 80’s music video

You guys really need to put some acoustic panels all over that hall
this.
They are in california, that would be way to hot 😂
That was badass I'm so happy people are still skating like this. I grew up on this stuff and I absolutely love that it's still evolving.
#NotificationSquad
New generation of skating and board design. Much love and respect to Andy Anderson
Andy:*turns*
Host: "oh my god, that's crazy!!!"
'Host' lmao shut your fucking mouth kid you probably don't know a thing about skateboarding
😂
This is may be my favorite Braille video now
Man, that's a sick board. Top of my wish list now!
My boy Andy bringing Rodney's old shit back for the younger generation. I love that he's recycling freestyle, the amount of innovation it brings to his skating just makes him so much more creative in his use of space. Andy Anderson is one to watch for sure.
Andy kills it!!! I can’t wait to get one of his boards so sick!!!
WOW a whole switch-up in style, BRING HIM BACK! I could imagine what else he got up his sleeves!
#NotificationSquad Tbh I wont be mad if I dont even get the board, I'm still going to buy it and I want to support this guy and his work so keep up the great work man!
Right? Me too... I'll probably even end up buying both sizes.
@@sdhayes Same
This video is unreal! Andy has got to be the most creative I have ever seen...you can see his mind just making these things come to be!
BIG Andy Anderson fan! I've watched him destroy* the Squamish Park quite a few times.
*"destroy" isn't the right word for what Andy does, it's more like "re-imagine how physics work".
The people who dislike this are scooters
Yeah they're not people, they are only scooters
yes not a person just an actual scooter
Wow it's hard to believe that just a single board design could take 8 years! Love it!
#NotificationSquad
Love the mix of old school freestyle and creative innovation, also love that you have taken the great aspects from all the era's of decks and created one of your own. The Search for Animal Chin continues...
#notificationsquad
we/i would love to see more of andy anderson with braille skateboarding
We will definitely have him come back
Love the passion he has for the sport and community! #NotificationSquad
Well looking at what this guy does its more than a sport. Its a craft, his art
F'in amazing
I literally squeaked when I seen Andy in the thumbnail, thumbs up braille.
I just learned of Andy Anderson today. great skater; great guy. It's so much more enjoyable to watch someone skate non-demo style, whole getting a sense of their character.
