Dude for real. The guy's in his mid 20's and is literally making his own custom boards down to all the physics and ergonomics and material science and even some psychology I guess you'd call it with visual cues on the board. And now you can even just get this crazy custom board stock. He's a genius and I do think this legitimately changes the sport and how boards can and will be designed going forward. And of course the braille team can see how big he is and is going to be so they're all a bit starstruck. But he's so fricking humble!!! And he's just stoked that the braille team wanted to FaceTime him and he's a bit star struck himself, but I think maybe they recognize that in each other and so they really come off as peers and friends. And he's definitely aware of the reach the braille team has and what it will do for his marketing, but he doesn't just see it as a business move, he sees it as a friend helping and he is very grateful.
That board is so rad. The way the mass is concentrated along the center line and the way the features are placed to put the leverage in the best direction. Andy is a thinker the way Rodney Mullen is a thinker.
He's the only one that makes me think of classic Mullen all the time showing the same interesting ideas and then he does some things that I've never seen before, absolute class.
Andy Anderson is almost single-handedly responsible for my love of skating and deserves every bit of attention he’s getting from this video. Thank you guys so much for lifting up such great skaters and giving them the platform they deserve! You all rock 🤟
I absolutely love Andy, He's brought so much to skateboarding in such a short time. His boards are the best innovation I've seen in a long time. II wish we had a board like this back in the day, incredibly thoughtful the way he has designed his stuff.
This board is super intriguing. I can’t decide if I should try one or not. But I love that Andy is trying to change the fundamental design of the skateboard to take skateboarding into the future. Much respect 👊👍
Try it. I got the first Andy board and it is absolutely fantastic, unlike any board that came before it. The carbon layers make for a stiff, light board so it can be wider and the shape is very smart. Andy Anderson is the Mad Scientist of Skateboarding, I seriously consider taking it up to 88mph...
Man Andy is making some serious waves in Skateboaring. Pushing helmets, unique wheel redesigns, unique board shapes with actual reasoning for modifications. Can't wait to see where he takes new technology next. Also, what size trucks do you need for this? I know it's 8.4" but is that at the bolts? Do i you get trucks for an 8.5"?
Andy is literally a pioneer in the sport. He’s already a living legend and not even 30😂😂. Dude is nuts! I love that he’s part of this sport. Can’t wait to see what he innovates next.
I've been on and off skating for the last 14/15 years (26 now) and every time I come back Braille is waiting for me with more amazing videos to get me motivated, I remember watching you guys when you where on the stairs down the side of the skate park, all the way to when you first got the warehouse, always amazing content guys never stop 👌🏼🙏🏻
I bought this board 5 months into skating. Seriously, it's the best purchase I ever made. The squared off tail improved my ollies a lot, I felt way more confident in my pop, and the flight deck pops really well. I went from barely being able to do kickflips to being able to kickflip a 4 stair in 1 month (it wasnt mob either) thanks to the wings/tabs making the flick more forgiving and again boosting my confidence. That being said, the board doesn't make you a better skater but gives you a small edge, which can really affect your mindset on the board. The most important thing is just spending time skating.
i dont necessarily think it will change skateboarding in that it will create the opportunity to innovate new tricks but i think what it will do it solidify the consistency of tricks for pros, and allow beginners to more easily and probably safely attempt, and ultimately master more tricks sooner. Andy is a legend, and this board will become the standard because it was created from the love of the sport, for the love of the sport.
I was so confused until he explained it. I have so much respect for andy and his passion for skateboarding is bar none, i love where skateboarding is heading and shout out to the braille team for inspiring the youth to try this amazing sport 🙏🙏🙏💯
Thank you guys, and Andy. I had a horrible day at work, we were understaffed, i also got charged 40 BUCKS for what's normally a 13 dollar ride to work, and then uber said I didn't pay it after they already took the money from my account and are trying to charge me again. But seeing this vid, seeing y'all talk to Andy, hearing y'all be so psyched about this board im so hyped to get and have the same opinions about how ingenious Andy is for designing all the aspects of the board the way he did... it put the biggest smile on my face, which I really needed after the day I had.
Literally the greatest deck I've ever skated andy is a genius he created a deck that helps any skater with what ever trick you want to try or even master I'm a 38 year old beginner and this deck has helped me do things I didn't even think I could accomplish
I gotta be honest, when Andy’s first board came out I didn’t quite know the reasoning behind everything. Like I heard why it’s like how it was but it was hard for me to envision. I am absolutely mind blown at this new board. I really do believe this board is the next level in skate technology because this board is absolutely genius!
I'm playing and loving Starfield! For the Monster Flip. The "Over 9000" one is by far the best looking if you can get that smooth. Loving the gaming and anime references :D I would love to try Andy's board, not sure how expensive it will be here in the UK, if it's even available. I will look into it!
I was fallen in love with Andy started skating and bought this deck and the nano cubes too. My new goal is to learn skating before I turn 50. Only 3y left to train Olli and kick flip and not to die in the process. Pros: I’m already retired so I can spend all day on the board. Cons: I already broke my spine in the past. Thx 4 your content it helps a lot 😊
1:47 I remember Andy explaining in an NKA Vids video that the tails protruding like that is so when it wears down, it'll wear down to how you prefer to pop/flick/etc tricks, instead of it starting as you want it and it wearing down to what you don't want.
I'm 44 and just got into skateboarding so no amount of cool deck tech is really going to help me BUT, I'll look into picking one of these up! Your channel has been inspirational!
Andy is like a modern day mad scientist version of Rodney Mullen. I love that he not only rips but he is trying to innovate all the tech behind the components on the board.
Thank you for this Andy my son just picked up his first board and now I have the perfect Christmas gift. Also you guys are awesome we watch your videos before skating.
2023 has gone ABSOLUTELY MAD with skateboard innovation. Viberide reinvented the long board (or any board) with a skate brake. Andy reinvented the skateboard with his design. Its hard to wrap my head around all this innovation!
Reminds me of Per Welinder’s shape if you mixed his blunt tip nose and tail freestyle deck with his street deck and made it symmetrical. Will need to test one but I’m guessing it’s a game changer. Thanks Andy.
I personally think the monsterflip is almost like an impossible... - 3rd and 4th are the best ones as they look the least like a 3shuv / impossible regarding foot placement/landing. Thanks.
I've been paralyzed from the chest down for 18 years after Andy explained the science behind his deck I felt like I could get up an kick flip first try haha. I don't know why but I trust that dude with my life.
I think this board is a game changer for all of skating, however, mainstream skateboarding businesses like SLS or X games might not go this direction. So many skaters will have to adopt this board to make it the mainstream to change corporate skating. ❤Aaron did you notice that Andy’s board is blacker than the blackest paint ? It’s sick !
Powel-Peralta boards seem to be the same from nose to tail. I was skating with a Plan B board and bought a powel peralta board last month and noticed it, my board is also a tad shorter than my Plan B board which was a little odd adjustment at first. But having the same nose and tail and the board being a tad shorter, makes you feel like you have a little more control of the board honestly, and not having to worry about reverting to have your nose not be where your tail is, is a plus as well with the nose and tail being the same
Gonna start skating again this summer after being away from it for over ten years. Really tempted to get one, even more tempted once i found out he is a fellow Canadian
Andy's video about his new board actually talks about a new concave as well! I don't recall him mentioning anything about how it grinds on rails etc though.
My first Anderson flight deck is the best board that I've ever ridden. The shape and construction of it will have me absolutely buying this new one. Happy consumer. 🙋🏼♂️
I've waited a long time for the next iteration of skateboard. A couple years back I remember walking into a bike shop to buy grips for an art project bike I was working on. Everything my BMX buddies talked about wishing they had on their bikes had come to pass, they're almost alien compared to the bmx bike I was painting. This skateboard is that. I wanna sand one down, put some custom art on it and paint up some grip tape. That thing is rad!
Had to pause the vid to comment. But regarding the graphic; the lore behind the item the dragon is holding runs along the lines of "whoever possesses this item [i forget its name] has the power to create ( / destroy) anything they can imagine." Andy explained it in a vid a long while back :)
This brings me back to when twin-tail boards appeared back in the late 80's. Mike Valley was it? With the cartoon farm art? I need to get one of these decks.
It's like an 80's board and a modern board had a baby. That concave looks deep and the shape reminds me of a late 80's Gonz. Thinking I might give one a try. Website says it's an 8.4" so I'm guessing that at the wide parts.
Me too, they charged me but haven't even sent a confirmation email or responded with an update.. kind of a bummer, could have waited till it came out and gotten it faster than pre-order..
The best part was the genuine gratitude Andy had for y’all taking the time to check out his passion projects. Wholesome
so wholesome

Andy Anderson is one of the most passionate skateboarders I've ever seen, love the new board. Lots of thought put into it.
Who's better than Andy? He's a true wizard! 🧙♂️
He didn't do well it seems as his trick.
He is an old school skater, not a trick master
Giger and Anderson are not your typical power skaters busting out sky high FS kickflips
he is THE skater nerd of all time hes a genius
Andy is already an innovation legend in the industry. And he has the best personality as well.
@@heybamanba1Agreed! George Powell and Andy are legends in industry innovation. A real dream team ❤
That board is so rad. The way the mass is concentrated along the center line and the way the features are placed to put the leverage in the best direction.
Andy is a thinker the way Rodney Mullen is a thinker.
Aron should get Andy, Mullen, and that amazing freestyle flatground dood at the braille house together
@@will1631 do you mean Jonny Geiger? Alexander Rademacher would be a great addition too.
He's the only one that makes me think of classic Mullen all the time showing the same interesting ideas and then he does some things that I've never seen before, absolute class.
Andy does it all, most versatile skater and honestly my favorite. I wanna see him go with the braille team to revisit the mega ramp
@@courier11sec is that the guy that rides the skateboards with the eyeball, I'm pretty sure its Johnny
Andy Anderson is almost single-handedly responsible for my love of skating and deserves every bit of attention he’s getting from this video.
Thank you guys so much for lifting up such great skaters and giving them the platform they deserve! You all rock 🤟
Im 45 years old and skated for years now i love these vids.. andys new deck has blown my mind ❤ keep up the great work lads
Thanks!
Watching Aaron, Gabe, Glo, and Andy just chill and chat like that was amazing. It gave me the feeling of connecting with friends I miss. Stay legends!
That monster flip sold me on the board so hard. Literal game changer
im actually blown away lol, this literally defies physics, look up the tennis racket theorem
I absolutely love Andy, He's brought so much to skateboarding in such a short time. His boards are the best innovation I've seen in a long time. II wish we had a board like this back in the day, incredibly thoughtful the way he has designed his stuff.

I would totally recommend you try it, but maybe wait for holiday sales to bring the price down.

His boards are amazing I have 2 one for more vert and one for street
It's cool that Andy really appreciates you guys showing off his stuff and how it will help with sales
It's always cool to see Andy, such a chill attitude. Definitely bring him back on for another shoot. 👍
We definitely will!
Andy is a true innovator and its so awesome Powell Peralta support his ideas and let him create these amazing things!!
Man Andy is making some serious waves in Skateboaring. Pushing helmets, unique wheel redesigns, unique board shapes with actual reasoning for modifications. Can't wait to see where he takes new technology next.
Also, what size trucks do you need for this? I know it's 8.4" but is that at the bolts? Do i you get trucks for an 8.5"?
Go 8.25 for sure
Andy is literally a pioneer in the sport. He’s already a living legend and not even 30😂😂. Dude is nuts! I love that he’s part of this sport. Can’t wait to see what he innovates next.
Getting skunked in BATB.
@@iitstre_4550😂
he used the 8.38 truck size or whatever from minilogo with the nano cubics, making them more like 8.4, the exact same width as the board
I've been on and off skating for the last 14/15 years (26 now) and every time I come back Braille is waiting for me with more amazing videos to get me motivated, I remember watching you guys when you where on the stairs down the side of the skate park, all the way to when you first got the warehouse, always amazing content guys never stop 👌🏼🙏🏻

@@watchmesquatch okay
Non skaters seem to think so. It's cause he's so fake
@@Just_SK8 What is "so fake" about Andy?
@@Just_SK8 Lol Andy is like the most authentic skater, he's just completely himself and doesn't care what the haters think.
I was so confused until he explained it. I have so much respect for andy and his passion for skateboarding is bar none, i love where skateboarding is heading and shout out to the braille team for inspiring the youth to try this amazing sport 🙏🙏🙏💯

You got this. Start slow and join Braille Army + and I will coach you

Watching glo hit rails makes me feel like I can do it too, he just makes it look impossibly easy lol!
Yeah that lock in looked really nice
Now I really wanna see Glo retry the 80 ft. slide with this setup! He's gonna nail it first try for sure!!!
Andy's awesome he's such a nice dude. I'm def saving up for a board.
I’m gonna get one of these boards Andy is amazing I love braille for continuing to show guys like Andy who are just trying to help and have fun
Andy is so nice and humble I love how he was generally grateful that Aaron bought and supported his product
I'm 44 and just got into skateboarding so no amount of cool deck tech is really going to help me BUT, I'll look into picking one of these up! Your channel has been inspirational!

rodney did the same thing
@@morrisalanisette9067yep Rodney is the reason all decks turned into Popsicles for 20 years.
Yess lets get some more videos with andy!
ANDY IS AWESOME!! ❤❤ big love to all
I actually saw one of their boards in a shop yesterday and was so stocked to see it.
Thank you for this Andy my son just picked up his first board and now I have the perfect Christmas gift. Also you guys are awesome we watch your videos before skating.

I’ve been wanting a smaller version of the original for quite some time! I can’t wait to get my feet on one!
YES!!! Andy single handedly brings back shaped boards!
That’s such a genius deck shape🤯 Total game changer, potentially💯
Andy has become an Icon and one of greatest skaters in history
and born and raised in my back yard Vancouver
I love Andy's style so much! He's an inspiration man
Reminds me of Per Welinder’s shape if you mixed his blunt tip nose and tail freestyle deck with his street deck and made it symmetrical. Will need to test one but I’m guessing it’s a game changer. Thanks Andy.
I was so stoked when Andy showed me the graphic for this deck when I met him in NYC at a Swatch event a few months back before its release.
Agreed, we need Andy back at the Braille house.
This seems like a great board for beginners and pros alike!
That final attempt on the monster flip was 100% it. That is freaking wild to see!
I personally think the monsterflip is almost like an impossible... - 3rd and 4th are the best ones as they look the least like a 3shuv / impossible regarding foot placement/landing. Thanks.
Isn't an impossible basically a monster flip but you are guiding the board with your foot? So they would look similar.
@@gageparker pretty much so, yeah.
I've been paralyzed from the chest down for 18 years after Andy explained the science behind his deck I felt like I could get up an kick flip first try haha. I don't know why but I trust that dude with my life.
Haven't seen someone love skating so much like Andy since Rodney
Been skating for 32 years I am from malibu, Andy Anderson is the only pro skater I have followed since Tony Hawk.
110% changed the game for the better with that deck! Lets GOOOooooo!!!
Very thoughtful deck. Vision and Sims used to make boards similar back in the day. Santa Cruz as well.
I need one of these!!!
really appreciate the slow mo replays !!!
Andy Anderson is a real one
Flawless grip tape technique, AK! Beautiful.
And bring that man out for another video!
We definitely will!
I think this board is a game changer for all of skating, however, mainstream skateboarding businesses like SLS or X games might not go this direction.

Why not use the special griptape that is designed for the board?
Glo walks in and just kills it after Aaron lands a perfect 10?? LOVE IT! 💕
I wanna see a Andy Anderson/ Paul Schmitt colab... that's a crazy meeting of the minds!!!
Starfields killin it!
I'm sure those 2 worked together on this
That deck reminds me of the Christian Hasoi hammer head.
Now he just needs to make color coded grip tape that highlights each section of the board so people can really see the areas they should be hitting.
Good idea!
They about to steal the formula lmao
Gonna start skating again this summer after being away from it for over ten years. Really tempted to get one, even more tempted once i found out he is a fellow Canadian
Andy is so genuine.
So what are the wheels called again and the board
Andy's video about his new board actually talks about a new concave as well! I don't recall him mentioning anything about how it grinds on rails etc though.
I didn't know what to think about rocker camber combo on snowboards, but now it's a must
My first Anderson flight deck is the best board that I've ever ridden. The shape and construction of it will have me absolutely buying this new one. Happy consumer. 🙋🏼♂️
Awesome!
It certainly seems like it's a big deal. Everyone is talking about it now. Shout out to Andy Anderson for keeping innovation going!
Thats just wild 😮
Total confidence booster.
Andy is the mad scientist of skating!
The cleanest and steeziest tricks I've seen! What a board!!!
Everything I've seen about this board shape is positive. Definitely want to grab it soon.
Starfield is great! And that board is awesome!
Andy Anderson is carrying Mullen's torch of being an innovator and a game changer in skateboarding, the very first board he designed showed me that.
The board is one size, right? What size trucks do you put on it? I've got 8.25 trucks... would they work?
Yes they will work👍🏽I skate 8.25 on mine with regular dragon wheels and its a great combo.
I've waited a long time for the next iteration of skateboard. A couple years back I remember walking into a bike shop to buy grips for an art project bike I was working on. Everything my BMX buddies talked about wishing they had on their bikes had come to pass, they're almost alien compared to the bmx bike I was painting. This skateboard is that. I wanna sand one down, put some custom art on it and paint up some grip tape. That thing is rad!
This board is awesome. Definitely getting my hands on one!
Had to pause the vid to comment. But regarding the graphic; the lore behind the item the dragon is holding runs along the lines of "whoever possesses this item [i forget its name] has the power to create ( / destroy) anything they can imagine." Andy explained it in a vid a long while back :)
Watching that monster flip progression was as tense as Chris Chann's Dragon flip video ages ago. That was sick.
In my opinion if you are catching it with your front foot while it’s almost vertical like that it counts, especially the one you fell on
What a great vibe and content, thnx guys.
Thank you
nice video and i like the new skateboard from Andy Braille
Glo was vibing with that board. Nice sesh.
Need to see Mullen ride this board
What size trucks do you need for the board
Ordered mine on Black Friday I'm so excited to check it out as a beginner
That’s why I used to like the Frankie Hill bulldog boards. The flared out spot made it easier to kick flip.
This brings me back to when twin-tail boards appeared back in the late 80's. Mike Valley was it? With the cartoon farm art? I need to get one of these decks.
Instant late 80's vibe from that shape. (Say you're old without saying you're old moment)
hahahaha true
This is probably going to be my next board. I've always skated element but i really wanna try this deck.
It's like an 80's board and a modern board had a baby. That concave looks deep and the shape reminds me of a late 80's Gonz. Thinking I might give one a try. Website says it's an 8.4" so I'm guessing that at the wide parts.
Once Andy said how much he liked the vajra in the old peralta’s graphics and now he uses his board and mind as one
Ordered mine from dark slide on the 2nd and waiting for it to arrive.
Me too, they charged me but haven't even sent a confirmation email or responded with an update.. kind of a bummer, could have waited till it came out and gotten it faster than pre-order..
Firstly ollie and shuvit last week. All because of braille
That's awesome!
Beautifully constructed
Thanks
That is piece of art. Skateboarding is ART.
