@@NkaVidsSkateboarding I wanted to ask this but I didn't want to be disrespectful. its cool when you want to ask something but don't at the same time, but then someone else does, and its a win win, you get your answer and you don't have to chance any disrespect, or come off ignorant. Cheers man🤟🤟
@@If_the_shoe_fits530 I think you should ask, people like to talk about their history and probably like it when you take interest in their culture, helps keep culture alive.
I wonder whats its like to enjoy just a single day of your existence. I watch your videos and get joy and depression because I know ill never have the smiles you guys have.
I've been out of Houston for some years now, but I have never seen the ditch as dirty as this. You couldn't get the full experience. Now, you NEED to go back for a Turkey Jam. So much fun. There also used to be a summer jam around July 4th, the Beer Jam.
Yes, It is very tempting to drape Spanish moss over your head like it is hair, but you’ll only make that mistake once. Usually it is full of chiggers that will sneakily latch on to you and make you itch like crazy hours later.
Andy and his buddies are truly Artisan Skateboarders. Fusing old school, new school and the matrix to bring us whatever it is we are watching in this video. Absolute banger NKA as always. Appreciate you boys. 🙏
Every video with Andy in it gets a "like" always. In the end, the video never fails to keep me smiling and watching until the end. Most skateboarders are predictable with their tricks video after video. But for Andy skateboarding is always at least one or more tricks new that I have not seen. The skateboarding spots are unique and awesome to see. For example in this video with that snake run skateboard park 15:10. I was thinking maybe some slash, carve, and grinds but there are some great fly-outs and a lot of ollie. Thank you.
EZ7 was our local spot growing up in the 80s! Toad Loves Zorlac! I wish it was clean, so y'all could have had the full experience. The ditch is sloped, you can get "7 easy tricks" before you have to bomb the canal.
Andy makes me wanna skate. And Nigel doing the video is amazing. Nigel should run Andy's channel. Yall could get millions of millions subscribers. But I just wanted to thank yall, yall make me wanna skate. I'm on dialysis and cant really skate to much. Well actually I just got a board and I'm trying to learn to ride. I fell hard off it the other day and with my kidney disease its taking g some time to heal. But I'm gonna get back on it. All I want to be able to do is, ride around a skate park and go up and down ramps. That's it
oh man thats crazy i was just there! i wonder if yall were there before or after me, when i skated ez7 none of that mud or dirt was there in the bottom section (i think i was there march 2nd)
Hey Nigel, I love the vids! I really think you should consider just filming on the normal iphone video mode, the background blurring of the cinematic mode on iphone is super distracting and actually gives me a headache for some weird reason. Just a thought... keep it up my man!
i remember this skatepark vlog from a while ago as soon as i saw andy bring the broom out, i was like wait a second is this a repost or are they reenacting everything lol
That last trick.. was that a brand new trick?? ... may I suggest to name it; the A-frame. Cause it's and A-ndy trick & his legs are like an A-frame when he's in the air.
one thing I've been wondering more and more about DIY spots like this, can skaters feel the difference between what kinds of paint artists use? I have to imagine a really thick coat of high quality paint makes the friction interaction entirely different
Your info is incorrect. It grows in all the southern states, including Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, North and South Carolina and even in southern Virginia.
So I'm not 100% who did tha first "ollie‐kickflp"....it was either natas or Mullen...but I think that it was mark Gonzales who was tha first to put it on a video...same thing with tha first hand rail its between...either natas or tha gonz....
There's the classic kickflip where you kinda hang ten and use one foot to flip the board without actually popping the tail, then there's the kickflip we know where you Ollie then flip with your front foot. If I'm correct, Rodney mullen invented the Ollie kickflip by accident when he was trying to Ollie. I'm pretty sure that's how the history goes.
Watonga is not easy to skate. It’s steeper than it looks here and the paint makes it slick and your board can run off into the river. It kinda sucks if you aren’t good
Nigel looks native af. Is he native ?
Why yes, yes I am. Colville Confederated Tribes from Washington State. 💯💯💯

The Spanish moss was once used for stuffing pillows and mattresses
The 1978 built skatepark sign gave me goosebumps, I was born '83 and there is something magical about that skate spot
it's Spanish Moss... we have it here in Florida also
amazing music
I can’t believe I got to see Andy and the gang skate at EZ in Houston! They are all so crazy talented!!
The stuff on the trees is called Spanish moss.

Best videos ever thank u Nigel and Andy
Ayyy wild switchguy sighting he shreds
Think that's Spanish moss on the trees. Seen that driving to Florida once we got far enough south. It's really cool
yep
Yep. Spanish moss. Not technically a moss…it’s closely related to pineapples. It definitely lends a trippy vibe to a place.
I thought it was lichen, but Spanish moss is more close
Carries parasites in it, definitely cool.

cool spot Nigel. Andy, inspiring as always

Loving this Texas trip thrown in with some old footy. Nigel your a legend. 👏👏👏
This was a rad day! Ez7 is so much fun! Apparently chalmers was one of the first documented to hit that ditch ollie into the bank
Great video. You guys are monsters. Andy’s an alien

Yes at the end of Skatevisions video gonz does a backside kickflip over that channel to disaster and pulls it off. 1st ever filmed on a big board.
This is so amazing
That DIY spot was gnarly af. Andy's skating is always a blessing to watch. Love your videos man. Love what you do

Looks fun 🤩
Nigel man , I love you, you are such a humble dude :D Thanks for keepin it reel all ways bro. Thanks for takin care of andy too :)

Sick,still on the Andy train
Awesome vibes bro :---)
Love the shirt Andy….I’ve been on the hunt for Chin for over 30 years ,had no luck finding him,but had plenty of fun on the hunt…cool vid

As always a great video Nigel! Seriously this has to be my favorite channel on RUclips. 👍👍
I love that Nigel noticed the Oaks...
That's "usnea" a beard lichen
Sic vid bro !!!
Eugene Oregon has a great skatepark. Will you guys make your way over here?
19:44 that line man
You’re in my backyard! That’s Spanish moss in the trees
Sweet steez, but if you were to clean out that other wash out side......a lot of clean sweet fun
Nice
Is Andy working on a new board Shape?

What was that ender at the old bowl? Fs 360 sal flip fly-out?
What happened to the flying banana shoes?!
That looks like a different board shape Andy is riding
oh man thats crazy i was just there! i wonder if yall were there before or after me, when i skated ez7 none of that mud or dirt was there in the bottom section (i think i was there march 2nd)

@7:30 is the most hilariously classic andy line
cochrane ftw!
i remember this skatepark vlog from a while ago as soon as i saw andy bring the broom out, i was like wait a second is this a repost or are they reenacting everything lol
The OG EZ7 ditch was also in an early Powell vid. I forget which one.
Did Andy ditch his shaped board?
Stuff in the trees is called mistletoe it’s bad for the trees 🌲
Andy what size wheels were you using?🛹🐐
andy is definitely going to make up a few tricks over his career
Andy amazes me everytime i see his skating🔥 sick filming tho
Yeas seeing him get creative is rad
That last trick.. was that a brand new trick?? ... may I suggest to name it; the A-frame. Cause it's and A-ndy trick & his legs are like an A-frame when he's in the air.
Gangsta James H-Town
The Plans on the tree's the Name is tillandsia usneoides nice Video
one thing I've been wondering more and more about DIY spots like this, can skaters feel the difference between what kinds of paint artists use?
I have to imagine a really thick coat of high quality paint makes the friction interaction entirely different
Hope you guys checked out the eastend diy
seems pretty clear the formula works so.. MORE ROAD TRIPS!
Oh Look! It's Andy and Randy (R[ed] Andy). 😁😜
Where can i find the photographers work at? I wanna see his footage!
I keep seeing Andy riding that prototype shape, I really wonder when it's gonna come out!
aye men i love your vids, foreeaaal. I just don't like this digital focus thing u use lately man :P mayb try a DJI osmo or something. Much love!
The stuff on the trees is lichen
Stuff hanging form the trees are Spanish moss
Plant is Old man’s beard, survives on air. Its good for starting a camp fires
What state is that in???
tell andy hi for me
Who are u
We need to see John Branford again
*bradford
i feel like i have seen jason park skate this.
Those Trees look a little bit like alfalfa
Randy Manderson, Flandty Shmandrsohn, Candy Kandeersons
Yall need an atlas 80v leaf blower and electric broom. Knock that big spot out in minutes 👌
Harbor freight and get the replacement warranty!! Lol
EZ7 in reality is not so easy. its always full of dirt. nice, new additions since i was there a few years ago
its spanish moss i think. :)
Stuff is called Spanish moss. It only grows in Florida and southern Georgia.
...and Texas. Thats houston homie
We some moss that also grows on trees here in BC, it can be bright green, we call it oldman's beard. I'm sure Andy has some near his home too.
Your info is incorrect. It grows in all the southern states, including Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, North and South Carolina and even in southern Virginia.
It's called old man's beard you are a Canadian you should know this!!
So I'm not 100% who did tha first "ollie‐kickflp"....it was either natas or Mullen...but I think that it was mark Gonzales who was tha first to put it on a video...same thing with tha first hand rail its between...either natas or tha gonz....
17:23 someone called 911 because Andy was murdering that classic skatepark
This may aswell be andys channel at this point.
I thought Rodney Mullen did first kick flips
There's the classic kickflip where you kinda hang ten and use one foot to flip the board without actually popping the tail, then there's the kickflip we know where you Ollie then flip with your front foot. If I'm correct, Rodney mullen invented the Ollie kickflip by accident when he was trying to Ollie. I'm pretty sure that's how the history goes.
Yeah and gonz did em in Street
hahahah SPANISH MOSS
what's with the music lol? I miss the more complimentary chill beats you used to play in the background, this is kind of distracting
Watonga is not easy to skate. It’s steeper than it looks here and the paint makes it slick and your board can run off into the river. It kinda sucks if you aren’t good
That’s Spanish miss growin on the trees ☠️
