Skating With Brian Anderson: Epicly Later'd
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Since 1996 Brian has constantly evolved as a pro skater. When his first video part came out in Toy Machine's Welcome to Hell, he came out of nowhere and held his own along side some of the heaviest names in skateboarding at the time. By the time his part in Jump off a Building came out, he was pro. To continue his ascension to legend status, the following year he was awarded Thrasher's S.O.T.Y. He moved on to Girl Skateboards, and his skating got even better. Patrick says it best in the intro when he talks about Brian being a regular dude who happened to get the opportunity to become pro, and didn't kook it.

Hey kids, at 3:23 pay attention to the way Donny Barley ordered that western omelette at sal's diner. He's a very considerate young man and an excellent example to all of us... Spread the word...
fuck yeah I first saw this years ago and even though BA is one of my all time favourite skaters, the thing that stuck with me most is Donny Barley ordering breakfast. I don't know how everyone isn't this polite. BARRRRRLEY.
Isnt this expected? It's kinda sad that you had to point it out and remind people.
Your music is incredible. Cool to see you representing positivity and polite manners!
Being from that area... It's a Groton thing
Yea I dont see why that's a spectacular thing. Unless you're a degenerate asshole, you're probably going to order your food in a similar manner.
Yeah, finding out that he's actually gay, I had to rewatch this and it's so crazy. Now when they talk about him making excuses for not hanging out, you know why. You know why he was so close with Elissa. You wonder who all knew at the time of this when it was made. His sexual preference has no effect on his skateboarding. In fact, like a lot of them have said. Finding out he's gay makes him more rad. I'm just glad to see that BA can live his life without that weight on his shoulders of having to hide it from everyone and I love the support and feedback he has received throughout the community. Shows just another reason why skateboarding is such an amazing thing.
the people interviewed in the episode that probably knew while filming are elissa steamer, phelps, odell and jerry hsu.
4 sure...
Madeline Monahan My question exactly
@@mortarsquad having female friends or being bf with one doesn't mean you have to be gay. It was just a refference for this particular scenario. Why do you even care tho? looking out for a man?
@@j.w.213 I was answering some trump voter who deleted his comments, he was saying bad things about gays
"He was like man i just wanna smoke this bowl and i was like wo this dudes bummin"
Every time I come back to rewatch this I think about your comment and when Bryan actually says that and it cracks me up for no reason at all
Literally , got an ad after he said that
“I know you need to get stoned right now, you’re so hurt”
I was about 12 years old hanging out at Groton Skatepark during that rainstorm under the pavilion when donny rolled up to film this. Im behind the cameraman sitting on a bench eavesdropping on all this shit getting my mind blown. Too fucking sick to actually watch the footage now......
Watching these old videos is crazy now, you would never tell.
It's kind of funny when they're talking about him making excuses and now we know why, I'm So glad he's happy now and doesn't have to hide who he is on the inside.
BA holds it down for us tall skaters
fuck yeah.
jupp...
lol real shit tho...
this is super late and you probably won't see it lol but do you think height has any impact on skating? just wondering because I'm skate illiterate lol I just like to watch
@@kriggy11490 people say being shorter is better as your centre of gravity is closer to the ground, lots of pros are shorter however there is still lots of sick tall skaters :)
i love how jerry always has a cameo
Damn, I remember an interview with Muska from the 90's where he talked about "throwing rocks at the f****ts" that walked down the strip by his place from a balcony. Small wonder why BA waited to come out.
IDK why Muska has this "chill" persona that he's known for because he seems like a total dickhead, and I've thought that ever since that Toy Machine video came out and all the rumors about his behavior at the premiere.
Thank you so much for mentioning this! Important to keep these kinda people honest....
Come out to what? Word was out way before BA. It didn’t matter then, either
@@jasonweber5464 Sorry, but you're wrong on that. Rumors are one thing, but he definitely wasn't out yet when this video was uploaded. Vice sports has another video on him, specifically about him being a gay high-profile skateboarder. He specifically talks about being freaked out when he thought he might get outed before he was ready, or how hearing the f-slur all the time made him feel like it was really dangerous to even talk about to guys he knew for years.
Everyone said f** back then. Even gay people called people f*****
I think that skating a memorial keeps it alive. You know the purpose of it from the ground up, the locals will yell at you, yet here you are, young as fuxx.... living your life and enjoying the dream...
Skate, because life is meant to be lived.
You can see Ed is still hurt from all them departures
Seeing all that old skating footage makes me realise/remember how much the 90's rocked and were way more awesome then the 00's.
Crazy looking at the phones and 480p upload quality we had ten years ago!
Donny Barley seems to articulate BA's persona as skater better than anyone. I love hearing him talk of Brian.
BA is kinda a sleeper. He never gets mentioned with the top guys but you even watch his old parts On tap or yeah Right and that shit would be crazy for today. He does crazy lines with tough spots and on top of that can still feeble a 15 no prob.
And that's on homophobia
He’s on my top 5 skaters. Sick ass style
@@thisanthrope666 gimme a break. BA is quiet and doesn't wanna be in the limelight. Thats why people forget about him sometimes. And that's okay.
i feel like that has something to do with guys who have very common “normal” sounding names be overlooked in general. brian anderson, ryan smith, etc.
Always loved Brian Anderson and his varial flips.
i like the way chad muska is still the way i remember him; not one for words, but when it comes to skating he is top quality.
The San Francisco Streets were so barren back then. Packed to the brim all day everyday now.
I love getting these candid type narrative docs. Keep 'em comin.
My favourite skater ever. Love you BA.
i gotta alot respect for dudes like brian anderson i watched him and other pro's in the 90's which influenced me to skate in the 90's im still skating now and i always will be a skater
I remember that tour. I skated with you guys at More Skates in Lancaster PA. You guys were totally cool with me joining in the demo. I remember all the locals yelling get off the floor! Ed and Mike were atop a quarterpipe, they were both trying like "nose wheely" (Maldanados Words) tech trick on this flattop long pyramid, and I said to Ed do you care if I skate with you guys, he looked dead at me and said go for it. I was trying a benihana over this hip, at the time the trick wasn't well known, I remember Steamer asking what it was and me not knowing what it was called. It was a blast skating alongside these legends at the time. Thanks for having me, and thanks for making it memorable. Landing that trick and hearing the Toy Machine team going wild cheering was a great moment in an otherwise boring life. Thanks Ed!
Woah barley. I forgot about barley! Anyways, I hope the kids watching this realize how crazy these guys were. I know some of this stuff looks standard nowadays, but these guys kicked the door open for gnarly street skating.
Welcome to hell was a milestone in my life. 12 years old and learning how to skate, WTH stayed in my VCR 24/7. I loved BA's part and His awkward flow that seemed sketchy but actually wasn't because it was HIS style. Man I miss those days.
After watching this & checkin' out B.A.'s skating. He has now become one of my favorite skaters. Dude is pretty sick! Hope he has some success with 3D.
I lived in SF when BA was thriving there. Was always so stoked to see his tall ass skating down mission st.
Vice, I love these skate documentaries!!! 👍🍻
I basically learned 360 flips watching his part in Yeah Right over and over. They're just perfect, no steeze, none of that bullshit.
i don't skate but you gotta appreciate all art forms whether it relates to your life or not.. this guy is fuckin' great at what he does.. congratulations to him. knew his dream and made it happen!
"If he's gonna be happy, than I'm happy" Ed...so dope ✌🏻💨
OMFG Met Brian Today Holy shit best day Of my life BA 4 LIFE!
Man I was early 2000s skating was still super popular I was watching skating dvds most of which I still have. I can't believe this is 10 years old too.
You guys do a great thing, I remember the days of our first skateshop in London ontario getting my first Pro (Danny Webber , 'telephone 'ole) from CALIFORNIA BOARDS on Dundas East. Bloody cream..
Being from groton, he came to our skatepark today and just relaxed and skated, completely untouched. Not because it was a popularity issue (because he is god around here) but because it's fucking Brian Anderson, and the only thing better than talking with him about skating, is watching him skate.
100% born a raised in groton lived 3 houses down from his childhood home on gold star hill my mom used to baby sit BA when he was young he's the unsung hero of groton
Vice has some of the coolest vids ever, why did it take me so long to find these guys?
The pic at 23:12 was a demo they did in my hometown. I still remember her getting sick... Still the best demo I have ever been to.
I must have watched Welcome to Hell 500 times.
I watched it 3-4 times a day for a couple years, eating Captain Crunch and then skating.
Interesting to see him before he came out
One of my favorite epics
Brian Anderson so dope yo! He easily one of the best top 100! He is so understated. Feel like he got looked over a lot.
I was thinking back in 01 when they did the documentary on the hubba & emerica team from the ON video spring issue. Skip almost 11 years later & majority of the people featured on here were on that video, damn time passes quickly, my favorite skaters are getting older & more wiser & I miss the early era of skating when videos made you love to skate more each day.
amen brotha
so much more enjoyable watching this in one shot, thanks pat and vice.
One of the best Epicly Latered
"You see some Bozos skating down the street and you're like, ugh. But for *us* it's different. *We* *really,* *really* *like* *it.*"
That's some real talk right there.
Love his Steve Alba designed board. One of my influences. Pretty rad.
Man def my favorite skater never forget when the hartung bro had him come to my house in the late 90 fuckin awesome!
B.A has always been skater of the year.
When hes watching the skate videos in the mirror. Bro I was dying. Lmao.
This is awsome, thanks for posting.
I fuckin love his style, it's so smooth.
Groton, CT!!! Im in the town over! Fuck yeah, I bet he went to the same skate park.
Hes such a momma bear, love it
And ya I know people got sick of stair counting and rail chomping, but these guys also set the nar super high. This is around when skate videos went from casual skating with a few really wild tricks, to no-filler all gnarly tricks.
25:45, Jamie is nuts.. barefoot wow. Love this whole episode, Brian's hilarious.
Brian Anderson is an awesome guy I met him when I was a kid. I'll never forget it.
That s the best series ever,love it❤
My boy aaron and me were obsessed with welcome to hell. I had a pair of sheep skate shoes. The ed Templeton model of course.
Couldn't give one single fuck about this man's sexual preference. Seems like one of the coolest dudes on the planet. Definitely in my top five pick for best skaters of all time too. BA is the fucking man!
??? What happn
Im only am able to like straight ppl
i love ed's sincerity
Hella sweet & seems super down to earth .
Gnarliest dude, huge respect for him!
Ed and his wife where super cool Panama Dan had pop for days I loved Toy Machine their demos the monster board !
I've had the pleasure of meeting BA and I fanned out superhard lol. He's a rly nice, tall, softspoken, scary guy lol
I love him so much
I fucking love these epicly later'd(s)
props to donny barley for seeing BAs potential and getting him over to the coast and get him on toy machine
I was in the same position as him for a while, not as long but i was about 24.. just like him when i came out it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be.. everyone was still accepted me for who i was reguardless..
My prime skate Era. I grew up on brian Andersons part in Yeah Right
What an amazing story
man, im so stoked on this episode. shit was sick as fuck! as cheeseball as it sounds id love to get something autographed by BA
BA is the Tom Hanks of skateboarding.
EEEErrrrr.... No, he is gay, not a p3d0, but ok.
How badass is that he just came out of the wood works and ended up skater of the year. Elissa is rad to watch too.
One of the best skaters of all time
Do what you love love what you do
thanks man. this episode is dope because Brian is a local.-Groton is like 20 mins from my house. And NO i never seen him or Donny Barley. lol--I find it odd & weird that pro skaters DONT save more decks.esp considering they get 20 free decks a month, and most n90's skaters traded decks to eachother at all contest...Epicly Latere'd wishlist~~Steve Saiz--Jeremy Klein-Jovante Turner--Dune~~Eric Sanderson(old powell Peralta/Ban This era--Brian freaking Lotti (gYeah)-all those Hokus Pokus H-street dudes-The Donger,Colby Carter, Ray Simmons etc--RUDY!!! Rudy Johnson...~The Gav! Tim Gavin must be a full episode, Not a CRAPPY Ray Barbee 5 minute turd. that was awfull!~~Collin McKay----Jeff Grosso-Chet Thomas--Spencer Fujimato(sooo much style for a lil kid!)---Probably want Rudy & The Gav To be full episode since BOTH are amazing speakers who are entertaining to listen to..--Porbably cause BOTH are proud of theyre past and just good people...Rudy & The Gav are like posterBoys for my/our 90's way of being skaters with the way they talk etc,,that's probably why i enjoy Rudy on the crail COuch etc...NOt to mention how successful and smart The Gav is..much needed episodes...my bad if you made some of these and im unawares Patrick.....thanks :)
Such a quality RUclips channel....
great doc!
what did he mean by tapered tail that was his 360 flip deck
omg that hubba at the begining is freaking CLASSIC
Seems like Jamie doesn’t like people at first who have talent. Passed up on Malto too.
And didn't even watch Figgy's sponsor me tape.
JT is one of my favorites of all time just because when I was growing up he was my absolute favorite, and his old parts and his style are still amazing- I still think his part in Welcome to Hell is one of the best and probably my favorite of all time, BUT... he kind of seems like somewhat of a dick. The whole thing with him and Marisa Dal Santo, on one hand he gave her her first video part and hooked her up with boards and put out a guest model for her that sold really well, and he gave her a job at Black Box, but on the other hand, you have to wonder if she would have ended up going pro had she come up under someone other than the chief. I mean she won gold at X games what, three different times? And she had what's still regarded as the best female video part of all time (Strange World). But she never went pro? When people like Leticia Buffooni got all this success while being infinitely less fun or interesting to watch skate. Even Breana Geering is seeing more success than gnar-Mar ever did. Idk why I'm ranting about this stuff that has nothing to do with BA whatsoever though lol.
is that spot the remains of 90's classic EMB..it looks like..i remember watching Plan B videos specially Virtual reality and just after go skate sooo motivated
"I guess it is pretty disrespectful" lol understatement of the century
23:30 Rancho Alamitos High School that was my old High school wow thats awesome
love how muska talks down on jason dill being artsy n shit... look at him now tryna be artsy
I still have a ripped up old Emerica shoe that Brian Anderson signed for me back in like 01. Cool dude.
That run at the park was legendary. Anybody knows who the Ben guy he was talking about was, style's pretty awesome? After he talked about Nick Trapasso.
Ben Schroeder
He has been my favorite skater since Welcome to hell
He liked to "watch all his favorite goofie footed skaters skate regular with a mirror"...I sense a metaphor
Amazing.
Wow,what is that skatepark called towards the end?It looks like the funnest place I've ever seen!!!
What a legend
Nothing bad against Brian but now that we know his taste in men it makes sense the look he gave to man at :35-:40 at hubbahideout
SKATEBOARDING IS THE TIME OF OUR LIVES ©
That was a great watch. Seems like a stand up dude to boot too.
Dude.. Are you hitting rocks or debris in the first couple of minutes when you keep crashing? It looks like your board is making an abrupt stop and throwing you? Just curious? Loved this vid. Reminds me of all the crazy stuff we tried when I was little, and the "stable" ramps we used to build. I am shocked that I never broke anything. My friend Aaron always had a cast on some part of his body. Faving you! :0)
haha regular footed heath! that tripped me out for some reason
Skating hurts, theres allot of pain....but it can never compare to the sense of accomplishment having landed what is so difficult to do....most people dont get that feeling every day.
I CANT SMOKE N WALK DOWN THOSE STAIRS LET ALONE FLY ONNA SKATE BOARD DOWN IT💨
I loved Heath growing up. Nothing has changed...
BA is just so goddamn cool
I love this guy. I feel like this video didn’t get enough views
Great style.
