I met Andy while skating the vans park in California. He's 100% the same in person that he is online. Really genuine dude. He was drilling the same trick over and over, trying to land it. Super passionate about not just being able to do the trick, but to be able to repeat it. We BSed a bit and he really seemed like a good dude. At one point, someone slipped out in the bowl and knocked themselves out cold, started convulsing. As a crowd gathered around the bowl and the EMTs showed up, Andy made a point to get people to clear out and give the guy / paramedics some space. He riding his own wave for sure, but I really respect him for it. When I went to leave he dapped me up and gave me a hug. He a good dude.
Same here, saw him at macba some months ago. He was working on some trick on the upper ledge and being real chill and friendly to people if they came to chat with him.
Not making money of the skate vids he appears in? Of course he is. He's selling himself. his skateboards, his helmets, his shoes, his brand. How may not be receiving a cheque directly for the appearances but its this exposure that has made him a multi millionaire many times over. Andy Anderson is an extremely clever dude. Fair play to him I say.
When you do your homework, you realize that... The Bones Brigade always had the camera on them... Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, Christian Hosoi, Tony Alva...ext. There's tons of footage of them because people knew they were gonna be great. People see the greatness in Andy Anderson, And they are trying to capture it for time... Powell Peralta has a new face and it's Andy... He's the new Tony Hawk...
True but there was also about 95% less skateboarding content available at that time period.. so of course whoever was getting the footy at the time was getting HELLA footy & even if it wasn’t half as much footy as there is of Andy now, it would’ve seemed like so much at the time bc there wasn’t as nearly as much competition
@xiii.storee So, with there being more competician nowadays, to stay relevant, you need lots of footy... It's not watered down footage if you're seeing tricks that you've never thought of, and when you're seeing a skater, look at spots in a totally different way than ordinary skaters. So I'm in complete disagreements when it comes to too much footage. Also I loved the hip hop and skateboard comparison metaphor, But think about it like this some of the greatest rappers have the biggest catalogues, Unless they died at a young age, But even some of the greatest rappers that died young still a big catalog...
Andy has 3 different boards on the market now and they sell. So his exposure works. I also find that the you tubers cycle through other skaters too. Andy sometimes gets “sad” and needs time to recharge. He’s probably working on stuff now in private due to his Battle of the Berrics flop. I love watching Andy and I would never get bored of watching him.
Did you seriously not pay attention 2 anything that was said in the video. Stfu I h8 mfs like you. Get tf off the internet if u can’t take a joke. Uptight mf
@@xiii.storee Wow. What a wildly elevated response to a joke comment that your emotional intelligence couldn't handle. Reread what you typed and apply it to yourself. Also nobody is going to watch the full 8 minutes of some monotone voiced moon cricket that's rambling about nothing.
Bro is sketchy, but wearing a helmet every time he steps on a board is 100% what every skateboarder should be doing. Ive smashed my head Boardsliding a kink rail & dude you do NOT want that type of injury
He truly skates like how a gamer plays Tony Hawk Pro Skater. His trick selection is all over the place. But I wish I didn't see as much of him on RUclips so that I can be more surprised when I watch his next video part. He is a dope skater.
Andy anderson improvise allways with genuin flow...... And solid with the tricks..... A lot wish they could do that.......and making money...... Wise guy....
I feel like a problem with the skateboarding community is that some people got a problem with Andy andersons skating. Not talking bout u but other ppl. Not everyone needa skate the same and if we do that's kinda lame imo
He's aight. I get a little burnt out on him sometimes. Seems like kind of the same formula over and over imo. Can't deny that they get some killer sessions in some of those vlogs tho
I've been skating since 88' back when street skating was in it's infancy. Rodney Mullen laid out the blue prints and every one you Young guys since 2000 have made skateboarding what it is today. Andy has the potential to be one of the Greatest to ever do it. Now that I'm a Collector I am investing in this kid. I got all his products. It's been one hell of a ride fellas 🍻 Remember, you're never too Old to skate. You get Old cause you stop skating.💯
@@atomdecayIf you started in 01 you absolutely did not witness the golden era. It was the mid 80’s Bones Brigade era. The 90’s were cool and skateboarding progressed but the fishtail 80’s had far more personality and fun
The Rodney Mullen footage from thps was compiled footage, but the beach parts are likely from globe “opinion” - 2001, all around good video with standout parts from Gershon Mosley and Chet Thomas as well
Milk it like the guy who posted this video😂… wake up! Dont you realize he’s literally posting and getting views like every channel he’s talking about by posting Andy’s name 🤦🏽♂️ Lol
Very good point on people using him for views. I agree with you, Andy seems like a cool dude and the fucker can skate, I’m just sick of people saying “Andy” over and over in all their videos
i feel like its mutually beneficial, theyre helping get his board out there especially with the tech behind the board. all of his boards constantly sell out, ive tried to buy each iteration each time and literally sold out everywhere on the drop. they just now restocked his first 2 models
I don’t know Andy, however if I am guessing he is one of those dudes that probably isn’t one to leave the good ones behind. I think he does that stuff one because he legit enjoys it. Two he likes the people he shoots with and enjoys being around them. Three I am sure he gets paid to some degree. Maybe not everyone. However I am sure he gets to pick and choose who are the paying gigs and who are not(the ones he does for free)
it's cool to watch him skate when you just discover him, but after a while you realize he kinda does the same shit over and over. Which is fine cause a lot of people do that but the rapper analogy was spot on. I got burnt out on watching dude skate a while ago and now everything I see of him is against my will. Vibes are a little weird too from what I can see in some videos. Being a spazz is fine in small doses but he's always going full skatepark hero mode. Performative type skating. I bet he used to be a demon when girls pulled up to the park lol
I cracked up when he knocked over dudes scooter and then just kept going without saying shit. I agree his fashion sense is trash, with a helmet on top of it all. Phenomenal board control and seems like a dope dude. Just needs to work on that switch! As far as everyone using him for views, I feel like it’s not as bad when Dan does it cause they’re both on Powell so it’s kind of like brand promotion, but I generally agree with your sentiment.
You totally have a point about too much content being a bad thing my dude. I'm a musician and just a huge fan of music in general and if a band I really liked consistently released new music, I would probably lose some of that that joyous feeling of "OH! They dropped a new single/album!". It's that fine balance with most things where you want the "hype" to stay alive and if you post too much content, you run the risk of losing some of the hype....But if you don't post/release stuff fast enough you can also miss the hype train as well. It seems to be a delicate balancing act of being consistent yet not oversaturating the market. Good video my dude, keep it up! +1 Sub
The title, for this video should be: “ My Andy Anderson, Clickbait video” or “ I can do it a darkslide, and I want people to know that I can do a darkslide” Lol
Andy is an all around the board skater can skate anything thats what i like about him, just like ishod wair skates everything. Id pick ishod over nyjah any day.
Around here every goober skate dad has his board. I see that shape and I know the guy on that board is going to spend the whole day trying to figure out how to back 5050 the lowest qp at the park
Absolutely respect Andy 👍 However you are 💯 correct, I'm already sick of him. One of the huge reasons for this that I don't think you mentioned which is that Powell has put out over a half dozen different shapes and graphics for Andy, yet I can't even buy a Chris Hiett or a Mathew Wilcox deck . They're blowing up his profile way to much, using him as a cash cow..
Agree with people just treating him like puppet to get views. Andy bank account prolly 6 figures east,,, pushing 7 maybe so he probably doesn’t care about them making $ off his skating
Lets be honest, the kid is quite egocentric and has been done a tone of disrespectful moves at batb and mano a mano and people in general, you can see it with that old lady he almost whiplashes lol. He just doesnt care anything else besides proving he is diferent lol
comparing him to da baby bro no skating is DIFFERENT we can all yell into a mic he loves moving his body and releasing ENERGY dababy creates negative energy... we all know
he would be liked a lot more if there wasn't an overload of videos. he's extremely talented but i think he's too weird to understand how to put together a good part. he's kind of like a less kooky version of mike v, if mike v decided to learn real tricks. still a kook but a lovable kook in a good way.
It’s very weird that he wears a helmet. He has the best balance any skater in history has ever had. He doesn’t skate down huge stairs at all ever. Makes zero sense. Get rid of it.

I had a similar experience when I met him. He's definitely an amazing person.
That’s why people gotta *wear helmets*
Same here, saw him at macba some months ago. He was working on some trick on the upper ledge and being real chill and friendly to people if they came to chat with him.

Andy's trash and over marketed don't insult the greats by comparing them to an Instagram model
@@alec1995AT Yawn. I will definitely compare Andy to the greats, and that's because he is building what he is doing on their foundation.

Making fun of the way he looks right off the rip. Hard to take you seriously.
well it was nice having you 👋
Yes and you've never made fun of anything because you're a saint
Ugly people are typically defensive of others.
@@mcelsyke its a bad look when you are trying to praise someone, it comes across as pathetic. Especially when you look the way this guy does lmao
Anderson is truly amazing.
Did a guy wearing headphones on his head like Princess Leah seriously just try to knock Andy Anderson for wearing a helmet…?

He's got 0 switch game. You're not gonna be a modern legend if you can't skate switch.
@@ChipSuey207 Real Talk.. I know a legend when I see one.
I've been into the game since most Legends were just Lil Grommets.

Opinion is so underrated, I love basically every part in the vid bar Danny Gonzales.
@@mcelsyke the youtuber? he skates?
Andy’s already GOAT’d and he’s still goin.
Richard Pryor stopped using the n-word after he went to Africa. Give it some thought.
Nah
I really fux wit Andy but they definitely milk him for content. There will be a period where the community will catch on and get tired of it.
people like it, that's why they milk it. you're basically describing trends.
Milk it like the guy who posted this video😂… wake up! Dont you realize he’s literally posting and getting views like every channel he’s talking about by posting Andy’s name 🤦🏽♂️ Lol

He seems like a really genuine and thoughtful dude, which sucks because that shit isn't core. Powell pushed him into the spotlight too quickly.
he's changing the game..... making people look at skating from a different perspective
it's cool to watch him skate when you just discover him, but after a while you realize he kinda does the same shit over and over. Which is fine cause a lot of people do that but the rapper analogy was spot on. I got burnt out on watching dude skate a while ago and now everything I see of him is against my will.

Very well said. Couldn't agree more
Met him today. Super down to earth and genuine
the man is a beast

youre a great RUclips, keep making these videos, the start where u clowned Andys helmet had me dead
