30th Anniversary Interviews Andrew Reynolds - TransWorld SKATEboarding

Both in style and substance, Andrew Reynolds set the table (or stair count) for modern day street skating.

[@planbskater1791]

reynolds is talking about himselfe like hes just some random skater but in my eyes he is also one of the most influential skaters of all time

[@biilybob1]

+planbskater1791 And why is that? Don't get me wrong he is a legend but there were better skaters from his primetime imo

[@j.t.lampila2173]

planbskater1791 he's humble

[@bennrich0691]

You just gotta love how humble Reynolds is.just one more reason why he's so legendary.

[@SelimxBradley]

Out of everyone, I look up to Reynolds the most. It's going to be a sad day when he retires.

[@arcade16]

+donnyinlakai561 For sure man. Nice speed3 btw. I have a Pu myself.

[@SelimxBradley]

Thanks dude. Appreciate it

[@arcade16]

What are your mods? Are you here in Florida? I'm fully bolted and running E-85. Makes a huge difference.

[@SelimxBradley]

Yeah man im actually in west palm. I'm fully bolted and run 93/E85 tunes from Freek.

[@arcade16]

Same but I'm tuned by Purple Drank. Looking to get the BNR S4 next year.

[@GameCentralTactics]

I hate how andrew doesnt think hes an influence. I wouldnt be skating if i hadnt seen him. Thank you andrew.

[@RageForSeven]

maybe it is a sign of humility?

[@HexYzeE]

+Brett Metivier I always think about Andrew when I'm skating, I feel more confident :) The weird thing is I don't know really why I Like him the most, maybe his style and his pop... The way he catches his kickflip is the sickest thing I've seen lol (sorry for my english, I do my best when it comes to the BOSS ;) )

[@j.t.lampila2173]

Brett Metivier he's humble bro

[@marcoswilson1613]

His baker 3 part blew my mind as a kid and still does

[@elmercyperro]

well said about gonz. it's hard to imagine skateboarding will ever undergo change the way it did when he was at his prime.. it was so new, and the field was completely open. gonz had the courage and ability to take things in a new direction..... interestingly, he did so despite the fact that he also wasn't a strong competitor. i can't think of a single competition that he ever won....

[@anonymoushadoww]

He brings humbleness, style and pure love to the game! He’s my most influential ever and will always be!

[@fgDAB]

LONG LIVE THE BOSS

[@satnamo]

Inspire by younger kids..just skateboarding, for skateboarding, from skateboarding. That's pretty humble for a great skater Andrew Reynolds

[@j.t.lampila2173]

I have to say Reynolds definitely inspired me to skate I'm from Fort Myers Fla. and when I found out he was from Lakeland fla. I was like WOW!! Even though he's like 2 years older than me he most definitely inspired me to skate hard!!

[@1nfamou5]

Fucking facts with that last quote.. "Gonz was like an alien or something you can't compare it.." lol

[@bleepblopbleepblorp9984]

The way he described seeing penny skate is the same way reynolds skating effected me complete mind blown and influence

[@elmercyperro]

i would also have to add natas to that list of greatest. it's hard to tell where gonz ended and he began. Or vice versa, for that matter. They were kind of like a two-headed monster or something...

[@theshapeofpunk2comee]

How about mullen

[@toastedandsloppy]

Thats pretty rad one of his favorites is wes kremer, such a beast

[@joshglanz]

This is one of the only few videos on KZbin with 0 dislikes..... And thats the way it should stay

[@8iskate]

Love the boss and penny

[@NickVineham]

Drew influenced me to skate stairs more!

[@yodadysmom]

What about Rodney Mullen ?

[@biilybob1]

+yodadysmom Too obvious maybe

[@tylercambron4352]

Rodney mullen really wasnt super influential for personal thoughts usually. But for skateboarding as a whole, he is the holy grail.

[@MrRichallen1984]

Not mentioning Rodney Mullen is a crime. Why Andrew? Rodney Mullen changed skateboarding forever.

[@JumboStevo]

He does have a right to have an opinion. His comment was pretty respectful as well

[@bakerboy2171]

Reynolds is the most influential skater of all time on my list

[@DarthIke77]

You are sort of correct. Alan Gelfand was the first to start doing them in pools but Mullen was the first to do them on flat which is honestly an entirely different trick.

[@canibull]

Reynolds signed my acorn for me at a kcdc demo in Brooklyn ny way the fuck back in the day

[@carverweeks]

This man is my fucking hero!

[@DarthIke77]

Well yeah, Alan Gelfand was the first to do them in pools. That was a "circus trick" at the time though. What Mullen did was revolutionary.

[@inaciowilll]

LEGEND.

[@MilfStew]

andrew is gunna be on these upcoming kids lists

[@terreseco]

What influenced your influence to influence others that influence?

[@bonsaihunters]

well put

[@smcisaac07]

anyone know the song playing in the background? sounds like new order

[@swagfordaaays]

cool interview

[@DouchedByDemocrats]

For instance, Muska is the rail guy, no question, Reynolds is the flip trick/gap guy, no question. That said, Reynolds comes a lot closer to approximating Chad's rail skills than muska does to approximating the Boss's gi-nor-MOUS f/s,b/s, etc.flip gaps

[@magn5988]

wait... no rodney mullen in top 5?

[@arnoldanimado9292]

same here

[@miguel79287]

His 5 most influencial skaters are so right!

[@TheBradyNation]

I love how he didn't even mention Rodney Mullen at all.

[@jescskate319]

tom penny bro all day

[@stalephish69]

New Order - Your Silent Face from Power Corruption and Lies album

[@EzequielPestanianena]

he´s not talking about who invented sakate, you miss the pont

[@commentsrdumb]

Mullens #3 on this Transworld list...#2 Hawk & #1 The Gonz.

[@gmac2558]

What about Gershon Moseley?

[@MrRichallen1984]

G Mac who?

[@percyzeppelin]

top bloke

[@isaiahmikael]

2nd! The boss!

[@DouchedByDemocrats]

This is actually RapedByRepublicans (someone hacked my account, though, and they had to deactivate it... so fucking pissed) anyway, it is hard to believe that they listed muska only two spots below Reynolds. personally I am not a huge fan of either (though they are both all time greats... they were late nineties and into the 2000's legends. its just that Reynolds has kept going and even, in some cases, getting better. I still think Chad's best part is fulfill the dream, I wouldn't say that the end is Reynolds best part...

[@matthebonnvonbon8089]

lol.. influence? influences? transworld? what about transworld? most influence? great interview guys

[@DarthIke77]

LOL, I'd like to see what The Boss thinks about your comment. He'd probably say that Mullen was above the list.

[@DKBover9000]

Mullen didn't come up with the ollie? Alan Gelfand did, I do agree that Mullen is influential though, sorry confused xD

[@MrRichallen1984]

Daniel Kerambrum-Bicourt Rodney Mullen invented every other trick. And who invented the Ollie is up for debate. Not sure what moron on the internet told you that.

[@aaronthereefer]

foreal

[@BamNewman123]

The reason I rekcon he didn't mention Mullen was because did he really have to? I mean Mullen is known by everyone in skateboarding because he essentially created street and tricks you do these days. He didn't have to mention Mullen because people know he is way above any of the list above...

[@halfcabsk8er1]

2:21 exactly how i felt until i came across baker/deathwish crew

[@misterwardle]

Tune at the start anyone?

[@matthewgorgoglione5492]

😳🏁🌵🔥

[@mountvernonskate5285]

Why was all the questions about influential stuff

[@ghoulbby]

I'm sure if he really had time to think about it and write it all down he would have said Mullen. This is an off-the-head interview.

[@mikemarrz3496]

no mention of Rodney Mullen in the 5 most influential? Not a bad thing just ALWAYS hear his name. I mean he did invent 80 percent of the flip tricks.

[@sk8erjon316]

And no mention of rodney mullen

[@SuperGhost145]

Gonz would have figured it out man.

[@TomorrowSkateboard]

Wes all the way man

[@migwelswanchez6679]

Andrew Reynolds really like new order huh

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Migwel Swanchez song name?

[@migwelswanchez6679]

Chris L temptation new order

[@repitboy1617]

Penny and Reynolds have almost identical styles.

[@geniusidiot4891]

No. ha

[@kunkushun1]

Suprised Mullen is never mentioned considering he made up 75% of our flip tricks lmao.

[@DarthIke77]

Gonz, Koston, Hawk, Penny, Carroll... No dis to Carroll but Mullen should definitely should be on this list before him. He basically invented all the tricks that these guys took to the streets. Without Mullen there wouldn't be modern skating. Gonz wouldn't have know how to ollie onto a rail.

[@esahcgihc]

the first ollie (not street ollie) wasn't Mullen though, not to sound like a ass, otherwise completely agree with your statement though.

[@traviscarver4708]

No Heath Kirchart...? Give me a break...

[@MrRichallen1984]

Travis Carver Heath style changed the game forever. It’s a crime not to mention him.

[@kestlerlikespie]

It's all opinion, though. Just like there's no such thing as the best skater or best part because everyone likes different things. Obviously those dudes are some of the most influential, but there are people out there who probably find dudes like Busenitz, Arto, etc to be more influential because those might be the dudes that they grew up watching.

[@Gunhud1995]

actually Alan Gelfand did the first ollie. Rodney just did it in the street. If it wasnt for alan then he wouldnt. just sayin hahha

[@DarthIke77]

Everybody's gotta give me shit for having top comment don't they. Even six months later ffs. All I did was say what I thought. I didn't care about likes or being right. I get a good laugh from everyone trying to tell me my opinion is wrong. It's an opinion dude. I don't need you to consider it valid. lol.

[@DarthIke77]

I am chill lol.

[@adultspectator291]

influence is used way too much

[@DarthIke77]

The only reason yall are disagreeing with me in the first place is because I'm top comment. Just stfu. I know it's HIS list. All I did was state my own opinion. Get over it.

[@anhiirr]

cause it is, "your silent face"

[@Xmen9735]

Gonz

[@3qtipkilla]

Anddddd mullen made the first flip trick...ever... so yeah...mullen is VERY influential you meant to say xD

[@DarthIke77]

smh, I don't even care about top comment; But its amazing how even the people who agree with you have to disagree with you when you're on top.

[@schland9]

why even bother he gave reasons for the list

[@leoneonlicht]

thrasher is still more sick though

[@B0NGERSON]

earn a spot in skateboard history then i'll consider your opinion valid.

[@bucketclips6093]

i though he was like 50

[@CRASSsk8s]

Congratulations on the Narcissism TWS.

[@3BALL4]

No mullen in top 5?

[@therealpoka]

opinions suck ey?!...but on the other hand, style wise..carroll > mullen

[@SkyesTurnBlack]

Why the hell are you getting all this ''shit'' so to say, you we're just expressing your opinion xD (i agree with you btw)

[@shaolinotter]

true, but he has no style which is obviously a big part of his decision.
