Andy Anderson Breaks Down His Board Setup!

He takes after his skate mentor kevin harris. He's not even remotely close to mullen as far as style. Go watch kevin and see andy's skate mentor in action.

I started skating again and have been watching this guy Andy and I’m thankful for how passionate he is. It gives me something to also re believe in again and I will abso-****ing lately want to get that board when it comes out. Thanks Andy and Crob 🙏🇺🇸🍻

[@bmwolfe2786]

I love how truly interested Andy is in the sport and the board tech. It’s the difference between the average person and the folks that stand out. You need to truly care enough to want to spend the time required to do something incredible; and you need to be interested enough to be able to ask the questions that no one else did. You have to be deeply in love with what you’re doing, but then have to drive to pursue it. My guy has it all lol. Andy seems like a pretty rad dude.

He is open minded. Incredibly creative. Probably my favorite skater today. Love watching him skate with so much freedom.

[@PHeMoX]

Heck yeah, Andy is awesome! Also, his board is A M A Z I N G. Not even joking, it's amongst my favourite boards I've skated so far (I've got the 8.45" one). Yes, you do need to adjust to how it's not a popsicle and yes the wide wheelbase might not be for everyone. But the shape is crazy awesome.

He skates so many styles that the biggest complaint about his videos is that they don't stay in one lane. Like if he decided to put out a handrail part and a flatbar part and a curb part and a bowl part and a part of just circus tricks and flatground, he could.
