Andy Anderson Is Back! | The Nine Club - Episode 331

[@thenineclub]

There's some spoilers in this episode so if you want to watch Andy’s new part first, follow this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIPNYmSvj7Rsec0si=WUL7YwOLvA2oloU9

[@ClutchDumars]

I've been watching skateboarding vids since Blind Days when I was a teen, that part Andy just put out was one of the single most creative things I've ever seen done. That was true Art, belongs in the Smithsonian of Skateboarding.

[@GazzBassfusion]

A good episode would be proffessor schmid and Andy on the same episode and Andy explaining his board to him, that would be amazing

[@MycoMatty]

​@@GazzBassfusionthat would be pretty cool but the Professor likely already knows exactly what he's working with. Also, Paul doesn't press Powell Peralta boards. So even if he had some input for Paul it's not like Paul could really help him. Although it would be interesting just to hear how he thinks about certain things and how Paul translates it.

[@ShreddieMercury]

@@thenineclub I’m waiting for the day him and Rodney have a session together….on video of course! The world needs to witness that.

[@GazzBassfusion]

​@@MycoMattyI know Paul doesn't press powell boards but it would be cool to hear his thoughts flight boards construction and why Andy has it that shape.. I'd be curious just to hear if he has any helpful ideas Andy can use..

[@devillenunes]

It's pretty cool to see how the haters, including myself, got swayed to love Andy Anderson. At first, a lot of people, me included, didn't really get his whole vibe. His unique style and quirky personality made him stand out, and not always in a good way. But as time went on, his insane talent on the skateboard and his genuine niceness started to win everyone over. Andy's skills are off the charts, and he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet. Bit by bit, even the toughest critics, like me, started to appreciate what he brings to the table. Love you Andy

[@authenticandyanderson]

Daaamn Deville !! Straight from the heart ! Love you man !! Thank You

[@itmeurdad]

Get a room you two! I agree with Deville and I'm actually sort of selfishly sad Andy's going to win over haters. For those of us who've been day ones, I think he always felt like our own little secret. But any and all love is well deserved and long overdue. Andy embodies virtually every single thing I personally love about skateboarding: individuality, passion, and creativity. I believe only good things can come from more people coming to understand that.

[@josiahamaze]

I've always had a dislike for you Deville for some reason and couldn't figure out why but noticed in NKa vid at the premier that you seemed happier and a bit more trustworthy. Maybe Andy is helping you grow

[@NkaVidsSkateboarding]

Thanks for introducing us Deville. The world would not be the same without that intro 😂🙌

[@MoikeOI]

Ahh a true believer

[@benitofranklyn4237]

I still think Natas' two Santa Cruz parts were the most influential for modern street skating (Yes more than Gonz and Rodney)

[@darude]

I started skating way before Andy was born, then was on a “little” hiatus for a couple of decades.🤦🏻‍♂️ Now I’ve skated again for 6 years and meeting Andy and having him in my corner is such a huge privilege and I’m inspired by him more every video I watch and every chat we have! I had a twin board before, too, but getting his Heron 2 changed it all for me and now I have my own board inspired by it and I’m extremely happy every time I step on it. Much love Andy and much love Nine Club for enabling these kinda deep dives with the best people!

[@recession81]

We need you on the nineclub

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

Respect. 🫡 bro. Same I was 12 and already had been skating for 5 years when Andy started skating. I quit skating around age 20 and had a hiatus through high school played football it took all my time. But now I’ve been skating for 4 years after a 10 year hiatus. And I keep getting better way better than when I was young, but I skate a different way now. Awesome to see others always that are similar and remember how much they love skateboarding and bring it back into their life. It’s an addiction for sure. - a positive one

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have Rodney Mullen give commentary as he watched Andy's new video part?

[@freakymalik]

Man, my thoughts exactly!!!

😂 yes lol

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

Even better to have the original Powell team all of them watch it and commentate

His love for skateboarding is a sight to behold. Amazing skater and human being.

You have to remember it's all on camera. Behind closed doors he could be evil.

[@paulseitz672]

I bought the grip tape last week and had it shipped to Australia. I couldn't find it in any AU shops; I may be the first one down under to have this tape. Setting up my new Chocolate board on Friday night. Just in time for my 61st birthday!

[@B.E.C.K.]

[@paulseitz672]

@@josephdutaillis6660 I bought it from the Powell website - Skate One. Shipping was more than the tape but it arrived within a week. Board looks great, only time will tell if it speeds up my progress.

[@TheCamojorel]

Appreciate the shoutout Andy! Hope ya come again soon! Chris and Kelly it was nice meeting you guys! The premiere was so much fun! It totally made my day, got to meet Andy and Dan, and then to accidentally discover how to finish a trick even Rodney Mullen was trying to figure out? It was a great day. Last year too! Filming the Levi Loffelberger courthouse clip… It’s been so much fun! Andy tried not to spoil it, so I won’t either, but that trick has potential. Can’t wait to see how far he takes it. Stay safe and keep skateboarding dank!

[@MrBlazinerday]

As the parent of a skateboarder i cant express in words how important it is for pro’s to wear helmets. Andy helped me convince my son to wear his. Every time he tried to say that most skaters dont wear helmets i go back to andy anderson and tony hawk.

[@JFLY78]

Smiled ear to ear for the whole 12 minutes of Crazy Wisdom, Andy is a phenom and such a likable dude!

[@firstlast4516]

AA is changing skating and it can't be ignored anymore, his latest part is going to inspire the next generation for years to come :)

[@tripas421]

Not me at 1:30am with a huge bowl of baby carrots watching this until the end like butter because Andy is so easy and fun to watch 💯✨

[@williamholmes7529]

Ten to 1 in the early hours of the morning in the UK. Was going to bed, I'm now on on my third beer watching Andy grind a huge rail coated in gorilla tape. This man is the genuine article 🤘

[@OLDGUYSK8R]

lol. That was gold.

[@Shay-dn7cz]

Listened at work, rushed home to watch the part, now watching the interview. I LOVE ANDY he is such a true artist on a skateboard.

[@chiHAWKShky]

This guy is the definition of authentic. What a genuine guy

[@r3so1ute]

Been an Andy fan for a long time, he always reminded me of one of my hometown friends. So cool to see him grow as a skater and professional in general, really inspiring to see.

[@termikes174]

lol. I have an old sk8 bud that is just like Andy as well, even looks like him.

[@Spartan-301st]

Andy is one of the reasons I picked up a board for the very first time at 28 years old. He made it look easy and fun. And while I’ve found out how hard skating is, it’s just as fun as he made it out to be. Absolutely loved his part 🛹

[@tomas746]

Yeah you’re definitely the target audience

[@Official_Keif]

Andy’s our Canadian national treasure.

[@justaname2422]

Been a skater since I was like 7 or 8 and thought I grew out of it and was mostly just longboarding for the last 10 years thinking I was too old to pick it back up. Andy has reignited my passion. Thank you Andy!

[@ericdavis9992]

The way Andy sees skateboarding is truly amazing he’s a cool dude.

[@Spartan-301st]

Honestly, the break down of “what do I own from this part?” was profound and smart. Skaters don’t make money from video parts that take months if not years to film. They, hopefully, make money from people being stoked on their skating enough to buy the products they use. I’m not a big collectibles guy, but I do enjoy collecting decks which have personal/artistic meaning to me. His ABD collabs is a smart idea, might pick up a pack of cards just to support!

[@authenticandyanderson]

Thank you !!!

[@Spartan-301st]

@@authenticandyanderson you bet, Andy! Thanks for getting me excited to skate

[@youtubedeletedmynamewhybother]

Took a slam gonna be out of action for atleast 2 weeks. Perfect time to catch up on these podcasts. Andy is a Legend man, dudes got such a good vibe too.

[@svartiske3283]

This is like a multi-part symposium in an art history class, breaking down a performance art piece. The end (of this video) does a good job describing Andy's two-year timeline of experimentation with wheels, board shapes, and trick concepts and approaches. This story provides background and context to the composition of the live release show (on NKA's channel, or PP). That installation was a fantastic concept brought to life, with exceptionally relevant artifacts: the skateboards--the egg, the vajra--and the progressively evolving deck shapes. Andy Anderson is an absolute artist. Now it's time to rest, friend. We did it. (I mean you did, really)

[@Leperus]

Andy is always such a great guest, I wonder if Powell sells a complete of his with the nano cubics and the grip tape? If they dont they should.

[@Spartan-301st]

It’s a no brainer, they really should. An Andy complete, with maybe a slight discount because every component comes from SkateOne themselves, would sell major numbers.

[@Dwyy__]

Smart idea

[@deadbeat-vc9kg]

Also need an 8.25 model. The models they have are canoes.

[@justinmorter3507]

Nano cubics are an incredible wheel, great urethane and theyre made in SB. They really helped me learn to skate the way I do and ill never need another kind of wheel. Thanks for your innovation andy

[@patricksumner2109]

The new part was fucking amazing 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@honkeykong9592]

I’m here because the grip line theory, bruh I never thought I’d see a skater using this. I had some shoes that left marks and I’d do tricks on a buddy’s board to help him out. This dudes a skate scientist, I love it.

[@acidod]

Can't wait to catch the premiere tonight! Andy is such a good dude and it's always a pleasure to see him on The Nine Club!

[@Yungbeck]

I like how nerdy it got about skateboard shapes, flicks and tricks and stuff. I love detailed analysis like that.

[@matts9697]

I keep hoping that one day we might see Andy and Rodney sit down and talk skating. I won't hold my breath, but that would be amazing!

[@LUKE_LINDGREN]

As guitarist, AA comparing music theory to grip tape/flip trick theory is genius. It makes a ton of sense, and will probably help a lot of people progress faster. Also the part was seriously insane!! A vert line? Wtf.

[@benitofranklyn4237]

Everybody who is old af, remembers Natas when he sees this stuff and thinks about getting back into skating: Start tomorrow dude, I'm 41 and getting back into skating at 36 after over 10 years of break, is one of the best things I've done I'm my life. Get yourself some big, soft wheels, fast bearings, don't wast your time with complicated flip tricks and just start riding again. I have an 8.125 with 55mm 90a's if I want to ride to the park and do some tricks and a 8.25 with 56mm 80a's for cruising through the city. If you just go to the park you can go as hard and small as you want for your wheels, but if you want to go street, big, soft wheels will save you so much frustration, back and knee pain.

[@firstlast4516]

I remember The Donger drew lines on his grip for tricks too, he broke down how he kickflipped in Thrasher once and that shit stuck with me for the past 30 years haha

His yoga mat handrail was illegal and he should be arrested.

[@preusbs]

@@galvanizedgnome It wasn’t his yoga mat handrail nor was it illegal 😂 I believe you meant to say his yoga mat wrapped around a handrail was legit. What he achieved was no more illegal then someone walking down the stairs, he didn’t damage any property, didn’t get hurt, and eloquently landed a legendary trick like a professional. He landed a trick that he’s been dreaming about and you think he should be arrested for achieving his dreams? He will be celebrated and will be an inspiration for everyone not to give up on their dreams. So wipe your mouth

Andy’s part is so rad, I’m glad yall got him back to go in depth on it! I’ve been on those nano-cubics since they came out, I have a Vajra on 52s I love, and a 101 natas deck on 60s, and a panther 2 on mini-cubics, so I really felt seen in this one lol. I do feel the need to be the trivia police on the dark slide though - Gonz did one caveman before Rodney, but Rodney developed the flip in and out.

[@joost9922]
