Andy Anderson: a Short Skate Film

“Balance - the flow of water, and the consistency of concrete. The ground, and the spaces in between. The simplicity of instability, and the complexities of flat ground. Riding the board, face down, face up, and face out. The purposeful objects of the city, plus the joy of play. The corners, sharp and round. Forwards, backwards, and spinning, all coming together.” - Andy Anderson

@@unclesam997 Explain dude?! Pls....

[@unclesam997]

@@KPark-hn8jf If you’re into skateboarding at all you know that there are much more creative skaters than Andy Anderson and much more artistic skaters. Guys like Evan Smith and Madars Apse (or even like Louie Barletta) are much more creative. Then guys like Dylan Rieder, Austyn Gillette or if you want transition guys Karl Berglind, Curren Caples, Ronnie Sandoval (Jimmy Wilkins needs to be here although vert and transition are somewhat different spheres) who just do stuff that’s beautiful. Honestly Andy Anderson seems kind of gimmicky to me. He does do some cool stuff but he’s not at the level of creativity, style, and difficulty that a lot of other guys are at, and it seems insulting to say that others are athletes while Andy is an artist when he’s less creative and visually appealing (which are the artistic qualities of skateboarding) than a huge number of other skaters.

[@topxsoul]

@@unclesam997 I think the way he mixes freestyle, transition, and street in itself is an art form. He’s not as steez as could be, and there are more creative skaters (personally, I like richie Jackson); however, I can’t think of any skater that is so versatile with the board. The art to me with Andy is how he can control the board in a very unique way and find comfort/balance in spots where other skaters may be struggling to stay Upright.

[@unclesam997]

@@topxsoul there are lots of other skaters who are much more versatile on the board. You said you like how he mixes transition and street (and freestyle but no one really does freestyle anymore) but so many guys do that and at a higher level. I mean just look at Daewon Song to bring up an easy example. Daewon is nasty everywhere. Cody McEntire is a great street guy that has super tech transition skills too. And honestly I’d say Evan Smith is the most creative skateboarder right now. Evan doesn’t do bullshit tricks but he still does creative tricks plus Evan is ridiculous in transition. Or Daan Van Der Linden. His street skating is incredible but if you watch him in a bowl it’s just as good (he's on antihero for a reason). Andy Anderson isn’t a horrible skateboarder, but I think he’s getting more hype than deserved.

20 year veteran of the skate scene here, never have i ever seen such a beautiful melding of videography and the love of skateboarding. This is hands down the best piece of skateboarding content to ever be made. Andy is a beautiful soul and i hope he blesses us with more masterpieces for decades to come.

[@regulator9268]

I was going to say the same thing. This is the best skate video ever. I watch it like 3 times a year.

[@55bolts]

48 year veteran of the skate scene starting in So Cal. Agreed and this film is aging well. If there is anything better it is Andy's Powell video. Video is outstanding and the music is done by Andy and a friend (The Keyboarders).

Don't forget a little a Natas too. Awesome video Brett, such a nice vibe, filming. And skating from Andy too ;) .

[@samtabor]

Soooooooooo gooooooood

[@chippedls_truck3436]

HOLY CRAP...it's like Natas, Rodney Mullen and Simon Woodstock all threw in DNA and my elementary school Art teacher did the cloning. I love seeing skateboarding as true expression and not worrying about how huge of a gap or drop is being backside dolphin flipped or whatever...just watching this cat skate down a street or the weirdest little transition and rule it in the most "cool" and almost organic vibe makes me smile in the purest way. Super props brother. Btw, one-wheel manuals are so low-key sick, I can't even describe to someone that doesn't get it...it's like describing how purple smells.

[@mthedemonhunter]

Purple smells like eggplant. 😶

[@stylez893]

This generations Rodney Mullen...... brilliance.

[@VojtechRozsival]

Exactly my thoughts. Such a connection between a man and his board is quite rare.

[@professorlamp]

I wouldn't even try to compare Rodney Mullen to this. Rodney's pretty much responsible for all the flip tricks you see in skateboarding today. This guy seems closer to Mike V more than anything...

[@keithkameron]

At first I was like “why does he always wear a helmet”? But now I LOVE that he always wears a helmet. Anywhere he goes he’s the best, and he’s the only one wearing a helmet. It makes him that much more authentic.

[@MrIncorr3ct]

I saw him on braille n he was wearing a helmet too. Maybe he's just become accustomed to it with the vert skating.

[@rack2646]

he's the authenticandyanderson

[@benl8962]

No offense but you have to be pretty stupid as to not know why someone would wear a helmet. The main reason people wear helmets is for safety. Helmets are designed for safety, skateboarding is dangerous, so its pretty fkn logical that he wears a helmet for safety....

[@seymourglass26]

@@benl8962 More specifically, he wears it because of a friend of his who had a terrible fall. It's not a stupid question to ask when 99% of pros with street or bowl parts don't wear helmets.

Absolute masterpiece, i love reliving this video every time i introduce a new friend to Andy Anderson and Brett Novak if they haven't heard of either. Brett, you make incredible inspiring breathtakingly beautiful skate short films that really showcase the beauty of skateboard spots and the creativity humans can have with them. Andy, you're the GOAT of skating, no questions asked. You are the most creative skater that's out there

[@McBicbic]

It's been a real trick for ages. Check out Natas' part in Streets on Fire

[@mthedemonhunter]

@@McBicbic Natas didn't actually do a free hand spin on top of the hydrant. He even said so himself. That's the first time I've ever seen it done as a full spin with nothing around you and a landed trick too. Natas held onto a stop sign to keep his balance. This kid is gifted.

I'm a old guy who skated hard in the 80s and 90s and have recently been skating again. Nobody gets me as excited as Andy about skating. He's got the whole soul thing down. He doesn't follow anyone's rules, and thats the true essence of skateboarding
