Seeing the B-Roll in the credits if it being a phone kinda blew my mind. This should be a reminder to everyone, it doesn’t matter what you have, it’s how you use it.

[@Jdkieddj]

@@mouman The video quality could have been a lot better. I don't know if it was the rendering or encoding but you can see how much bitrate is missing. If you are using an iphone to shoot you have to keep things totally uncompressed until the final render. The skill with the phone is top tier from Nigel, but the technical of the video encoding is way off.

[@AllMyAlliesAreDead]

The part is amazingly beautiful. Thank you for this

[@smoked-old-fashioned-hh7lo]

@@Jdkieddj yeah the video quality sucked. it was like some clips were filmed with a potato and others were fine. prime example is the pyramid ledges clip looks 480p and the clip immediately after is in perfect hd. there's a bit too much b-roll and and bails too. if they cut it down to around 6 minutes and made a few changes editing wise i think this would've been a fantastic part.

Come on, stop it, Andy is amazing, but he’s no Mullen. he didn’t create most of the flip tricks. Can’t he just be his own Skater why do people always need to compare or have some equivalency between skaters.

[@Brian-rp7dj]

There will never be another Mullen. Taking nothing away from Andy or this part Mullen fundamentally redefined what was possible on a board in a way we will likely never see again. Mullen said let there be light as far as street skating is concerned.

[@monkadelic13]

nikka he is lieterally 4 generations above mullen

[@manwithnoname734]

​@princequestly2218 I think you're completely missing the point bud. It's about inspiration to think outside of the norm. Yes Mullen invented or inspired pretty much all of today's common tricks. Skating changed forever because of him. The gnarlyness continues to go up but the creativity has definitely plateaued. Andy is far from the norm. I agree you can't compare him to Mullen based on trick invention but you can on creativity. The industry needs him and I'm glad he's around.

Meh disagree. He’s got style for days. He makes techy shit look dope.

[@magaan4717]

If you say style you can compare Hosoi vs Hawk days. I don’t disagree Anthony hasn’t the style or flow other skaters have. But who said technical tricks at heart depict style? They are technical trick and thus demonstrate the intricacies of the performer and trick alike not a depiction of style.

@@uncomfortableshirt it may be overblown, but there definitely is a group think mentality with SOME skaters. Like putting certain maneuvers/tricks into the "lame" category.

[@Nicolas__-]

I will admit that I never really thought that much of Andy Anderson 5+ years ago. To be completely honest I judged him for his style and trick selection. I thought to myself that he was just too different to make it anywhere significant and that the skate industry would continue to pass by him with little to no recognition. I was wrong. Over the course of time I’ve learned to judge others less because I know that I don’t like to be judged. It’s not the way. I’ve learned that creativity is one of the most vital aspects of being a human. Watching Andy skate is witnessing the essence of love and creativity. He oozes passion. There will only ever be ONE Andy Anderson. I’m sorry that I judged you, Andy. You’re possibly the most creative skateboarder on the planet and not to mention the things you’re doing are unimaginably difficult, and you’re the only one who can imagine doing them. That right there is the source of creativity. I’m not who I used to be, as most of us aren’t. I’m happy that I can appreciate Andy’s talent and discontinue judging what I don’t understand.

I’m not a skater but Andy just made me have so much more respect for the scene. It’s rare that someone can break down misconceptions, but Andy just did that in 12 minutes. What a legend.

[@ma2ft]

This Guy is just casually reinventing skateboarding on his own. Helmet on, shredding street, flat, ramps like no one else. Get him to the olympics and he would probably win easily. But he doesn't care, je just does what he wants... I don't skate but you can tell that everything he does is difficult yet done so effortlessly... Amazing video... 😮

[@sheddingskin420]

Love him or hate for his style or the fact he wear a helmet riding street, no can deny the overwhelming talent this guy has in multiple genres of skating and his creativity. Loving the way he approaches skateboarding and after seeing him on the Hawk vs Wolf podcast, getting to see how this dude thinks about it and his overall persona is exactly what skateboarding needs. Great video, insane tricks. I cant wait to see the impact this guy will make for the future of the sport

[@martinzemek5798]

I'm glad that I was able to get Andy's first board from a skate shop in the Czech Republic. I hope that Powell will do a European tour someday, come to Prague, so I'll have the opportunity to get Andy to sign it for me.

[@antidote5125]

I've been thinking about visiting Czechia, any spots you recommend?

[@martinzemek5798]

​@@antidote5125I mainly go to skateparks but there's a website where you can find a lot of street spots from Prague. It's pretty well made. The spots are categorized (rails, stairs, ledges, gaps, banks, manual ledges, etc.), there's a map, photos of the spots, short descriptions that even include info about potential security and so on. I can't put the link here because KZbin will hide the comment but if you google "skate spots prague" it should be the top result.

[@martinzemek5798]

​@@antidote5125 I don't know why but KZbin hid two of my comments already. Try googling "skate spots Prague". The top result should hopefully give you way more recommendations than I can and it's with pictures, important info and so on 😉

[@IndialienJones]

What can I even say that hasn't already been said a million times? I was so moved by this. It's incredible to see someone excel at something they are so passionate about because they put in the hard work to achieve their goals. It's even cooler to see such a humble, kind, down to earth person doing it. Favorite skater...hands down.

[@guitarzipandan]

I started skating in 1976 in the UK, I'm 58 now and last year started again and it was epic, sadly I hurt myself pretty badly and kind of realised that my body can't take the damage like it used to but I will ride again at some point. I've been watching Andy for a while now and watching this video has had me welling up with passion, joy, nostalgia and the pure happiness of seeing where this beautiful life has got to so many years later. I fucking love skateboarding so so much ❤👊 ✌

[@chris_X6]

Jaw hit the floor watching him skate that rail. Bravo Andy!

[@CockLobster]

He put rubber tape on it. Poser shit.

[@mikayla_collie]

Which one? 😋

[@okisktr7898]

My jaw dropped since the beginning. I was getting cramps in my jaw since I forgot it was opened for like 10 minutes lol

[@Spartan-301st]

Skating is lucky that a soul like Andy’s found George Powell. Making magic over there, folks. Beyond excited for this part 🛹

[@svartiske3283]

Thanks, Hippie Mike from Canada for inspiring the young @@!

[@royalvibes4433]

It’s the other way around

[@DwindleFlip]

The way Andy skates makes me smile. It's like pure joy and creativity all in one amazing person on a board. Creativity has no limits so skate how you want to! Love to Powell Peralta, Andy the entire team. Extra shoutout to Mogley! The Powell skaters right now are the perfect mix of skaters that fit what Powell has always been about, having fun in style, and doing it your own way.

[@realscenekid]

I will come back to this video everyday

[@Ben-b9h1f]

Giving props for the inspiration is the most respectful thing I’ve seen in skateboarding ever

[@jonkuenning]

Most people and all the haters have no idea how good Andy is.

[@awesomeman9730]

Modern day Rodney Mullen. Andy you are so special, unique and important for skateboarding. That was truly incredible.

[@haydenscobie4533]

Skating is so cool. So many things to learn and styles. Board set ups. I love it.

[@thenoatorious]

I love how he really feels his board as if he is just casually dancing

[@GearSeekers]

I don't even understand how Andy does the things he does with his board. This part is on another level. I have no words.

[@AJ-ec5dg]

Finally a recent skate video with good music.

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert6462]

One of the best ever.

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Even cops love Andy Anderson.

[@icantollie]

Yeah bc he wholesome af

[@mytorment]

@@the6ig6adwolf that's why he'll never get SOTY with Trasher; nor will any Canadian or skater from Wisconsin

[@rfwhyte]

An instant modern classic.

[@maxwellsokol2934]

His helmet is like an active charcoal filter to weed out all of the people who fundamentally don’t understand what they’re looking at. I saw Andy skate at Tampa Pro this year and I was in awe. Once in a generation talent. Viva Powell ☠️🤘

[@RickyPollo]

Homeboy did a line with 11 tricks in a row and they were all so rad! 🔥🔥

[@YuTubeAccount4]

This is the kind of skating we always believed in but also could never quite imagine.

[@j.r.stewart3956]

One of the most gifted, creative, and talented dudes to ever step on a board. Salute Andy. One of a kind. 🤘

[@jeremy7383]

This dude just doesn’t see the same physical world that we do. Crazy Wisdom is right.

[@joeybenoit6269]

Iam 68 been surfing and skating over 60 years! I love this kid!

[@BradyPuryear]

Best part in the last 10 years. ❤️

[@davidanalog]

The darkslide on that snake rail might be my favourite trick of the video. It's impressive, but also aesthetically pleasing.

[@wolfpecker5710]

The way he pumped through it was so freaking sick!!

[@matthewpetrelis2340]

His ability to take skateboarding back to it roots aswell as driving it into the future is a feat not many people will ever achieve. The way he approaches his lines mimics a surfer riding a wave, every movement/trick has a purpose of moving to the next section while also taking the spotlight in its own right. Being able to squeeze the life out of each obstacle without appearing to be forcing anthing. This was like an endless summer, I did not want it to end.

[@guillaumesakiche]

I haven't seen a full length part in a very long time but Andy Anderson is bringing something so fresh and nice. What a beast.

[@XtraordinaryFishing]

I'm a bmx rider who watches skating occasionally but everytime i watch andy I'm smiling the whole time!!

[@red13emerald]

Dude, Andy is so counter-culture he came out the other side. Loads of skaters try to be cool and different they didn't even realize how mainstream they became. And this guy is here, unphased by that bs, with his own style, so nice and respectful that he can convince a bunch of cops how cool skating is and to let him do his stuff. A true original, second to none.
