Powell Peralta Skateboard Stories - Andy Anderson

[@TheTilde]

Vibes of Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk, Perralta... No swearing, a helmet, a positive spirit.... This is the skating I love.

[@ivanriverooo]

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!

[@SlickRick4EVER]

Oh, he swears... but not negatively.

[@lols6255]

TheTilde soooo true

[@NumneunoGames]

@Alan formula1 Sounds more like a general human being thing rather than a skateboarder type of person. You'll find teenagers are way more prone to behave like that and not the younger and/or older folks, but once again that has to do with age and maturity not really a skateboarding thing IMO.

[@sliderx1897]

@Nebula skateboarding was never "the cool thing" we are all freaks and geeks! -Jeff Grosso

[@JLPC13]

This guy's a genius and he's gonna change skateboarding. He's just incredible to watch, I've never seen anything like him in 30 years

[@Bravo-Too-Much]

Guys like him and Winkowski simply are bringing back old styles that have existed for decades but were deemed not cool anymore. So now that those styles haven’t been seen for years, it seems new and different. In some cases, guys like Andy Anderson and Eric Winkowski have never been seen before period for younger generations of skaters. A lot of people are tired of the super tech skating and are getting more and more into bowl and transition skating and guys skating with style and feeling over unattainable tech skating. Andy has managed to mix so many styles and tech skating in such a way that kids can relate to it. And Winkowski hitting inverts and long lipslides on handrails with an 80s shaped board and 80s street style is refreshing for people to see instead of another kickflip front crook flip out.

[@camerinbrummett6511]

I could watch this kid skate and listen to him talk about his perspective on it for hours. Powell Peralta, make Andy pro!

[@R3AL9005]

Nine months later, and I couldn't agree with you more. Even the soundtrack is good

[@mindfulofidiots6003]

His deck is freaking sick , apparently he’s spent years perfecting shape,size etc , kids genius

[@roydoggy]

His understanding of all the physics and concepts of skateboarding parallels everything Rodney Mullen talk about. Andy is a true professional in his craft.

[@jimgoodrich214]

In my 40-plus years in skateboarding, Andy is the most original, genuine and innovative skater I've ever known. And an incredibly intelligent, fun, and cool guy as well.

[@jam292]

Still shooting huh? I watch a lot of skate videos, and this seemed like the first one. Wow, what a take on it all

[@ChrisPlush]

Yeah I agree I've been following this kid on KZbin for a little while I think he's probably the best skateboarder in the world right now. You should watch it in nkg I think it is... videos with him... It's just him raw at the park or spot figuring it out and it's amazing. I cannot believe how talented this kid is and I totally back the helmet thing...

[@jimgoodrich214]

Yeah, still shooting skateboarding and loving it. Andy is by far my favorite to photograph, and is also a great friend.

[@andyanderson5858]

Love you Jim :)

[@oisinosborne2852]

Rodney Mullen?

[@flux_time]

6:00 absolutely no way, the amount of control he has to balance on one wheel and turn that precisely. Hes definitely up there with the legends of skateboarding.

[@gonzo13ist]

Thank you Powell-Peralta. This kid is Unique.

[@powellperalta]

Truly one of a kind

[@redrowolloftnod5230]

It's neat how Stacy is attracted to him and how Andy has a style that blends perfect with the lineage of Powell/Peralta.

Andy has to be one of the coolest skaters out there, not just skate skill too... the way he thinks and explains stuff is super interesting. "you wanna understand your trick so well that you don't have to understand your trick anymore".

[@SkateCrisis]

Andy, you are the past, the present and the future of skateboarding of all styles in only one person!

What do I think of this curb? Oh, it's something for me to trip over, or it could be something that I spend hours tripping over on purpose."

... First exposure to Andy, his skate style, personality, and vibes really intrigued me. I began to watch more videos related to him. I found in one video who his mentors are and even more about his love of freestyle. I then stumbled onto this video and it instantly had me hooked, thinking about skateboarding on a whole different level. I have infinite amounts of respect for you and what you can do for skate culture. PS Normally I wouldn't comment but I felt like I can leave here with a better understanding of life and use what I interpreted from this video and apply it to my life!

Thank You George, Stacy & Team for bringing your brand back to the forefront. I’ll be purchasing an Anderson deck as soon as they’re Back in Stock, that’ll be right before I go to the hospital at 41 or 42 years old with at least One Injury.

"The whole concept, is just turning off thinking & then just doing it right? It really is the feeling of being present & having enough danger surrounding you that nothing from your past or future can distract you."
