Losing a friend to suicide changes you for the rest of your life. If only they knew how much it affects us. Reach out to your homies. Tell them how much you love them. Tell them you are here for them.
I've watched that video countless times back when it came out and it was right at the same time I was coming back to skateboarding after 4 years of really bad depression and almost complete isolation. Andy's point of view towards the world and the lifestyle that he was living really did influence my mind and opened up a lot of new opportunities and emotional perspectives, his energy really gets into people, he really did influence (very positively) my view on skating aswell, you guys really did something for me, and I still carry it with me, thank you both, re-watching this video with you commenting it, was very intense.
I had a great time sitting in on this conversation. Everybody deserves to experience unconditional love. I truly felt the emotion in this video and I think that is pretty rare in itself.
Andy Anderson is the Hendrix of skateboarding. Generational talent, on trajectory to be the biggest thing for the sport since Tony Hawk. I’m not even a skater, you don’t need to be to become obsessed with his stuff. I think it’s the focus on balance based tricks are relatable for any athlete, instead of some crazy huge trick Nyjah or Yuto are doing that I don’t really understand. Keep the attitude and spirit rocking dude, hope you do another Olympic run. 🤘
I fell in love with Andy when this original vid came out. Love that mix of old school/freestyle with the generic and air and mix of everything. Bring back the old skating
I think these 2 dudes right here are the most genuine, compassionate dudes in the skate world. I’m not even really a skateboarder. I did for years, picked it back up for a year, put it back down , but I still love watching these videos. Keep it up fellas
The types of videos thst i want to see from Andy are what he enjoys doing. If he enjoys learning switch tres and thinks that they will add to his overall enjoyment of the sport then yes. But what I enjoy watching from Andy is a nice flowy, fun, skate session.
Great conversation 🙏 Really appreciate the honest long content. Thia is what RU-vid was made for. Thats for always being you and maintaining your style. I am agoing to have shoulder surgery soon, i am going to fill the locals during that time and sharebtheir stories. That is the best thing we can do for other skaters. I always have to film with tripod and ao much motion is missing from my videos. Stay rad Sir.
Andy is so relatable because of his honesty , keep being you ! I really enjoy the improvisational skating , always molding to the ever changing environment 🤙👊
Andy just keep doin what where doin we love the old stuff we love the new stuff. Don't ever change just be you. Ps not a huge fan of baggy pants but not big deal. Can't believe this was day 1. Thank God u two met. Rip zay that dude had great style. Keep up great work. Hope to skate with u guys someday.
I can not do handrails but speaking of walking rails...I got really good at that and could walk across the entire University of Rochester on the walkway handrails...Mastering balance is really gratifying
oh i remember this video, it was such a beautiful video, really got me on to andy as a skater. so many tricks i'd never thought would even be possible.
Loved listening to you guys always watching the Nka vids it’s my favorite skate sessions to watch or even listen to❤❤❤ Andy you are the best keep it up bro
Great stuff you guys, have watched you from the beginning, miss the old crew you skated with. Loved the videos of Hollywood high session's especially with Vinnie banh, Carlos, Darius, be great to see them again in your new videos, iam 52 now skated back in the 90's but still love watching all different videos especially thrasher, tom penny and chad muska are my legands, keep the vids coming cool guys. 🇬🇧
Hi! I love your videos NKA, and also the good spirit they are bringing to us. You asked about Andy and all I want is to be able to keep staring at him skating as himself and keep being a free minded skater because thanks to him we can enjoy his style and learn a lot about new”old” tricks and also about being a good and interesting person the same time. Sorry for my bad English! :D
As a HUGE Andy Stan, he needs to apply his new skills and smoothness to his old style. I miss the way he used to skate a lot. It inspired me so much as an artist, not even a skater.
I love me some Andy Anderson cus his skating is Dandy Danderson. Do the tricks you want to do man! Skating is about doing what you wanna do, tricks and all.
6:00 ... i just want andy to be andy,n want that andy to b happy,cause he s so real,so true to himself n rippin,n i love these vids...it means a lot to me...respect(beyond) 🤓
I wanna see some more “old Andy” for sure! To me, his skating is like great improv music. I can get popular music in a lot of places (switch tre’s, heelflips, whatever). But I can’t see really unique, sometimes bizarre skating often at all! I love his “a Short Skate Film” that was shot like an art piece for reference… just a ton of fun and interesting tricks.
Legend Natas came to NZ 1989 did a tail slide a block ground rough 3 stair rail then a overhang down stair 10 set rail and some choppy shuvs hitting a tiny bump to front wall ride finished with tee sign and photo
Skate like you used to!!!! Everything has been done to death. But you bring a new twist and style to skating. Very much how Scotty Stevens has done with snowboarding.
Riding on the board of skating in a flim to changes the way to appearing from the setup of style and warm-up to increasing progression in a good session
To Andy, Still work on your switch game for sure. Its really good, but you could be more even with your regular game definitely. But at the same time, i personally want some more circus tricks. The stuff you have brought out more randomly that you seem to be consistent at, or stuff that people have never even thought of, have definitely been highlights for me. Like the natas spin ff impossible at the berrics was unreal.
I'd totally forgot about this upload & seeing Andy for the 1st time. Remember going to the gym & me & my then workout partner both raving about how good was this new dude who was on NKA. Also, what happened to Chris? If I recall, the other dude in that upload was Chris. He was in loads of NKA vids. He was a good skater & chilled dude.
A lot of what Andy is saying about life and attitude I learned from BMX. People who have a bad attitude, even if they are really good, don't make it far. I never understood why some skaters and BMXers have this elitist and I am the greatest attitude. It doesn't do anything for the sport or for yourself.
I wonder what board Andy is riding in this video.. Does any one know? Nigal, if you read this, let me know. Would love to have a conversation with Andy about life, ect. Also, I think Andy should keep going on his own path, his unique combination of style but leaning more towards freestyle. I feel like him and Killian could do amazing things for skateboarding. Also, who is the dude in the "easy" shirt you were speaking highly of?
