Mano A Mano 2023 - Round 1 - Men's: Chris Gregson vs. Andy Anderson 

lmao 100%

that dudes legs are taler than his entire torso and head combined- teh LANK!! looks like a tuning fork while skating lol

for shu

those all rock and roll and others are basic set ups tricks

Andy is always on some bs in games of skate tho.

@@dans2833I don’t agree with it but I get it. when going against a guy like andy you either gotta be just as versatile or you gotta win on whatever technicality you can get.

Cuz most of the tricks he does looks shit and isn't worth spending time learning

@@yyyobwoc yeah, this reminds me of the straight 8 style skaters in a game of skate. ive always been bad at kick flips. so you could get 4 easy tricks on me in any game of skate. but if i get to set trick. ill do every shuv it, every 360. every tricks gotta be a banger when you cant land kick flips.

Andy is a genuine dude

Yes but it’s also fun to watch Andy just do the most bullshit tricks not really get why people are bummed on them lol. The swivel tricks he does are boring, but other than that it’s so entertaining to watch him. That blunt fakie? Come on that’s hilarious.

@@nickcalabrese4829 it might be funny if he didn't just try to claim his fs flip tail was legit right before that...

@@tyrone-dh6iy It was a weird call, especially that late in the game, but didn’t change the outcome. Honestly I’m kind of cool with it even if it had. Games are boring when you just bank on one trick you know your opponent can’t do. At least when Andy does something stupid, it’s different each time. The one different trick Chris did, I really didn’t expect Andy to land, so when he did that was cool lol. And same when Chris did the silly blunt fakie. I think there was a game last season where Andy did a couple of those dumb swivel tricks where it’s just like blunt, smith, rock and roll type variations, and in the same way that was super boring.

thank god he won

@@nickcalabrese4829 yeah, the thing is though with andy you are certain to get one of those games. I'd take a fs flip barage over that extra spinny bs combo stuff. anyway, i'm glad that call didn't change the outcome of the game, as that would have been super unfair..andy id good enough he shouldn't need that kind of help from the judges

Crob has come to hate skateboarding but has sunk so far into the industry that he has no other career options. It's all fake enthusiasm for the camera so he can keep getting booked for appearances. Look into his eyes. He is dead inside.

​@@paulweaver7073 lol wtf

At least he has some guys to look at.😂

@@Rooftop_Korean_159😭😭

Can't really blame him...all these Mano A Mano games are basically the same and almost nobody manages to land the trick on defence.....

i agree, but i think getting andy just one letter that wasn’t a fs flip would’ve been a lot better

It was honestly wack

@@Matthew-qf8bb Why? It's the whole point of the game to land tricks that your opponent can't, and I think the probability of Andy doing those fs flip variations is higher than Chris doing the crazy stuff that Andy does.

@theghostoffredzeppelin80 yea the tricks chris does are atleast name able, andy does stuff most skaters rarely see let alone have the chance to practice...andy was going to win for sure if chris didn't play cut throat...props to both skaters tho

@@keithstone6411 That was like finding out your opponent can’t double flip and doing every variation. Shit was super lame.

I feel like circus tricks are way more frowned upon than variation tricks. Just my opinion, but I can't stand watching Andy skate and since it's already so hard to judge skate contests, Andy often unjustly steals the show. Glad he's out so I can see some actually amazing tranny skating.

​@Bart Stepien so you prefer the same cookie cutter skateboarding that's been going on for years? Interesting, I think it's boring and predictable.

@@BartBoyBlu9234 weird take

I made a category of these 'special' clown show skateboarders , it's called Cirque de soiled. It's gotten to be silly. 🐒

@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 that sounds hard af tho

this comment showed up as first comment while the video was playing. this spoiled it bro... but besides that, you are absolutely right.

@@SabiaCDO Never read the comments or look at the timestamps before watching MAM

@@KaiDown I DON4T LOL. But I didn't go fullscreen and the comment was sitting there... it's the damn algorithm.

@@SabiaCDO Yeah that's stung me a few times too. I've got into the habit of tryna hit fullscreen before ya eyes hit it lol

Dude spoilers man!!!!

As a Canadian and a huge fan of Andy. I love the new rule!

It's the Mano A Mano version of the "No Malto Manuel Sh*T" rule in Battle At The Berrics.

Gentleman’s rules lol

i fully agree. calling your trick is how we always played skate

Also for calling out the fact that he touched the top of the board and didn’t grab the tail.

You’re blind. It was clearly a kickflip rock fakie. No woman is trying kickflip blunt.

poser

A.. mono style.. you can say

Call the FBI dude, let's riot!

i think it’s heels he has on lock

I think he has them down pretty good, saw him do em a lot. But the regular ones, not with disaster and grabs

​@@TheGollum619 yeah you're right, Andy does them like Muska where they flip like hardflips or illusion flips. It's an awesome looking trick either way.

What's fair play about that? I mean, Andy at least threw in a couple of normal tricks into the mix, while he could just have thrown his weird trick repertoire at his enemy for a sure win. :-D

I'm just dumbfounded he's weak at frontside.. that's where you can really have control with air time

crazy that Andy can do almost any trick under the sun, but a common frontside flip that can be done by your local skatepark hero, is what takes him out

@@Stiffsen what normal tricks did andy do?

@@PinaBoards he can’t skate switch at all

That was absolute bullshit lol

@@gumpydruckers7961games of skate on transition are different when it comes to defense bro.

The only lame thing about this game was Andy Anderson!

That’s the point of the game😂

@@Menace_za Right? 😄

@@Menace_za it's skateboarding, knocking down your opponent was never the point

i mean, isnt Andy doing tricks that no one is even trying to do on a regular basis?

​@@cygasrapsodiadoing tricks your opponent can't do is literally how you play Skate.

dude button mashed fs flips as good a skater as he is that was pathetic. and I can't stand Andy or his style.

I read Albert vs Einstein LOL

Gregson will be knocked out in the next round just doesn’t have enough up his sleeves so weird how ppl hate of Andy for inventing new tricks it’s almost like they don’t know how skateboarding started

you are extremely uninformed about mini ramp...disco lip variations are old af...gregsons tricks would actually be fun to learn and do and require a skill...sliding in and out of lip to axle to blunt combos is what everyone does waiting for the bus...hilarous that you think a real trick is lame, and stringing together a bunch of easy tricks is Quircky! and original...kids did all that in the 90's when 4 foot minis were de riguer

@@tuskratscrew703 get emm

@@tuskratscrew703 Ok, calm down, bud. My intention was to say I think the way they BOTH played was lame. I didn't say Andy invented those tricks. I just like seeing variation and stuff the opponent has a chance to land. Chris's frontside flips were beautiful, man. 😂

The fact that Gregson landed it on defense was amazing

And not to mention, the best transition filmer in the world

Andy is just a young Todd Falcon

Andy does Todd Falcon's tricks
