Andy is the realest. I skated through the 80s and 90s all the way til now and didn’t wear a helmet cuz it wasn’t cool. I had 2 really bad head injuries skating in my early 30s and started wearing a helmet. My sons 6 and ripping and he loves Andy and it def helps him feel better about me making him wear a helmet cuz Andy is his favorite. Andy is the best vibe in skating right now.

It's refreshing how authentic Andy is. Makes his own rules, plays his own game.

I love that with Andy, skating is so much more than being able to do the hardest trick, impress people or win contests to prove how great he is. Its purely his love for the board, the history and how you can express yourself personally that made him ride and keeps him riding. So badass man, a true free spirit. Can't respect that enough

Never realized how versatile Andy’s skating is. Thanks thrasher for the new perspective on this guy.
