Muhammad Ali has a great quote about the idea of the word impossible. What Andy said reminds me of it. Of course, using a helmet is gonna keep him skating and SMART a lot longer. “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

he's hardly slept on tbf. He's one of the most talked about skaters in recent years. plus his own board shapes, wheels etc olympics. He is already a damn legend for real !

Dude, he was so good so long ago. he has evolved so far beyond what he was doing before, that was already so far beyond what was normal for most pros lol. Seriously rad. I'm just taken aback by the creativity, the consistency, and the ease with which he does the most outrageous tricks. And he truly does blend so many styles into this perfect unison of everything skateboarding has been and will be. What a genuine and chill dude, and truly in it for the love of it. Keep it up, Andy. Might have to come up from Newport one of these nights and hope I get a chance to watch you demolish Venice 🔥

Dude legit became my favorite skater.

Not detracting from his character, this guy has major Mullen vibes. Love watching him skate and listening to him! What a legend. Keep it up!

I’m so glad Andy is finally getting the recognition he deserves, absolutely phenomenal skater 👏🏻

I f**kin ❤ Both of these guys

I just watched Andy’s part last night, and I’ll say like I said then, Andy’s skating is truly different and unique, I’ve been skating for over 20 years, alot of parts that come out, and tricks see on Instagram or at contests, I may not be able to do all of them, but I understand them, and understand how you could do it, Andy’s skating is a different story, I’d say more then 75% of his tricks are ones that literally blew my mind, he defies physics on a board, and he is such a genuine soul, never met him, but from years of watching him on the NKA videos I feel like I know him, it is so lame that people give him shit for wearing a helmet, skating is a creative way to express ourselves through our tricks,style, clothing, and so on, if you don’t want to wear a helmet then so be it, but don’t hate on the next man for protecting his brain, the same brain that thought of all these gnarly tricks and concepts he has, that’s like hating on someone because you wear leopard skin pants and they don’t want to, it’s pointless, the fact that he did not get the recognition he deserve 5-10 years ago is criminal, this dude has been this good forever, and he has only gotten better, so while the rest of you were worried what everyone else thought, Andy has been killing it, and the best part is he not once in my opinion has seemed bitter or resentful in any way, in fact I’ve seen him give props to skaters who most definitely were hating on him, humility is something inside you that can’t be taught, you have to find it within, and Andy is humility in skating form, I could go on and on about Andy, he is gonna be known as the skater who made freestyle skating cool again, while also making every other style of skating look cool, scratch that, he just makes skating look cool, if by some coincidence you read this Andy, you are an inspiration to me and so many other, keep shredding

This 15 minute video took me 26 minutes to watch. He has a timeless style, i love watching Andy skate.

Andy is everything skateboarding needed, humble honesty, artistic endeavour and love for all beings. Canadian bc philosophy brought to skateboarding is so nice to see with young people. I grew up in invermere bc moved to calgary in 2000 to film skateboarding, got to film thomas, koston, and many others in my 20s. havent been a part of skateboarding for many years, but still watch videos all the time. when andy came on the scene and brought his philosophy into his art with skateboarding is so refreshing. ive said it before and said it again this is the kind of person young folks need in the world today. good on ya andy. as someone who has had a head injury , even with a helmet ( hit my jaw hard on a fall) I love his advocacy towards helmets and having a i dont care what others think vibe is important. this here is a true role model. Makes me want to get back on a skateboard even if its just easy simple stuff. no having to go big or go home, its all about the fun and the art of it. Nowadays im older, got kids that are grown up and It makes me happy they have people with a good world outlook to look up too in skateboarding today

Yo red bull has been turning it out- dayyyyyyum this is such a good pairing with his part- big ups to maders , hes now the "most roped off" (crob coin) field correspondant in skateboarding

Mike V probably gets overlooked a little bit when we talk about versatility. He's been skating everything (street, transition, flatground/freestyle) for decades now and has very clearly paved the way for a guy like Andy to come along and be successful.

I used to longboard, and anytime we would be on hills or doing anything serious, I would put on a helmet bc it is more serious at those speeds. I graduated as well, and that's why I always respected this dude. I'm a hypocrite on flatland though. I really like the way the longboarders promote safety. Seeing these people who take massive injuries bc they wanna look cool is so goofy to me. They could be doing 10/10 skating and still all I see is a goof and a bad influence, lol. Like kickflipping on a platform where you can fall! OH GENIUS. Let's respect those losers! /s SLS blows nuts! Commercialized competition skating is lame. I'd be watching this guy and parts and docs like this over that stuff any day. I'd rather watch bmx freestyle, or Moto Trials w no money in it over xgames. The popularity of this content proves how sick people are of watching that junk with all the money poured onto it (not into it). This stuff is rad!

Mullen and Hawk and Cab and everyone who invented a trick paved the way for Andy to just absolutely rip any obstacle in existence and show what skateboarding truly is.

Andy is the Bob Ross of the skate world. No mistakes, just happy little accidents.

Got the mind beaming, glad to see andy skate i feel like he fits the scene and hope it inspires other aging young men to stay on the board as much as they can!! I know we are all different with style... nice to see somebodies work-out

A lot of the skating community was not ready for Andy Anderson. But over time everyone is coming to the same conclusion. He's a nice, humble, and knowledgeable dude that rips like nobody's business and he is the kind of generational talent that skateboarding needs to help push things forward. He wears his influences on his sleeve and has become a master of marrying all of the different styles of skateboarding into his own flow that is wholly his own. I would not be surprised to some day see people say the name Anderson with the same reverence they say the name Mullen.
