Andy can do all the traditional tricks too. The difference is freestyle. He brings it into all skating including his transition skating. He doesn’t see street, vert, and freestyle separately, and he is constantly creating. He is also by far one of the nicest people I have ever skated with.

For anyone who says that Andy just does "weird" tricks and couldn't hold a candle to any "real" pro skaters haven't watched enough of his content. Andy chooses to do more creative tricks. He can do tre's, varial heels, switch flips etc. In his Powell video part he back smithed a 20 stair (it might have been more) handrail. It seems that he just enjoys the more creative/freestyle side of skateboarding. As far as this game of skate, I agree that the "coping dancing" was un-gentleman-like. But best believe he's just as good as these other pros. As far as the 5-0 to switch crook? He probably doesn't have that locked in, best believe that if he decided to practice em, he could throw em out every try consistently.
