Title: The Bob Ross of Skateboarding.
Post by: Sloppy Krooks on March 26, 2021, 12:09:57 AM
Someone wrote that in the comments of this, and i thought is was the best way to describe &&.

25 minutes of Andy skating 10 blocks in his hometown, and how he can make that interesting. Some rad little tricks he does almost without thinking.

&& always whispers “We’re just going to smack the devil out of it” before he pops an ollie, so yeah, you might be right.

There are thouthands options around internet and it's quite difficult to find a decent one. I recommend this website with top canadian casino games https://yuzoolapps.com (https://yuzoolapps.com//). Follow the ink and enjoy.

That was so corny. This kid is like the most annoying parts of Rodney, Mike V, Stacey Peralta, and Doug Brown rolled into one.

I think so. He falls into the category where, in a vacuum, there's nothing wrong with him and he seems a lot nicer than 90% of the other pros at this time.

However, his fan base seems to be mostly Redditor kids who learned about skating through THPS and are hung up on the belief that he would be the top pro right now if the skate industry didn't have it out for people wearing helmets. It's to a point where it they don't even want him to be accepted because it would mean that their notions about skateboarders are wrong.

He's the Chuck Norris of skateboarding.

Andy Anderson doesn't sleep. ...He waits.

That line he does at 18:17 is fucking bananas

if the skate industry didn't have it out for people wearing helmets.

I mean, that part is correct, isn't it? I don't think && would be Ishod all of a sudden if he dropped the helmet or anything, but there's literally not one example of another street skater who wears a helmet who isn't an old man or a small child

Thats a good insight

I have a feeling he is one of those skaters that makes a lot of hard things look relatively easy because it's AA and he's adept at skating, but I watched this last night and then tried one of those backwards pushes (that he does nonchalantly at 18:24) and let's just say I did not succeed haha..... sometimes it's the little things, I understand that his skating isn't for everyone though.

I read that he wears the helmet because of an injury, is that why he’s a little.. different?  Or was he always like that?  At first you’d think a lot of psychedelics but I doubt it.  This might be a super controversial opinion but he kind of reminds me of the Gonz, and not just his voice.  His whole outlook and explorative style of skating.

his fan base is also extremely rabid. I suggested that he needed to tone down the freestyle tricks in the lines in his most recent video parts and had so many angry replies from his fanboys.

The skaters who like AA, is the skaters who doesnt understand style. They are all semi autistic/aspergers.
They see the trick and its score. Nothing else.

There has been other skaters with the whole freestyle stuff and they didn't get really big either, if anything && is furthest anyone got skating like this. Although he can skate stairs and rails too.

nothing against people on the spectrum but it does work well within someone else's thps/youtube hypothesis
