Salute da Boss.

Top 3 favorite video parts? Favorite frontside flip?

coyote2425 · « **Reply #1 on:** June 06, 2018, 08:04:11 PM »

I'm stoked to still have two of those mags on my shelf.

Capital B in the Boss.

1) Baker 3
2) Stay Gold

Favorite fs flip: Hollywood High 16 over the rail. Followed closely by the one at the end of a line in Stay Gold down that massive set where his knees go all sideways.

I had that December ‘98 transworld one. Hate myself for not having it anymore. I still have golden era Kirchart and Jamie Thomas covers but not my favorite skater smh

Shoutout Geoff Rowley it’s his birthday too

Surf-goth · « **Reply #5 on:** June 06, 2018, 08:45:51 PM »

Happy birthday boss! Man he was my favorite skater growing up. I bought emericas wore button ups and leather jackets skated mostly stairs and gaps. Can't lie this dude was my idol as a teenager starting from his birdhouse days which by the way i think his graphics were cooler then.

Happy birthday Andrew

Ya know, I don’t have a “favorite” skater per se, but if I did it would probably be him. So epic for such a long time, along with starting Baker. What a career! Nothing but the utmost respect. Also props VHS for starting this thread. Some positive news and vibes in here!

I wish old Drew would come back just for one day, and party with a fricken orangutang. You only turn 40 once.

Everybody forgets This is Skateboarding. I think it was his best part

Dorje Drolo · « **Reply #12 on:** June 06, 2018, 10:31:01 PM »

Insane he still gets down as hard as he does at 40. Like a true boss, respect.

iKobrakai · « **Reply #13 on:** June 06, 2018, 10:48:10 PM »

I like this short part.

The greatest of all time . Someone to be remembered garnering in new talent and at the same time keeping up with or exceeding that talent. Only 40 and so many more years to make an impact on the industry off the board. Looking forward to the boss’ future.

poser666 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 07, 2018, 01:25:29 AM »

Fuck this washed bum

He was good in the late 90s

Joslins etnies part blows every video AR has done combined out the pond

The boss?? More like THE LOSS

Budo · « **Reply #20 on:** June 07, 2018, 01:43:55 AM »

^Hahahahahah! Nope.

I mean I probably like other parts better, but Andrew's bonus part in the Emerica DVD blew me away, because I got the VHS before that and loved that part, but then he had another part?! I loved that.

The End FS flip was really sick to me as a kid, FS flips over rails were cool when you did then like that.

Owen · « **Reply #21 on:** June 07, 2018, 01:53:48 AM »

My favourite parts are:

Baker 2g
The End
Stay Gold

Special mention: Bonus part in TIS DVD

Still to this day the f/s flip down Hollywood 16 is fucked

Prawn Cocktail · « **Reply #23 on:** June 07, 2018, 02:53:48 AM »

The GOAT. I think at this point its undeniable. Koston kooked himself out of contention.

Also I like what he is doing with Stella. I think its a great thing for womens skateboarding that he is so supportive of his daughter's skating.

Word now Joslin just needs to keep outdoing himself and everyone else for another decade then we can talk. Even then his tricks still will never look as good as the boss man. Yes I’m aware I’m being trolled.

Maybe I’m having a brain fart, what part is this one from?

this is the first footage I ever saw of him.

slappies · « **Reply #29 on:** June 07, 2018, 05:26:08 AM »

The backside heel he does does down the 5 block in Paris (I think it's in Paris) in Stay Gold is the greatest ever done. I remember the first time I saw it it didn't even look real, it looked like he was just going to float off the screen.
