Andrew Allen for Vans part

[botefdunn]

This guy and Kellen James are the kings of low impact skating.

Huh, interesting. I never thought of aa as low impact, probably cause he skates high bodily impact, but I see what you mean.

[one-off]

Andrew Allen is reckless but by no means wreckless

[hobochimp]

I love watching him skate. That’s all

I want those earth tone shoes too. Upcoming AA authentic high colorway?

 its all Wreckless Eric's fault <3

[Tyroneshoelaces]

skating was awesome.

half the footage was filmed by a fucking idiot though.  cool, all i wanted to see were his knees and below.

you have to... when you film slappy/low impact stuff, it will look better and more dynamic if you zoom on the action. Imagine filming a slappy with the Ty evans wide angle.
Filming & Editing was perfect ! Good ideas for lazy tricks that'll look good !
"In heaven" was the bonus point

Is this the first nose manny ender ever?

[close]

it was switch, but he nose mannied it as his ender in hockey III
enjoyed that a lot, fakie 5-0 on the barrier and fakie 5-0 flip on the qp were both sick as hell. echoing what someone else said in that the line that ended in the bs flip was weak. almost seemed like a different skater, made him look 10 years older than he is lmao

Among my favorites as well. Though I was considering em switch tricks rather than fakie. If those were done regular they wouldn be thought of as nollie tricks?

[Rasmus]

The fakie tailslide flip out on the barrier looked fucking flawless!

I think I said this before, but one of the fascinating things about AA is that he sometimes does some insanely tech skating, which his raw style doesn't really imply he's capable off, so it always throws me off guard, whenever he ups the technicality!

(Suciu must be sweating right now!)

[Síota]

Fuck that was great. I wish my lunch break was longer so I could go skate today.

[BieberStance]

i wonder if there is an overlap of people loving AA but hating on Aiden.

(i don´t mind & enjoy both)

[Orangepulp1000]

Such a good style
This is the shit that just makes you want to stop whatever you’re doing an go skate
❤️

[mooraga]

really nice and fun part, good job AA

finally a vans rider skating their shoes like 90% of the costumers use them
don't tell me your feet don't hurt on vans cause we know they can barely handle a 3 stair impact

[Tear Up a Trick]

Enjoyed all of that

Isn't there a thread on "When the Song is Too Good for the Part" ?

[mattchew]

For me it's the front tail, back 3 flip in the ditch. You could not do a better line at that non-spot.

Agreed. That was the craziest clip in there.

[Candied cigarettes]

Enjoyed all of that

Yo, what? I think the song is equally as good as the part, it’s a perfect fit.

[art hellman]

it's the ultimate

ha yeah i've thought about that before. i call them fakie out of instinct (and likely will continue to do so) but you're totally right

[lurker_and_poster]

It warms my Heart to still have Andrew Allen in professional skateboarding- he skate exactly as
I woud skate if i woud be better and not such a pussy to gave up at all that tech battles.

So manny golden moments in the Part. The ditch stuff, backside smith back flip out, all LA high and barrier tricks, noseslide pop over to backnoseslide shove it pop over line… have watched
that part already >10 times. Love it.

its interesting because he is skating low impact but that doesnt take away how gnarly it is and how badly he can still slam and eat shit. especially some of those hill bombs.. looked sketttchyy. its refreshing to see gnarly + technical + style + creativity more than just hitting handrails. idk its all good i just like how AA is skating however he wants to

the gnar is in the style. If you have the right style you can make a simple move looking gnarly... then you have guys grinding tripple kinker - and it looks boring - you just think - please  stop sitting on that fucking rail.

on the other site - skateboarding in general is gnarly - i had my hardest slams with skating little curbs or bombing a hill.
The few times I really was trying something "dangerous" "heavy impact" bomb drop / gap / rail / deepend stuff -  I never hurt myself really hard- it more a mindgame stepping out of the comfort zone .

Obviously  there’s really no concrete answer for this …..


….but out of instinct I perceive it as fakie solely on his foot placement: right foot over the nose  (fakie tail ) , and left foot over bolts.

Whereas if it it was switch , it would  be left foot over tail, and right foot over the bolts.



Since he doesn’t “pop” into the trick any which way , it kinda places the trick in a Grey area of sorts in terms of labeling

Whats the absolute best AA part in recent years that you'd show someone who's new to him other than this one?

[DaleSr]

His prevent this tragedy part is fucked

[fredgallSOTY]

in terms of recent parts Hockey II or III are insane

[Frank and Fred]

I liked it when he skated to the Lost Boys soundtrack.

But his Uncut Vans Propeller part was great also.

So many handsome slams.

[ilovegay]

His Boys of Summer parts are great!

[Swithflip]

Im an AA hater since I know him as skater.

But this part was fucking good, I loved it.

Better than Suciu one for sure.

[wiggitywiggity]

Some marijuanaaaa, if you got some.

Was just listening to Doolittle and wondering why more Pixies songs aren’t in prominent videos. I get that it can be an on the nose song choice, but this part shows it can be done right!

I felt very validated when that bass riff started haha

Hockey II

[Rockin Robbin]
