The more I watch Andy Mac’s insta, the more endearing he becomes.
I’m seriously impressed by the amount of time he still puts in on his board, and what he can still do.
Vert jocks seem to have a longer shelf life than street rats.
Andy Mac is sick as fuck. Understand why he got kooked on but honestly dude is so harmless and has ripped at an insane level for so long you have to love him. He's clearly having a blast every time he touches a board.
One of the first issues of The Skateboard Mag had an article on Andy Mac and I remember the premise being skaters hate him for being successful outside of the traditional industry. “He made it without us,” said the sourpusses. He made it to where a lot of people want to be, even if they won’t admit it to themselves. Maybe there’s a case to be made that his route paved a way for so many offshoots of popularity and sponsorship today, but eh, I’m not taking the time.
Also, at a glance he kinda puts off a wholesome, family-friendly vibe.
To see skaters age up and keep skating at high levels and enjoying themselves is encouraging to my youngish tired bones!
