This is actually pretty awesome. Think what you want about Andy or freestylers in general, he's a great representative of a niche kind of creativity in skateboarding and his general message as a skateboarder is a way healthier kind of inspiring to the average kid than a lot of the more contrived bullshit that's otherwise out there. Better see a whole new generation of skaters looking up to him and embracing a carefree approach than one more obsessing over wearing uniforms and how well they can backside tailslide their little skatepark box, really desperate for corporate validation. Etnies is also one of the least obnoxious brands out there right now. I can dig it.
My favorite skater is Jake Rupp, remember. Also I suck at back tails, remember.
