Didn't realise he was still pretty decent.

Andy's cool.

Pierre has a "bro model" deck out at the moment on Into the Wild (Jérémie Daclin's little brand)

Shout out to this lil weirdo gettin his. Etnies should make a marana mid with tongue straps / no logo.

Those look like Minilogo trucks. I don't know anybody else than Andy Anderson riding them

I ride them......cheap, light, and they turn real good.

[BartHarleyJarvis]

Andy’s been Etnies flow for a while. Well deserved
He’s also on minilogo trucks and wheels. Which are great products, but put dude on bones official.

I’m not even a fan of the dude, but I do think his skating and influence is under valued.

If those are his color ways, then bleh.

I sort of disagree with this. I do like that there's room in skating for (almost) everyone, but parts of the industry are trying to make this dude happen and i'm pretty tired of it. There's a whole youtube subculture machine all cranking out andy anderson content, including people like the nine club and the berrics.

He's super creative, he obviously rips but his whole kit is wack and I just want him out of my face forever.

The freestyle overlord cabal has decided it so

He's on Bones already, often prototypes. Bones bearings and rails too. Powell boards (obviously) and Mini Logo trucks with a mix of Mini Logo and Bones bushings, so it's Skate One all the way. He's discussed his whole setup a heap of times such as here .

The vid's cool. The shoes, not so much. Maybe they'll grow on me.

[DanCorteseFromMTVSports]

This guy skates like an 80s movie montage.

That's the internet algorithms showing you what you secretly desire to see.

My first actual skateshoe was a Etnies, it was good quality too

The outsole on the Marana Michelins lasts fucking forever.

Also OP did you have a stroke while typing the thread title

I had a pair of Dill's pro shoe and the flick was great. Currently have the Veers and it's not a bad shoe either. They can make good shoes. Unfortunately they went too far into the mallcore/extreme rabbit hole, the shoes largely look ugly, and there's no real brand identity or flavour to Etnies either. I get that it's a historic brand, but it's not appealing.

[lk130]

If you can get into skating for really cheap it's good, then just depends how u like ur shoes and like to spend. I personally got the Czar's in the days of catalogues and liked to see why shoes were priced that way. .

This website is another one of those special easter eggs from the internets, as far as rich content goes.
Please to enjoy.

I'm just glad I got to see Pierre Andre do one of his hilariously fruity ollie one foots.

I also always forget he owns etnies.

Thank you for sharing this @Lou Strux - this is great. I think my favorite is the Tricks Tips [sic] section where there actually are no tips and just more sequences of himself throughout the ages. Shout outs to Bob's Trick Tips if anyone remembers that amazing prehistorical website (because prehistory was before mankind invented social media, right?...). Skateboarding really drives all kinds of profiles, I genuinely fucking love it for that.

Dude holy shit I saw that "to tell the truth" one flipping channels one night! I think it was on one of the broadcast channels that came in on the antenna. That flipped a switch in my brain that hasn't been touched in like 15 years haha.

Another ML truck fan checking in. I know they look dumb but they skate awesomely. They're one of the only low trucks with an axle over 8" I've skated and they're the best turning ones by far. They're responsive but not twitchy and they're stable as all hell. I don't love the grind, but not because it isn't functional or anything is wrong. It's just a preference thing.

They do look a better without the stupid embossed logo on the hanger but unfortunately 2 of my pairs are old ones that still have it . They're maybe the dorkiest looking truck I own now that I don't have navigators anymore.

Gnarred for pitch-perfect word choice.

I don't know why I watched the video but i will say the axle stall to axle stall on the rail was pretty sick

I didn't know that was Pierre, I thought it was somebody from Foundation

It’s always so funny to see the nostalgic dinosaurs here bemoaning Andy Anderson. The kid has massive appeal, the best selling deck in the world (despite costing like $100), and he is an absolute ripper. But to the Boomer wanna-be Hellriders of Slap, since he wears a helmet and appeals to the wrong type of skateboarder (young people with their lives ahead of them, successful and well adjusted adults with jobs), he’s persona non grata.

Of course no one here could ever skate like him, and if he were actually shredding your local, you’d all stop what you were doing and watch him. And if he were branded differently but skated in a similar way (as is the case with Ben Koppl/rollersurfer), I suspect that the same people would claim to love him.

You’re sort of making a lot of people’s point. He’s being foisted on the industry as an *alternative* to everything those people think is wrong with skating, and I think that does rub people the wrong way.

Also, I have a much bigger issue with the wack ass full wrap shoes than I do the helmet…

[j....soy.....]

I think it’s kinda understood that no one on here can skate as well as the said pros they are criticizing……
