Worst trick && could do at iconic spots

Andy is taking skating in a fresh direction, and while he himself may not be taking it to its final beautiful form, he’s providing the groundwork for the next generation. I mean,. Ishod is good, but he’s not bringing anything new to the table. Andy is doing that work. And I’m here for it, even it it isn’t polished. Other people will do that.

That being said, reverse spacewalk to fakie ollie off the diving board at the next Vans Pool Party

i really hope kids don't start to skate like him. and && really doesn't do anything new besides chaining old freestyle tricks into thps combos. it's not that creative imo. yeah, he's gifted, he could probably skate normal pretty good. imo those grind combos are just tasteless. going to a spot and filming that acting like it's sick is the real crime here. there's nothing cool or avantgarde or futuristic about smith to nosegrind to lip to smith to front board pop out to slow tic tac.

the worst thing about && is that he skates slow as fuck, you can see he wants to do some casper or primo bullshit all the fucking time so he can't just haul ass. when he skates handrails he goes 3 mph and locks in almost in a standstill so it takes him a minute to grind that shit and he will still turn it into another trick one the last two feet of the rail before coming out so it has some "creative" edge to it.

the guy just always finds the worst and most dumb looking ways to skate a spot, it's incredible. a true legend.

i hope you're wrong and i'd wish the kids would emulate franky villani instead. that's a creative skater that actually skates with style and speed, still hits spots in unexpected ways and can make illegal tricks look great.

and i have nothing against && personally, just think he's way overhyped because he's different, not that cool and edgy. something the always online hyperdorks of gen z can identify with. and old heads love him because they fetishize powell and the bones brigade and the good old times before actual street skating. they love that he doesn't comform to the typical modern street skating norms. well ok, i just think his skating is derivative, trick selection is ugly and i couldn't even tell you about &&s style. he pretty much has no style, positive or negative, which makes it negative again.

other than it being needlessly complicated and convoluted in approach there is really nothing new or innovative about &&s skating.

it's so funny to think about rolling up to a skatepark in 10 years and a) every kid is wearing a helmet with a brim and b) every kid is doing handstand caspers or balancing smith stalls on every obstacle in the park. Flat bar? Handstand. Funbox? Handstand. Stairset? Handstand.

every kid would be that kid that stalls for way too long and ends lines in some stationary trick to tic tac. it would be horrible. every turn would take half an hour. everyone would try and turn their bails into some made up trick to continue their runs. it would be the worst type of chaos and no cool tricks would be done. instead of manualing the top of the funbox kids will try to perpetually g-turn on it and just block it out even more. instead of using ramps for gaining momentum, they will be used for crabwalk races up and down. devil sticks will be the most popular side activity for young skaters. instead of actual bikes, skaters will ride to the spot on unicycles and instead of yewing at each eachother they take swigs of kerosene and cheer each other on with fire breaths while listening to fishbone.

Imagine waiting to drop into the mini except some 12 year old is balancing a smith on the lip for 10 minutes and counting, crouched down like they're taking a shit. To be fair, I think Maite is also guilty of this but she was stalling to chug a beer, which is marginally less offensive.

front willy to front 5-0 nose grab to nosegrind tail grab, finger flip out on the flushing meadows ledge. He lands nearly sideways then tick tacks out and does a strawberry milkshake

[Resident Jeff]

Walk down the Martin Place double set because that thing is not skateable.

andy anderson was that kid who would come over your house and not say hi to your parents

&& the kind of kid who comes over to your house, opens your fridge without asking (my mom hated that) and eat your sister's secret stash of chocolate so she's mad at you for 2 weeks.

Truck walk up El Toro, 540 spin around at the top to 5-0 stall on the top step, truck walk back down.  I can see this in my head with perfect clarity, and done without an ounce of irony. I hate Andy Anderson with the heat of a thousand suns.

[Allez_Jambon]

Slow comply nose Manny the court house stage. Fakie coffin Goth st? FF imp Manny circle reverse polarity space walk FF impossible off the upper Manny pad near the esplanade along the river.

This is how I feel. Every dork including myself has done the horrible ledge/coping crab walks. it takes no skill people just trick themselves into believing whatever makes them seem less shit. Why not copy Shane O'Neil's ledge combos? Oh nah that's not cool...... I'll do the nosegrind to lipslide to smith... It's totally original....
I'd honestly rather kids copy Mike v and just do fucking bonelesses. Actually I remember when pig slaughterhouse came out it was like every dork started bonelessing, buttsliding and baker maker-ing all day and I'd take that again over whatever && comes up with.

lol, exactly.

You know, I was just thinking, is there a way we could figure out a way to get Doug Brown, Todd Falcon, and && all together? I'd watch the shit out of that.
