"I like.. trying to find new ways to skate old stuff, or old ways to skate new stuff"...This is by far the ultimate description of Andy Anderson's skate approach.

It's funny how Andy used to receive flak from other skaters in the past for being "different" until everyone realized he absolutely RIPS, all while being a genuine and kind soul who lives for skateboarding. It's so good to see him get the attention he deserves.

"i just wanna push people to think, rather than just accepting what their given" 11:26 This sentence right here changed my entire perspective of this guy and made me a fan

Thanks for including me in this project 🔥🔥🔥

They pissed into his helmet. 5:00 Because he wore a helmet and didn't conform to the majority of idiots risking fatal head injury. Love that he speaks about this - doing you and preservering against peer pressure is only achieved by the strong. Go Andy 😊

Don't ever change andy. We love you because we see how much you love skateboarding. And that's all that matters. Doing what makes you happy and staying true to yourself. Thanks for all the inspiration and lessons you've given me. Hope to skate with you someday. Best wishes

Freestyle, bowl/transition, street and combine all disciplines of skating with video parts, creativity as well as being a competition skater and street skater. I think he embodies all areas of skating and he has a library of knowledge in his brain too he really knows his stuff and history

From his new part into this. Just a tremendous night of Andy skating and content. He inspired me to pick up a board for the first time at 28 years old. He made it look easy and fun. And while it is not at all easy, it’s just as fun as he made it out to be.

One of my favorite skaters to watch honestly. Very unique, and Canadian to top it off.

Andy is without a doubt my biggest inspiration in terms of skating. Keep crushing dude

I love you Andy, big big thanks for letting the skate tales team get a glimpse into your life. You are truly amazing bro. ❤ so so much influence, definitely one of my favorite all time skaters!!!! For realz.

I feel like Andy’s been hiding waiting for his part to come out. Good to see him again!

Madars is the perfect dude to skate with Andy. They both have out of the box ideas

Andy is definitely on another level! He’s such an inspiration I swear! Keep stoking us Andy! You got great Steeze💯

Getting hate for wearing a helmet. How insecure are people? He's smarter than 99.99% of the scene.

It is not just his talent and skills its his entire being that makes people love his skating, Andy is a master of his craft in many ways 👏👏

The best walking alternative!

Dude, he was so good so long ago. he has evolved so far beyond what he was doing before, that was already so far beyond what was normal for most pros lol. Seriously rad. I'm just taken aback by the creativity, the consistency, and the ease with which he does the most outrageous tricks. And he truly does blend so many styles into this perfect unison of everything skateboarding has been and will be. What a genuine and chill dude, and truly in it for the love of it. Keep it up, Andy. Might have to come up from Newport one of these nights and hope I get a chance to watch you demolish Venice 🔥

YES HE IS AND HES SLEPT ON, GIVE THIS MAN HIS FLOWERS. HES TOP TIER

I just watched Andy’s part last night, and I’ll say like I said then, Andy’s skating is truly different and unique, I’ve been skating for over 20 years, alot of parts that come out, and tricks see on Instagram or at contests, I may not be able to do all of them, but I understand them, and understand how you could do it, Andy’s skating is a different story, I’d say more then 75% of his tricks are ones that literally blew my mind, he defies physics on a board, and he is such a genuine soul, never met him, but from years of watching him on the NKA videos I feel like I know him, it is so lame that people give him shit for wearing a helmet, skating is a creative way to express ourselves through our tricks,style, clothing, and so on, if you don’t want to wear a helmet then so be it, but don’t hate on the next man for protecting his brain, the same brain that thought of all these gnarly tricks and concepts he has, that’s like hating on someone because you wear leopard skin pants and they don’t want to, it’s pointless, the fact that he did not get the recognition he deserve 5-10 years ago is criminal, this dude has been this good forever, and he has only gotten better, so while the rest of you were worried what everyone else thought, Andy has been killing it, and the best part is he not once in my opinion has seemed bitter or resentful in any way, in fact I’ve seen him give props to skaters who most definitely were hating on him, humility is something inside you that can’t be taught, you have to find it within, and Andy is humility in skating form, I could go on and on about Andy, he is gonna be known as the skater who made freestyle skating cool again, while also making every other style of skating look cool, scratch that, he just makes skating look cool, if by some coincidence you read this Andy, you are an inspiration to me and so many other, keep shredding

My parents would never let me skate or.l bmx without a helmet. Then I started racing motocross and always wore a helmet. So for me seeing Andy with a lid on made me respect him 100% and I'm 39 for context

Not detracting from his character, this guy has major Mullen vibes. Love watching him skate and listening to him! What a legend. Keep it up!

Skate Tales episode of Andy is long time overdue but I'm really glad it finally happened Madars and Andy is a great combo of innovative skaters Also happy to see Rog in front of the cam! you rock Rog

This 15 minute video took me 26 minutes to watch. He has a timeless style, i love watching Andy skate.

That truck grind was great. Really encapsulates the creative nature of skateboarding

Andy is everything skateboarding needed, humble honesty, artistic endeavour and love for all beings. Canadian bc philosophy brought to skateboarding is so nice to see with young people. I grew up in invermere bc moved to calgary in 2000 to film skateboarding, got to film thomas, koston, and many others in my 20s. havent been a part of skateboarding for many years, but still watch videos all the time. when andy came on the scene and brought his philosophy into his art with skateboarding is so refreshing. ive said it before and said it again this is the kind of person young folks need in the world today. good on ya andy. as someone who has had a head injury , even with a helmet ( hit my jaw hard on a fall) I love his advocacy towards helmets and having a i dont care what others think vibe is important. this here is a true role model. Makes me want to get back on a skateboard even if its just easy simple stuff. no having to go big or go home, its all about the fun and the art of it. Nowadays im older, got kids that are grown up and It makes me happy they have people with a good world outlook to look up too in skateboarding today

Andy’s attitude towards skateboarding and life in general is beautiful to see! The world needs more souls like his 🤘🤘

This should have 5 million views.... wtf. We love you, Andy... You are skateboarding....

Yo red bull has been turning it out- dayyyyyyum this is such a good pairing with his part- big ups to maders , hes now the "most roped off" (crob coin) field correspondant in skateboarding

Mike V probably gets overlooked a little bit when we talk about versatility. He's been skating everything (street, transition, flatground/freestyle) for decades now and has very clearly paved the way for a guy like Andy to come along and be successful.

Andy earned his place in the hall of fame. Not many can say that. Its about his skating - but its probably mainly about his personality. Congrats, Andy Anderson!

“I just want to push people to think, rather than accepting what they’re given.” Andy is so brilliant, that sentiment should be repeated across all hobbies. Keep it up man 🤙🫡

Dude legit became my favorite skater.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered. Props to Andy for staying true to his style and what brings him joy!

Damn, I remember when Andy was living in an old ambulance! Crazy how far he has come and I'm so glad he is getting the recognition from the community ❤❤

This guy is exactly what this sport needed. I haven’t skated in a decade but I can tell it’s a fresh take on skating. Kid has positive energy and positive messages for the youth. Even the helmet. Keep rocking it man 💪🏽🤘🏽

Dude's so rad...and he showed up on the scene just in time to shake things up & push the limits for everyone.

I f**kin ❤ Both of these guys

Mullen and Hawk and Cab and everyone who invented a trick paved the way for Andy to just absolutely rip any obstacle in existence and show what skateboarding truly is.

been waiting on a new season! thankyou so much Redbull for making more skatetales I love this show! will watch the rest on your website to show appreciation, & never replace Madars until he don't want to be on anymore

This is pretty much the perfect video to explain to my family why Andy is my favorite skater. Awesome mini documentary!

Definitely my favourite skater. Dude is so great to watch!

Andy is the Bob Ross of the skate world. No mistakes, just happy little accidents.

i learned while watching this video how much art there is to skateboarding. really inspiring stuff

This was really well done, thanks Red Bull Skateboarding. We need more people like Andy in this world. Kind hearted genius.

Andy is such a creative skater, pretty rad seeing the blended styles - freestyle - street - pools - transitions, etc.. Darkslides to 50/50 impossible out. One of a kind. Awesome video.

Mushrooms for that intro, from Uganda to Japan to Brazil to Iowa to Venice, your our HERO madres, eternally stoked on the skate tales, and it really gives the heart of redbull its shine, it’s not a board with advisers it’s really a conscious group of humans or one leader, it gives you wiings! ❤

“Is the best walk alternative I ever thought of” this is the most true, raw skateboard vibe I ever seen

Got the mind beaming, glad to see andy skate i feel like he fits the scene and hope it inspires other aging young men to stay on the board as much as they can!! I know we are all different with style... nice to see somebodies work-out

I watched Andy in his early days and always liked his style and enjoyed watching him. This video just solidified Andy as my favorite skater. Hopefully one day I can see him skate in person. Keep rockin and rollin Andy 🤟🏼

He’s the most creative and refreshing skater ever. People that hate on helmets are tripping because skateboarding is the highest impact sport out there.

“How to define my skateboarding?” The title said it! It’s “Versatile Skateboarding”. The way how Andy thinks, imagine if Red Bull or whoever asked Andy to come up with a Versatile Skateboarding contest. Makes you wonder what will he come up with for that contest.

man the tail blunt to gap to tail blunt again was soooo freakin next level.

I loved learning more about Andy!

Andy Anderson, Mike Vallely, Mark Gonzalez and people like them are THE definition of skateboarding

I love him. The real skateboarder. I watch every video with him on Nka Vids Skateboarding. And it's good that I subscribe to RedBull

I'd love to see an Andy and Madars world tour video! Their styles blend so well together, especially the way the see the world around them. Skating the spots nobody else would skate, skating how nobody else would skate 💚

@RedBullSkateboarding This is just beautiful! How amazing it is to bring us this pure soul and massively talented guy. Thanks for this episode. I can’t wait to watch the whole series and make sure my son watches it too when he grows up.

2 amazing people and skaters great mini doc

andy needs his own show. a skateboarding historian show.

Andy Anderson is the definition of a ATV I know it’s already said but still he can do it all pretty much

powell should just do a whole kilian and andy video doing freestyle stuff with street obstacles incorporated

It's pretty cool to see how the haters, including myself, got swayed to love Andy Anderson. At first, a lot of people, me included, didn't really get his whole vibe. His unique style and quirky personality made him stand out, and not always in a good way. But as time went on, his insane talent on the skateboard and his genuine niceness started to win everyone over. Andy's skills are off the charts, and he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet. Bit by bit, even the toughest critics, like me, started to appreciate what he brings to the table. Love you Andy

I'm in my forties and I haven't skated in a while, but seeing a random Braille video about Andy a couple of years ago re-ignited my passion about skateboarding. I think this man is a gift to skateboarding, and I just love his attitude and his views about skateboarding and life in general. Just an inspiration to me atleast, and that's what counts really.

I didn't know this guy yet but i LOVE people like Andy. Same with Zeb Powell's snowboarding, you just can't get tired of watching. Pure creative freedom mixed with pure skill and a constant seek to defy what's known possible.

“There’s a lot of haters just cuz he wears a helmet” seeing the magic of his moves in the first two minutes and I LOVED seeing that helmet.

This is so awesome! Love seeing Andy skate! :3

Great stuff as always with Madars!

This documentary was wonderful. Thanks for posting it!

A lot of the skating community was not ready for Andy Anderson. But over time everyone is coming to the same conclusion. He's a nice, humble, and knowledgeable dude that rips like nobody's business and he is the kind of generational talent that skateboarding needs to help push things forward. He wears his influences on his sleeve and has become a master of marrying all of the different styles of skateboarding into his own flow that is wholly his own. I would not be surprised to some day see people say the name Anderson with the same reverence they say the name Mullen.

For sure one of the more interesting modern skateboarders who comes up with interesting tricks which definitely shows in the way the thinks about stuff! Glad to see this episode :) would love to see Gou Miyagi and Andy have a duos part/session!

Props Andy , keep killing it out there !!🤙👊

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 i thought Hippie Mike was Christina Aguilera flasing Andy 😅 13:58

The peoples skater! Just a pure joy & love for skateboarding and it shines through his skating.

i wont lie, i first saw him on braille, and i immediately could see how genuine he was, im glad to see him making progress and succeeding

Wow helmets respect history it says it all this dude really knows himself well🇦🇺🤙

You know he's gonna destroy street comps when he makes it out of the 90's 😂

My favorite skateboarder ever...got on the board 1986...had to stop 2004, but am still following !

Andy is the man. A true 1 of 1. Love watching him skate!

Man this was fantastic

What a kick-off of the season. Rad!

These two are such a fun creative duo to watch!

i love your skatetales, madars. keep on doing them. stay human !

Hey @Redbull. The world needs more Andy Anderson!

when I started skating in 1985, we would push around all day and do little Ollie’s and slappy grinds. Then when Ban This came out, Ray Barbee’s part sort of encapsulated how skateboarding was supposed to feel to me, and whenever I skated I thought about that Ray Barbee intro and that’s what got me most stoked to skate. Andy Anderson is on a level like Ray Barbee, but from every angle x10 to infinity set to extreme beast mode

god damn i love this show

Andy, you are one of one. You inspire me. You will always be a legend in my mind.

I love you Roger bagley!!! Shout out old buddies!

such an artist and an innovator. imagine being one of the grown adults bashing up or pissing on his helmet, like, grow the hell up and focus on yourself. this dude doesn't deserve anything other then respect for being this talented and creative.

I’ve always loved Andy’s skating, ever since I first saw him skate. He is one of a kind. He can do it all. He is an ATV skater hands down.

What a legend. Seems like such a cool guy, just doing his thing. Keep it up

His next skate part deserves to be in this HD format.

One of the most versatile skaters of today. Street, Park, Transition, Rails. Anything he can't do?

Man hearing him say Dogtown and z boys blew his mind as a kid Same Andy it’s literally what made me realize I didn’t have to try and be like everyone else and I could do flat ground tricks and be satisfied while all my friends were worried about kickflips

4:48 I saw Andy Anderson's career end; or himself pancake die on some big redbull vert transition, glad you're still here, and there's like 30 more years ✌️😇🫒

Andy the BEST!

love to see how far he has came from our local skate shop to now a big skater its awesome always chilled at chuck bailey good days

Love this ! Skateboarding in it's entirety is so deep, there is so many aspects of it that are fun but maybe not so "mainstream" if you can label it that way. Andy encapsulates my idea of skateboarding when I think of skateboarding and I love him for that. Helps ofc that he's gnarly and super tech good good too ! Stay rad Andy and Madars, this was awesome.

Imagine dragging a dude through the mud for wearing a helmet. God forbid he doesn’t want to eat through a straw for the rest of his life. Also it’s a good influence. He’s a talented skater and when kids see how cool he looks wearing a helmet they’ll be more likely to wear one, and kids should 10000% wear one, also adults

Love the attitude, the style, focus on safety. Everything. 👍👍
