little known fact: Andy Anderson was raised by a wild pack of fire hydrants

This dude has unlocked all the characters and finished all challenges and now he's just free-cruising and enjoying the game.

This guy is just on another level. He's operating on a frequency that many will never or see or understand. I hope he influences billions of people over the course of his life.

Andy is bringing the focus back to what skating is…flow, creativity, vibe. Skating has gotten so technical its lost to everyone but him

dude is definitely chilling on a higher level of consciousness than 99.9% of people

Absolute Legend

This guy is on Mullens level in terms of how he sees and feels skateboarding. Legend in the making.

Listening to Andy talk about waling his route and greeting objects and things really hit me hard. I've lived in the same town my entire 31 years on this planet and the other day I drove down the street in between the house I grew up in and my old elementary school. I walked that half mile stretch on the sidewalk twice a day from 2nd-6th grade...and countless times in between going to friends houses. The city had decided to tear out the entire sidewalk from that stretch, and make a new walking path for bikes and walkers. For some reason it really tore me up initially, I didn't know why. I guess just those memories of the cracks in the sidewalk, and different things along the road that I always day dreamed about walking that route. I was teary eyed for a minute or so, before I realized that now there is a new path for some other kid to talk along and enjoy like I did. I have always struggled with getting older, but change happens and it reminds me to go with the flow.

9:52 I was like: "this doesn't seem like the type of dude to smash a skateboard in anger..." Guess I was right.

Best skate movie I’ve ever seen. Inspired for life 🌸

The dude that stops Andy and tells him how sick and humble he is totally took me by surprise and made me cry ffs. Beautiful film.

At this point, I'm convinced that Andy Anderson is the only dude who's found Chin and lived.

This kid inspired me to pick up skate boarding at 47 years old. Just turned 48. Can't skate like him at all, but damn is he an inspiration. Amazing.

Andy Anderson is that guy who could win every game of SKATE by doing tricks that have no name and that you've never seen before, but instead he uses the game to teach you something new so that you can have even more fun whenever you go skating.

16:09 My favourite moment. Andy handled that confrontation like an absolute god. Really inspiring interaction skills. goes on at 24:16

I am nearly 60 years old and thought this was the coolest skate video I've ever seen. I love Andy's attitude. I was a skater back in the mid 70's, wow things have changed! Andy has me smiling from ear to ear.

"It's one thing to discover it, another thing to do it and it's another thing to make it beautiful." Surprisingly, I needed to hear that.

That backwards push got me feeling some type of way

"How many worlds are in your world?" is a great quote man frick

I’m gonna start skating again at 31 years old. Thanks for bringing skateboarding back to life

Man the way Andy talked to that old grumpy man was exactly how ball skaters should talk to security guards and etc. screaming and fighting does not make skaters look good and sometimes it can burn a spot. Hats off to you Andy!

I loooove the typical "I am so angry that I am throwing away my board" at 9:53 that you can see in every skate video, which turns into the most zen move ever !

this is beautiful. I used to skate in NYC all boroughs except the Bronx from 1976 till 1992, and now at age 59, seeing what Andy is doing here really makes me smile and is having a very positive impact on my life. Thank you Andy, you've made an older man feel young again, even if it was just briefly.

1st, Shout out to the Zenga Bros for producing an amazing video. They captured Andy very well. 2nd, Andy humbles me. The way he handled the disgruntled old man was inspiring. Andy didn't get sucked in to that mans world and stayed positive through that whole encounter. I will now approach tense situations with a different attitude based of this. Hold on to your joy. 3rd, He skates OK too.

It almost feels like Andy doesn’t even know how good at skateboarding he is he’s just so genuine and genius and he’s in his own soul and he’s like just so comfortable and free that he can do anything

This film needs to be watched by a lot more humans than just skateboarders Great job!

Just got back into skating because of Andy, I feel like it helped me unlock my mind again. I got so caught up in corporate life that I forgot what it's like to just...be. A new world has been discovered and I'm so excited for this adventure that awaits. Thanks Andy!

Always come back and watch this for a “reset” Andy not only looks at skateboarding in a beautiful way.. but life in general. Just riffing through life. He isn’t just a great ambassador for skateboarding but for the human race. Very inspiring person.

This kid is skateboardings spirit animal.

"Who's giving me these cues? And it doesn't matter, as long as you listen to them." 21:20 Dude's in touch with the universe.

This is literally one of the best skate films I have ever seen. Most skate films are just balls to the wall skaters shredding parks and vert and whatever without any real story or angle to the film. Andy is such a unique soul. Besides being one of the best street skaters on the planet, he's just a killer human being who's truly in touch with everything and everyone he comes into contact with. Just the fact that he wears his helmet to ride a sidewalk, rocks rib bones on his street deck, and doesn't conform to anything whatsoever deserves high praise from any who respect the art of skateboarding.

Him running into that tree SO hard always cracks me up. Its like that scene from Hot Rod.

“I live a block down” As that’s where the ambulance was parked 😂 Andy’s the best!!

I respect the hell out of Andy Anderson. He is 100% without a doubt pure skateboarding. He went against the grain, dealt with all the hate and just kept pushing. Never stop what you're doing Andy.

Could not have chosen a better title for this film. I highly recommend watching "The Search for Animal Chin" and "Seen Him" back to back. Andy has certainly seen him. He has seen him in his mindset, in his skating, in the way he approaches things, etc. I like a lot about Andy's mindset-not everything-but a lot. He is bringing a breath of fresh air to skateboarding and demonstrating how to search for Animal Chin to a new generation. We can all learn something from him. My absolute favorite skater right now. Rock on Andy!🤘🏻

This guy seems like he's always in a good mood and so nice to everyone and honestly inspired me so much. I will admit I dont treat people well and watching this video really made me open my eyes about how I am towards people. He's seems so outgoing and confident I love it and I really wanna be that way too. Thank you for this great video:)

best part of this whole film for me was in the closing credits, where the pissed off old dude from earlier is actually hyped about being in the film. Andy's attitude towards the confrontation completely transformed that energy into something beautiful.

I told my kids to stop doing their homework for 20 minutes and made them watch this movie, their responses to it was epic. Totally inspired by your actions man...Thanks Andy for showing us what cool really looks like.

Andy is such a spiritual being... Holy shit man... That's a true Gentle Soul as the other man called him. Humility and Love speak through him. A big thank you just for showing yourself to the world the way you are, Andy.

Not only does Andy inspire you to be a better skater, he inspires you to be a better human. Such an amazing part!

I'm starting to see why people speak so highly of Andy. An awesome dude. He has definitely found Chin. And he is helping the rest of us find him too.

“Seems like a welcoming day” Right after, he smacks into a tree

Can we take a minute to appreciate the cinematography and the people who captured it in this epic video 👏👊

I just found this kid (I say kid because at my age im old enough to be his father) about a week ago. His "mantra" and vibe are so damn peaceful and tranquil. Seeing him ride and his entire way of doing what he does on 4 wheels is inspiring.

Never in a million years would i expect to start tearing up during a skate film. This guy is so at peace. That man towards the end was so right about Andy. So glad I stumbled across this.

That confrontation with the property owner was just too much. "I really wish you a good day sir, I really appreciate it!" I lost it. What a character!

19:30 is something that beyond every other beautiful thing is this video hit me so hard. There absolutely is a skill to relaxing and a skill to being at peace. I can’t express how far past skateboarding this video is. This is life at its core.

Wow. A skate video never made me cry before now. Bravo!

It should all be like this. Incredible film, thanks for making this!

I don't even skate but this was one of the most inspirational pieces of film i've ever seen. Andy is such light in this dark world, we should all strive to take his advice and try and see things the way he does. Rock on Andy, thanks for being you, from a total stranger.

This is not a skate video. It’s a lesson on living. Astounding insight for such a young man.

I’m gonna start leaving several comments every time I enjoy this film. Thank you 🙏🏽

wow, that random dude shaking his hand and telling him he had a gentle soul and was raised right almost brought a tear to my eye... dang...

Andy is the reason I picked up a skateboard again after 20 years of taking a break. He makes skating fun

'Relaxing is taking control of yourself, and accepting that you're not controling anything else" Yep. That's it.

Im almost positive Andy wasnt born but rather just appeared one day wearing a skate helmet and holding a board to bless everyone ans everything he comes in contact with. What a one of a kind soul this kid is.

Andy skates with the beauty we saw in it as kids and has expanded it into something entirely new

I love Andy's vibe and his whole outlook on life. Very wise and mature. We need more like him in the world.

The skater who is the hardest not to like found a way to make it even harder not to like him. Great piece.

I only recently got into skating and discovered Andy through the Braille Skating KZfaq channel. What a free spirited, gentle and humble kid. The world would be a better place if it allowed more souls like him to bloom. I'm truly humbled by his openness. Wherever you may be today, merry Christmas Andy! :)

Probably one of the best skate videos I've seen for a long long time, it's almost unfair for anybody to compete against this. No cliché fashion shot's, No regurgitation, No over produced production or relying on massive hospital drops or rails, just a guy with absolute mastery over his board and a great personality, this has definitely opened my eyes to Andy more than any other piece I've watched of him. TBH I used to find him obnoxious and grating but this video show's him for who he really is and show's his skating in the best light also, nobody is skating like this, nobody is really putting their own stamp on tricks and movement like him, maybe Dan Corrigan is pushing the boundaries of normality within skate culture but I feel he is very indoctrinated in whats cool to do and what isn't where as Andy just does Andy and makes it look good no matter what anybody else thinks. I had to write an entire SA on this just because I felt it deserved my true opinion 🤣 if my man can spend hours just skating to a shop from his van, the least I can do is spend ten minutes writing a comment on how much I appreciated his work. 👊🏾👏🏾

Tourism White Rock could not have done a better job at promoting the city. What a wonderful movie! Andy is such a talented, kind person.

Andy is one with the board. You can feel his soul coming through it. Truly a free spirit. Changing skateboarding for the better

Best skate movie ever. I mean it. Thanks, Andy, for the nice tricks and the wise words

I cried. Seriously. Such a good piece portraying the love I have of boarding and why. This kid is my mentor. I’ve been skating 40 years. He embodies it to the T

Andy’s mom: Don’t talk to strangers. Andy to stranger: You wanna come inside?

He is definitely in one beautifull mindset far wiser than the average thinker of our times...

This video showed the reason why Andy is so awesome. The way he respects the world and everyone in it is awesome,

The world needs more Andy Anderson's. What a humble dude. Was given the gift of life and isn't taking it for granted, such an intelligent dude.

Can we get a DNA test, he and Mullen must be sharing a bloodline.. Beautiful film... and +100 points for having Venetian Snares play..

Omg this was SO good! Andy Anderson is such an amazing and luminous soul! So wise for his age and it is immensely beautiful! The filming was gorgeous as well and a perfect companion to Andy’s approach to life! These are the kinds of skating videos we need! Mike V. Once said something along the lines of.. someone will always come along and start making skateboarding about being technical and flawless but someone else will always bring it back to being about art and self expression and that’s what’s beautiful about skateboarding. Andy brings both to the table with the added bonus of just being a great human! Love this, love Andy!

Thank you for stopping to say hello to us. Hope we run into you again someday. Thank you for inspiring us to LIVE FREE and SKATE HARD! Inlakesh!

" we should be carful going down this hill in the woods" Andy: " i got a helmet man ima sprint"

Homeboy flows through the universe like no one else

After 30years of rollerblading it's because of andy Anderson at the age of 35 I have taken to skateboarding the guy is a legend he is the Rodney mulen of our generation

Old man gives young punk a piece of his mind but the plot twist is the young punk is one of the all time greatest street skaters.

It's funny because dude is literally the sickest of the modern era and literally just floats around. Can do gnar as well as freestyle and everything in between seemingly with little effort. But the only thing people see is his choice of headwear 😐 eventually people will see the genus here.

"How many worlds are in your world?" Such an inspiring line

I will be going back to this video a lot of times. Life lessons here, I am at peace somehow.

Nothing compares to a Powell Peralta skate video. The Stacy legacy. Above all in video creativity and intellectual undertones.

This is one of those rare videos on KZfaq, where the comment section is just pure positivity. So beautiful. Thank you Andy, for simply being true to you. Look what it does to other people. Brings out the wonderful true nature of other humans.

"Skateboarding is illegal in WhiteRock, but you just do it anyway" He's like the Kevin Bacon of skateboarding!! Keep on dancing, Andy!!

it may sounds a bit weird, but this movie was so inspiering, andy is such a cool person🤝

the guy around 20 minutes had it 100. andy anderson is the goat, he's an amazing athlete but his attitude is what really puts him in a league of his own imo. love watching anything he does

Such an inspiring guy! Love this movie 🔥

20 minutes of biblical magnificence, yet likely the longest skateboarding video including the smallest amount of skateboarding tricks per minute, including no lifestyle or showing off bullshet but the real thing. I love Nyjah, but all his vibe and you know what I'm talking about and everything that goes along with it can literally fack itself. THIS IS IT! THANK YOU ANDY!

Rodney Mullen was one of my all-time favorite skateboarders and there's so many old skaters that I could bring up or mention but Andy is definitely near the top of my list right next to Mullen he just reminds me of this generation's Rodney Mullen

This might be my favorite skateboarder! I’ve only been skate boarding for a couple of hours though 😁

The Mark Gonzales vibes are real with this kid. Even his voice sounds a lot like him. Awesome video Powell Peralta

Just in the way Andy approaches his art is so genuine. He just skates because he fucking loves it. So sick.

My 10yo son met Andy at the local park the other day, and he was the nicest guy ever. I cannot think of a better ambassador for the sport. Thanks Andy, you're a legend!

Before I die I want to sit down and have a coffee with Andy , just sit and talk and maybe cruise around a little. I love his energy and it’s great having his mindset especially for me since I’m in highschool and everything just seems brighter now. Thank you Andy if you see this or if someone sends this your way I’d like to thank you for spreading your positivity to others including myself ur a great dude and just a pure inspiration to many souls across this planet

the way he dealt with that old man... what a class act. wow

I love this dude. He’s rad. I can’t tell if he’s super stoned, done a shit ton of acid, or naturally like this and it’s Fucking sick.

Pause. 100’s of Andy videos in it’s always getting better. I loved the skating the wood platforms park and now this freestyle lifestyle living in the van and playing on toy skateboards and keyboards. This is how a skater should enjoy everyday. Even if you have to have a job with the same route. Get out. Don’t stay in. Explore and create. Live and love and let live and love. Love it. Andy you inspire 1,000’s and even my 40 yr old butt. Peace Love and Andy Anderson!

I haven't been interested in skating for 24 years.. can't stop watching Andy. What a great dude! Seems like a great human but also such a skilled skater!

im 24 years old, ive been into skate culture for at least 10 years. no one has ever inspired me to skate, until andy. the aura this man emits is infectious. what a man. cant wait to see him nail the olympics.

"This is the line bro! That acid drop kickflip comin up... HAYAAAAAA!" Dude this made me smile from ear to ear!
