I’ve seen this kid skate a few times recently. He’s got some balls and attempts to go pretty big more often than not. That said, and this is purely constructive, he needs to RELAX and not force it. He tries so hard for the gnarl that right now he’s got a pretty fugly style. Thats not a slam, he’s got some real talent. If / when he just chills and lets it flow rather than forcing it, thats what will separate him from the pack. Right now its kind of like watching a trainwreck you know will eventually happen. Entertaining while it’s happening , but you know how the story is going to end.
Again, nice shot and congratulations on the hookup.
Well put I have watched his footage and totally understand what you are saying Lurker. Surrender to the flow and the style will come, but still Keep it gnarly!
i dont force any thing my styles just ugly i skate the way i do and do the tricks i do is cuz thats the way i like to skate. i like the rush. i dont for any one but myself the reson i go out and skate is strictly because i enjoy it impressing people dosnt mean shit to me just so you guys know but i appriciate your critisisum and dont take it personaly at all i respect you opinion regarding my style you are entitaled to it peace to all and praise Jah
i like his style for that reason! it’s unpolished and raw! and he has allot of talent! the fact that he dosnt care and skates for himself is an added bonus! andy’s a great guy and a true ripper. and his skating reminds me of better days!
i hope everyone had a happy new year!
