The Legendary Andrew Reynolds

He was born in 1978 in Lakeland Florida, and Andrew Reynolds started skateboarding in the mid-1980s. Even at an early age it was apparent that Andrew was a very unique skateboarder. Today he is 6"2" and credits his height as one of the reasons he has gotten better as a skateboarder.

You really can not go anywhere these days where you do not see a group of kids skateboarding. There are several million kids who do it in the United States alone. As an industry it as only been around since the late 1970's and the many different tricks done today have not been around that long compared to things done in other sports.

Apart from skateboarding, Andrew also loves collecting jewelry, diamonds, playing the guitar, shopping for DVD's and clothes. He also likes to edit his video footage along with the ones of his friends on his PowerBook.

One thing for sure is Andrew Reynolds has become a legend in this sport because of his ability to create tricks no one had done before. He is well known for his trick The Front Side Flip.

After 20 years of achievements in the field of skateboarding, Andrew Reynolds is now a renowned skateboarder. He appeared in Tony Hawk series of video games.

It was said that skateboarding originated from the ideas of Californian surfers who wished to surf the street. This was in the 1950's or 60's. Nobody knew who invented the skateboards.

His tricks could be seen down the Wilshire fifteen set in the LOVE gap in the Emerica Video This is Skateboarding, "Baker 2G," over the Hollywood High School's 16 stair rail, the Wallenberg Set, and over a 17 stair set in Baker 3 of which all he performed himself.

For example one of the most popular tricks is known as the Ollie. This is where the skateboarder slams the tail side of the board and moves his front foot towards the nose, creating a lift off of the ground. This move is less than 30 years old which shows how really new this sport is.
