Skate and Destroy
Andrew Reynolds was
born on June 6, 1978, in Lakeland, Florida. He has a regular stance which means
he kicks with his left and pops with his rights. He is also the owner of Baker
Skateboards and has 8 pro model shoes. Andrew has been skating since he was 9,
and won thrasher Magazines [“Andrew Reynolds”] “Skater of the Year”, award in
1998. He also suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which he refers to “The Madness”. Before he does a trick, he has to do
something 3 times, whether it’s tapping his shoe 3 times or calling out
someone’s name 3 times. If he doesn’t do that he panics and messes up his
motivation. Reynolds was
best known for his front side flips. He found skating off high ledges and big
stair more comfortable [Cave, Steve] than skating vertical ramps. In 2005, he
heel flipped and front side flipped 17 stairs [“Andrew Reynolds”]. Reynolds has
been known for going all out when it comes to skateboarding.
