Skateboard media moves pretty fast these days, and I think it’s good to occasionally remind ourselves that just because something came out today or went viral on Facebook 4 minutes ago, doesn’t necessarily make it better or more valuable than skateboarding from years ago. It’s even easy to neglect the timeless and progressive skateboarding of our most beloved skaters just because they aren’t in the vortex of daily content.
With that in mind, we had our friend Joey Sinko edit some of BA’s most memorable video moments so far and drench them in 90s and 00s nostalgia. If you ever wanted to remember why you love Brian Anderson or forgot that the gentle giant is a full blown shredder (and a former SOTY), check this one out.

Sheep, whoa that’s old. Back when CCS was called California Cheap Skates. 95-97 or something, 20 years ago. Back when brands like Airwalk, Basic, Daewon world boards, Powell, were big. even pre Muska Shortys era. I still love th eS’ shoes from back then.
