Everywhere you go, you can see kids skateboarding most of the time in groups. Millions do it in the United States. It has only been around since the late 1970’s but the kids have managed to come up with various tricks compared to other sports.

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.

Because of his renowned tricks, Andrew Reynolds became a legend. The most celebrated one is the Front Side Flip.

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.

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.

In 2000, Baker Skateboards was started by Andrew along with Jay Strickland. They sell skateboard decks and wheels and make money from the popularity of skateboards. Deathwish skateboards, a sister company of Baker Skateboards was also set up.
