The helmet-wearing pro's rebel spirit shone through as he disregarded The Berrics' rules, leaving skaters aback.
Despite his reputation as a super nice guy, Anderson's rule-breaking act has raised questions about the limitations of individuality and adherence to competition regulations at The Berrics' game of S.K.A.T.E.
The 27-year-old executed his first trick using a grab called "Beanplant 360 varial fingerflip."
Anderson also showed his badass "Wet Stop" trick as his death blow. However, the judges David Reyes and Zach Doeling, including Erik Bragg, didn't want to accept it anymore.
He crossed the line laid out by The Berrics, famous for its lenient adherence to rules and regulations.
Anderson's unconventional approach to the flat-ground contest may have expressed his authentic style, but it left him facing severe repercussions and backlash.
The Powell Peralta pro has long been celebrated for his unique approach to skateboarding, embracing the helmet that sets him apart from the pack.
His disregard for conformity has made him a fan favorite, as he skates with an undeniable flair.
Hence, in the competitive realm of BATB 13 and its rulebook, Anderson's rebellious streak proved to be a double-edged sword.
