As we previously reported, Powell-Peralta's top-seeded professional skateboarder and Olympian Andy Anderson took to social media to advise all skateboarders to get permission before releasing any Already Been Done (ABD) tricks.
Due to his competitive nature and rule-breaking attitude, he didn't give a single f*ck to anyone criticizing him about his opinion about Never Been Done Tricks (NDB) in skate video parts.
Still, Anderson followed the OG rule that a pro skater should never steal someone's hard work on a specific spot to pay respect to the first person who landed it just like Milton Martinez asked permission to Dustin Dollin when the last of the Piss Drunx Was trying to land a kickflip down the iconic Sunset Car Wash Spot.
Below is Dollin's two videos attempting the trick, which is the same as Martinez's trick that made him become the 2019 Skater Of The Year.
The core rule in street skating was harsh back in the day and since everyone should be nice and accept everyone in open arms - doing the same trick on an iconic spot, it became evident that the new generation is more focused on inclusivity.
Despite Anderson's hard work on his darkslide, he still let Ricky Glaser get the shine even though he did it first by congratulating him for landing the trick, but it was supposed to be the last part of his video that he was saving.
On the other hand, Glaser admitted on his YouTube channel that Anderson did it first before him. Hence, some in the skate community assumed that he probably knew the darkslide but still did it anyway.
The Youtuber also felt bad and apologized on NKA Vids YouTube and said, "Really sick to see the process. Sorry again about how the situation unfolded. Looks like holding the slide was working pretty good for you, I feel like the width and bevel on the curb made holding it so much harder than it needed to be. Go back for the FS one. Much love"
The gatekeeping mentality in skateboarding was normal back in the 90s and early 2000s, but just like Dustin Dollin felt, skating got soft, and everyone is welcome like in pre-shool and Gen Zs are into that now.
