for those not old enough to know, Andy graced the cover of Thrasher back in the day. his contribution to sk8ing will be missed and remembered. RIP.
Wow, that’s crazy after all that guy has been through he dies of a bee sting?!
I met and ran into Andy throughout the years when we did Beast of the East and have to say he was as real as they come and contributed a lot to the NYC scene.
He will be missed but not forgotten!
RIP Andy and say hello to our other departed skate brethren, we miss them all as well!
I never heard of him, but he looks like a rad skater. Oddly enough, my mom sent me a link about this today.

Total shock. I can’t believe it.
for Kess I will look for captain zero and animal chin
For NY he had all the attitude of Ricky Oyola and after years of ups and downs he dedicated time to plant most of NYC’s public skateparks. I met him once and was floored by his personality. With all the deaths this year it’s horrible to see someone so great go down like that. A true skateboarder and role model. RIP.
