A. Hero’s Welcome: Brian Anderson Interview | On his career history + first gay pro model

I dropped in. I bailed my first trick or two. And then I’m just out there. I couldn’t even hear what song was playing. I couldn’t hear anything. My whole brain went numb. And I was like, “This is insane. Why did I turn pro?” I’m watching fricking Ronnie Creager killing it. And Sean Sheffey is there … all these idols of mine. I am not one of these guys. I’m not worthy. I really felt like, “What did I just agree to?” • To read the rest of A.

As long as these Brian Anderson interviews keep popping up we’ll keep spreading the love. In such a terrible week for skateboarding the acceptance that the world has shown BA is a bright light.

This The Good Problem interview with Brian specifically focuses on the how his board sponsorships have gone throughout his career and the latest news of going pro for Antihero. It covers getting on Toy Machine, leaving Girl, starting 3D and having Alex Olson quit on him, to getting burnout and stopping the brand and finally joining Antihero. It’s been a long, strange trip for Brian to finally be recognized as A. Hero!

Here’s just one epic sample:

“Julien (Stranger) always loved Girl, but he did say, “If they fucking kick him off for being gay, I’ll put him on Antihero tomorrow morning.” I swear he said that, and Bear was told me, “Dude, I always thought that was so fucking cool.” We’re all throwing back beers, raging, breaking stuff, and jumping fences. So it’s like, I’m the same as them. I just happen to like dudes.”
