Over here at QS HQ International, we have been posting Johnny Wilson’s videos for a long time. Like 12 years or something. We were by no means the first ones to start pushing them out to the ether — we first caught them off Skate Jawn back in like ~2012 (show of hands: Space Heater? Skate Video?) — but they’ve been a fixture around here since before, like, Instagram had video capabilities and shit.
The momentum from those videos helped fuel the skate careers of Cyrus, Max Palmer, Nik Stain et al., in addition to companies like 917 and Limosine, which provided an additional platform for their skating. But Andrew — Johnny’s just-slightly older brother — always went by his own beat, clocking one of the best parts in each and every one of those Johnny vids. Drew briefly rode for an early stage Alltimers before hopping over to Polar for an extended stay, and ultimately finding himself on Krooked, which blessed him with a pro board that has been long, long overdue.
