Andrew Reynolds, (born June 6, 1978 in Lakeland, Florida, U.S.), is a professional skateboarder. He has been skateboarding since the age of nine. He emerged onto the skateboarding scene in the early 1990s and won Thrasher magazine's Skater of the Year award in 1998. He is nicknamed Drew, The Boss, Spock, and Turtle Boy. His signature trick is the frontside flip. He has performed this trick down the Wilshire fifteen set in "Baker 2G," the Wallenberg Set, the LOVE gap in the Emerica Video This is Skateboarding, over the Hollywood High School's 16 stair rail and over a 17 stair set in Baker 3. He is also known to dominate skate spots with memorable tricks such as full cab over the handrail in the beginning of his part in the Birdhouse video The End, and a nollie cab down the Carlsbad Gap. He is currently starting a new company called Deathwish Skateboards.

[edit] Personal life
Andrew currently resides in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, California with his daughter Stella[1]. He's not a vegetarian, despite rumors. He "suffers" from something he likes to call "madness" (basically Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), used for clearing his mind before doing a trick as shown on his epiclylaterd.com part called *The Madness Episode*, in which he backside flips the massive Wallenberg four, in San Francisco.
