“This dude looks like he should be in the Misfits.” We can’t remember who said this while watching Andrew Allen’s Hockey 2 part, but we back it. Although he’s maybe a little too nice. With style, power, a nonchalant demeanor and unassuming approach, Andrew has become one of our favorites. So we loaded up the gear and went to spend some time in his old stomping grounds, an odd OC community called San Juan Capistrano to see where it all started. We pet llamas, saw where he started skating and toured his childhood home all before heading to LA to skate with Terp and AVE. But it’s all there, go watch, all new Fairly Normal starring Andrew Allen.

Fairly Normal: William Aliotti Episode 027: On the Road
Episode 027: One of the good things that has come from the Internet is the instant access, 24/7 coverage of virtually everything. Whatever you’re into.

Fairly Normal: Cam Richards Episode 025: A trip into the deep south for a story that was far from ending @sealtooth
We shot guns. Caught a shark. Rode motorcycles. Drank light beer. Ate fried food. And immersed in deep southern culture with Cam Richards and his family.

Fairly Normal: Dane Reynolds Episode 024: A norm core look into the world of Dane Reynolds and his family
Thanks to social media we often get blips and a few laughs from behind the scenes at Dane Reynolds’ house. His wife Courtney’s (@NapkinApocalypse) Instagram is must-see social media. Between Sammy, Boogie, Pam and the pigeons, it’s cute content overload. And beyond that there’s Dane, the man way behind those scenes. Dane recently produced Chapter 11,…

Fairly Normal: Nate Tyler Episode 019
He’s mellow but somehow punk. Humble and radical. Friendly and legit. His story has been painted a myriad of ways but never quite how we saw it. So we went to him. And made him show us more than usual. Waves, people, family and backroads of his Central California. What we found was even better…
