Soon after announcing the Swatch watch described above, Andy announced "Andy Macdonald's Big Air Straight Jump play set" and "signature Brigade miniature skateboard" in conjunction with Tech Deck *. Now skating enthusiasts can bring the action home and put their miniature skateboarding skills to the test.

Based on Andy's real life Guinness World Record jump, Andy Macdonald's Big Air Straight Jump play set allows miniature skateboarders to go for big air 'just like' Andy Macdonald. The play set includes an adjustable three-foot long ramp, along with stickers from Macdonald's sponsors, including Airwalk, Bones, Brigade, Grind King *, Harbinger *, Pro-Tec *, SoBe, Split, and Swatch. The jump set also connects with all Tony Hawk * skatepark * ramps to expand into the supreme miniature skateboarding skatepark.

"My new Tech Deck Big Air Straight Jump is just like the one I skated when I flew over four cars," says Macdonald. "Well, this one is a little less scary on the drop in."

Andy Macdonald's Big Air Straight Jump play set and the Andy Macdonald Brigade miniature skateboard are currently available at nationwide chains and local specialty stores nationwide.

About Andy Macdonald:
In October 1999 *, Macdonald secured a Guinness World Record, where along with his watch sponsor Swatch, he constructed an Evel Kneivel-style skateboard ramp * and proceeded to jump over four parked cars for a total distance of 52 feet 10 inches. In typical Andy style, his record would not last long. Just a few months later, in a competition held in Lake Havasu, Arizona *, Andy managed to not only out-distance the other competitors, but he outdid his own record with a jump of 56 feet 10.75 inches.

Andy Macdonald's laundry list of accomplishments includes seven X-Games * gold medals, a first-place finish at the 2000 * Gravity Games *, a Guinness World Record, five consecutive World Cup Skateboarding overall points championships, a U.S. postage stamp modeled after his likeness, a policy-related appearance and speech at the White House with former President Bill Clinton, and a position as a spokesperson for The Partnership for a Drug-Free America and ONDCP. At twenty-eight years of age, Andy (a.k.a. Andy Mac) is a multidiscipline athlete who in the last four years is the only professional skateboarder to rank in the world's top ten in both street and vert competitions. Andy's style and determination have made him a popular athlete in skateboarding today.
