Mission Impossible.
Rodney created a contest where amateur skaters could win some money from the A-Team. Each of the pros had an ad with a difficult trick sequence and contestants had a year to submit their attempts on video. The contest started in the fall of 1998 and ran for all of 1999.
Andy was the first announced winner. He duplicated Rodney's nose manual to nollie 360 flip to win $1,000. It's cool how Rodney mentioned some of the other skaters who entered the contest, including a kid named Chris Cole.
The fine print disclaimer was amazing:
Only non-sponsored, non-professional riders are eligible. All videos are subject to review to verify authenticity and trick reproduction requirements (i.e. table height/length, number of stairs, etc.) LANDINGS MUST BE CLEAN. Offer not valid in communist countries.
Rodney was filmed by Socrates Leal and photographed by Chris Ortiz.
