Damn I love Rodney Mullen's skating. That song at the end was fucking terrible though, who the hell picked that, and what the fuck was it?

hmm, somebody's a rodney mullen fan

that guy really does not look like a college-aged gentleman

Rodney Mullen is THE MOST influential skater of all time. He has invented the tricks that are the basis of all street skating, and few people outside of skateboarding know who he is. It's a damn shame I say. He invented the Ollie and the Kickflip for christs sake!

I've grown up watching skate videos, I remember seeing the video where other skaters breaks mullens freestyle board and gives him a street board. Rodney Mullen used to be a freestyle only skater, the kind of skater that skates on flat ground, no obstacles and just do tricks, they use tiny boards that are easier to flip.. (I believe the background for choosing freestyle was his parents didnt want him to get hurt riding on ramps or stairs)

He used to be THE best freestyler, then he bought over nearly all those tricks to street.. technically, he is just in a league of his own. I believe he invented things like the darkslide, where you grind with the board upside down, and lots of other tricks

Perhaps comparing him to Rodney Mullen - a technically brilliant flatland skater - would be more fitting.

I used to think that nobody could do the tricks that you pull off in the Tony Hawk games, until I saw a video of Rodney mullen. This video, from thps 3 I think. http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=145
