I never tire of this clip.

Re-promoting this video to the front page as a VideoSift Classic. Originally published on Wednesday 22nd February 2006 (promotion called by gold star member joemawlma)

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

This guy is amazing too (stunt BMX):
