I'd love to see Mike Mo on here as a regular. His skate IQ is so high. I feel like his input on new video parts, tricks of the week, etc. would be fascinating.
Has to be. Cause any time hes in a youtube video hes whining about something or cheating in a game of skate. To see him actually skate is rare. Let alone do something. And even less, do something right with a witness.
@@torsion2 Gotta love how certain people like to shun the influence of freestyle that made their whole world possible. Without Rodney we wouldn't see the world around us the way we do. Song is carrying that torch. Mullen and song are the best we'll ever see because they don't allow what other people think to control them, and they do what makes them happy...and it's all love. Just look at the way Rodney talks about Dae in Songs documentary...you feel the love coming through the screen...now THAT'S what skating should be.
I met Mike Mo during the Lakai tour back on August 1st of 2009 in Santa Monica on the 3rd Street Promenade and he's a real cool guy... wasn't put out about having a photo taken with me even though I was rockin' my longboard that day because it was easier to cruise there on it and not have to deal with parking. I broke my left foot skating in Venice the next year a week before the new Venice beach park opened and little did I know at that time that it would halt decades of skating. I also met Rodney Mullen on October 28th, 2010 after the injury. I was explaining to Rodney a trick that I had been working on for about a decade though had never landed "clean"... landed it once with my back foot hanging (no footage) a bit off the board or shit foot. It's a primo slide/stop combo trick. Rodney pulled out a little black book/pen that he was carrying and had me write down all the steps along with my contact information (same phone# still... I don't change it in hopes I'll hear from him someday). I was hoping one day to see some video footage and see Rodney flash his hand palm with my name (I'm sure he would give props as he strikes me as that sort of awesome dude) or something though it still has not happened (to my knowledge). In this video when he said that Koston said "I don't think Rodney's done that" it was overwhelming to me and I want to throw a pair of Independent 139s on 7 3/4" board with some Bones Swiss and hit the flat ground again! I have met a few other professionals while skating in San Diego... Bucky & Andy. I'll say that to date Mike Mo and Rodney are ahead of their time!! Whatever these 2 guys do in life... even if not skateboarding that their charisma shines - massive style points! I'd really dig sitting down and chillin' with Nine Club as a spectator of skateboarding. I can't call out all the names of this that or the other tricks (as the combos are really going THPS these days) though I know what I see & the difficulty as a skater. I just really enjoy skate culture and the progression it has seen through the years. Worked at a skate/snowboard shop for years and those were the some of the best days of my life even though I didn't make much money. I know we are all inspired by different stuff in life though I would have to say that meeting both Mike Mo and Rodney were like dream moments... getting a photo with both & even having a short conversation. I really wish I could talk again with Rodney about that trick I was working on for so many years... I know he could land it on the bolts & take it to the next level. Many thanks to Nine Club for invitin' Mike Mo on the show... made my day - have him on again for sure!!!
Your story, and the feeling you typed it with came through perfectly. Im 44 years old and felt like a child meeting some of the greats as you explained it in this piece. Thanks for for making this old head feel like a kid again, and I think you should reach out to Rodney...hell write a fuckin letter if you have to, because I want to see that trick lol. In all seriousness though...reach out to him. Enjoyed reading this a lot homeboy.
Mike Mo has been my favorite for years now . I use to watch his part on fully flared always … replay it replay it replay. My friends… me. we Still couldn’t figure it out after watching his part on repeat for weeks. 😆
Somewhat related, but something I noticed skating in steel toe boots or heavy footwear is that when you then skate in regular shoes, your pop and control is better and you learn to realize that boardfeel means absolutely nothing and is a crutch. It's sort of like impromptu resistance training
@@andofb I'd like to think im getting fitter again. Its honestly not taking me long to get back to where i was. If i want to just cruise and and carve the park thats when i get knackered haha. Been hitting it everyday since i got my board. The knocks are definitely amplified though.
Good for you guys! A bit jelous here, was of the board for almost 5 years. Was 31 when i started again, never was the same and still isnt close 5 years later. But i still love it as much as i ever did
i loved mike mo when i skated from about 2009 to about 2015. i stopped skating and started working and im back and i was just thinking not too long "what happened to mike mo." this first thing i thought when i saw he stopped skating as much was his Cod addiction finally consumed him. but im so hyped for the nine club so i could hear from my fav skater again.
I remember watching that trick in the part with my buddies and we kept rewinding it to see what the hell type of trick it was. At first we thought it was an inward heel but realized it flipped the opposite way. Then we thought it was just a real nice dolphin flip but he never used the front foot. We just agreed that it was a super nice pressure flip lol it's good to finally find out, the back foot flick was so subtle I don't think we had a chance at guessing
At least it was him driving that golf cart. Had it been someone else that dude would be getting some HEAT. It's just said because by age 14 or 15 he had grown man style
He’s not competing in BATB again man, I hope I’m wrong and would love to be corrected but he’s pretty much done with skating. He talks about it in this episode.
All this grief Mike is getting between him and his board is temporary. There’s no way mikes walking away from the love and respect he has for his board and everyone there. This is just a test Mike. You got this !
FYI I always thought mike did a dolphin flip in that line I seen Rodney does those impossible late flips. He does 1 with a double flip near a puddle in questionable and over that bump on sidewalk i thought. He does double though I think. Lol it would be random to build random boots or spring shoes to do next level flip tricks. That fancy lad guy Matt should make them.
yeah I thought Rodney does one in questionable but it looks like its an impossible that has a 360 flip in it? the footage is so grainy. He does one by the puddle in the wonderful world section so many mind blowing tricks in the ....1992 WOW
@@goutOX yep. The back foot pulls up the impossible then the front foot late flips the remaining 360 flip motion. I do believe you are correct in that the back toe is NOT slipping under on the way up with the impossible as even with the grainy footage this would drastically alter the trajectory of the board but then again im in my 50's with glasses on lol Those were special times....
dude, i had a buddy back in the day who learned impossible late flip because he was learning to 360 flip and that was the only way he could do it. he needed the underflip of the backfoot to get it to spin. this was when we were like 14
thats sick, similar thing happened to me, well i didn't learn it but, i was figuring out impossibles and then i accidentally did an impossible late flip because i lifted my back foot too fast, landed it with one foot, then I was like oh so this is how you do these lol.
same but i do it the way he described it in the video where i flip the board from the bottom so it comes out as an underflip and not using the grip tape like how he does it, also mine comes out as the full 360 shuv so its like a 360 shuv with an underflip halfway through, i actually cant do it with just a 180 rotation, seems way harder for me
I wish Julio De La Cruz had more video parts. I think his style of skating was probably viewed as illegal by the mid-90's, but that dude was really unique, and he also had great style. He did the weirdest stuff and made it look good. He also did that one flip trick using a rope attached to the board, where he'd pull the rope and flip the board; totally proto-Fancy Lad shit.
@@FALL-LAFF-7477 Just that one from the New Deal video Da Deal is Dead, I'm pretty sure. It's a really short part. I've seen some other later stuff of his, which was great stuff, but it was petty standard street skating without all the crazy flip tricks he's known for. If you've seen his stuff, I'm certain it was from Da Deal is Dead. I think he invented the feather flip, which can be seen in that video part. Video parts were often very short back in the day. Kids today might not get that those short clips were actual video parts. Today we see people put out stuff constantly, and for older skaters we're like, that was a whole video part, pretty much, but it's not, technically.
I used to do dolphin late back foot flips and God damn it was hard as I only ever landed 5 out of a few hundred attempts. the weirdest flip I ever landed by accident was a dolphin flip with a body varial and an accidental late flip but this was on a box jump. 360 shiv with a late shuv was fun too as you scoop with the back foot. the one thing most people get wrong with late flips is you actually kick so gently but quick.
Hate to be that guy but while he’s right that they are one of if not the best skates you ever made, those are actually the Howard 4.5’s not the Howard 3s.
Sad many skaters will live their dreams while mike mo already accomplished aton but now hes handicapped so his legacy wouldn't get to be as it could have been but i am very grateful he is alive and here with us
Why does this show constantly try to reinforce the " what is cool and normal" for skateboarding. Quit gatekeeping something that was litterally born from creativity and NOT fitting in.
Can we keep the trick in one freaking place on the video? Why does your genius editor keep moving it from the TV to the PIP square? It's actually the only thing I need to focus on because I can still hear the commentary through the magic of sound, so please try to get this one thing right.
I love you guys but as an old time skater from the 80 ‘a you Guys spend so much time on ankle flippy tricks .. and I get it it but a kick flip .. just gives me zero excitement.. shove it .. like really .. I don’t get the whole ankle flippy trick thingy ?? Chris Miller tweaking a giant front side air gets my nuts inflamed .. a flippy ankle biter trick just doesn’t do it for me
I'd love to see Mike Mo on here as a regular. His skate IQ is so high. I feel like his input on new video parts, tricks of the week, etc. would be fascinating.
Mike mo as a fill in for Eldy and Kelly
Also he is hilarious. Definitely need more mike mo
Yeah him and Chris Cole. High skateboard IQ.
Remove Eldridge and put him as a regular.
@@TRAVIESO_NA You could take Eldy out and put Mike Mo in permanently.
To personally witness Koston's bag of obscure tricks is an experience of a lifetime.
Has to be. Cause any time hes in a youtube video hes whining about something or cheating in a game of skate. To see him actually skate is rare. Let alone do something. And even less, do something right with a witness.
Koston: I don't even think Rodney did that
Mike Mo: _fuck yeeeeah!_
finally some props to RM on this show. He needs more love

Rigghht?? Then says everything he does sucks lmao
Hes crazy
Imagine not being able to pop your ankle down, or even feel your god damn foot, and doing these tricks

@@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo the gained confidence over powers the board feel
I could sit down and talk about this era of skateboarding for hours
It's such a shame that we don't have more of Mike Mo's footage of any kind.
Mike needs to be on this every flippin week
7:19 - Crob getting ready for BATB12
If Mo's knee didn't get shattered at his prime, he would continue doing weird flip all over his parts and winning BaTB with those.
Rogers ability to follow and offer known similarities to these tricks is highly impressive
Mike Mo didn't have to worry about if that looks good cause everything he does looks great!
Mike mo needs to be here every week
MikeMo actually doing BATB? Heard he was in for it and I'm hoping to see him
Yes
"Still to this day no one is really doing that stuff.."
Jamie Griffin has entered the chat
Jaime Griffin is on another level, and he practices constantly.
He should definitely be on a pro team.
32 years old, just got a board to chill with my nephew. Just realized i havent actually lost it, just unfit.
Bruhhh! Lol. Same here!!! Just unfit...
Practice and repetition is all you need, and you'll be reconditioned in no time 👊
I'm 26 and Skating takes so much more energy than I remember. My mind wants to skate a whole lot more than my body allows.
@@andofb I'd like to think im getting fitter again. Its honestly not taking me long to get back to where i was. If i want to just cruise and and carve the park thats when i get knackered haha. Been hitting it everyday since i got my board. The knocks are definitely amplified though.
Good for you guys! A bit jelous here, was of the board for almost 5 years. Was 31 when i started again, never was the same and still isnt close 5 years later. But i still love it as much as i ever did
I’ve FINALLY landed an Impossible Late Flip. Took me about a year on & off to finally get one. Hoping one day I’ll have them on lock like Mike Mo lol

Mike Mo is a beast. Win or lose im rooting for you in BATB. I know he's still got it.
He’s not competing in BATB again man, I hope I’m wrong and would love to be corrected but he’s pretty much done with skating. He talks about it in this episode.
@Frank Bonazza III that’s makes me beyond happy to hear. Like I said, I wanted to be wrong🙏
Mike Mo gets interrupted like 100 times lol
When some of the most knowledgeable skateboarders can't figure out what the trick is... Flippy flips
3:47 eeeee 😂❤
Jimmy Carlin in Flippity Flop Pit Stop, did both of those tricks
That shoe with the ankle brace is nuts
Excellent Footage breakdown. M. Mo.
Ripping .
Why do the change the clip every time the review the trick at the exact moment they show the clip.
That first line from fully flared is the steeziest line ever
we used to do a step off version of that impossible late flip in the 90s the real fancy guys would flip it back the way it came
All this grief Mike is getting between him and his board is temporary. There’s no way mikes walking away from the love and respect he has for his board and everyone there. This is just a test Mike. You got this !

i really did your trick Mr Mike Mo but i was making it my trick but its yours... f..cken love impossible late flips and its hard as you said
In credible channel. I live in Oklahoma, im 49 and went hard, i built a huge ramp in my parents backyard yard
Matt Hoffman would call but never showed. He had his own shit, but my ramp deserved respct.
I made my dad watch the part of the video where Buckys dad said we just decided put in a ramp.
.i understood how ppl didnt know if they talped or not lol
Rodney did to it in Round 3 and his Opinions parts.......
that first trick was a late hardflip, wtf!!
Why his impossible late flip just look like a tre
yea, I hated when that happened
If that impossible late flip is from pretty sweet, then jimmy carlin did it first I think.
It's from his xgames part.
Am i the only one that can’t understand rog?
