How skateboarding legend Rodney Mullen got his nickname 'The Mutt' #shorts Watch 14 Things You Didn't Know About Rodney Mullen: • 14 Things You Didn't K...
@@fcohex6148Everyone's legal names were given to them at birth. It's not like they ask newborns what they wanna be called. Wtf are you even talking about? Your comment makes absolutely ZERO sense. Your first, middle, and last names are all your REAL names if they legally appear on your birth certificate and all other legal documents.
my mom made the same agreement w/ me until i learned how to fall/roll properly. after a year or so, she didn't give a shxt about the pads, and i been bombin hills gettin roadrash eversince.
There's no one I looked up to more than Rodney. I did an entire project report on skateboarding and a majority of it (1/3) had to cover him as the major change taking it to what is is today, from street surfing with some transition only skateparks like Petaluma ca old park (tony Trujillos park). Mullen added a 4th dimension to skating with popping Ollie's and flip tricks. There's many legends of skating only one Godfather.
I wrote my thesis on him and read his book multiple times. He's the Micheal Jordan of Street skating. The only difference is that Rodney created most of the modern-day skate tricks that people use today. Very underrated, and most people don't know who he was. The godfather of street skating.
He deserves all the credit Tony hawk gets. Lol This guy was always way more entertaining than anyone else on a board to me. Mullens is the goat PERIOD!
Don’t get me wrong, Michael Jordon is a GOAT, but Rodney Mullen has such a unique flatland style it’s like he’s playing a different sport. It’s like if you put Bo Jackson in the NBA and he just charges people like he’s still playing football
@@nolaz010 Rodney was like Jordan in the sense that he was stupid athletic and more cordinated over anyone in his era. Jordan had raw power and grace. Some players have only one or the other. Jordan also created many moves that seemed impossible then and it took decades for players to catch up and do many of them alot like Rodney and his tricks. There are still moves that Jordan perfected alot like Rodney where no skater or ball player will ever be able to do that's what makes them similar to me. Forget about the resumes, just physical and mental talent is unparalleled. Rodney had the mix of both at a really high level alot like Jordan in basketball
My parents called me by my middle name as a baby so thats the name I've always gone by. That doesnt mean im "lying to" people when I tell them the name I want them to call me by
So wait. You are telling me that famous people can just lie? No. No. Earth was saved from a meteorite by astronauts blowing it up. That is why we celebrate it each year on Jurassic Island.
As somebody who goes by their middle name, whose grandfather also went by their middle name, I'm mildly offended at the notion of dishonesty, and the implication or statement that one's legally-given name cannot be their "real" name
He got the nick name Mutt, because of how he held his hands and arms like a dog while doing footwork and 360s in his early career. It had nothing to do with his personal appearance.
Oh man... If it wasnt for Rodney's dad doing an effor of supporting his son thru a small gesture of cementing a portion of the Barn... We wont be getting kickflips and ollies.
Suprisingly alot of people didnt know his name was john, but calling his middle name a nickname is like calling a van with a bed in it a mobile home. Technically yeah but its not that deep. he was literally born named rodney..
It’s not that uncommon for some reason. In the 70’s and early 80’s, lots of parents used their children’s middle names. Makes life harder when it comes to paper work and contracts.
Ummmmm..... what are you talkin about nickname? You do realize that if people choose to use their middle name as their first name that's not considered a nickname LOL it's their name. Now if Rodney Mullen was born Jason Salmalac or Yakov Bistranilla then hell yeah change your name to Rodney Mullen and that's a cool stage name, because let's face it dude, you're talking about stage names and not nicknames. There's a big difference and you haven't gotten any of them right😂😂😂
haha did he ever say it was his full real name? That’s a lie haha Ice Cube doesn’t go around and get questioned. I’m just being playful and not an angry commenter.
So Rodney IS his real name. If it's his middle name, that's still his real name. It's on his birth certificate. If it was a random name he chose then that statement would be true. But it's not since it's his second LEGAL name. I know tons of people who go by their middle names but I would never make the argument that it's not their real name.
I wonder how you find the time to use so much footage not credited. And get so much wrong. There’s no end to the made up crap here. I can’t. Basin local for life.
“Small doglike appearance” the audacity 😂
Right lol? Wtf.
Boom roasted
😆 🤣 😂 😹
His book The Mutt is an amazing read! I highly recommend it
Agreed 🙏
It’s 🔥
“We’ve been lied to” goes by his middle name
It's not his REAL name, it's just the one legaly given to him at birth and one that he embraces and identifies with. smh

@@fcohex6148yes it is it’s just not his FIRST name.
I go by my middle name and people do get surprised when I mention what my actual legal first name is.
@@mastod0n1We know. We've been watching you, your whole life.

I met Rodney at Santa Monica 1991 together with Günter Mokulys. He is such a good and humble person.

My parents called me by my middle name as a baby so thats the name I've always gone by. That doesnt mean im "lying to" people when I tell them the name I want them to call me by

I'm so glad Rodney met Steve Rocco otherwise who knows where skateboarding would be today without him.
Suprisingly alot of people didnt know his name was john, but calling his middle name a nickname is like calling a van with a bed in it a mobile home. Technically yeah but its not that deep. he was literally born named rodney..

Not everyone chooses their first name. Doesn’t mean it ~*iSnT tHeIr ReAl NaMe*~
Rodney a yo ,idk man I think your not of this world. Can i SK8 to your world. 👍

“Not his real name.”
Hey have you seen Sully?!
He is still a wet dog. ❤
Soo... His name IS Rodney Mullen, cool.

@@ShredzShop 💯😊
So why did he switch to his middle name? I didn’t come for “Mutt.” I came for “Rodney” being a “lie” 🙄
Except it’s part of his real name so… kinda is his name.
What do people call you for your small dog like appearance

Ankle biter 🤣
Don bin cave toer men
It is his real name though
John Rodney Mullen
It’s not that uncommon for some reason. In the 70’s and early 80’s, lots of parents used their children’s middle names. Makes life harder when it comes to paper work and contracts.
Tu dis dla marde big
Ummmmm..... what are you talkin about nickname? You do realize that if people choose to use their middle name as their first name that's not considered a nickname LOL it's their name.
Now if Rodney Mullen was born Jason Salmalac or Yakov Bistranilla then hell yeah change your name to Rodney Mullen and that's a cool stage name, because let's face it dude, you're talking about stage names and not nicknames. There's a big difference and you haven't gotten any of them right😂😂😂
With teeth like that, who needs a father for a dentist?
You meant to write dentist for a father.
haha did he ever say it was his full real name? That’s a lie haha Ice Cube doesn’t go around and get questioned.
I’m just being playful and not an angry commenter.
😝
Just make a video screaming “mummy, daddy, please look at me” continuously. At least waste their time rather than ours
His name if not mut or John or Rodney. He is the godfather
John RODNEY MULLEN. "ITS NOT HIS NAME!".. Mhmm.
SO FAMOUS…never heard of em
😂😂
So he used his middle name. Crazy. I only have 4 friends that do the same thing.
laces out bud
So it is his name... lots of people use their middle name.
So Rodney IS his real name. If it's his middle name, that's still his real name. It's on his birth certificate. If it was a random name he chose then that statement would be true. But it's not since it's his second LEGAL name. I know tons of people who go by their middle names but I would never make the argument that it's not their real name.
So it is his name. It's his Christian name
RODNEY MULLEN ISNT HIS REAL NAME GOES ON TO TELL YOU THAT IT IS ITS JUST HIS MIDDLE NAME..
is this true?!
Yes 😂😮
I wonder how you find the time to use so much footage not credited. And get so much wrong. There’s no end to the made up crap here. I can’t. Basin local for life.
The disrespect, you for got to say “quote, dog like appearance” which I don’t see and only a jealous hater would say
