Havnt skated in close to 10 years. Watching your vids made me go pick up a board again.... I'm not as good at thirty as I was at twenty but the passion is back! Thanks jonny!
I'm with you too bro...I'm 32 in Sept. and it's basically been as long since I skated somewhat consistently with my buddies as the age I was WHEN I skated (15). That's 15 whole f*ck1ng years! Half a life ago... The funny part is how the stereotype back then had all these negative associations with living "hard and fast"... In reality, personally speaking, skating is a way for me to slow things down. It allows me to escape inwards and is such a great way to both expend energy and be energized at the same time. Untill you shin yourself of course.
@@ricksanchez8573 23rd brother. I'll be 32 on the 23rd...32/23 and you'll be 33 on the 3rd 33/3! Numbers man...they are all around us. Happy way early birthday my man. May we all keep on truckin' as they say. I'm sure some people still say that. *KEEP ON (🚚) KEEPING ON!!!*
Everyone, make sure you watch 'till the end for a sick line from Jonny...Jonny Nollie in this case. Seriously though, your editing and overall, your videos as a whole, have gotten to a whole new level. I really admire your progression AV-wise, but you know your boy Chris is here for (the progression of) your skating. It inspires me so.
Rodney Mullen did a small demo in the Ocean County Mall, in Toms River, NJ when I was a teen.. It was 1988 I believe. He is a legend, but at that time, it was absolutely mindblowing. Always a fan since. Skating is awesome, I still cruise around when I can!
8:11 "Not good enough..." This is the video highlight for me, because it demonstrates your ability to evaluate yourself honestly. I've only seen a few of your videos, but it seems to me that you're an appropriately harsh critic of your own performance, and that's a trait shared by all greats from any sport or any activity - you don't seem to settle for anything less than bolts. That's as awesome as it is rare. Excellent video, Jonny! :)
Skating is so dope...i used to skate as a kid, and i could even land a kickflip, but then i just stopped for some reason... Now almost 15 years later, I want to start skating again... Thanks for your vids man. Hopefully my old ass ankles can survive :D
@@Nibs333 :D yes thats certainly a problem... as a kid, scratches and bangs will heal quickly but when youre older, shit takes so long to heal and aches for days...
I’ve never put my feet on a skateboard in my life, but I’ve always been fascinated by the culture surrounding it and even more by skateboarders, the relentlessness, tenacity and sheer willingness to hurt themselves in order to perfect their craft is kinda motivating!
Love all the Mullen vids. It's amazing that in 1980s, he retired because he didn't have any competition at all as a freestyle skater. Then the 90s happened and here we are today. He's still innovating too. Amazing job!
Rodney Mullen is the guy that got me on a Board. I never was able to do a "Perfect" Dark Slide but man did I ever have fun trying lol I dedicate all the Broken Bones I had to Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk and Rune Gilfberg. You guys are and will always be my Heroes lol
I wasn't skateboarding for maybe 15 years now... watching these videos brings back the magic. Skateboarding is magic... skateboarding, electric guitar, the setting sun reflecting on the street... SKATEBOARD MADNESS FOREVER!!!
Hey Jonny, I was a skater many years ago, mid 80's, and remember when many of the tricks you make videos on were invented. I remember seeing Natas doing an Ollie over a dumpster in a Thrasher spread. I COULDN'T BELIEVE the Ollie's that guy could pull. I'm too old and fragile to skate now but I really enjoy your stuff man, thanks for posting. Stay safe brother!
i only clicked because i ALWAYS picked Mullen when i played the Tony Hawk games, the real life clips they showed in the game were so good and this guy was the best!
Just found your channel the other day. Like your commentary and content. Subscribed! I'm a 40 year old ex skater, i just got to say while Tony hawk has always been the guy to watch, Rodney Mullen has always been the MAN
I think your videos are the best I've ever seen! Watching you skate raises the desire to start skateboarding again. Thanks for letting us take part of your journeys. Regards from Germany!
It's one of the greatest feeling ever! I used to practice all Mullen's tricks, the darkslide was the second that I learn (back in 2005 more or less) I know your feel. Congratulations for remember this awesome skater who Mullen was...
Mullen was my inspiration to skate in the first place. Watching the Mullen vs song videos as a kid completely set my style, it was all about flipping the board in the strangest way possible and figuring out how to get back on lol. I haven't skated in a few years because of work and life but I can't wait to get out and shred again. Skate or Die!
I love seeing these classic tricks in the modern world of skating! Rodney Mullen is my favorite skater and this series is extremely satisfying to watch. Keep it up my dude!
This is so awesome watching you recreate the greatest tricks ever made. As a skateboarder I definitely needed to subscribe I’m out on an injury right now and can’t skate for 6 months but when I get back I will be uploading videos!!!
8:15 I'll never forget the time I was skating around downtown. Saw a pretty girl...so you know being a typical boy I wanted to show off. Did a heel flip and caught it like my man here and got launched! She laughed at me. heck.... I'd laugh at me too. Have a good day everyone!
Awesome trick. One little tip to make this trick easier is to use small pieces of grip on the underside of the nose and tail. If you look closely in some of Rodney mullens old video's you can see he did the same. It makes casper slides and little easier as your back foot doesn't slip off the board as easy.
Same here I sucked, what I didn't know at the time was I was doing olies wrong I had my back foot too far on the end of the tail and it fucked me up, im 37 now and when I was about 30 I watched a skate vid and noticed where peoples back foot was lol, My foot would be right on the end of the tail so when I kick it my foot would floor plant and my oiles would fail
I just found these vids and i'm for sure subscribing and already liked pretty much all videos. Makes me want to get back on a board. Started when I was 10 stopped at 17 and I miss it. I seriously wish I could afford a board to teach my son. I miss the days of building a deck with independents, reds, world industry wheels etc. I miss it man. Love the videos keep it up bro!
Love your channel mate! So inspirational after 12 years+ of the board. Started again a few weeks back and found your channel some days ago! Keep it up!
Sick sick trick! The Dark Slide! An awesome name for the amazing trick. Good Job on landing it and the video. Not a skater, but I admire the hell outta anyone who comes up with such creative ideas.
skateboarding is so underrated in the netherlands. I was bullied because i was a skater lol. Stopped skating when i was 16. Now its itching again gonna pick up a deck soon
You show the skill and perseverance in learning skateboarding like every trick I know....goes to show the hard work it takes n no one is natrual better, just dared to try ;).
Just picking....but you asked who invented the kick flip dark slide(?)....then you said Marko was the first documented....wait then you said Rodders. Therefore Marko, possibly, didn't invent it. He was just the first guy known to do it on film. I apologise but I'm so picky about things like this. (41 with adhd never diagnosed, only self medicated).Wheels on concrete is very calming for me. Again I apologise. Love this series. I couldn't ollie to save my life but I love what you do. You are absolutely an amazing skater. You and the guys you cover blow my mind, you have a gift. Please do more. Much love xox.
Johnny, what you do with Rodney's tricks is awesome! Brings back lots memories for me! Here is your next IMPOSSIBLE TRICK...SEMI-FLIP TO DARKSLIDE TO PRIMO TO ROLLOUT
Mullen overkill 9000 no joke lol, if he'd been pushed back in the day, and he had the perfect spot, he probably could have done a darkslide to primo to out. Mad skills though Jonny, I've enjoyed the series.
I am not a skater, will likely never skate in my life as my ankles already sprain too often but you are so into your sport that it's very interesting to watch. Also the way you are paying respect to such an idol is very nice. Maybe I'll try to do the same with Danny Macaskill some time :)
Havnt skated in close to 10 years. Watching your vids made me go pick up a board again.... I'm not as good at thirty as I was at twenty but the passion is back! Thanks jonny!

*KEEP ON (🚚) KEEPING ON!!!*
This format of video is perfect, not only landing the trick but explaining how to get there is what everyone needs to learn these tricks. Keep it up!
My "dream" trick. One day I'll get it down. Just gotta get the ollie first 😂
You will be able to do it! Just keep keep practicing man :D
Can you ollie yet?

Impossible tricks of Rodney Mullen

*All of them*
right 😄
Including the ollie and kickpflip?
@@thur9368 yeah it was impossible when he first invented it
They moment you realize.... they're ALL impossibles
@@thur9368 i mean he didnt invent the ollie, Alan "ollie" gelfald did, but rodney just took it to flatground a few years later
Hell yeah! You smashed it. I haven't skated in 15 years, I've been thinking about starting again! I think you've given me the boost I've needed!

This guy looks like hes 16 and 40 at the same time! xD
So does Rodney Mullen ha
😂 Deadass
he probably is
The funny part is I'm pretty sure his age is like dead nuts in the middle of 16 and 40

I’m loving this series!!!! I don’t think learning all of his tricks is an impossible feat for you jonny
That last one was beautiful Jonny! I’m loving these “Rodney Mullen” trick videos man! 👊🏼😎👍🏼
thanks man! put a lot of effort in it to get one cleeeean :)
Jonny Giger you’re very welcome good sir! And yes, it showed!! SUPER DUDER CLEEEAN!!
Loving this series, and frankly I’m glad you’re vlogging more. It is nice to here you talk, 🙏
thanks man :D

Enjoying this series and I'm not even a skater. Keep it up 👍🏻
Rodney Mullen is my idol. Was skeptical watching these but, you're killin it. Love these videos.
It's one of the greatest feeling ever! I used to practice all Mullen's tricks, the darkslide was the second that I learn (back in 2005 more or less) I know your feel.
Congratulations for remember this awesome skater who Mullen was...
Mullen is still alive yknow
Badasss video and edit. LOVE the little cuta where you call yourself out.. ie.. dont need qax cut away!!!! SO FUNNY.
haha glad you like em, they make me laugh while editing too :D
You have done these already. Can you even skate a handrail
Glad I found these, I look forward to seeing others. Take care and thank you.
thank you man! :)
I'm glad I've found you chin x

What’s best about these videos is getting to see your attempts and progression. Practice makes perfect 👌🏼
I immediately laughed at 8:15, then you said "MULLEN OVERKILL 9000" and I laughed even harder lol
I love how you show all the failed attempts. Really puts into perspective that even pros have to try a trick a shit load of times.
This is so awesome watching you recreate the greatest tricks ever made. As a skateboarder I definitely needed to subscribe I’m out on an injury right now and can’t skate for 6 months but when I get back I will be uploading videos!!!
Great job learning and landing these! That takes a ton of skill
This new series is pretty (&) sweet. Also nice that you make some longer videos again. Keep'em coming
Thanks for the positive feedback! :)
You can land it but never have the charisma Mullen had. It's insane how smooth and beautiful he made them look.
i honestly get super hyped watching your progress throughout the vids man. loving this series already!
Awesome Job as always. Loving the series. And a really good edit on top of it all.
8:15 I'll never forget the time I was skating around downtown. Saw a pretty girl...so you know being a typical boy I wanted to show off. Did a heel flip and caught it like my man here and got launched! She laughed at me.
heck....
I'd laugh at me too. Have a good day everyone!
Love the Mullen Overkill accidentally landing primo 🤣
That trick at 9:59 is sick! I had to slow the video down to half speed and watch it 4 times before I could comprehend what was going on.
Awesome trick. One little tip to make this trick easier is to use small pieces of grip on the underside of the nose and tail. If you look closely in some of Rodney mullens old video's you can see he did the same. It makes casper slides and little easier as your back foot doesn't slip off the board as easy.
Mullen Overkill 9000 made me spit my drink out from my nose and I wasn't even drinking.
I haven't skated since I was 14, I'm 29 now, and I wanna buy me a board and whip my ass in shape.
32 here doing the same with my son
14 attempting to learn how to ollie while moving... This is hard yet fun!
same dude. last skated when i was 14ish, now i'm 21. I got pretty fat and want to work out that way!
Man, just take it slow though. It really sucks to fall on your wrist at 30, you won't bounce back like you used to.
Same here I sucked, what I didn't know at the time was I was doing olies wrong I had my back foot too far on the end of the tail and it fucked me up, im 37 now and when I was about 30 I watched a skate vid and noticed where peoples back foot was lol, My foot would be right on the end of the tail so when I kick it my foot would floor plant and my oiles would fail
Props for you not settling for anything less than perfection. You the man!
Love the editing extras in this vid, Jonny! Top notch!
Laughed at the "Mullen Overkill"
highly agree
8:18 actually laughed very hard. MULLEN OVERKILL 9000! 😂
I loved playing Tony Hawk pro Skater and doing Darkslides all the time! 👍✊️🤘✌️
What a beautiful park with the amazing mountain view.
Keep this series going man! Its great. I ride bmx but i have the biggest respect for skaters and love rodney mullen!
i love how giger is just calm while doing this trick
Nice bit of ninja styling at the end there too! You get your makes when you go a bit faster and angrier.
The feet on the outside of the truck makes for such a clean looking trick. Great video.
I hit the like button on every Jonny Giger video as soon as I start watching.
I like watching your videos. You understand Skateboarding roots. Your very positive. And you are a very good skater! Much respect ✊
Rodney's board is an extension of his body. He's hypnotizing to watch
love the old footage and cheesy jokes lmao love this editing style bro!
Rodney Mullen was light years ahead of his time. Most creative skater that ever lived

That Moustache deserves a like, well done
8:18 Mullen Overkill 9000
So Epic
I’m a new skater and recently learned the Ollie and I got to say muscle memory really does work once I landed it once it was easier for me
I love to see you do these types of tricks keep it up
Your videos are soo fun and Mullen is my favourite skateboarder. That's awesome!
Good one! I always admired that board slide
The dedication to perfection is incredible!
This trick never fails to astound me! :) Also - an amazing idea for a new series and truly awesome video quality! :)

Looking forward to learning more about this Rodney Moolin guy
Just recently started back skating again and these videos are very inspiring. I want to learn darkslides now :) great vidoes man.
Rodney and Mark have to be 2 of the nicest dudes in skateboarding.
haha I like how the present Jonny totally ignores the trick tips from Jonny from the past.
Was good to watch but more fun to close my eyes and imagine the greatest supervillan Gru learning the darkslide.
Dude, beyond your skate skills, your editing is really funny! Love these videos!
