Incredible interviews with some of the most knowledgable and inspirational people. Hope you enjoy.
@Grayson King I saw a similar post like yours, but it recommended a different InstaApp. Back when I was a kid that was usually the extent of this sort of thing, but I'm glad to see using multiple accounts has caught on. With that said, I used InStapORtAL too and I hacked myself or something. Check it out today!
Why add loud ass music to a beautiful speech? Does your team practice zero quality control after editing? Absolutely ridiculous.
I have a new hero as Jesus 2.0…
Jesus doesn’t only reference hell, he describes it in great detail. He says it is a place of eternal torment (Luke 16:23), of unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43), where the worm does not die (Mark 9:48), where people will gnash their teeth in anguish and regret (Matt. 13:42), and from which there is no return, even to warn loved ones (Luke 16:19-31). He calls hell a place of “outer darkness” (Matt. 25:30),
@@hintoflimetostitochip79782 years later I'm thinking the same thing. Is there a version of this without music? I just feel it takes away from what Rodney is saying.
Rodney Mullen is such a beautiful person. There's few people in this world like him.
There are more people like him than you know, but they are all usually isolated always bettering their craft and not seeking fame or attention for the sake of freedom, progress, and love for their craft.
@@woiowoiow190 No... You're wrong.
@@flatlineoptimism2600 no, he is right
@@armyowens990 nope.
@@armyowens990 wrong, real wrong. He is true less than 1%er
He is the only person I have ever seen that actually made his passion his life. Most people including me, just move on to the next hobby. Or they abandon their passion after a while. I’ve never seen his level of passion anywhere. I think he won at life honestly.
But if you look at someone like gsp he doesn’t fight anymore but he still trains and stuff just for fun. There are others out there, look at slash, he never stopped playing guitar, neither did Keith Richard’s, why would they stop? But I hear ya, I used to love skateboarding, I was good, wish I kept going but other stuff got in the way. Probably for the best, I did a lot more dangerous kind of stuff than Rodney did (there’s different kinds of styles In skateboarding, some more risky than others, Rodney doesn’t hit huge handrails or anything. He’s still amazing though, there’s different styles just like everyone has their own signature.) but the way I skated definitely had a limited window. At least I thought it did, nyjah has been hitting huge handrails for decades so I dunno maybe he’s paving the way for what seemed impossible too. Sorry for the rant! The video got me going lol
"You shape it, it shapes you."
Wow...
THPS2 first time I discovered Rod. Watched his reels over and over. Not surprised a poetic skater is a poetic man and based man.
I love you Rodney Mullen thank you for staying up the Sk8 board for all us❤ we love you.
My life started out horrible, raised in a broken drug filled home. I remember i wanted to be a professional street dancer, then one Christmas my older brother bought me a Ryan sheckler plan b board. The moment I stepped foot onto that board it completely changed my life forever. It rescued me from a bad place, gave me hope, taught me commitment, how to fall, how to get up, how to never allow anything or anyone keep me from what I know I can accomplish. I've back slide, I'll return one day
Dope person who dislike video just mad cuz he has not found his gift yet
Late response but I can't see anyone who can dislike this truly inspirational interview. It's powerful and deep and I think it's UA-cam bots. No way you can see this video and say it sucks.
Thank you Rodney you are my VIP in our skate community . , sk8 or die . , SK8 4 life .
Absolute Florida legend. Great dude and a former Gator. Tony Hawks favorite says a lot. Dude is prolific!
The man is a transcendent intellect. He would have been an innovator and icon in any field that allowed him to express his love and creativity.
Amazing
If only skateboarding was modeled after this personality vs fucking Bam or drugs , ot the the counter culture that eventually killed it. He is a genious and a poet. And they are the ones who are always overlooked.
Rodneys the best ever
He threw or gave away all of his trophies. He was fighting with demons very young with his dad and then having to protect his status as a champion.
“If there is anything, just find joy in what you do for the sake of it, and then recognize how you are being shaped through in the process. Hopefully you can become a better man through it.”- Rodney Mullen
It's a really great quote. It's the kind of thing you can intellectually grasp but you don't fully understand until you have the perspective of age.
Spoken like a true artist, a true master of his profession
Wow it was in the clip and yet you wanted likes and comments for what people already watched lol
@@nznative8825 lmao why you so salty
@@blueseaturtle6031 lmao why you so salty
This guy's a true artist. I clicked on this because it had so little views. I feel kind of bad for people that miss this video they do themselves a disservice. Legend.
Even though he inventened almost every single street trick out there, and is the GOAT, he's the most humble person around. We need more Rodney's in this world!
"When I see people who had success, I see boredom for the most part in them, then I see a tombstone."
That was some heavy shit, DAMN..
Rodney is a Savant' You can hear his passion when he speaks, this is why he cries by the end of most conversations, He also forms pictures with his hands and mind when he speaks, so when he sk8's he truly is creating the art in his mind first, then bringing it to life through his body. This is the definition of a true artist and his canvas is the world, and his brush is the skateboard, there will most likely not be another Rodney Mullen of our time.
Dude, I’ve said the same thing. There’s really no better way to explain it. He truly is an artist.
Very insightful take
Yes, he is phenomenal in more ways than average. Mostly, he's real.
He’s part scientist as well. The way he describes each tiny part of nailing a trick, he stacks tiny parts together until he knows all he has to do is make sure his eyes are on the right spot and his back shoulder is at the proper angle…and the rest does itself.
I agree. If any it might be Andy Anderson. He reminds me a lot about Rodney by the way he thinks about his board and his tricks. Another scientist on the streets.
It's not about the goal it's about the journey
I would say it is more about the process actually. A journey usually ends a process can go on and on and on and it can adapt to changes around just like Mr Godfather Rodney Mullen:)
To say that he is the Bob Ross of skateboarding is kinda underwhelming if you ask me, i mean Bob Ross was never really the best at painting. Maybe the Da Vinci of skateboarding is more fair.
Its insane that one person invented so many tricks that never existed. Rodney is pure creativity and an inspiring spokesperson for pursuing authentic passion in life
This, and i also think he was in the very first few to come up with the baggy street skater's cloth style, often associate with 90's rap music wich had a huge influence on street skateboarding... even his globe shoes models were pretty stylish. I remember buying his Rms3 model for 130$, wich was very expensive in 1998, the shoes i landed 10 staired 360 flip 😎
I can barely olly today
@@peterluck3154 hard to pinpoint one pro responsible for that I feel like it was just everywhere in 90s culture
@@morpheuslaughing Chad Muska and Kareem Campbell.
When he was invited at Tom Bilyeu, at a certain moment Rodney became immensely emotional. In that moment I felt like I have to stop the clip and think about my life for a few minutes. I was thinking what in my life would make me as emotional as he was about the story of his life. Such a brilliant soul!
Outsmart & Outwork I agree with your opinion on his outspoken conviction, .... aside from being at the top of the mountain so to speak; unless your trying to climb it ,...consider yourself lucky. I crave less craziness and normalcy like a vampire craves blood, so unless your chasing something big, consider yourself very lucky.
so what was ur answer
Well thank you. I don't have tp reply to the video because you said it best!
This interview broke down more walls than my parents, loved ones and people I looked up to have ever had. I don’t know Why I feel so broken in tears right now. Just thinking why I let people defer me for doing was drives me, what I love to do and care nothing about the fam and success it gives me. Why I pushed away the thing that speaks to me and defines me. I hope one day I get to meet him someday. Love you Rodney.
Darkcloud1983 This is good! This is true for so many probably most of us. Look for this yearning. As Mullen says: cultivate it. You probably have to work hard to give it space and priority since your brain is not at all used to it. What it’s all about: it’s intangible.
May you (re)find your piano or harpsichord! And be grateful.
Agree with both of you.
He touches on this issue a bit, society will "tell you" to play it safe. Just keep status quo. Just keep your crown. That's when the fire goes out.
Find that thing that makes you emotional and cultivate it. Appreciate it. Enjoy whatever it is and that it inspires you to no end.
The fact that he skates alone at the morning without any inspiration makes him think outside of that box that everybody knows and everybody sees .Thats soo interesting bcs he got the full potential of his creativity when he was alone with his passion his skateboard.Its like a baby that no one show him how to talk he just do it like he think it should be .Soooo cool huge respect from that person :)
@Uncle Adolf people is jellous
I grew up following this guy.... Always a legend and pioneer in our hearts...
Shit yeah I'd rarely go out for the day with the skater before watching some of his parts (mullen vs song 1 and 2 back in the day for me), got me psyched and set a positive and fun tone for the day.
I’m autistic and looking for inspiration on skateboarding and you just motivate me more and more
Autistic here also. Hone in on it. Chase it. Don't let anybody tell you you are too obsessed. Too focussed.
Don't let others define your path.
Take it from me.
Do that and that fire in you will never go out.
The struggle is the process.
Keep on grinding. Never stop.
I am SOBBING! Watching him explain his process! This man has truly lived.
I'm a freesolo climber and at 37... I did so many amazing climbs... the eiffel tower... the pyramid of kheops... oratoire st-joseph... the old champlain bridge before it gets destroyed... la tour totale..
It goes on and on and on..
When he said "when you land a trick... everything lights up... its crazy.. but its hollow.. it cant drive you"
So many people I love think I am crazy and suicidal or I just want to flex with these amazing pictured we do.... thats not what I want...
They ignore the lifestyle.. the training... countless hours at the gym.. the travels and people you meet along the journey.. the planning behind not being caught or making it as safe.as.possible
Thats exactly what drives me.
Bro I just experienced the same. I almost lost my leg 17 years ago in a motorcycle accident, today i am 34 and came back to skate. I have cried every time I land a trick. This is insane❤❤❤
I’m not crying, you’re crying.😭. For real though. To understand this man’s heart. He doesn’t claim to be the inventor of skateboarding. He talks about passion. Those endless nights with friends, trying to hit those tricks. This great man invited all the tricks.
Great guy trapped under the weight of his own genius - Thank God he was able to express his genius in the physical form - Thank God for Rodney Mullen !
The way he speaks is inspirational, let alone what he has Done. A true legend.
This words brought tears to my eyes
Watching him is at times like watching ballet, such precision and control and listening to him is resonates emotionally to the core. Amazing video :)
If Rodney Mullen speaks you sit TF down and listen.
Come 0:50 I was already tearing up, utterly moved by his words. This man, Rodney Mullen, is one of the two or three human beings I've come across that I could listen to and hear until the End of Time.
Yep. Got me teared up.
His energy. His vulnerability. His wisdom.
Very humbling. Listening to this guy.
That's not even watching him skate.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Copernican Revolution 2.0 I love listening to Rodney speak. I feel I learn more from him speaking, than just watching him skate. He opens my mind; loosens my mind. I’m less tense because of his words. It’s okay to be vulnerable and different.
@@takashirose5668 Absolutely!
And thanks for the reminder: vulnerability *is* our power.
It's just that we tend to forget about that..
Copernican Revolution 2.0 the power of vulnerability is the way it brings us together, we get to share that weight with people carrying that same weight, making it lighter.
Rodney is such a gem. A truly beautiful mind and an incredible inspirational person, who brought skateboarding to another level. I could easily listen to him for hours. He's so humble and peaceful and lighten up something inside each of us. That mentor and friend most people need in life.
This guy had a huge impact on me and my skateboarding when I was younger, no one will ever top what Rodney did for Skateboarding.
Very well & nicely said 👍🏼
🛹🟰🔝‼️
I will forever be grateful that I lived at the same time as a man such as this.
I absolutely idolized Rodney as a kid. My friends and I studied his tricks like calculous. But I had no idea what he was like as a person. I see now that his deepness and intellect runs parallel. This is amazing.
He reinvented skating and stepped down to give it to everybody... there was a word to describe a person like that, what was it? A prodigy?
Ubermensch
This guy is like Jesus, Helen Keller, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates all rolled into one mind.
Rodney Mullen is the best street skater of all time. There's something special about him. When Plan B Questionable came out it blew my mind. I wish I could get another copy of it! It's cool to hear from him what he thinks of his career. So humble, but passionate.
That Plan B trilogi was the shit. 2nd hand smoke
@@mhl4886And Virtual Reality!
This guy talk like Bruce Lee, philosophize the shit out of the stuffs he's good at.
lol great comparison
Always think of him as a genius like a crazy genius, and he seems like hes so emotional that hes on the brink of crying. A deep dude but bat shit crazy genius. Ill bet if you spilled box of wood matches in front of him in one glance hed tell you exact number lol he is THAT kind of crazy genius.
I love this talk I don't skate anymore but I play music I've reached a high level on guitar many years ago from sweep picking to alternate classical guitar to doing yngvia malstien just to prove i could anyway i chased the dream for years in my youth but I had a kid and I had to choose to keep chasing it and drag my kid through hell and hardships of that life are be a good dad I decided on a good dad anyway my point is I still play and write music and songs but I'm not doing to make it anymore I play and write mostly because it's who I am so many times I'll be writing a song are playing the piano are whatever and I think why am I doing this what's the point of these songs why did I learn the piano it's all pointless I watched Rodney talking and he says often doing something for the sake if doing it is beautiful and he skates not for fame and fortune it's just who he is I thought and thought about that and it completely applies to me and the music I'm still making the songs I'm still writing I do it because it's who I am it's what I do it makes me yes it makes me lol me
I skated from age 11-19, Rodney was always my favorite. I’m 31 now, haven’t touched a board in over a decade but I still watch his videos, he will always be the GOAT
SO what Rodney's really saying is... "For the greater Good, for what it does for me. It's not the fame or glory, or the temporary highs vs the lows. But to
"remind my self" That
"I Can".
"I am privileged that I started some tricks" No Rodney, you started all of them.
I can’t get over how utterly well Rodney Mullen looks. What a picture of pure contentment and vitality. His levels of intrinsic motivation are off the chart - THAT is what brings joy.
The Best Techical Skater In The World Rodney Mullen My Inspiration Me Running Skate In Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 1995 To 2008 💪🏽🔥🔥
The guy regarded as the greatest street skater in the world, who has the respect of all skateboarders worldwide, basically says that the admiration that came with his stature was exciting, but ultimately hollow and unfulfilling, and that the satisfaction of accomplishing what he set out to do, and loving every minute of it, even through the hard times, is what really fulfilled him and mattered the most.
Lots of lessons to be learned in that.
"It's not about winning... It's just what you do."
I love him
I'm the same age as Hawk, and I think Rodney is a couple years older, and what Rodney is saying is about remembering that you are doing something because you love it is so important. At 54 I believe that though you always want to be working on something and progressing, that you must also find ways to take life in and find enjoyment with everything you can along the way. In the past I'd bust my as&%, achieve, feel unfulfilled, then sabotage with drink, feel guilty, and start achieving again. Plan and work for tomorrow "while" enjoying today!
His wisdoms as deep as the ocean that no one cares to discover.
I can listen to Rodney talk for ever
Rodney Mullen is not only one of the GOATS of skating, but he's also quite intelligent, wise and insightful. What a badass.
He’s not one of the goats, he is the goat, I mean the dude invented the kickflip lol
@@slycarlo8747 dude invented the ollie on the flats - he quite literally invented modern street skating
thanks rodney for opening my eyes again, seriously
Imagine Johnny Depp playing Rodney in a mocumentary
Best comment et ! Kind of like his character as Ed Wood !
I met Rodney at an event after he gave a talk. He was once of the nicest, must genuine people I have ever met. I grew up with the Bones Brigade and talking to him about that influence he had on me as a skater back then and watching the Bones Brigade movies and then going out and trying to do those tricks, he was appreciative and honored. I felt like if given the chance he would have kept talking to me for hours. It was a wonderful experience and one I will never forget. I would love to sit down and talk to him again some day!
Needed to hear this one today!
It’s so crazy that he invented the thing that makes us all the same.. street skating
Find joy in whatever it is you are doing and it'll mould you into the best version of yourself!
imagine walking in to a skatepark anywhere in the world and seeing kids doing kickflips, olies, shove its, impossibles and thinking; "yes.... i created that". That must be one of the most incredible feelings ever...
I believe Rodney could have us travelling through space, at the speed of light on a skateboard
I once idolized this man. I had no idea he was so deep in thinking about the philosophy of life and so on. I'm actually glad I didn't find this until adulthood so I can really appreciate it. I never did meet my goals of the Casper to 360 flip but I did get pretty good for a while there.. Literally 20 years ago now but I still remember I always used an element centered Featherlite with tensor lows, red bones bearings and extra hard wheels. Those were the days
This man is a legend he is many things humble hardworking inspirational but most of all he's the fucking Godfather
"I see people who have had success, I see boredom for the most part in them, and then I see a tombstone."
The man understands being at the top, and articulates it well in his own way. I suspect he is well read.
Especially in an age where we are struggling more and more to articulate our thoughts, and we connect on the most basic of common grounds.
We have monalisa in our heads but only four colors in our mouths. We are missing colors when we speak and it's heartbreaking to watch each year.
Rodney Mullen is not just an amazing boarder, he is also an amazing mind. His thinking goes far.
Truly an absolute legend
rodney is so deep in a good way i wish he'd start writing books👨🎨💆🏾♂️🎍⛩🎨
the entire time i'm watching this i'm thinking "this dude is like the richard feynman of skateboarding"
10:26 blew my mind
Its almost as if he's interviewing himself
interviewer did a great job of stfu and staying out of the way
This video reminded of listening to Kurt kobain. He didn't need the popularity but fed off the thrill of a cheer. I think the difference is that Rodney Mullen had a more spirited mind. Kurt was (murdered) but he wasn't a happy spirited man. Rodney Mullen shows what a man with a dream can achieve!
I've watched this around 100 times over the last few years. Thank you for the awesome edit of this interview, your overlaying of music and clips truly make these speeches shine.
How the fuck do you dislike this
Rodney u are SO HUMBLE its serene!...(Yeshua) Jesus Christ is the key that unlocks the DOOR to SALVATION!!..Grab the door handle an open it & FIND the EVERLASTING FOUNTAIN OF LIFE !!!! Drink from it brother!! FOREVER SATISFYING FOREVER YOUNG!!! AMEN (let the legend carry on my friend i hope to play u a game of sk8 when there!) X-Michael...............John 3;16
I am glad you are better
The song btw is "You and Me" by Borrtex.
Thanks!
I didnt know that is was possible for Rodney Mullen not to stick a trick, absolutely incredible individual!
I had a promising trajectory with a skateboard career.... was flow for DC. Watching this makes me realize what drugs robbed me of... not the potential game or "success" .... It took something fun, Intuitive, something that made me who I am away from me..... It has robbed me of ten years of my life.. just pushed my fiance away with my addiction last year. Still recovering. Trying to move forward and heal . The drugs have changed my life. I live somewhere totally different, no social life. I make music and art but I think one of the biggest missing pieces is my board. It's such a spiritual journey to be a human let alone a skateboarder.
makes me tear up. skateboarding for ever. big up rodney!.
❤ I wouldn't have understood this when I was 18 as much as I do now at 21 and that's proof I've grown❤ Thankyou Rodney for everything including inspiring me to be more spiritual and faithful
At 60 years old I have been skateboarding almost 50 years that is probably the most touching insightful and inspiring interview I have ever seen in my whole life… Tears tears flow flow… Love you Rodney Mullen will never be able to give back to you what you have given to us in skateboarding God bless you and all that you do thank you for your kindness your compassion your mercy your intense humility strength endurance wisdom tenacity integrity and guidance... 🙏Namaste’ 🗽🇺🇸🦅
this guy could have been good at anything in the world.... god bless skateboarding. he could have also been good at nothing. true GOAT.
Rodney fucking mullen. The GODFATHER of skateboarding. PERIOD.
Beautiful words, beautiful soul and man
It's one the most important things in our personal journeys, not to get caught in what others think is prestigious and worthy of doing, but exactly what Rodney said, find something you want to do just for the sake of it, everything else is always gonna left you hollow.
When people discriminate you for what ever you do. Just remember you find joy peace and happiness doing it. Even if you not master it to perfection. Love what you're doing, that makes you happy. 😎 And peace out to all the artist. 🤟
My only hope is that Rodney understands what he has given to myself and other skateboarders like me.His gift to us was showing us through his brilliant innovative skateboarding the things that are possible on a board and giving us the understanding that we can keep taking skateboarding to new levels as individuals so that this great sport continues to progress and stay fresh!!!Thank you,Thank you, THANK YOU Mr.Rodney Mullen!!!!!
Oh and yeah. Skateboarding never was and never will be, a sport. It's ART.
I think n he took a little to much acid back in his day and now just has a very different way of seeing and explaining things. He really is like a mystical genius.
He is such a beautiful soul
I could listen to him talk for hours
So inspirational :) God bless him
We are and as we let be instruments of the divine. Be played. Be had in the hands of destiny. It will be in your taste. Not to worry. Say yes.
The God of Skateboarding, Rodney Fucking Mullen! #IAMGenX
Love Rodney and skatebording but this overdramatic talk and talking up skating so much makes me cringe
I taught Rodney many of the tricks he knows. So glad for his success!!
And, one day God decided to imbue the Divine spirit, humility, and creative genius into one human.
Truly magical... fukn inspirational
One of the most influential people in my life,not just my sk8ing but they way I try live my life as well
