We call him rondey jesus mullen. Even the modern shape of the skateboard we ride qas invented by his imagination. Rare for a sport such as street skateboarding to still have its founder alive.
There are some of his biggest tricks he had ever done he doesn't do big often its all about innovation and creativity with Rodney it's a treat to see him do big
An awesome song [Dream on][by Aerosmith] and An Amazing skate vid part done by the great Rodney Mullen. This was the 2nd video I saw in 1994 & immediately bought a skateboard [right] afterwards. A mix of flatground 'freestyle' skating & street skating. Enjoy.
_And John Rodney Mullen cast himself from the suburbs of Gainsville, Florida. After ten years of kickflips, ten years of endless championships, freestyle would finally come to an end, street skating, would be his escape from freestyle's decline. But it had not always been this way, Mullen had once been a champion of the Skate Gods._
I think the most amazing thing is how he was the best in the world at freestyle, then transitioned into arguably the greatest street/tech skater of this period. You can see here he looks all sketchy as is still adapting. Pure talent!
OK GUYS! I need to know what shoes these are, been scouring on the internets without finding anything. Anyone nostalgic enough to remember these shoes? The White ones!
the few of us on this earth who can realize the sheer innovation of this man will be forever engrained as a golden gem during the most trying times in humanity.
Never seen a skateboarder with more soul than this man. Legend.
First time I saw this I cried, it’s so beautiful.
Still gets me all these years later too.
What a legend.
Same bro. ..I couldnt believe what i saw. .. would watch this everytime i went skating with the song in the back of my head.

Remember when you landed a hard flip and thought you were getting good, then this came out and you sucked again... Lol classic
@L G yes sir!
@L G of course i do, man... miss you bro... how are you? You were always a great dude
Exactly ha
Was an amazing time to be a skater.
Me and the team used to watch this section til the VHS got fuzzy. All time greatness.
I remember this was in black and white right?

3:36 so freakign sick!
This is what got me to pick up a board all those years ago.
I miss the late 90s/early 2000s so much i hate the modern world it's absolute shit and not worth living in

HIS TRICKS ARE NEVER. FINISHED.
Most creative/ innovative skater ever. Give a frrruck who you are!! You’re not topping two years let alone his career!!
Come at me!!!!!
I had this tape as a kid. Brings back so many memories. IIRC, Jeremy Wray had a sick part in the video as well.
"Iiiiin tttthe white room *huge front side flip over Carlsbad gap* with black curtains..."
I find it interesting how he progressed. In the early 90s he pushed mongo switch but the late 90s to early 2000s he pushes normal switch.
I'm 42, people wanna come at me sideways....then i show em what i can do, i hack their phone and tell them to leave me alone.
best Mullen part. a lot of these tricks would be worth while in a part today
How is Rodney Mullen still getting better? He said that he didn't want to fade in public but he's much better now than he ever has been.
ooooh really?!!? can you suggest some vids to check the contemporary growth?

Долой Штолле!
Get m rod
Board control and balance second to none! First time I have seen all of those Casper Slide variations. Are you kidding me????
Wow..i think i've never seen this video before. And i thought i would know all stuff about Rodney
Oh, the Casper slides!!!!!
Oh boy. I watched this in 0.5 times speed and I got really excited of the foot position switch in that casper spin thingy. That's nasty!
Also, the ender i watched at full speed. I got so much from this thank you.
It must be the shoes.
He is a legend.
What is it about him? There's plenty of guys doing all kinds of tricks. For some reason, the guy is just mesmerizing above all others.
Because he was the first. He invented soo many tricks. No one skated like this in the 90s and early 2000’s.
The prolific magician!
Imagine being that good legend
God
Redondo beach
THIS GUY!!!
Love Mullen

I'm pretty sure they're the original Etnies Sal 23s (before they were rereleased as the és launch model).

this is a classic

Inspiring pairing of a song to a video.
