Bro he didn’t even mess up that line one time. Insane.
Rad.
If you get a chance watch his Ted talk
Easily the best skateboarder to watch. The Godfather
Me getting a x25 multiplier in Tony Hawk after time runs out
The Godfather. He spent hours a day practicing in a small garage as a kid to develop these moves. Mullen created most of the tricks out there and is an incredibly humble guy. And to think he almost became a dentist instead because his father wanted him to follow in his footsteps and didn’t think he could have a future in skateboarding.
In the documentary *bones brigade*, his story is the most fascinating.
There’s a really great documentary with Rodney, Tony and the whole crew. I think it’s called Bones Brigade.
If Rodney Mullen mall grabs, it’s okay to mall grab
Dudes a fuckin wizard.
WOO, YEAH!
When the floor is lava, but you just GOTTA DANCE!
I’ve always thought the games should have been called Rodney Mullens Pro Skater instead
A friend of mine that lived down the street had this on VHS. A few of us neighborhood kids would all sit around his tv and watch it over and over before going outside to practice on our boards. Life was so simple then.
Mullen > hawk
Those socks! It was all in the socks.
That’s so sick that he nailed all those tricks consecutively
The swag to do this in Jorts.
He will always be my favorite. I was the odd one out growing up because everyone chose Tony hawk.
The Shredfather. Dude was controlled chaos on a board. Didn’t start skating until 99 and a lot of my peers made fun of the old school in turn for big stair case grinds or slides (Looking at you Muska). While that was dope, shit was 2’secs but this dude straight would go one forever and blow minds in a 6 square foot area.
The inventor of my favorite trick “The Dark Slide”
Can’t fucking believe he was doing these tricks in the 80s amazing!!!!
That’s real good!!
That’s one big combo in Tony Hawk.
I look at Rodney the way other people view fine art. The guy’s an absolute legend, an innovator and a really cool guy. Whenever someone says ‘dude’ I think of him. He’s the dictionary definition.
The sound is so satisfying
I’m not sure if I’m impressed or pissed.
i wonder if it hurt when he kickflipped out of his mom.
What is the name of this type of skateboard?
I worked on a couple of the games and one day he came to the office and was doing his thing outside the parking area, a group had formed to watch him. I was crunching on my work so I just walked on by without realizing what I was missing, huge regret..
Bloody mesmerizing. Learned of this guy in the old school Tony Hawk pro skater games and omg are the tricks and sheer feats of balance and precision mind blowing
That’s actually Bill Gates before he left Atari to start Pay Pal
IMHO Rodney Mullen is the true goat….been a long time but from what I remember he did tons of shit that nobody else had done up until that point.
Rodney Mullen v Dewon Song is a great video
Ankles of steel
the wild thing is he just keeps g o i n g. it’s all different and he never fumbles. insane
GOAT
This is flawless as fuck. To think they were the most technical tricks at the time, and he’s just nailing everything one after another.
