He needs to do this

There is a "The Nine Club" episode with Rodney Mullen. Very interesting

It'd be cool if Rodney chose one of his tricks for Jonny to do.

​@@cr4cker394No there isn't. He's never been on the Nine Club. In recent years he's only done one podcast and that's Tony Hawk's, Hawk Vs Wolf.

That's never going to happen. Unfortunately

Ты в точности высказал и мою ситуацию 👍🏻 один в один 🤭

Hit the skate shop and get back out there! We don’t quit, we take long breaks. 🤣

His vids actually made me pick my board up again after almost 20 years and I'm glad! Thanks you Johnny!!

Literally same for me ahaha been so close to start skating again

Do you remember 720? That was the ONE!

yeah this and Daewon's team video (think it was called DECA: Second To None) were absolutely mind blowing to us back then and SO FAR ahead of their time

Hell yeah I was just about to mention having this on VHS also. One of the best vids of the era easily. That and the zero film with the leap of faith in it and stuff. I wish I could remember which one had jamie thomas doing that HUGE 50-50 down a ledge but he wipes out when the front wheels go over and it kicks out from under him. Absolutely legendary stuff.

@@Corpsecrank Those huge 50s are probably either in Dying to Live or Welcome to Hell - not sure which ones has wipeouts though, ( I think one was 20+ stair? crazy stuff ) been a while since I've watched those , I gotta check those out again :)

Found it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLh-hd2Ita-wiJ8.htmlsi=2jC8CKwVBnvU0JFA&t=1123 Starts right at the clip. Misled Youth was one of my favs for sure.

May be….. you are not a regular human being…………. Happy New year!!!!!!

hades is such a fun game! can‘t wait for hades 2 🔥🙏🏼

I was thinking the same, but I'm not sure.

yeah it looks like Rodney does a bit of an underflip with the back foot, and a kind of pulling motion with the front foot too. Jonny's was clean af tho, not critiquing him

1-10 attempts probably lol.

The most I've heard was 200.

Exactly giger did wrong trick

@@thejxkid2 I think so. Idk which is better/harder though. Maybe Gigers version since it would be hard to get the full pressure to flip out of the grind without slipping out. Where the underflip would mean you wouldn't need as much pressure on the grind to flip the board

Yeah, in them vids they used to skate really hard objects as it was sort of a battle between them, so anything that made the trick even more difficult was probably intentionally done the majority of the time. They both played off their strengths and Rodney's balence from years of just being on a board doing spins and such was a huge strength of his, meaning he could do stuff like that and make it look easy on super technical obstacles.

Yo Rodney Mullen is not only a great skater, but he is L Also super intelligent. So I'm sure he definitely

Does Rodney still skate ?

pretty sure, maybe he helps out the rotation a little bit but to get a proper underflip he would have to set it up like on a nerd flip. I Can‘t tell 100% though. if we take the trick no 180 out from almost round three you can tell it‘s very unlikely that there‘s an underflip in there. I think having his foot setup in this position is more like his preference for fs crooked grinds in general. so i‘d say i‘m very confident there‘s no underflip in there but i can not tell 100% if his bf is helping the board to rotate.

@@JonnyGiger Thanks, Jonny. You're the best!

Well he doesnt have a "real" pro sponsor and he known for skating mostly flatground stuff rather then handrails.

yeah back in the day i had no idea he was pressure flipping out of crooks and whatnot. crazy

Yeah, seems like Rodney has had this problem since waaaaaay back, where he's so good, people don't even realise JUST HOW GOOD bc they don't understand wtf he's doing. They think he's insanely good, but he's actually super-insanely good We're definitely not getting another Rodney on this planet for at least 200 years

the nicest thing anyone ever told me about my shoulders 🥹🙏🏼😂 thanks

Yes Rodney does underflip it I guess Giger didn't see that... Giger did a different trick (pressure version) which is actually harder.

It's the tension from the pinch and a slight pop out. Once you have the pinch, you just have to get out of its way at the end.

It’s a pressure hardflip. Pressure tricks don’t require anything from the front foot, minus getting out of the way. Everything is done by the pressure exerted by your back foot on the tail of the board as you “pop”. If I’m understanding the trick correctly, between the pressure pop out and the edge of the ledge you’re grinding, that’s what initiates the hardflip out.

@@AnUprightAnimal by front foot I mean the popping foot. I see how you could argue that the popping foot is always the back but I am talking about actual orientation.

@@Dee-nonamnamrson8718 that’s it? No scoop or anything like that?

@@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural yeah orientation isn’t the way I look at it, so I could see the confusion. Unless it’s a nollie trick, your popping foot is always the back foot, regardless of orientation. That’s the easiest way for me to differentiate fakie, switch, etc. but yeah, it doesn’t look like there’s a scoop or anything else involved. It honestly just looks like timing the pop on the edge of the ledge as you’re dismounting the grind, mixed with the already partial angle the board is at that initiates the flip out. At that point, it’s more about getting the air to get the full rotation, staying out of the boards way until it finishes the hardflip, and throwing your shoulders to get the bs 180, and aiming for the board on landing. I know, much easier sounding than it is lol.

Jonny, bring back the failed attempts counter!
