1 dislike? Must be Rodney himself thinking he could do it even better...

I swear there's never been a more consistent and creative skateboarder in history. Nobody can land as many unique tricks as cleanly and as frequently as Rodney.

30 years later and those tricks are still amazing to watch. Rodney was ahead of his time.

So this is the man responsible for 99% of the moves in tony hawk games

Rodney was so amazing that even after 30 years no one has yet been able to skate like him. Tech master, innovator and Godfather of skateboarding. A true legend.

I wonder if the guys understand that they are encountering alien species for the first time on earth....

Every skater aspires to reach such a level that when you skate everyone at the skatepark just stops and watches you absolutely kill it.

In 1 video for the early 80s, Rodney invented almost every street trick of modern skating and even more no one can do to this day

He can't be from this planet. 30 years ago he was doing things most skaters struggle to do today

What the hell!? I can’t even fathom half of what I just watched and it’s 2024! These poor kids brain must just be goo from being melted, they seen into the future and some things that will also never be done again.

His board has literally no nose or tail and looks flat af and he still pops the sh*t outta it 🔥🔥🔥

Him and Daewon are my favorite skaters ever.

That handstand pivot is pure sorcery.

This is a gem, I've seen many videos of rodney but this one is a great compilation of what he can do, thanks to him I decided to buy a skateboard at 22 years old, now I'm 30 and happy to have found that guy

The man No myth……..just pure legend. The guy that pretty much invented every modern baseline street skating move there is. Even with what street skating is nowadays, what it came from wouldn’t be what it even currently is without what he came up with. I’m currently 41, but I got into skateboarding after meeting my friend Josh who I’ve known for at least 21 or 22 years at least by now, and that was between the ages of 18 and 20 and somehow through trying to learn to skateboard I met him, and skateboarding is what we got into together together, so we were skateboarding even before the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games came out, and I won’t deny that in the beginning, my favorite skater, for if I remember correctly, at least a short period of time was Andrew Reynolds, But somehow, at some point in time I came across seeing what tricks this guy did, and had a pension for wanting to do the kind of skating he did, and I never became pro by any means, I haven’t been on a skateboard in years, but I’ve been thinking about getting back on the skateboard I still have that’s the last one I used and seeing how I would fare at a skate park nowadays 😂, but I learned about who this guy was, I got fascinated with the tricks that he can pull off and out of most of the friends, and even strangers skateboarding that I met at different skate parks and a different points in time, it seem like I was the only one that actually pulled off tricks that he did, and in games of skate I didn’t win every game but at least half the time I got most of the people I played skate against with the first three letters because nobody else did the technical and freestyle tricks that he did add whenever I got to skate park with Josh at least back in those years and even later on in the middle of my 10 years skateboarding, I still used to love doing finger, flaps, heel flaps, casper stalls and even simply enough, I was one of my few friends that could do heel flips, and I had no problem doing them and I liked doing them, and he actually likes doing them on occasion as well. Over the last year or two I’ve come across videos around this time when he was around this age of different contests and recorded showings off and it’s always cool to see him perform stuff so technical and thorough but consistently as if there’s almost no possibility he’ll screw up. If not, the most technical skateboarder I’ve ever known to see in videos and been into, the only other skater being equal to him with the types of tricks, he does would be, of course Daewon Song.

Hidden gem

This man is a different breed yo...

Non skaters will never know how advanced he has always been. Round 3 was an absolute masterclass. Not that his other parts arent, but, that one is a big WOAH!

I grew up trying these tricks. Mullen was far ahead of his time. So consistent. I don't know anyone who has those quick feet in the progression of street skating today.

Rodney Mullen invented skateboarding. Tony Hawk told the world about it.

when you spin like that the world starts to spin with you

He deserves more credit, people know him yes. But even non skaters know Tony Hawk when this guy has done so much for street skating.

So crazy watching one of The Godfather’s of skateboarding create tricks 30 years ago that are still above pros standards today. THE GOAT.

The blueprint for the future of skateboarding

I can't find it, but there's this other heartfelt video, with with Rodney Mullen skating to his heartfelt country song, talking about there's a million ways to go. I literally cried for 10 minutes, and thanked God for creating something so awesome.... And I don't even skate

The tech is this freestyle is unreal, dude is something else.

The King 🤴of street! I remember watching Rodney in 87/88. Dude can still do 90% of these in 2021!

Año 1990 , yo aún no nacía y el ya hacía todo esto , increíble , mis respetos para mullen, uno de mis inspiradores en el mundo del skate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The Archwizard of Skateboarding. Always in our hearts.

These guys like Mullen and Hawk are so truly special. Amazing stories. Somewhere along the line they got a skateboard and it was fate. They became successful in a place very few do but they also started the whole thing in many respects. Now they are still skating like kids but disguised as successful adults. They not only are living their dream its more than that....

Wow, I feel honored and very grateful to have been able to do some of these tricks and all thanks to Rodney Mullen. Ollie impossible, heel flip, double kick flip, shove its, nose ollies, manuals. And those are maybe 1% of his Arsenal. It really puts it into perspective.

This has to be the most impressive thing I’ve ever scene, crazier than anything I see today

Com a técnica e facilidade ainda não vi alguém igual a ele.

I swear I have only ever heard rodney Mullen through my left airpod

i can wath it all day

the fact is rodney created every trick you love and did it on flatground which is much harder than down a set of stairs. he did it, your mom loved it. and you were created becuz of him.

As a kid this was my idol the dude is just amazing on the board

I don’t get how free style died this is amazing.

This makes me happy

Wow. Just wow

What a special person.

The mutt never disappoints youll always be a huge inspiration to me mullen

The legend of skateboard

Best street skater ever, end of the story

Respect

Legend!

Respect to Rodney Mullen, you got the tricks! Jah bless!

So inspiring!

LEGEND

Living Legend

Havent seen many documented clips of him doing a carousel. This is probably the only one

every time i watch rodney I always think, "i have never seen him fall" lol

absolute genius

Rodney mullen makes flatland free style of skateboarding is very interesting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

He had the best balance out of anyone even today

Rodney is just a god of skateboarding.

He's so dorky and innovative. Always seemed like a genuinely good decent guy

That's the greatest

Legend

El verdadero prodigio del skate sin dudas , por lo menos el mejor de la historia andando en el piso. En rampa probablemente sea tonyhawk

its not normal to be this consistent... what the heck man

He's a concrete ballerina. Love watching everything he does.

Unreal

Why does everything in the 90s seem so much better?

Marvelous. At the top of this game here. I love how all these years later I continue stumbling upon Mullen footage I've yet to see. Thanks for uploading!

King 👑

The BEST street/freestyle skater of all time!!

This takes so much creativity to do compared to the skating that’s done nowadays

I love Rodney like Rodney loves his board

Just Amazing!

Thank you for uploading this

So Rad !!

Immortal

Sick!!!!

fucking awesome

What an absolute legend

Nice Job

RIP freestyle long live freestyle. the man invented and retired it singlehandedly.

Zerava tony hawks pro skater com ele só pra abrir os videos dele. Cara era bom demais tá é loko.

Родни легенда

The way he plants all of the tricks too. Like an olympic gymnast nailing a landing.

Rodney doesn’t mess up, the board messes up

GOAT

My left ear loves this

Hes literally inventing flat ground skateboarding at this time.. and all he needs is 20 or 25 feet of flat ground.. GOAT

This dude is a robot from the future.

Good

This must be like right before he changed his style. Crazy to think 90-91 was still high tops, wind breakers and fluffy hair...then 92 was like baggies, flannel and goatees.

It was it he pro it up🔥

I love his truck stands

before putting a dislike I cut my hand

Родни лучше всех!!🔥

He skates with as much care as he speaks.

Greatest of all time

1:04 - Me watching the good kids skate when i was a teenager

pure magic.

There's something about Andy Anderson that reminds me a lot of Rodney. They're both creative geniuses on a skateboard who can do tricks that no one else can. They're also a little shy and quiet. Great video by the way!!!

At first I thought the title was one of his tricks

that nosedive manual fuckin sick

next level pioneer
