True. The bit about staying grounded also. The guy pretty much invented street skating, give it to the world for free, and barely admits it. The man's a legend.

It almost solidifies the importance in finding out who you are. I find courage in his courage to express himself. I wish I could speak to someone who wants to hear. Instead, I find hobbies. "Who cares." Nobody cares until you're something. He speaks in metaphors, LOUDLY. we need to love each other.... Ask someone how they're doing today.. you may save a life. I know how hard it is to appreciate yourself, from experience. We define ourselves.. but who are we?

He's the man! I skated with him at Cheap Skates over 20yrs years ago. He was such a nice guy. I couldn't get in to skate and was with a group of people. So while they skated I was also skating, just outside. He came out and gave me a deck, wanted my Chuck Taylors, and skated with me. All cause he saw that I got screwed on a skate trip with my boys and saw how bad it sucked.

I love this dude. I probably got my first board around this time, like at age 8. This guy would be so cool to hang out with. I like how he totally dug how he'd love watching all the vert guys and just be mystified by it. Not even aware that people felt the same about his freestyling. That's not even being humble, that's just being incapable of being arrogant.

The lady interviewing him is SO rude. I do not like the way she’s talking to him at all. Belittling him and saying “..and if you do would you like to say it into the camera”. Like?? He has social anxiety and is visibly a little uncomfortable and would rather show them the tricks and she’s being very unprofessional by saying snide remarks.

Skating wouldn't be anywhere close to advanced as it is without Rodney Mullen. His trick inventions, he could have patented, just like some martial arts are. He chose to give them away to better skating, from freestyle, to vert and ramps, then ultimately now with street. He invented the Ollie even.
