Some Rodney flat ground magic plus hitting the ramps as part of the A-Team demo.
I tried to keep the editing minimal on this to show how consistently he had these.

I love the fact Mullen could do a freestyle run from 1984 and blow kids' minds in 1998.

@@kyleheaser1089 True, true. I don't think a lot of those kids in 1998 even realized he was doing that all that stuff in 1984, though. His freestyle seemed to get a lot more exposure around 2002. Kids today look at things a little differently, appreciate more styles of skating in general. Things used to be a lot more regimented in terms of what was considered cool.

Mullin is legend, but come 89, 91...raw street skating was emerging, h street, blind, launch ramps....and so on boring cites then turned into sk8 places, by waxing curbs and wall riding and such, mullen..early freestyle days twas almost like watching s corny karate tournament. All the other freestyle sk8ers...had nothing compared to Rodney,....the streets were the real open mics...back then ...

@MagikFingers420 2 жыл бұрын

He created a style of street dancing on a board(when vert was becoming god) and no one could do it for about a decade, now street skating is the most popular form. Its safe to say Mullen was ahead of his time. Its funny to see the evolution of sk8n - 1st - a silly joke toy 2nd - downhill and pre '79 trix like handstands. 3rd - counter culture and street sk8 tricks evolved bc of urethane wheels, punks mainly - (example)Zephyr team 4th - vert emerges and Mullens board dancing 5th - Bones Brigade formed and created first successful superteam and changes from counter culture to main stream 6th - Vert dominates for a decade 7th - new street sk8rs take it to Mullens lvl and make their own style 8th - commercialized and extremely profitable mainsteam sport Yes im sure ive missed a few trends but this is a run down of how we got to today.

When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️

PlayStation skatepark. I got to skate that place in the summer of 1997. I was a teen and on a family vacation. It was a cool park, under an expressway or something like that. Chicago has a skatepark under an expressway too. The PlayStation park was set up really cool. They had a lot of open space. A lot of what I’m seeing in this video wasn’t there when I skated it.
