This man inspired almost all skaters in their 30s today. Sitting in my room cutting out magazines to hang up on my wall. Absolute legend

“”I wish I could relate the intangibles to you..”” 👏🏽👏🏽💯💯

Rodney is his own league. I'd go on a limb and even argue that most of the people (me included) don't really comprehend the level he is (or was) at. What an absolute legend.

Just finished watching the documentary, it was really emotionnal. Also Rodney Mullen is so fucking wise man.

He's a real sage.

This legit made me tear up. Remembering what skating is to me. Rodney is a beautiful soul

Mullen is the 🐐. You have about a 98% chance that the skateboard trick you just learned, he thought it up first. If everyone had his compassion for life, the world would be a better place. If we had his work ethic and problem solving skills, we would be teleporting by now. He’s on another level only .00000000001% of humans can relate to. He is what you wish you could be.

Rodney Mullin inspires me like no other. The joy he feels is unmatched only by his talent, wisdom and humility. He is the Kid that Won't Grow Up. I don't see a lot of grown ups who smile the way he smiles. He is Untouchable.

This goes for everything in life not just skateboarding.

He is the embodiment of unbridled passion. Thank you Rodney

Rodney’s thought process on skating is unlike anything I’ve seen from anyone else before. A true legend, and my favorite clip from the doc.

Until the wheels fall off my man. Rodney Mullen is a legend!

I watch this everyday as motivation thank you Rodney you’re a legend

You could push Rodney out in a wheelchair at 85 and I would still be in line to hear him speak. He built things in skating we all owe an incredible unpayable debt of gratitude. Thank you Rodney. We, as your community, thank you.

He amazed me in the 90s and he still amazes me now. Im autistic and I find Rodney speaks more sense than most.

The truest words ever spoken. Had me all emotional. Those that know, know.

Rodney is such a wholesome guy. He seems like a guy that would be the greatest friend

Even at 42yrs old after multiple injuries I literally can't stop skateboarding. It's engrained in my being, to lose skating is losing myself and I'm not willing or ready to do that.

I can totally relate 100% I’m a retired professional Motocross/Supercross racer…I’ve broken my neck twice, sustained countless concussions, been knocked unconscious multiple times a month _(some months),_ but the second I was healed from injuries, I didn’t want to be right back out there, *I HAD TO BE* there wasn’t any alternative… now I’m almost 40 years-old & that’s a sport where guys I looked up to growing up who hung in there past age 30 David Bailey - Wheelchair, Doug Henry - Wheelchair, Ernesto Fonseca - Wheelchair, Brandon Layton (whom I raced Loretta Lynn’s & Ponca City with/against) - DEAD

They say Bruce lee was a martial arts genius and he captivated people when he spoke this guy reminds me of this kind of genius.

This was my favorite scene from that entire documentary, with when Duane Peters speaks regarding the death of Tony Hawk's dad being a close second. Thanks for posting this.

I recently watched this doc, and Rodney's clips are epic! Such a profound thinker/speaker! Rodney was really a philospher disguised as a skateboarder! The part that got me was, where he starts, "My guess is that we're all built the same..." all the way to the end.

It feels humbling, and like an honor and privilege to be walking the Earth at the same time as Rodney is skating it. He's the Tesla of skateboarding, and his kind and quirky nature makes him even more likeable. Much love to the king.

Man, there's something about Rodney when he talks about life and motivation that strikes the deepest notes within. He's a guy who is substantially influential. He knows he's boss AF and yet remains modest and sincere and that is something which we need in the world.

The brother can make me cry just listening to him in an interview… such focused dedication , intelligent, emotionally driven… I’d kill to have a fifth of his skateboarding skills and vocabulary.

rodney mullen made me cry and sob like no else in this movie. his voice, his mindset, his energy, just everything about him. amazing. peaceful. so deep.

I'm glad to be here at 60k views, because I know one day this clip will get the attention it deserves, Rodney is Gandfalf, he is the wizard, he created the spells you cast today. And down the road, when our heroes die, Rodney will live on through the intangibles and I'm grateful for being alive when he was because I got to say I saw Michael Angelo paint.

This man speaks directly to my soul.

Love how rodney speaks. So eloquent and thoughtful. The whole doc was great, and this bit tied it together beautifully.

I love you Rodney Mullen! So proud of all your accomplishments as a complete stranger, you're my hero, my skateboard inspiration. I always seem to prefer what you were doing the most :D

the most phenomenal skater of all time. An artist.

Rodney gets more poetic and enlightened as time moves forward. He really knows the human condition. He's been there.

Man I love this guy, he can make me cry instantly with how genuine he is. What an inspirational figure to grow up with. Thank you so much Rodney for your careful, thoughtful words. You inspire a lot of goodness.

The highlight and the perfect ending to this documentary. Beautiful and human. Thank you Rodney for sharing this with people around the world.

This particular quote helped me out a lot. Thanks to Rodney for putting thoughts and words into things I could not. I went out and digested every interview I could after seeing this movie. Thanks for sharing this edit, saving it for when I need to see it again.

Sifu Rodney... 1 of many reasons I started skateboarding in the late 80's, and still to this day! Mahalo for posting this 🙌🏼🙏🏼

Mans a legend! Thanks for everything you've contributed to skateboarding. I hope you have many more years on the skateboard yet my friend 🙏 those wheels aint ready to fall off yet

Rodney just captivates and inspires people in so many ways, not just skateboarding but to learn to live your life to the fullest. Truly a living Legend

It's so amazing to see a man talk with passion about what he found out it's his favorite thing in life. I can related with how I love cycling since the first time my father taught me to ride. Awesome video

Glad someone posted this clip. Such a powerful and intellectual perspective on a confusing topic to outsiders. I've been skating since I was 4 years old and 17 years later my love for skateboarding is strong. My mother never understood why I kept doing it even after 2 shoulder surgeries and countless other injuries. I watched this movie with her and when she listened to this part it completely made her understand. Rodney has such an amazing view on everything and his skateboarding reflects that big time. He's one of a kind for sure.

It's like more poignant of a speech than i can remember seeing scripted in a movie or in a novel. Almost makes me shed a tear because of how emotive and passionate he is when he speaks about his life. Rodney is a special human being and one of my heroes, what his dedication and skills gave to us all is almost unmatched by anyone else in my generation. Of course i mean that on a personal level because i'm a skater and in the darkest times recently, skating gives me a few hours where i literally forget all my troubles and afterwards i just feel so good that i pushed myself to skate. Even though i'm worn out from work and being older now at 40. I won't ever stop skating. 'Until the wheels fall off', amen to that !

Rodney might be the most articulate, eloquent speaker I've heard. The things he says just resonate. Thank you for uploading.

Unreal dude right there. So genuine and selfless.. A true inspiration on how people should be and live

I'll always remember watching his part in the globe video over and over again. Being so inspired then going out and just feeling great about skateboarding and I would skate better than I ever had before after watching him because I was just so inspired and pumped up.

The greatest skateboarder of all time.

Rodney is one of my biggest inspirations. Not just in skateboarding, but in life. Could listen to him talk for hours.

Ultimate Legend ❤️🐐

Homie almost had me in tears. What a legend. Legit legend

"To lay down in the sense of it..." I've never heard anyone ever just explain LIFE, in general, in a better way. 💯😔

Honestly this man is an inspiration even if you’re not looking at it as a skater.

Mr. Mullen, you are a treasure. Thank you.

Rodney Mullen is the John Frusciante of skateboarding. A sensitive genius. They have so much in common but their characters are just so alike...

About 6 years ago I started working nights and I slowly stopped skateboarding I would usually work,eat and sleep and repeat the years have passed me by sadly I forgot about skateboarding I would see the new younger generation skate my local park I will get in a sad mood knowing that all this time I forgot about the only thing I loved since I was 7 years old I still remember that first day I picked up a skateboard the joy that it brought me a piece of wood with wheels brought happiness to me. I grew up very poor my father would drink and beat the shit outta me and my siblings the streets were up to no good full of crime and drugs gangs running the blocks their was absolutely no future for me and the other kids around the neighborhood so skateboarding really kept me busy and out of gangs I'm already 30 years old and since the pandemic started I came across the nine club podcast and I remembered why I felt in love with skateboarding so I bought a fresh new complete setup spitfire wheels, indy trucks and a creature graphic board im back on the streets skateboarding once again and I just realized that this is who I am this is what we do and who I will always will be I will keep on pushing until I can't no longer walk or exist in this planet. I would like to thank all these legends and pioneers that created skateboarding something so small really change people's lives I was just this small kid in East LA with no future because Gang and drugs were the only thing the community knew about until me and my brother and few other kids changed and broke that cycle.

Rodney is a man full of LOVE

This is utterly beautiful. I didn’t know anything about him really but checked out the doc on HBO one night because I had heard Tony talking about it on a few podcasts-I’ve since tracked down about every interview i can find with Rodney. I listen to this all the time when I’m working out. One of the best quotes I’ve ever fucking heard. Long live Rodney.

Grew up skating and am unable to now because of a bad shoulder. Rodney made me want to skate. Then skateboarding taught me it didn’t matter how good or bad you are/were celebrate your accomplishments and don’t give up.

He came to my home town in the late 80’s to do a show - when he was doing mostly freestyle, I got to hang with him and he was skating street with a few of us . The guy was amazing and sooo kind hearted and encouraging.

Having people like Tony and Rodney, how are basically the best in their respective skate styles, be SUCH ambassadors for the sport is so nice to see. And not just be ambassadors but fucking LOVE it, down to their soul. The second Rodney appeared in the doc I was instantly giving my full attention. I could listen to him talk about skateboarding for days!

Damn. Didnt know this was gonna be so deep when I clicked on it. Good stuff. Thx

Bro....... The peacefulness of his voice and the power of his words is inspiring to me.

Dude Rodney is some kind of freaking Gandalf or somthing, dude is the most wise man ever

i love everythingg this man offers his passion for skateboarding is crazy , he literally is in a league of his own

love rodney so much growing up skating he was my idol and still is although am no longer fit enough to skate it kept me sane for many years and i will always have those happy memorys to keep me going

This man isn't just one of the best skaters to have lived, but this is right up there with all the philosophers. Legend.

His creativity is unmatched., Now day kids can just go to KZfaq and will get a bunch of videos of how to do a skateboard trick., This guys and a very few more created them out of nothing.... 70's and 80's the most creativity era for skateboarding....

I love Rodney Mullen so much and have loved that dude since my eyes first laid on his impossible tricks as a child. I couldn’t believe someone could have that much passion and control over that chaos.

People don't understand skateboarding taught a lot of us everything. My career in the military was helped out immensely by learning to skate because the military taught me the same way I taught myself repetition repetition repetition. Also to push through any pain that would stop me from achieving my goals. I was a weird kid too I had two heroes growing up Audie Murphy and Rodney Mullen, I'm usually the only guy in a cowboy hat that can tre flip. I've been through hell and I've had about 300+ stitches I have 4 metallic parts in my body including my jaw and I just had a portion of my disk removed but I still love to skate. Pain let's you know how alive you really are!

Never seen the documentary, definitely going to watch now. Also not a skater, but this was REALLY profound and beautifully said.

Just when I started to being so confused with life, Rodney's still here to remind me what I truly love :) May god bless your soul legend!

The star of the Tony Waek Doc. Rodney Mullen everybody.

Dude. I'm 51 years old, I still skate and I swear to God, I will, until the wheels fall off. God bless Rodney Mullen and the Bones Brigade. Thank you Skateboarding.

Best comment section ever; he is well deserving.

Man this is amazing 💪🏼

This beautiful man is a guru. A true inspiration with a strong since of self awareness

A legendary skater, but an even better mind. Rodney will always be an inspiration on or off of the board.

I love this human being, as a skateboarder and as a person he is simply beautiful ❤

This man is Mecca personified to the kids back in the 90s he was and still is the most influential skater in the history of earth and beyond that he is the most humble caring genuine man that has ever touched a deck ever and now it seems so ironic that his sponsored brand was enjoi because he enjoyed every minute he spent on his skateboard

I just love how wise this man can be... What a champ! Infinite respect.

I quit skating more than 30 years ago after my brand new board (the Double Vision deck) was stolen. I was 14, it was like my all world collapsed. But that guy, that legend, more than any other, makes me want to buy a new skate and ride again. And i think i wil. Bless you Rodney.

Please I hope they release the whole unedited interview with Mullen. This man is truly incredible. ❤❤❤

Rodney is in a league of his own. I’ve never seen another skater skate so flawlessly while performing mind boggling tricks, one after another. He as perfect a skater as I’ve ever seen.

This was almost like watching a speech in a film. But it was so real and raw. Beautiful.

A piece of wood with four wheels on it and this guy turns it into art, he is a true genius.

this man touches my heart

besides tony, rodney was my favorite in the games, loved watching his videos on the extras

The best part of the whole documentary. So true

I love his passion and dedication.

How beautiful this is

this guy is totally outside of classic world this guy is at one niveau superior

This documentary was simply beautiful

I feel like not only is he the greatest skateboarder ever but he will be known as a great advisor for people who want to follow skateboarding and relate that same passion he has for it

Skateboarding taught me perseverance, it made me who I am today, someone who never gives up and who is in search of creativity and freedom.

Thank you Rodney....so many people have gotten back on the board after thinking they didn't need it anymore.... skating takes some things from you broken collar bone, knee redone, both shoulders separated..... But we get back up....till the wheels come off.....✌️👍🤙

Seems like a really awesome guy. 😊 I remember seeing him skate on Tony Hawk games. From then on I was playing those games different, manuals and ground tricks in between everything. He’s a different guy, which is cool as can be. His skating reflects him as an individual finding his own way in the world. I’m so glad he found success.

Wow always been a soft spoken dude and you can tell he’s found the answer he was looking for and he’s a peace with it. Better to have lived your life for one day than not live at all and be old.

This documentary opened an incredible world to me, growing up in Eastern Europe we didn't get any skating culture at all and it sucks, because these kids who are now men are so amazing, Rodney really stood out.

Love listening to Rodney talk passionately about skateboarding....

I meet him a month ago in NYC. Such a great human. He took the time to talk and share with everybody at the event. I’m glad we have a legend like him in skateboarding. ❤ 🛹🛹

Dude, I want to see a Rodney Mullin documentary so fuckin badly. This mans philosophy is one in a million, on top of that he happens to be one of if not thee gnarliest skateboarder to ever ride a skateboard. Absolute legend.

I never skated but this man was my favorite. Total icon.
