I hope Rodney never gets forgotten

Achieving the Rodney Mullen unlocks in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater were some of the greatest video gaming moments I had. I could watch him skate for hours, his style is so unique and it all looks so effortless.

I love that your channel pays so much respect to Rodney Mullen. I’m thankful that I was able to skate with him once about 15yrs ago here in LA ❤

As Rodney tells the story, he first came up with the idea for the magic flip while he was practicing ollies. He bailed on one, and when he did the board flipped, landed on all four wheels and rolled away. He says it felt like the board was mocking him. A few hours later he'd figured out how to do it on purpose and roll away. Thus the magic flip was born.

Jonny & Rodney need to skate together. It's so great that you are taking the time to educate the younger audience of this wonderful history.

Rodney is a true innovator, his influence on skateboarding cannot be overstated.

This video gave me new appreciation for the skill and dedication it took to come up with these tricks and being able to land them consistently

I could watch Rodney Mullen for hours. I can't skate but I totally get what a genius this guy is. Not to forget... your videos are very enjoyable, great work 👍🏻

in the late 90s he was so under rated in the youth. he was over shadowed by like muska, kambell, koston, and the like, But was always my all time favorite. Glad someone like you put the record straight. Mullen, the God of skateboarding!!!!!

Its insane to think how fluid he makes all of these tricks look. Such an influential person and the GOAT!

Greetings from midwest Brazil, South America. I consider him, if I'm not wrong about it, "the Pelé from skateboarding". So talented, I'm a fan of Rodney Mullen. He inspires me.

I was lucky enough to grow up learning to Skate at the same time as Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk etc were in their prime, recently started back up again and love it. Managed to land 360 flips again at 45, really happy

Both of you get hero status in my world, thanks Johnny!

Being a skater starting in the late 80s and having my prime in beginning of the 90's it was such a big inspiration to see RM on video. Impossible and late-shove-it, then late-flips. Not only before but during anyone else, we were just trying to catch up.

The more I see of Rodney Mullen, the more I get the feeling he was actually born on a skateboard. I find a lot of enjoyment seeing how much HE enjoys skateboarding.

I love the skateboard history lesson! 100% would love to see more content like this, chronicling the roots of modern skating.

The absolute GOAT. Nothing but love for Rodney.

When Rodney inventing the ollie, everyone elso was looking at skating in 2D, he showed us that you can do it in 3D! And I think that truly underlines the impact Mullen had.

Also insane that he was the reason boards changed from 80’s fish shape to the more “freestyle” like shape that we have today. The most important skater ever.

Mad props for introducing a new generation of skaters to Rodney's legacy and historic contributions to modern street skateboarding, especially because the dude's so famously humble and modest that he never talks up or promotes his own iconic achievements

Love the thought process in this. I would love a 30 min interview with you and Rodney. What would you ask him that hasn't been asked a lot of him?

This should be shown in all schools as education. So well done and interesting. Thanks Jonny!

When I started skateboarding back in 1998 I was just your casual riding type boarder. A year later I saw my first video of Tony Hawks, then later on saw his 900 spin I was inspired to do better. In 2001 I met a guy in a local area who was also a skater and he was looking at me and said “pretty good” and then he showed me some of his tricks. He then asked me who I idol and obviously I said Tony and then he said Rodney was his idol. I was 9 years old had no idea who he was and he told me he invented the tricks I learned. I honestly thought Tony invented everything. He invited to this skate shop and I met some pretty cool people and then they showed me VHS tapes of Rodney. I was mind blown that this was the creator of most of the tricks we see today and I’m blessed to have learned when I was younger some of his tricks. He was obviously a true inspiration and gifted man to learn all this and showcase it too the world to learn and see.

Rodney is my favorite skater for a reason. Still manages to make my head explode.

I’ll never forget the 411 issue 23 that had the Rodney Mullen Profile. I still have the vhs and I cherish it. I fell in love with the GOAT 30 years ago and still thank him for everything he’s continuing to contribute!

I started skateboarding in 2002 and ended up in 2004 coz my family won't let me and Rodney Mullen is my inspiration after I play Tony Hawks Pro Skater in PS1 and buy some magazines and read it with my friends, watching skate videos like Flip really sorry Etc. I miss the old days no social media now I am 32 years old still my favorite and his skate videos is like a fine wine. Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭 keep it up. 🤜

It is inevitable that one day in the near future that Jonny and Rodney will do a video together and it will be epic, i have no doubt that Rodney is aware of Jonny, it is just a matter of time for them to collab

Really loved this! Thank you Jonny. Really appreciate your time.

Love all your videos!! Thanks for pumping them out when you can

Awesome, loving your work Jonny.

The volume of tricks that Rodney has brought to the table of skating is plentiful to say the least. I really appreciate the way you hold such profound respect for him. Great video, Jonny! Thanks for doing what you do, bud!

I'm a huge fan and am glad he's still being talked about!

I didn't realize Rodney invented all of these tricks. I loved skating as a kid and Rodney was my favorite by far. I eventually quit skating and picked up guitar, which I don't regret, but I still love watching Rodney skate.

You know Rodney is a legend when you see him doing those tricks and he makes them look so easy to do.

Love your videos, love your efforts. The fact that you show us the fail fail fail fail fail before success really reinforces how important PRACTICE is. Thank you for being so honest in your videos.

Killer vid. Love Rodney. The amount of sacrifice and patience it takes to skate like the both of you is commendible.

This was sweet, jonny! I haven’t seen you do this sorta edited analysis-style video before (I’ll bet you have, I just missed it), but it’s a great mix up of your normal content!

This is a great video. Old school Rodney Mullens videos with Giger doing and learning the tricks. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

thx for this video jonny ! i doesnt skate so much now but everytime i want to restart when i watch ur content take care mate

I am old enough to say that I used to watch new Mullen movies coming out with Powell Peralta. It was mind boggling. And now I see you do the same amazing tricks that Rodney did. Be proud of your achievements! I broke more board and rolled many an ankle attempting these....lol

Jonny, I just wanted to say that I can watch you skate for hours (and I have) even though I’ve never even owned a skateboard. I love your dedication to mastery. Mit der wunderschönen Kulisse eine unschlagbare Kombination 🏔️ Danke :)

Great video. Glad I came across your channel. I skated for some years back when I was younger. Mullen was my idol back then. I have to say, you’re pretty awesome as well.

Thank you for showing love to the man! Legend.

Wonderful video! THANK YOU!

You really inspired me to push hard the Casper slide for a full year and see if I can get it, i hope to be able to post it to you before 18 Dec of 2023 🤘 I will try my best 🙏🙏 big respect to you men and all skaters out there 🤘🤘 sending

Thank you for making this. Subscribed immediately!

The video “The best of Rodney Mullen” is one of the most legendary ever

I really enjoyed watching your video! Use to skate when I was a kid almost 30 yrs ago never any good at it but I loved trying.

great video, great little trip down memory lane. also, your such an amazing skater. truly inspiring.

Bro, great video! I love all the info I had no idea about some of those tricks!

A great homage to a legend. I don't think there is anyone out there with as much respect and technical skill as you to Rodney.

Rodney Mullen led me to skating. Jonny Giger keeps me on my board. Thanks for another great video.

Dude I've been watching you for years now awesome footage and super entertaining thanks for the content

Thanks you sir, great edit!!

Always amazes me how humble Rodney is when people talk about his innovation. It's unreal what he's done for modern skateboarding. P.S. This style of video is really dope Jonny, your narration and editing are great!

Really enjoyed this video - very well put together. I've been following Rodney for years and years (and you on Braille!). Excellent, professional level editing here ! Cheers !

Love your channel! Awesome video!

Love the crisp sound in your slowmos!

Much respect from London England Jonny your a legend bro..

Nice Job Jonny! perfect video

Thank you for the Lesson Master Jonny Giger 💎🌍🌀What a creative fresh idea 💡 for a video 💐

I really like these types of videos, Jonny. Keep it up! 😎

Great vid. Mullen was one of my favorite skaters back in the day and this video shows everyone why.

Great video jonny!

Rodney is the most influential skater to me. Such a beauty to see his way of moving with the board ! I just can only admire and be inspired by him.

He is the man!!

You are Goooood bro! And a super smart and awesome researcher and creator too man. Respect. I think skating videos are some of the best films ever made by human beings. Especially the ones that are coupled with good music and photography, I just think a lot of them should get Oscars for how beautiful they are to watch 🎉

My favorite skater of all time . Mullens clips on the tony hawks games blew my mind away . HIs manuals are incredible

the vid is amazing Giger, great awesome job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

nice video jonny, love it!

great video a must watch for any past or present skater

Can't skateboard and don't plan on trying to, but I enjoy watching and learning about it and of course played Tony Hawk Pro Skater growing up. I really appreciate your videos. The Giger Flip is awesome too :) I look forward to seeing where you end up in the future. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Concise and educational tribute vid to the GOAT! Great work!🫡

Cool channel man I love it ! , Especially the Rodney Mullen Stuff it really takes me back to when I was a kid Skating! Well Done!

Beautiful Ollies in that section, Johnny. Perfection 👌🏻

To see a Rodney Mullen part in the 90's was absolutely mind -blowing astounding - For people that never skated , I wish there was a way to explain the difference with watching his video parts compared to a "normal" pro-street skater :)

Excellent video, mate!

Beautiful video!

This was cool you did this, you should do a video on the evolution of street skating from the late 80’s to the early 90’s

LEGEND.....I used to watch any dodgy Cassette tape I could get my hands on of him skating in the early 90's all the way here in South Africa...I went on to get sponsored and never placed worse than 3rd ever in competition. Sadly my love of motorbikes put me in Intensive care and I have a dodgy Right leg with multiple steel pins for the last 26 years. I sit on the sidelines ....always a fan....and will always be thankful that he helped pave the way....There will never be another innovator like Mullen.

Your channel is amazing bro !

Great video, Man. Keep. Up the good work.

Love your videos giger 📹 from buffalo ny .. woke up at 3 a.m can't sk8 cause of the snow but I can sit here smoke and watch these ...satisfied 🤟🤙

I remember being a kid in the late 80s and the neighborhood kids passing around a grainey vhs tape of Rodney doing these tricks. Spent hours watching this with my friends. Good times.

Deine Videos über Rodney sind einfach immer allererste Sahne!

I remember that super smal weels time. Still have a set somewhere. Big thanks.

well done brutha, love your content, legend

Just bought a board again today. Been watching your channel for a few weeks and I can’t help but get back on the board. I shattered my sliding/flicking ankle years ago so I’ll probably have to learn most things again switch. I’m up for it 🤟 Thank you for reminding me the joy of skating!

been my favorite skater since the late nineties. great vid

I'm getting back on my deck and I always watch you before I head out 😅

Guter Stoff. Danke dafür, Jonny!

I love how you show footage of you landing 95% of the tricks. Great work

Огромное спасибо за этот ролик, когда мне было 16-18 лет я просто фанател по Родни! Шикарно, спасибо ещё раз!

Never skated even once. Fantastic video! Fantstic story Rodney has :)

Very nice Jonny! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 so many people can doing freestyle skate, but so rare talking about Rodney Mullen, even didn't knowing about him. Im so glad to see you learning Mullen trick with some history video. Rspect Jonny 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you

i just have to say, thanks for this video Jonny

You have the best videos about Rodney Mullen.

Yes, Mullen was a legend. When I watched his videos as a kid I was astonished. He did tricks that looked impossible lol. Show us a a compilation of your Rodney Mullen trick videos!

Awesome video! Rodney has been such an incredible skater

Beautiful video of an absolute GOAT!!
