i know i saw this not long after it happened, but i didn't notice until now how he was synching his moves with the music at the beginning, that's pretty cool

It's a rarity you see someone clearly decades ahead of their time with talent, mind and everything. Rodney was that for skateboarding, quite literally decades ahead of his time.

Not exactly, he's 57 and in 2003 after years of impacts due to staeboarding, his hip became fused with his femur making it nearly impossible for him to walk let alone skate.

I was 14 here and the weird thing is Rodney didn't get no where the respect he does today because everyone hated freestyle and you would get made fun off doing freestyle tricks plus nobody knew he invented almost every trick we were doing street skateboarding, everyone knew he was the one and only king of freestyle but most street skaters didn't even try most of his tricks until Rodney switched to street skating.

Yup. So true. Freestyle wasn't even on tv most of the time. I mainly saw it on videos and was always amazed by Rodney and Per, but I was way more into ramps and street skating. I remember in the 90s finding out Rodney Mullen was still around and basically blown the roof off street skating. I missed it because I could never ride the new popsicle boards. I wasn't surprised at all to find out that he was the key to it all.

Sadly as street skaters in the 80's we had no real concept of where half our tricks came from and used to laugh freetstyle skating, skip their vid parts etc. but damn we weren't busting out ollie impossibles like that until years later.

Today you see guys on youtube trying a couple of the tricks rodney pulled of for like a 100 times, until they nail it a single time for video. But rodney did all this in sequence with just on or two blunders... Has there every anyone become that good? I don't mean able to do all those tricks, but do them all in sequence with such security?
