there are good skaters, great skaters, legends and then there is rodney mullen. he is on another level.
and as good as he is, he is the most humble skater alive. I was watching one of his public speaking events and one of the first things he says is that he has been skating long enough to to say that there is no "best skater". Im not sure if he was just trying to be humble or if he honestly doesnt realize that he is the best skater ever
Perhaps another planet even
J B well said sir
But he will never be Tony Hawk though.
@@divinitygaming8673 very different worlds. And street skateboarding is quite a lot bigger now than vert. So influence wise Tony is not were near the same.
It's 2016 and Rodney F'n Mullen is trending on youtube! I guess there is still good in the world.
right lol
He is an inspiring human being and the creator of skateboarding as we know it today (street). There is no reason why he shouldnt be trending!
Not really, but nice to see a video for once, amongst thousands, that shows a talented person with shitty mass-porn editing.
everyone's playing Pokemon, blink 182 released a new song, Clinton running for president Tarzans in theatres... What year is it!
What's my age again? :P
Rodney doesn’t mess up a trick, the board does
But he doesn't get mad at it because he's the sweetest human being alive
😂yes. He's the chuck Norris of skating
He invented that board design though
Or the editing of the video ruins the entire thing....
Facts

Best Tony Hawk Pro Skater loading screen ever.
I wouldn't play the game if that was the case haha
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Rodney Mullen inspires me so much. Great video
I’m not even a skater, but watching Rodney brings tears of happiness and admiration to my eyes. It’s been said time and again, but his style and execution are just otherworldly. Truly an artist.
💯
Definitely
Tony Hawk brought me into skating, but Rodney Mullen made me love it!!
I don't skate and I think this man is an artist.
Accurate af
true!
Same here I learned all of his old school flat ground tricks
the fact that he can do a one arm handstand at 50 years old is amazing enough.
i wish i could hang out with rodney
Thing is, he’d be totally down. Dude is also legendary for being a total sweetheart who will chill with anyone. Facebook is littered with photos of him, chilling with fans all the time. To this day. It’s so cool.
THIS
MAN
IS
A
LEGEND.
Beelze Bub BOARD LORD
This man is a read more
He's like a martial artist in his prime
WRONG. He IS THE legend.
We are so lucky to be alive in this era.
There will never be another Rodney Mullen.
That’s an understatement
Still one of the greatest videos on TH-cam. It’s a shame it only has 2M views.
I'm really curious as to how his disapproving parents feel about the fact that he actually became a global legend.
Wow you're known for being the #1 skateboarder in the world but you no doctor
Oh well
@@adoboFosho doctor's are pretty horrible these days - opiod epidemic - mis diagonsis every day - Big Pharma drug peddlers is all it takes to be a "doctor."
@Aloysius
Last I heard, his dentist father’s opinion was, “you sell overpriced toothpicks to unsuspecting kids. “
His father is not s nice man.
@Uncle Adolf his parents never agreed with the router rodney took actually. they heavily disapproved
Love the tricks, wish I could see half of them.
I could understand it just fine.
I thought this was awesome. Saw the new tricks just fine, and a new beautiful perspective on others.
I mean it's a beautiful video on it's own, but I wish it were a simple part with some slow-mo here and there. I still appreciate it for what it is though.
Wow thats crazy!!
Get off ya game boi. N ya might b able even do some of em.😩
That guy's a living legend - not sure how often such a figure is recognized in other fields before they're gone, but it's true of Mullen for his sport. Great to have him still around, still influencing things.
This might be the coolest thing i've seen in years. 2020 here.
Guy is 50 friggin years old here and still super relevant in the skateboarding world.
2:39 I've already mastered this one
Want to make "Art" with Rodney Mullen? Simply point a camera at him and let him do the rest. Absolutely no editing required.
Agreed
agree
I’d be so honored to skate with him
exactly thought the same thing
You do realize that all of his parts in skate vids were highly edited.
This dude is literally a genius, I have so much appreciation for him as a person
This is 4 minutes of straight up CHILLS. Everyone alive today can literally say they’ve seen the greatest skateboarder in human history. This guy just nails the whole blend of imagination and reality. I’m in awe.
I realize there is a strong polarization of opinion about the editing in the video, but as someone who has seen Mullen live on more than one occasion since the early 80's, I think the video is beautiful... hear me out....
Back in the day skating was viewed as counter culture and counter productive... lots of people thought it was a waste of time and money, what we "slackers" did with our time.
This video shows a level of refined skill and beauty - his mastery of the craft - and it is very difficult for those who still see skating as a waste to deny the elegance. The editing helps it to be much more palatable for those who do not understand it. Understanding is the key to acceptance and positive regard.
Personally though, I thoroughly enjoy raw footage with all the blurry moments, edges, and wrinkles, too.
Peace.
I don't like the editing because I can't tell what the flip he's doing. I heard him say in an interview that he did a rail 360 shove it to rail in this video, but I can't even tell where it is in the video. I'd like to see it because I've never seen anyone do that before, but I can't because this video sucks.
Who cares if skating was considered counter culture or not? The editing in this video is terrible. The best part about Mullen's tricks are his actual tricks, not some kind of slow-motion blur obscuring everything that actually happens. Heck, the entire video would have been much much better had every trick slowed down to slow motion showing the trick in detail versus whatever crap this video was.
Lauren Rodriguez perfectly stated
Lauren Rodriguez beautifully put, sister.
The effects are obstructing his talent and is a disgrace to his fans. Simply put. The ones who have edited and layed effects upon the footage are probably not skaters. You can tell.
A true testament to the human spirit Rodney. I am now 44 yrs old and I picked out a Veriflex "California" from a military exchange post in Germany as a kid in 1979. My body now reminds me of the goals I set and the perception I quested with many boards including your "Checkers and Skull" freestyle board in 89'. That daily pain also reminds of the freedom those boards and that ambition rewarded me with: a sense of accomplishment, the understanding of the commitment it would have to take to be "Great". Thank you Rodney, from my spirit to yours, you are that living testimonial. Beautiful and well done.
You know he is great when tony hawk says he is the greatest skater of all time
where does he say that? not that I don't believe you-- would just like to see it
@@pricesmith8450 u can actually search it up there should be a video on TH-cam
Price Smith He says it to him at the end here th-cam.com/video/Dqd41eYOneo/w-d-xo.html
But here is part one of the video th-cam.com/video/v2xWBlfr1h0/w-d-xo.html
I can’t remember too well, but I know he marvels at Rodney’s skating in this video th-cam.com/video/16g227KwNDM/w-d-xo.html
I’m pretty sure I saw others too : )
he is a fucking legend
If Rodney doesn't inspire you to dig deep and discover your own greatness then I don't know what will.
Rodeney is the epitome of commitment and perseverance.
He is Art is Motion.
Well for people who are passionate artists weather it skateboarding painting or other that’s their life. We all Just live every day one at a time
yooo i have watched your videos
The man who invented the kickflip. LIVE FOREVER RODNEY!
He invented far more than that...The flat ground Ollie for one, but hundreds of other tricks and combos.
The flat ground Ollie? No sir, Alan Gefland holds that honor.
Gefland invented the ollie on vert. Rodney took it to the flatground. Gonz gave it style.
+Clint Murphy Rodney saw very skaters ollieing off the quarter pipes and took it to flat. If you watch his interviews, he talks about it several times.
Yeah, I looked it up and saw you were right. I never knew that. Also found an article saying Gefland learned it from someone else!
If ever there was a better example the phrase: "Poetry in Motion" I haven't seen it.
1:08 so amazing i almost cried
That was great, but you know what would be greater? Being able to actually see the tricks without all this camera effect bullshit.
the sense of vertigo the video gives the viewer is the closest we'll get to feeling what Rodney does. he's had his share of amazing skate clips that show his skill but this something different. you feel his struggle, his doubt, his age... more importantly his burning desire... he's got nothing to prove nor has he ever cared bout that... love for the art. creating. skateboarding.
You must be pretty drunk or need glasses I guess.
i feel like the only reason for your comment was for likes because it holds SOME truth. but mabee you should be content with something that has no affect on your fucking life.
There are thousands of hours of Mullen, your comment is just meant to be dickish, and that's bullshit on something like this. No matter what it is, some dipshit will complain, holy shit.
+Adam Whitney no fuck this editing , i could barely tell the difference between a 360 and 180, like i came for rodney, not editing skills, which sucked ass
The thing about Rodney is not only is he an incredible skater, he's an incredible human being. In 1984, my dad asked Rodney if he could teach me how to skate. My father was a history teacher at PK. Yonge and Rodney was in his history class. He was a senior at that the time and I was in 8th grade. For the next six months after school near the cafeteria and at a place called Sensation Basin, Rodney and I spent hours together skating and doing free style tricks. (I wasn't very good but he was very patient and understanding.) Rodney would practice a lot of these moves for hours at a time. I didn't know at that the time what an incredible opportunity I had. Rodney was in his own world when he would skate, not a lot of talking just laughing and smiling. It's great to see him living out his dreams and what a positive impact he's having in his journey. One of the all time great human beings of our generation.
Amazing story ❤️
Whoever tried Recording Mullen with 360 cameras almost broke through the matrix there.
Rodney Mullen at 50 years old still doing tricks even way better than when he was 16 years old. And he’s still inventing new tricks! True legend!
Somebody should film him with a high speed camera then do ultra nice slowmo shots with some nice music!
HDTanel SloMoGuys
There's a very recent video with him and PhysicsGirl; great slow motion shots and talking about skating physics.
The Physics Girl video: th-cam.com/video/yFRPhi0jhGc/w-d-xo.html
Guy is 50 years old and still does this. Unbelievable! This is pure art.
I am 46 and seeing this inspired me to get back on my board again. I am using google voice to text right now to type this because both of my arms are broken.😞
Goosebumps!
My hat's off for video crew as well. They created one of the most epic skateboarding videos of all time.
wow, no words can describe how amazing this is...
00:17 that escalated quickly...
A true legend. Him and Tony Hawk are the reasons why most people started to skate in the first place. Brings a tear to my eye. Glad to have you back Rodney.
One handed hand stand.. finger flip out?? He just showed him self up.. at 50.. jeesus christ this is amazing haha
Thanks for all Rodney Mullen, are 20 years who follow you and admire you for your unique talent and genius.
this is not skating anymore. This is love in it's purest form.
Word!
S2
You clearly never had sex
The182joe, I agree. This is pure love, dedication, commitment. The rewards are incalculable. Following your passion and bliss will never disappoint you.
I'm surprised there's so "many" who dislike the effects. Personally I think it enhances the whole experience rather than watching just another skate video you've already seen 1000 times. I think I've seen most of these tricks by him already so seeing them again but with these effects and the area he's in just makes it so much better!
Most also don't know that Rodney used to practice his entire run blindfolded. Rodney is one of the best skaters to ever live, period! :-) Almost every trick you see being done today, Rodney was doing it 20 plus years ago and so many making TH-cam channels trying to learn how and to attempt to do the tricks he did, Great inspiration for sure!
This editing took so much away from what Mullen does.
Agreed. Just let me watch what he's put hundreds of hours into without all the effects.
*thousands
more like hundreds of days he used to practice more than 5 hours (people sometimes said he practiced 8 hours a day) and he's been skating since the late 70s
Bullshit, the editing is ace.
+Blitzpunk That's your opinion. Mine is that it's distracting and not necessary. I've been freestyle skateboarding for 8 years now and i like to see Mullen's tricks plain.
Absolute legend. He's still got it.
No one can surpass this legend, he will truly be carved in history of skating
I think people dont realize, that Rodney has become skating, not a skateboarder - but one with skating itself, like MJ in basketball or Luciano Pavarotti in opera. Pure art.
This is mind blowing af, but I'm even more mind blown by the fact that even rodney dropped a new video part before pj lol
lol true
Rodney could do all these tricks in like 10 minutes
Rodney is a god of skateboarders. Who is Pj?
+Kaos PJ Ladd you should watch Pj Ladd's wonderful horrible life
been my favorite skater ever since i saw him on tony hawks secret skatepark tour. transformed skateboarding in the humblest way.
i saw him give an interview one time where he talked about some disorder of the muscles and joints (i think that's what it was) that makes him have to do like two hours of incredibly painful stretching before he can skate. he's a hero not only for his artistry and influence, but also for the sheer love he's got for doing it. the dude's just amazing, a true inspiration.
it was a hip injury where it essentially developed a massive calcium lump. something like that.
This has to be one of the coolest videos I've ever seen... PERIOD!
This is the best skateboarding video ever made.. Period
Respect for this prodigy
this editing is totally not necessary
it's an art jackass
Totally ruins the skating
Well I would love to see some raw footage. But I think the editing is pretty sweet.
+Brads4e even without the editing the board is disappearing at the bottom of the frame sometimes... he's going out of the light into dark on like half the tricks. The person who shot this is clueless.
This video's only concept is trying to use Rodney Mullen's talent to prop up this pretentious Steve Sebring douchebag. So, if he's supposedly one of the best photographers in the world why does this video look like shit and how did these people do this same thing over two years ago and do a far superior job at it ?> vimeo.com/122756899
This is why Rodney Mullen is my favorite skater to play as in THPS
THE DUDE IS 50
yeah he's just about 50 and he's doing one handed handstand flips
yeah last week I did 1 hand stand on floor and get my back hurt =P and im only 27
A true legend and in my eyes one of the greatest inventors of all times. GENIUS!!!
2:45 blown away
Id never paint over that floor. That fingerprint left by Mullen is one of a kind!
800,000 views? I'm sorry I have been an advid skater for a long time. Been a Tony Hawk and Mullen fan for even longer. Played all the video games you can count on one hand. This man right here is Legend with a capital "L" You have invented the tricks that the modern skate boarder to this day uses to better themselves. If it wasn't for you Rodney setting the foundation for us all we wouldn't have the amazing mansion of skateboarding we're sitting on now. I give you all the props in the world my man. 49 years of age and going strong. I love you.
Did you see where he was talking about having to relearn everything because his hip was giving him problems and how he skates switch to what he did before.
@@almostkinda that's insane, I never would have guessed looking at him. He looks like he would still sweep any contest
@@fademusic1980 @almostkinda He skates "stanceless" now; you can see him talk about this in some of his TEDx presentations. There's no more regular/switch or forwards/backwards for him. Everything is the same in both directions.
Shaman of the board.
Love that man so much.
Filming is charming too.
Thanks to all who was involved in this project.
This is just the most wonderfully put together skate vid ever made.
I met Rodney Mullen in Texas back in the 80’s the fact that he can still skate at the age of 46-47 when they made this Video for VOGUE. They never show it in its entirety, simply for commercial bits only. Mullen is inspiring person a great speaker when zoned in. He express Skateboarding like NO ONE else! Please capture TED Talks and listen to this intelligent artist. Mullen is highly intelligent individual, his awkwardness personality can be read differently. I’m 54 yrs old and I still skate some but he has inspired me to do more not to be held back but to live my craft which is in developing small real estate projects. Love you man 🌅🏁
I want the raw footage. Not this stupid light show. Music is great and the tricks are great though.
I would love to hear the skateboard too.
if you want raw footage what any.other.video on youtube. The whole point of this is to be shot in 360 degrees and to be interactive - go to the website and have a look and read Rodney's insights on the tricks and the project as a whole. This wasn't necessarily about creating a skate video, it's more than that.
I like the 360 footage. I just want to hear the board. They could've edited the raw sound to blend with the music. I think that would've been really cool. Add some reverb and what not.
I couldn't, it was un-enjoyable for me. Felt like it could induce epilepsy
Tom Middlebrook lol and im epieptic :O
Love the video. Love the editing. Love the tricks. Love the music. Long live Rodney! -A happy-go-lucky dude who inspirational to us all!
There’s always that one person who is on another level and is the absolute best
Rodney, the sublime genius. MASTER - LEGEND!!! Thanks for this Vogue!
the only man that can release a video part only doing flat ground and be amazing. doing it
Upon the discovery of a youth serum/everlasting life, scientists first priority is to immediately administer it to Rodney Mullen so that he can innovate and progress skating once again to the next level.
It's beautiful, how fluid he is with his board.
Rodney Mullen was a socially awkward kid who grew into a man that changed the world with his views on not just skating but life in general. Rodney Mullen may be the goat of street skating but few realize the impact he's had on the world outside skating. 10/10 human being
Rodney is a king! But this video made me feel sick like I just got off of Gravitron.
Rodney is king and I saw someone get thrown up on in the graviton XD
Lmao...
I have to agree, while the actual tricks looked dope as fuck in that 360 shot, I'd like to see them with a static camera. It was cool, but sickening to experience.
If I have learned one thing from reading the comments from skateboarding fans is that they only have appreciation for the art of skateboarding and no other arts.
Rodney's style will forever be timeless, he's the greatest skater on earth as long as he is living.
Way after he is dead, too: there are no skaters even close to his level. Maybe in another 50 years. Who knows.
Wow, Rodney has never ceased to amaze me. I used to skate hard core, I still pick a board from a kid every once in a while and roll around. I love things that spin which is one of the reasons I love building my pulse motors, sometimes using skate wheels as rotors. ⚡️😊
Published 2016? Oh my god!
This is by far thee coolest RM video I’ve seen in decades! Thank you
He changed the way people do skateboarding he literally invented the street, thats why he always gonna be the #1.
Way to soil greatness and human achievement with lackluster editing/lighting. Sorry Vogue, but you missed the point completely...
One might think your knowledge of Vogue is lacking, and you missed the point completely, todd0000420
eh i doubt it
I couldn't agree more! It feels like the videographers are a little more invested in themselves than celebrating who Rodney Mullen is and what he can do.
It's an art piece meant to go hand in hand with Rodney's own art. Seems like you missed the point completely.
It doesnt go hand in hand, fool. Rodney is to be held in the highest regard. A true innovator and master of his craft. The title of innovator doesnt even scratch the surface of what he did for skateboarding. There are few men on the planet like Rodney and ill be goddamned if he needed some fucking jerkoff with a camera, employed by a shit magazine to throw their little spin on things like they were ever relevant artistically.
Legend. Beautifully done, thank you.
I know some folks don't like the lighting etc but we can find a million videos of Rodney's genius expressed in only the tricks (which are obviously mind-blowing): I loved that the video expressed his artistry above all. If you want to see functional details, you've come to the wrong place; if you want to feel the emotion underneath then welcome. Thumbs up.
Who else here is just skipping through bits of this video, and then is about to go look up the classic tony hawk pro skater rodney mullen vids?
1:18 definitely one of the coolest freestyle tricks I've ever seen. I wish he landed that
He probally did landed it but the "artistic" editor decided that him yelling was "cooler" to show.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him land that in his older video parts.
Rick Sanchez Idk but I guess you could call it a truckstand kickflip
Rick Sanchez it’s called a bingo bango wingo wing the Wong numba
dougthealligator Truckstand is "to rail", as you're standing on the trucks. This is an anticasper kickflip.
This was very great camera arrary and editing, and some skating also was amazing.
AMAZING. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. THANK YOU! LEGEND AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE SKATERS.
I guess the better trick for shooting Rodney was just to point your glass at him and not to forget press the record button.
This kind of editing itself is astonishing. But the most important part of a trick is knowing when to use it.
Thank you, Rodney. Massive respect from The Motivation crew.
Been watching Rodney's video parts since the late 1990's and almost 20 years later I'm still amazed.
Incredibly rad! Rodney is absolutely a master. The moves were beautiful on their own, but I really enjoy the added elegance of the B&W and camera/lighting effects. Sweet soundtrack, too.
Love it!
2016.. pokemon, rodney mullen and blink 182 all back on the scene. i was born 1990 :D
the old, but gold!!!
1991. golden times bro =))
***** xD Perfect dark was a very important part of my childhood. XD
Zanny Danny haa bulky shake shoes were my life! funny now skate shoes are the complete opposite now
Zanny Danny pogs and yoyos too. i almost didnt understand what you were saying there lmao!
that was absolutely amazing! half the flip tricks where done with his knees/legs etc instead of feet, he is an artist on a board. the camera blur effects started to really annoy me by the end though. watching those tricks took me back to my childhood, i actually remember as a kid trying to flip the board and land it sideways with feet on the side of the board/ wheels(i couldnt do it though.. also, sorry dont know what its called) , it was a popular trick back then, times have changed...
LEGEND... Beautiful as always... Thanks Rodney and Vogue team, such a great video to watch....
Some years later and I don't even know what I clicked to get here but I'm glad cause Rodney is truly a god.. like a forever legend. I miss skating so much :(
El mejor skater del planeta!, cuando toca el skate, automáticamente Dios desciende sobre él, lo posee y es inexplicable como Mullen puede tener la capacidad de hacer todas esas variantes y formas. Sin palabras. Jamás nadie mejor! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Yo, that kick flip that he did UPSIDE DOWN BALANCING ON ONE HAND THEN DID IT WITH THAT SINGLE HAND AND LANDED BACK ON THE BOARD WITH GRACE ARE YOU F*****G KIDDING ME.
There are no words, no words that are worthy of describing Rodneys talent level. Don't bother trying to find the words, they haven't been invented yet.
Five years since i first seen this. yep, still amazing.
Beautifully put together and shot. Sickening tricks from a legend who is unbelievably still breaking ground. Woah
tricks are great but the cinematography is to much.
Sooper cool tricks, but the cinematography is kind of cheesy.
so is you're spelling, it's too much
*your
I think Mullen would've perhaps seen this as an opportunity to bring some proper skateboarding to a new audience. Atleast you didn't have to buy a copy of the new THPS to watch this m8!
As for me its awesome! There were not so much effects and if u wanna watch and learn something via slow speed - you are free to go. The montage did not spoil the tricks . P.S. I always watch it before going to skate! P.P.S. I watched Rodney's early videos and according to them you can see his tricks in this video as clear as it had been before.
sick montage and all but as I skateboarder I would like to see the raw footage too
thank you rodney. watching you since I was 5. playing as you in all the games. you're the reason I cut lawns to pick buy my first deck. thank you.
His kickflip late heelfliip, followed by casperspin tre out, then finished with nollie lazer had my jaw on the floor🤤😧
This dude is the greatest skater to ever live.
Skate God. No one will ever come close to this guys skills in skating :) Rodney, u make my heart glow
Robbas what abt nyjah
i nominate 0:42 for the "best superhero landing performed by a non-superhero" category
this dude is the best. Wish I could say that about the editing
