His influence on skateboarding is great, but I think the people in the skateboard community has also helped him grow as a person and to come out of his shell. When skateboarders have a competition, it is great to see how they cheer each other on and support each other like no other sport.
Rodney is such a gem. A truly beautiful mind and an incredible inspirational person, who brought skateboarding to another level. I could easily listen to him for hours. He's so humble and peaceful and lighten up something inside each of us. That mentor and friend most people need in life. The fact it comes down to skateboarding being the tool to expression, mental balance, community, inner peace and life itself for many people couldn't be explained better than by the one who masters this art to perfection and without doubt will be THE best ever on a skateboard (yes you will!). Huge respect and a big thank you Rodney!
Rodney Mullen Transcends Skating, as he had to overcome a lot, mainly his struggles with dealing with lots and lots of people around. He also speaks with such conviction and while in the skate world so many tricks he created and so many tricks he took in and Mullened them back out into new things! He was one of my heroes when there was no youtube and I'd occasionally get a skate video(I got Rodney V Daewon rounds 1 and 2 and hah after 5 minutes of watching I'd be done and out on board for the rest of the day!) But I also love how he is always hungry for knowledge and to see him break down tricks by physics! There will never be another like him! I am just so thankful for everything he did for at first, skating, and later on These talks are so motivational!
He is autistic so dealing with lots of people can at time be over helming to the senses and cause anxity and it very tiring to process I'm also autistic and have experience this where I need to recharge on my own either skateboarding in isolation or listen to music at home
@@floydkelley3 if you feel this way, I recommend that you try to apply "everything is a trick" mentality, viewed through the prism of this insight, wrapped into method of how Rodney describes figuring out tricks in "from the ground up" documentary to everything in life. I came to this video to do research about the whole "being stanceless" concept("shouldn't these look more like mirror images?") and ended up with this "he speaks like he skates" insight too and now I even more convinced than before that what Rodney done to skating can be applied to evolve and better human life in general.
@@snowhusk This is beautifully said. The way he has described how context changes content has been beneficial to me to view what he has said in that regard and being able to relay that insight into the world of music, being a musician, for instance.
I get mad "Mr. Rogers" vibes from this dude. He's fucking awesome at explaining concepts or processes. And to think, every trick I ever learned on my board was because of this dude.
I love him, his accomplishments his attitude, his associations, his most everything but there's no doubt in my mind that if he's not a stoner, he should be.
It's actually an Impossible to FS 50/50, you should check out "My War: Jamie Thomas" it gives a behind the scenes insight of what he went through to make that trick. He's insane.
Now that I watch it again, you're right. Checked out the "My War" video also. Crazy shit. Jamie Thomas has always been one of my favorite skaters. Now that I'm 30 years old, it deff hypes me to see him do this at age 40. After tearing my ACL and meniscus completely I was hitting google hard in hopes to find some skaters that have had the same injury and continue to skate. Sure enough Jamie Thomas was one of them so gives me hope of getting back on my board!
Rodney fused art and physical science into this beautiful language....his life is the best trick..I know God enjoys his skating because it is the true expression of his soul
That forward backwards amadextric thing is amazing took me a bit to really notice the way the hips lock but when I finally could see I find totally amazing the way your muscles and scare tissue develops over time gives you your directional really cool stuff I've followed Rodney since I think 91 when I started skating it was his tricks all my friends were trying to do like pressure flips super small wheels insane baggy pants all trying to be Rodney talent just flows from him in every way
On the one hand: his voice is so soothing, its relaxes me enough to get to sleep. On the other hand: His words inspire me to want to get outta bed and go conquer the day.
His vocabulary is so vast, as technically as his skating, Rodney is a physical genius, master, sensei, guru, etc. skaters need this mindset, as Einstein said, insanity is doing the same thing expecting a different result, great skaters, have sharp minds
No it transmorphs into superstrong alien grade tendons with artificial muscles from stem cell technology and he countinues to bound thru the universe on a skateboard breaking boundaries daily, excuse me not daily, consistently because time doesn't exist in his realm, dumb fuck!!!!! Lol!!!!!!
Just watched him doing an interview with hawk and he said that he spent 13 days out of every 14 for years putting enough pressure on his bones to almost break them by doing stuff like putting his leg in the wheelwell of his car and turning it and turning it enough to make him scream loud enough for the cops to show up multiple times in order to "weed out" or "pluck out" the scar tissue. 😳
18:18 it looks like a fakie laser to me, I don't get his point about the disruption of the nomenclature by going 'backwards' instead of fakie? can someone explain
Yeah, but I have to wear a special suit and probes when I skate and I'm limited to not doing any standard tricks because I can't copy anyone elses trick or style or else the suit will stop me from moving and shut down and it goes into static mode until I have a new idea and then it motors up and will let me move. They did this because people place value on others actions but I can't promote any truth to originality or style or love or anything beyond politics and semantics and lies and blindness to the truth and as well an inability to avoid the world itself. So it was used to help prove to me that it could recognize when I referenced anyone else and thier movements and ideas and mechanics...to prove that I could not achieve anything whatsoever. It would catch me copying others or wasting my time trying to be original but it wasn't possible. It would also catch me stepping on others to achieve. Proving that I was ethically as complicit in competing as I could be in something as serious as murdering someone. That I was willing to use this force to compete...that I could also explain it away as a disability...that I would ignore it because it was in my mind...and even become maniacal...preying upon all the material I could consume...or that i would likewise turn it all off..and promote that I was ignorant and thus innocent...to others work...thier work...it was really just them doing the same thing...and thus i could enjoy thier suffering and failure and thier success was worthless...I became megalomania based in sharing the success as well...I believed it was me that allowed them to suceed. It became illusory at times too...like the Jedi uses force...the desire to see others recognize success sometime meant feeling through thier failure...thier pain...thier weakness and attacking there...I learned to recognize that all humanity did this. This was how wars were fought. This is how politics were developed. This was even how math and numbers worked. There's nothing in our world that doesn't work this way. It allows each one of us when we recognize that there's nothing to cling to here but chaos and form and greed and denial. We could turn the whole thing into good and evil and dose ourselves in one direction or the other. There was nothing left. So my suit was made to make me ethically true. I remain in stasis at rest unable to move as long as it takes...until I can do something neutral. It rarely happens. My life is totally redundant and all I do is rest while the rest of the world tries to true itself to the ability my suit has over me. No one ever achieves it because the suit is just a suit. My life is stable and healthy. My mind is clear and aware of the localization of my rights and that they are on hold. I'm not lazy or overweight or sad about the problems. I'm not allowed to regress or accept a lesser good or evil. I'm aware of both of these ideals and ideas and ideologies in competition with one another and how they cooperate to justify force as intellect as a physics aspect. It's not. Nor is art exempt or neutral. Is there an answer? Is there a goal? The suits data processor is still processing...I'm not guilty of anything...the implications are simply designer..wether accidental or intentional people are limited...using words instead of actions doesn't change it... Being good instead of bad doesn't make a difference. It's still the same thing. There are teams...they have goals...they make choices for other people..but it's still only programming. My suit recognizes that. The probes recognize my brain recognizing my body wants to act and react to the freedom to engage the systems at work here. It still won't let me and the data shows that it is correct to continue to keep me in stasis as it does not yet find a result that fits the specific terms of my originality at all. So far it means being original means not existing...it means rest...and it means you can recognize and judge that this is all one thing...not two...it's not good or evil...it's work...it's bad programming ..and that if we really wanted one way or the other...we would find nature had already done this and that if we could see how we had gotten here and why and our evolution and our future...we would recognize how phony it was...and how bad it was. The differences are political and represent something as simple as a mirror and material vs image and flesh. They are the same and they are each other caused by oneness and equality and it's duplicity is in it's origin. The seeking of the self is in the material world...not as flesh but material gain and intellectual gain...it seeks the mirror and material but makes it a predator prey relationship. The transcendental politic is likewise dead ended. It is the same to copy religion or philosophy as it is to do anything else wether ignorant or not to it's lack of originality. Believing in it does not make it so...I know because a machine does it for me...if a machine can breathe for me...it can live for me...and be good for me..or evil for me...or niether...as of now it holds me to represent this ability. The suit is called the T.O.M.B. it's a temporal observationally motivated biosynthesis limiter of verified evolutional program ethics. L.O.V.E.P.E. I know my machine is redundant...I know what a hero or Gillian can do...nothing...destroy or rest...save or rest...the rest is the same for any other system. There is only one solution for humanity. Total assimilation and total diffusion into the world and it's systems. It's just like any other answer. J have to be the machine and live at the speed of life not the speed of truth. Law. That is all there is ..and it can currupt you and drive you mad. So you can scale in various directions to evade...it's not impossible..doing nothing and death are just like rest or recovery or immunity. Someone will judge the others and not be exempt themselves. We know the limits are still stuck where someone cast this technology of exemption as God...but in reality it is us...recognizing that we need something wholly different or we need to commit to this world. The successful always trap the most people. Peace at work always wins above all and creativity and crime compete for the rest. It's a goverment as a whole trying to assert or degrade itself and it's guise is progress. The same answer remains..we can do nothing...because we are programming assimilation of redundancy. Those who preside are the same. Rodney is original because the skateboard didn't exist...then it did...it takes time to recognize the redundancy...or it takes less than a second...but there's no choice. It's suits or it's nothing...there will be no change..not even in a thousand years...today's madness is today's happiness...the illusion is real...but we are virtuous in imagination and virtual in inclination.

Dude, do you think that "coincidences aren't coincidences" by any chance? Sometimes I feel as if being not person, but a "host", a vessel through which ("greater than side-effects of specifics of any person" kind of functions of the world) manifest themselves. Sometimes it feels like being possessed, for instance last night I tried to explain in some insta comments how sexist some thing was, and it ended up in long-winded and metaphorical story about how "demons like us play with the world and minds" and how we manifest tools to do so. It took me two hours and shitton of comments, after which I felt relief. Long story short - your name is Lance Love, and lance as an object is a manifestation of (forward directed motion).effect , so I feel like I found your comments for an intricately entangled reason and so I would like to thank you this way before reading all that and saving it. Much love to you, whoever you might be, and godspeed!
Skaters have a bad habit of doing the splits when they miss a trick or don't catch the end of the board right. Over time Rod had built up scar tissue that was pulling his hip into the socket, grinding and limiting his mobility. The doctors couldn't repair it because it would create more scar tissue. It took two years of him pulling on his leg putting his weight on it from his wheel well or a fire hydrant etc. , screaming in pain and crying until it finally tore the scar with a loud popping sound. He talks more in depth about it in other videos or combination of videos you can piece it together.
If he did that he would in way better shape but a lot less happy. It's hard to find something you really love and are willing to put that much time into
The way he moves, its like he is literally on a board at all times.
This guy is a gift to this planet.
KIM JONG-IL is a gift to this planet
Dont be fooled
No one tougher than this alive today. No one softer than this, either. Guy is incredible. Loves God, too. Literal genius.
I grew up skating in the late 80's early 90's and this is like hearing Jesus speak to his disciples. Living Legend
I can never get enough of this guy.
He is an amazing inspiration, inside and outside of our skate world
same here. agree
I feel like Rodney Mullen could teach biomechanics courses better then most of my professors
Not better then KIM JONG-IL
His influence on skateboarding is great, but I think the people in the skateboard community has also helped him grow as a person and to come out of his shell. When skateboarders have a competition, it is great to see how they cheer each other on and support each other like no other sport.
"thank you for listening to me"
I could listen to Rodney Mullen talk for days and days and days
First Trucks Ever were Tensors - Thank you - So much Love Rod!

His little nervous laughs are soo cute lol
How can anyone give this a dislike?
I am praying for you Rodney mullen . god bless you . you are the worlds greatest skater . amen i
And that concludes the lecture on LIFE

Rodney Mullen is the godfather skateboarding deserves. No one is as passionate about it and humble as he is.
Legend!
I get mad "Mr. Rogers" vibes from this dude. He's fucking awesome at explaining concepts or processes. And to think, every trick I ever learned on my board was because of this dude.
Thanks for sharing Rodney Mullen!
If aliens visited our planet, can you please represent our human race
That's a good call but a poor representation of what humanity is really like.we should be ignored,we are fuckin horrible
He has to have an IQ of 200. He's so incredibly smart
Autism!
They should make a movie with this dude as producer like if you agree!
I love him, his accomplishments his attitude, his associations, his most everything but there's no doubt in my mind that if he's not a stoner, he should be.

Alternative title: This one simple trick allows you skate switch just like your regular stance
Love the way he get excited about seeing his own tricks thats dope
Yoooooooooooo. 10:09 was part of "bLind: what if?" prob the most influential vid to get me to skate. Much respect Rodney. Much respect.
"the enemies gate is down" from enders game = "what happened to backwards" from Rodney
Just me or does Rodney have that asmr voice to put you to sleep? lol.
WatchtowerbaseHQ not just you, people call him the bob ross of skating lol
I could marry him, easily
On the one hand: his voice is so soothing, its relaxes me enough to get to sleep.

Omg. Rodney
Such an amazing talent and orator.
I wonder if the scar tissue he is talking about is still an issue for him at his age.
He learned to skate goofy so that he could continue skating.
what a madman
No it transmorphs into superstrong alien grade tendons with artificial muscles from stem cell technology and he countinues to bound thru the universe on a skateboard breaking boundaries daily, excuse me not daily, consistently because time doesn't exist in his realm, dumb fuck!!!!! Lol!!!!!!

I hate it when they just put “Rodney Mullen Skateboarder”
Should it be like “Rodney Mullen God of Skateboarding”
Amen, Rodney.
Stories , science fiction stories about visitors from another planet
18:18 it looks like a fakie laser to me, I don't get his point about the disruption of the nomenclature by going 'backwards' instead of fakie? can someone explain
an icon to look up to and listen. Un relenting positivity
Stands like he can skate spontaneously
Rodney Mullen is more injury prone vs other athletes in sports they won't have any of that I am the same...
Sad thing is, this mans wisdom is absolutely wasted on all the chads and trust fund champagne Charlie's in attendance.
Well, it's online for thousands more to watch, so I wouldn't call it a waste at all
He is sharing it with the world. He is speaking to anyone who is willing to listen

It took me two hours and shitton of comments, after which I felt relief.

@@snowhusk Read Angel Tech by Anterro Alli
I'm not sure what I just read. I feel like there was some overall point behind this but it mostly seems like words randomly thrown together?
Yeah when you see a child or female do a trick you can't do it fuckin kills lol
Why does it matter if a female can do it?
what is this scar tissue he's talking about?
6Diego1Diego9 It's pretty self-explanatory.
He's talking about his favourite song by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Skaters have a bad habit of doing the splits when they miss a trick or don't catch the end of the board right. Over time Rod had built up scar tissue that was pulling his hip into the socket, grinding and limiting his mobility. The doctors couldn't repair it because it would create more scar tissue. It took two years of him pulling on his leg putting his weight on it from his wheel well or a fire hydrant etc. , screaming in pain and crying until it finally tore the scar with a loud popping sound.
He talks more in depth about it in other videos or combination of videos you can piece it together.
second comment ;p
Rodney use to skate for 9 hours a day, imagine if he workout for 9 hours a day instead!🏋️♂️💪
If he did that he would in way better shape but a lot less happy. It's hard to find something you really love and are willing to put that much time into
That's what makes Mullen so great
you've never skated have you? :P 1 hour of skateboarding and i'm sweaty as hell - a couple and i'm exhausted. skateboarding is a great workout.
Interesting what you took out of this video.
Kim Jong-un you burn 500 calories a hour from skating or 800 calories if you’re a aggressive skater. So to be honest.. it’s getter than most workouts.
