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.
skateboarders are nut's even back then..the horror movie music...was way underground..they were into goth and punk and everything like that ( some of them liked regular music) but most were just out there...rejects...and what mullen was doing back then.....oh my god...you always here about the gonz and tony hawk and all that but just look at him skate......said he was from a farm and skated for like 8 hours straight everyday.
Rodney certainly has mastered the shuv-it - forwards, backwards, inside out. But Ive only seen him do the 720 in Future Primitive. As far as I know he only ever does 540s otherwise. Just that one time in the video. What’s up with that?
Nunkima Ralte ! The first part of the run is the theme song from the movie Halloween. The second part is "September Part 2" by Peter and the Test Tube Babies.
35 years later and it never gets old.....
Let’s give it up to Rodney for using the HalloweeN 2 (1981) theme.
👏👏👏👊
What a showman! Not only was he the greatest freestyle street skater but he knew how to perform for people!
The best way I can describe Rodney’s style is “Skateboarding Magic “
The handstand pivot was nuts! lol
@SinphonicHarmonic - The song is "September Part 2" by Peter and the Test Tube Babies.
this more like magic than a sport.
the stuff that we first saw when tony hawks pro skater came out .. he already did way before it .. crazy dude ..
this one is great
way ahead of his time
Holy crap! The last time I saw this was 1986. When I had my Powell Peralta Steve Caballero edition board!! Awesome!!!
Boy, the music is ominous
Volume : off
Playback speed : 0.25
Lol his skip at the end.

wich version of theme is this?
It wasn't underground. Punk, new wave and goth were pretty mainstream by then. I know because I was there. Thrash was the preferred skater music.
Perfect run
Meh. Little toe touch on the one handed hand stand kickflip. 😂
look at the smoothness in his style! Thanks for uploading!
I love his freestyle, but I’m glad Ternasky talked him into skating street.
Leave it to Mullen to skate to a song in 5/4 haha
Imagine turning up and having to beat this guy :)
How does this video have less than 10k views... i mean how...
