So he will skate. He's the Freestyler So-Cal deserves, but not the one it needs right now. He became the street skater we needed him to be. So, we'll lurk him, because he can take it. Because he IS our hero. He's a silent shredder. A watchful professional. A Darkslider.
I went from Andy interview to here and I can see why we need Rodney and Andy getting together and having a skate, a lesson, a trip down memory lane and having the coolest conversation between each other. Please make this happen 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@shinytanzanite8980 In the episode with Andy, he asked Tony to send a video/question to Rodney about a trick he was trying to learn. If Andy had skated with Rodney before, I'm sure they would have exchanged some sort of contact information. Seems unlikely to me that they have met each other in person, that is before EP 162 at least.
those made me a skater ^^ i got sooooo much shit for freestyling from others.... until i showed them what i was attempting.... Always had a mentality, skating is not about what you know or can do.... its how you feel when doing it is what matters.... i had NO TALENT, everything i learned was hard work... but loved every second of it!
I had no interest in learning how to skate beyond cruising after obliterating my ankle and knee in the first two years as a kid. Then I unlocked Rodney’s videos and still do flat ground as a party trick 20 years later lol
I once met Rodney Mullen at the University of Virginia. I was a 36 yr old college student, lifelong skater punk, in a room full of young 20-something medical students. I skated there from my house about 2 miles away. After his presentation we chatted and he signed my board. They say 'never meet your heroes,' to which I say, "Never meet your heroes, unless your hero is Rodney Mullen. Always meet Rodney Mullen." He is one of the nicest, sincerest, and genuine, people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
I meet Rodney back in 87 I think.. he was doing a tour and was at Sears doing Rodney things…I was just magical watching him skate freestyle. Got my G&S shirt signed, not sure were that shirt went…
Idk.. I met him once. He called me a poser and snapped my deck. He then proceeded to bang my girlfriend and push my grandmother down a flight of stairs,
I can listen to Rodney speak all day. Such a bright light in this world. So much intelligence and the way he gets so excited telling stories. Such a legend!
Thanks for asking that because it made it into this podcast! It's awesome to be remembered like that. When Green Day first came out they played a tiny club downtown Vancouver called the Nappy Dugout. Held less than 200 people. My friend asked them to play a song but their set was over and they told him to go to a bigger club they were playing soon. My friend was underage so he said he couldn't go. The next time they came to town was after they blew up. Lollapalooza. Billy Joe looks at the crowd and says "This doesn't look like the Nappy Dugout", then proceeded to play my friend's request. Funny thing is he didn't hear that because he was outside the fence with another couple friends because they couldn't get tickets and were trying to find a quiet spot to jump the fence so I was the only person in the whole place who understood what he was talking about.
He is so infectious - life brims through him in such a seamless and affable manner. So humble, no bullshit, biggest heart of gold in this world. And he and Tony’s chemistry is clearly evident - they’ve been through thick and thin - it’s a pleasure to watch. It’s cool to see Wolf enamoured by these too good buds just sharing war stories.
"Did you giggle a bit after?" Jason Ellis kills me. The overall level of excitement on display by everyone just makes me so happy to be a skateboarder!
I’m 44, from the Uk and never skated in my life but always knew of Rodney Mullen. The guy is a once in a lifetime genius and honestly seems like the nicest guy you will ever meet. Just pure calm vibes. I love this podcast. Wish I had been part of this amazing community
The UK has rich skateboard history. London had a vert ranp called the Crystal Palace in the early 80s that produced a crop of pro skaters like the Abrook brothers, Billy Smith and many others who's names escape me.
Seriously. You can still do it. I see people starting in their 40s. I started in my 30s, but in my 20s I was telling myself it was too late. All I can say now is that I live without the regret I would have carried with me until my death bed. I'm not good or anything, but I do consider myself part of this community and it means a lot to me that I gave it a shot.
I love Jason shouting "what?!" every time Rodney is about to tell a crazy story. Jason pretty much represents all of us watching at home, haha. Great interview. Looking forward for round 3!
You're right, Rodney seems very focused in this interview compared to some of the other videos I've seen of him and the dynamic between him and Tony is very cool to watch.
Listening to Rodney talk 1 hour 20 seems like 5 minutes. It's truly amazing. I know at some point somebody is going to get a real deep dive with him. I can't wait for the day.
theres a ton of deep dives on rodney, his first apperance on this podcast kinda was if i remmeber right. he explains his whole life . either way you can find it online and several others. theres alose bone birgade documentary which also features him majorly
@@morrisalanisette9067 Yeah I've seen all the stuff you mentioned. Thing is one of his stories can literally go for a hour if he goes fully into detail. He could easily do a 4-6 hour podcast just telling 80s stories. Not even touching on anything else.
Honestly. I couldn't believe when this podcast ended. My brain immediately had a backfire at the end, with the thought of "that whole thing was just 10 minutes!", and then I looked at the time. Incredible podcast. All 3 dudes just on fire.
Two hours ago, after 8 years break I went into a local skate shop Just to think it over With all that awesome podcasts And they’ve had Riley’s Baker deck and Tony’s Indy trucks … Well I guess it’s fate !! I feel soooo happy And full of energy And ready rip it Rodney stile alone For my self And the go back to work and rip there ! Thanks a lot guys! I just feel alive
Seeing Rodney so damn happy and to hear him be able to ride a board again truly brought a tear to my eyes! Man Rodney is the absolute best! Thank you guys so much for what you do! One love from Canada!!
I was a little kid in 2003 watching viva la bam and trying to just stand on my board. But I tried to do primo stalls and caspers and I failed. THIS man was ALWAYS my first favorite.
Not even Gullwing trucks could have kept that interview on the rails. BEST pod cast I’ve ever watched and I’m overjoyed to see that Rodney is back on the board. What a special treat for fans of Skateboarding to have this interview drop.
Rodney is a true role model for absolutely anything!! Everyone can and will learn something amazing or beautiful each time Rodney decides to make an appearance to the public!! He is truly a gift from god!!
Second hand smoke was that video for me.. it was the one that inspired me.. When Aerosmith comes on and Rodney starts you understood you were seeing something special.. That part inspired me to skate even when i didnt feel like it.. It was Amazing and a major part of my childhood ill never forget
I'm 32 and JUST found my old board from high-school. Deck is pretty rough but the trucks, wheels & bearings are still good. It's been 15 years too long since I last threw down on it, so I hit my local skate shop for a new deck today. Wish me luck fellas because the old man's oit of retirement 🤙😂
Oh my gosh, I have been waiting for this episode!! Rodney is such a a joy to listen to, and I love seeing he and Tony's friendship! So glad to hear he's having some health improvements to help him skate again; can't wait for Round 3!
When I was 5 years old, my older brother brought home the vhs tape of Rodney vs. Daewon Round 2. This was my first exposure to skateboarders and I remember seeing Rodney Mullen and just thinking, this guy is my hero! The shows, the skate style, the song choice; t was all awesome to me! Skating has been an in and out part of my life but no matter what, anytime I was asked who my favorite athlete was, the answer was always Rodney! It’s crazy to think that I’m 28 now and this man is still out here demanding admiration. It’s hard to put into words how much this man impacted my life. Not that I did anything worthy of note, but I remember at that age being introduced to his style and person and having that impact the way that I thought I could be; different, exceptional, humble, ma(genius). I am not those things, but Rodney was my introduction to this and every time I see him, I resonate on the same frequency as him and the 5 year old me and I almost feel tears as in reminded of how I was introduced to this beautiful world of skateboarding. Thank you guys for pulling him by the ears till he agreed to be on camera for these interviews!
WoW. In tears of joy. Watching Rodney, Tony & Jason 'man laughing' from the soul while story telling just made this damn day a whole lot better. Thank U gents...you are gifts to this planet :)
I could listen to Rodney talk all day......i could watch him skate all day as well. I watched him become the best street skater and i even learn a few of the good tricks. He changed the way we thought about tricks and skateboarding.
There was a reason why for sooooo long Rodney was on a path of inner self awareness and not being one to put much out.... Because it all came to the perfect time of now where everything he shares no matter what it is comes with a wisdom that is almost beyond us all yet shown through him how simple it can be if we just be a little humble while owning what we do best and play our part as best we can for the bigger picture! This is what happens when you just let experience lead the way... EPIC!
The world doesnt need super heroes it needs more living legends like Rodney Mullen... Straight back to skating after a hip replacement is the most commendable thing a person can do 🤘🏾
Watching/hearing these guys talk always makes me feel good about life, especially Ellis cos it brings back some good memories I was there in the 90's at Prahran scared to death of him but still in awe of him and know proud of him for killing it for so long.
Back in the day when I was little kid skating in my neighborhood, me and a group of my buddies use pack into my little room, site indian style around my little vhs tv, and watch Rodney Mullen VS Daewon Song & round 2, in pure amazement. The video was magical back in the day!!!
I have to say, I was totally unaware of this youtube channel. I fell asleep watching videos and this was on when I woke up... BRILLIANT! What a great video. You have to admire Rodney Mullen's passion and honesty, and such a great sense of love, respect and fun between the three of you. Fantastic watch... Liked... Subscribed 🤙
Skateboarding legends digging through memories and having fun the entire episode... A proof that skateboarding is not a sport nor lifestyle but state of mind. Thanks guys for bringing modern skateboarding to us and for staying true to who you are. This episode was a joy to watch and one of the best videos about skateboarding I've seen recently. It's truly awesome to hear that Mullen can skate again :')
THIS WAS SO GOOD. I laughed and then nearly cried when I saw Rodney sound so excited to skate again and Jason smiling so big at him knowing what it feels like to hit tricks again ❤️ this was sick
The story at the end where he can skate again got me so stoked and was moving. Thanks for sharing your story, life, and skateboarding with the world Rodney!
I too had countless hours as Rodney Mullen on the THPS games… so I’m also part of the reason why his hips were breaking down lol. I had those stat points maxed for balance. Combo meters going crazy! 😂 @hawkvswolf
I don't skateboard but I'm a huge fan of Rodney Mullen. He brings everyone joy because of who he is and what he can do. When you want to see the best of the best and be entertained, find some Rodney Mullen footage. There will never be anyone better.
My buddygot to meet his hero Rodney Mullen in California back in 2018, to this day says it was the best day of his life and that Rodney was the nicest guy he has ever met
This is PURE GOLD. If I had this podcast 25 years ago when I was 13 and just finding my idol Rodney for the first time, this would have changed my life so much. It's so incredible to see the 2 or maybe 3 worlds of skating come together and talk about their experiences. I never had that growing up. It was like bloods and crips, skiers and snowboarders, street and vert just never mixed. I hope the youth can truly see the deeper meaning behind this episode. So badass
There truly is no other like him. Best skater, podcast guest and all around personality ever. I tip my hat and bow you, Sir Rodney Mullen, Godfather of the art we all love so much.
You should have him on more often hes just a cool dude. I watch some skating stuff but not a ton but whenever yt offers me something with Rodney in it i always watch it. Glad to hear hes getting healed up, his skating is always so more enjoyable to watch... the things he came up with are just insane
There is nothing cooler than seeing one of the few people on this earth comfortable enough as Rodney’s friend to shit talk Rodney. Tony and Rodney are two of the greatest skateboarders of all time and they’re best friends. How ironic.
Holy shit! Thanks guys so much, I still listen to Rodney’s last episode whenever I’m having a shitty day and it always helps. Can’t wait to see this one!
I'm 48 and have become disabled by fibromyalgia and the resulting depression from not being able to do the things I used to. Or anything I enjoy anymore. So I can relate and I am truly happy you guys still are able to do what you love so much. You've been an inspiration to me for 40 years. Ever since I found my inner punk kid skater that I still hold dear today. Thank you legends! BTW my last girlfriend's mom, Mimi, told me she was your accountant for many years lol.
This just made my week. Rodney might be my only idol in life, just the way he views life inspires me so much. I don't know if he'll ever see this, but man, thank you Rodney Mullen, for being such an icon and inspiration to me and so many others!
I live in Rodney's home town and I gotta say, he's left an impact. The skate culture here is so great and his first ever sponseres is the local skateshop for most of us here. It's crazy to think about my proximity to such a huge legend. Much love Tony And Wolf ❤
41yrs old now and grew up watching all 3 of them. But rodneys always been an inspiration and now just as the best skater ever, but a very smart, caring human being that seems to love unconditionally. Would love to hang out with the guy and just talk with him and listen to what he has to say.
When the world needed him the most, he came back.
Skateboard Jesus
Avatar the first kickflipper.
So he will skate. He's the Freestyler So-Cal deserves, but not the one it needs right now. He became the street skater we needed him to be. So, we'll lurk him, because he can take it. Because he IS our hero.
He's a silent shredder. A watchful professional. A Darkslider.
When this podcast needed him most lol
@@Turdfergusen382 Top lel 🤭💀
I’m a 35 year old man. And I still want to be like Rodney Mullen when I get older.
agree
I always wanted to either be Trent Reznor, Allen Iverson, or Rodney Mullen; just behind ya at 34 but still have the same aspirations!
I'm 40, I've been watching him my whole life and still hope for the same!
We all do bud. He's a gem and the world needs more like him. Be like Rodney.
@@meteda1070100% agree I'm 44 n been watching him n before hearing full interviews had a feeling he was a major self driven person
I went from Andy interview to here and I can see why we need Rodney and Andy getting together and having a skate, a lesson, a trip down memory lane and having the coolest conversation between each other. Please make this happen 🙏🙏🙏🙏
For sure! 2 of the most creative skaters together would be insane!
I would be shocked if they haven't already skated together in private
@@shinytanzanite8980 I'll only believe it if they show footage... About an hour of footage should convince me😂

I'm not even a skater, but unlocking Rodney's videos in THPS was and still is witnessing magic.
Facts 💯
those made me a skater ^^ i got sooooo much shit for freestyling from others.... until i showed them what i was attempting....
Always had a mentality, skating is not about what you know or can do.... its how you feel when doing it is what matters.... i had NO TALENT, everything i learned was hard work... but loved every second of it!

Wouldnt surprise me if it encouraged a million young skaters to pick up the board
I once met Rodney Mullen at the University of Virginia. I was a 36 yr old college student, lifelong skater punk, in a room full of young 20-something medical students. I skated there from my house about 2 miles away.
After his presentation we chatted and he signed my board.

I got to meet my hero as a kid ( Rodney ) and got his signature too. What a guy.
I meet Rodney back in 87 I think.. he was doing a tour and was at Sears doing Rodney things…I was just magical watching him skate freestyle. Got my G&S shirt signed, not sure were that shirt went…
Met him when I was 14 in Va beach. He’s the best!
Thanks for sharing mate; he seems 100% authentic and kind, and it is good to hear confirmation it's not a farce. Long live King Mutt.
So true. I met Mike V at a Black Flag show and it was a lil disappointing..
Just hearing Rodney talk makes me smile
Yeshsure
Us too 😊
Most def
So real
Rodney Mullen is one of the kindest people on the planet. What a guy.
If every guest was just Rodney again. We would never stop watching
Idk.. I met him once. He called me a poser and snapped my deck. He then proceeded to bang my girlfriend and push my grandmother down a flight of stairs,
Rodney the Beloved
Dana Carvey + Garth Algar+ buddhist monk = Rodney Mullen
Yes, he's definitely the maestro of flip and manual tricks.
I can listen to Rodney speak all day. Such a bright light in this world. So much intelligence and the way he gets so excited telling stories. Such a legend!
I think the blue chew ad was the best ad ever. Tony hawk being embarrassed talking about peckers is great stuff.
Rodney should be on this show full time petition:
Hawk & Wolf & Mutt. I dig that.
@@Glenn-hm8sb He's Rodney Mullen nothing can throw him off balance.
Hawk & Mutt
@@fernandomaron87Hawk, Wolf, Rat
Favorite quote: “You land your first dark slide at 3am. Yeah, that’s on brand.” This interview is classic.
We need Rodney more than ever. Not just as a skater but as a philosopher, leader and role model.
I listened to the first interview with Rodney about 57 times. Here's to another 57. The stories in this episode are epic!
❤️
Sabrina! DM US!
I just listened to this one 3 times, going on 4 as I just heard it today. I love hearing this man banter. He's the warmest man on Earth ❤

I was the guy at 59.45!! So awesome they remembered my question at the Bones Brigade Experience!! Thanks, Tony & Rodney!!
Thanks for asking that because it made it into this podcast!
It's awesome to be remembered like that. When Green Day first came out they played a tiny club downtown Vancouver called the Nappy Dugout. Held less than 200 people. My friend asked them to play a song but their set was over and they told him to go to a bigger club they were playing soon. My friend was underage so he said he couldn't go.

@@jasondashney that's so awesome that he remembered to mention that
The post surgery kickflip story got me stoked, let Rodney skate forever.
The gentlest, the noblest, the most creative, the most inspiring, the Mutt, the G.O.A.T...the greatest. Rodney, we love you, dude. You are a treasure.
Rodney's energy is so uplifting.
Hearing Rodney’s excitement about learning to kickflip again post surgery gave me chills.
Rodney Mullen podcast update. I'm here for it

Saw this as I was heading to bed. I have work tomorrow and I just finished watching. It's 2am and I regret NOTHING. That was AMAZING

Two hours ago, after 8 years break
I went into a local skate shop
Just to think it over
With all that awesome podcasts
And they’ve had Riley’s Baker deck and Tony’s Indy trucks …
Well I guess it’s fate !!
I feel soooo happy
And full of energy
And ready rip it Rodney stile alone
For my self
And the go back to work and rip there !
Thanks a lot guys!

Hell yeah, welcome back man, we missed you!! Get after it!!!
That's awesome. I hope you've had a chance to use it.
I'm the guy who asked that question, lol!! Thanks for remembering, Tony & Rodney!!!
Thank YOU 🙏 ❤️
Thank you Rodney for wearing a Jeff Phillips shirt. ❤
how do i get one of those shirts
The way Tony and Rodney light up when they talk to each other is so frickin cool, you can see how they were as kids

Only 1h 20m?!? Damnnnn i needed this in my life right now..how the hell does rodney look even younger than he did on the last pod
The 2 most influential people in skateboarding history in the same room together man what a joy to watch (sorry Jason we still love you)
Still waiting for gonz to jump on

The whole world loves Rodney Mullen. As they should.
OMG Rodney’s stories... I love them so much.😂

I was a little kid in 2003 watching viva la bam and trying to just stand on my board.

Gonna have to try to get my hands on that board. I’ll have been skating 30 years in September. Just had an ankle replacement and I’m feeling good.
Rodney is the skateboarders Bob Ross. I could listen to him for hours. He’s so sweet and his love for skateboarding shines through his smile
Man we need to see Rodney on more often, my favourite episodes. the vibe is an all time high!!
The most beautiful person to ever walk this planet, even his happiness makes me 😢

And Jason Jesse Lee Dill Park Ellis.
The Rodney Mullen skate vhs videos were an inspiration to life. Man is a king for sure
Please, please keep sharing Rodney with the world every chance you guys get.
There was a reason why for sooooo long Rodney was on a path of inner self awareness and not being one to put much out....
Because it all came to the perfect time of now where everything he shares no matter what it is comes with a wisdom that is almost beyond us all yet shown through him how simple it can be if we just be a little humble while owning what we do best and play our part as best we can for the bigger picture!
This is what happens when you just let experience lead the way...
EPIC!
That final 10 minutes is just beautiful, love this fellas

This is all i ever wanted from this podcast. Everything else was just icing

Straight back to skating after a hip replacement is the most commendable thing a person can do 🤘🏾
He's such a pure soul. What a legend.
He really is. ❤️
Rodney has been my favorite skater since I discovered skating and now he’s one of my favorite people. So glad I found this pod!
Watching/hearing these guys talk always makes me feel good about life, especially Ellis cos it brings back some good memories I was there in the 90's at Prahran scared to death of him but still in awe of him and know proud of him for killing it for so long.
Back in the day when I was little kid skating in my neighborhood, me and a group of my buddies use pack into my little room, site indian style around my little vhs tv, and watch Rodney Mullen VS Daewon Song & round 2, in pure amazement. The video was magical back in the day!!!
Absolutely love Rodney and his contagious positive energy
I have to say, I was totally unaware of this youtube channel. I fell asleep watching videos and this was on when I woke up... BRILLIANT! What a great video. You have to admire Rodney Mullen's passion and honesty, and such a great sense of love, respect and fun between the three of you. Fantastic watch... Liked... Subscribed 🤙
Skateboarding legends digging through memories and having fun the entire episode...
A proof that skateboarding is not a sport nor lifestyle but state of mind.
Thanks guys for bringing modern skateboarding to us and for staying true to who you are. This episode was a joy to watch and one of the best videos about skateboarding I've seen recently.
It's truly awesome to hear that Mullen can skate again :')
THIS WAS SO GOOD. I laughed and then nearly cried when I saw Rodney sound so excited to skate again and Jason smiling so big at him knowing what it feels like to hit tricks again ❤️ this was sick
Tomorrow marks my 1 year hip replacement and it's bombproof. Just waking up and not being in pain is the best thing ever!
The story at the end where he can skate again got me so stoked and was moving. Thanks for sharing your story, life, and skateboarding with the world Rodney!
The hero we want & need. Bless skateboarding for keeping us limber in our older days.
Rodney and Tony such a big motivation for me to skate everyday
I too had countless hours as Rodney Mullen on the THPS games… so I’m also part of the reason why his hips were breaking down lol. I had those stat points maxed for balance. Combo meters going crazy! 😂 @hawkvswolf
Rodney is the greatest thing to happen to skateboarding
I don't skateboard but I'm a huge fan of Rodney Mullen. He brings everyone joy because of who he is and what he can do. When you want to see the best of the best and be entertained, find some Rodney Mullen footage. There will never be anyone better.
My buddygot to meet his hero Rodney Mullen in California back in 2018, to this day says it was the best day of his life and that Rodney was the nicest guy he has ever met
This is PURE GOLD. If I had this podcast 25 years ago when I was 13 and just finding my idol Rodney for the first time, this would have changed my life so much. It's so incredible to see the 2 or maybe 3 worlds of skating come together and talk about their experiences. I never had that growing up. It was like bloods and crips, skiers and snowboarders, street and vert just never mixed. I hope the youth can truly see the deeper meaning behind this episode. So badass
Man Rodney is the best watching him and Tony reminisce and Jason just geeking out awesome
Thank You for this episode
There truly is no other like him. Best skater, podcast guest and all around personality ever. I tip my hat and bow you, Sir Rodney Mullen, Godfather of the art we all love so much.
Rodney's back!
HOW HAD I MISSED THIS! Well now I'm here for it right after watchingthe Andy Anderson episode!
Man, I could listen to Rodney talk all day, he’s so passionate about skating in every aspect. Just the way he gets so excited.
You should have him on more often hes just a cool dude. I watch some skating stuff but not a ton but whenever yt offers me something with Rodney in it i always watch it. Glad to hear hes getting healed up, his skating is always so more enjoyable to watch... the things he came up with are just insane
"IT WAS YOU!"
Rodney, never change, always evolve.
There is nothing more legendary wholesomeness than listening to Rodney & Tony discussing the process of invention during the early days
Thank you Hawk vs Wolf for having the Legendary Rodney Mullen back on! I can’t get enough
Rodney Mullen has to be one of the greatest humans who ever lived.
Also I always played as him in every OG THPS.
You got soul Rodney.. Tears in my eyes when you said about taking a knee and realising you're back. Peace.
There is nothing cooler than seeing one of the few people on this earth comfortable enough as Rodney’s friend to shit talk Rodney. Tony and Rodney are two of the greatest skateboarders of all time and they’re best friends. How ironic.
Lets GO!! There goes any chance of going to sleep at 4 am now.
😂
Rodney vs. Daewon is still my favorite skate video of all time, love this guy
Holy shit! Thanks guys so much, I still listen to Rodney’s last episode whenever I’m having a shitty day and it always helps. Can’t wait to see this one!
❤️
When Rodney talked about doing a kickflip after the surgery Tony's reaction was all of us! So stoked to know he is back doing what he loves
I’m going in for a hip replacement next month so I listened to this very intently!
You should look into hip resurfacing
My hips are a bit past this!@@erino5528
I'm 48 and have become disabled by fibromyalgia and the resulting depression from not being able to do the things I used to. Or anything I enjoy anymore. So I can relate and I am truly happy you guys still are able to do what you love so much. You've been an inspiration to me for 40 years. Ever since I found my inner punk kid skater that I still hold dear today. Thank you legends! BTW my last girlfriend's mom, Mimi, told me she was your accountant for many years lol.
Awe man I love Rodney.... peace an love too all
This just made my week. Rodney might be my only idol in life, just the way he views life inspires me so much. I don't know if he'll ever see this, but man, thank you Rodney Mullen, for being such an icon and inspiration to me and so many others!
Another absolutely brillant episode. From basic physics to Jason helplessly entering complete amazed kid mode. Pure gold. Love you guys!
I live in Rodney's home town and I gotta say, he's left an impact. The skate culture here is so great and his first ever sponseres is the local skateshop for most of us here. It's crazy to think about my proximity to such a huge legend. Much love Tony And Wolf ❤
41yrs old now and grew up watching all 3 of them. But rodneys always been an inspiration and now just as the best skater ever, but a very smart, caring human being that seems to love unconditionally. Would love to hang out with the guy and just talk with him and listen to what he has to say.
Raccoons are so freaking cool
