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!
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
Wouldnt surprise me if it encouraged a million young skaters to pick up the board
Me too 💩 is amazing
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
Tomorrow marks my 1 year hip replacement and it's bombproof. Just waking up and not being in pain is the best thing ever!
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
Another absolutely brillant episode. From basic physics to Jason helplessly entering complete amazed kid mode. Pure gold. Love you guys!
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.
Beautiful people amazing athletes. Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen are a gift to earth. Amazing glad I found this channel. I’m only still young but remember Tony Hawk early 2000s changed my childhood. Rodney is so humble and kind vice versa love it!!! Need more.
❤️🙌
I could listen to Rodney talk all day. Love this dude. I never thought about it. But this guy couldn't even grind, decided to practice it for a few months, and then threw down the sickest grinds in skating history.
Tony and Rodney are the Rock and roll version of skate
This was incredible. Rodney Mullen is such a great human
Rodney is such an amazing kind dude as far as i can tell. Inspired me a lot as a kid skater.
LOVE this episode. Rodney Mullen is a national treasure. 💪🏼
I'm having the same reaction as Jason discovering Rodney's chaotic side. I love it.
Rodney finding healing brings me great joy...he has returned to his proper home!
love when we credit Marc Johnson. I hope MJ hears this.
Riser pads add pop to flat ground tricks. The nose of your boards goes higher into the air, and when you go to even out your Ollie it will end up higher. You also have to snap the pop a tad bit harder to actually get to the ground, so your pop will improve too. I don’t use riser pads anymore. But I keep it in mind and it’s why I avoid lower truck heights.
I’m 15 minutes in. I feel like I’m listening to a podcast in a language I don’t understand. This is so great.
Rodney and Andy would be a sick interview here
I paused this to go buy tickets to the NYC show. See you in April!
🙏🙏🙏
Hanging on for round 3
Rodney could do full podcasts on specific tricks and we would all listen.
Thank you skate Jesus I desperately needed this today
Thank you, guys. You have no idea how badly I needed this today. Love you guys.
Love ya back!
such a good episode, so hyped to have rodney's energy 💯
I still can't believe we live inside the Nick Mullen bit that is Tony Hawk reading a blue chew ad
Rodney’s Texas shirt is epic
i love the dynamic of the 3 talking. would also be cool to do 2 other segments of just tony talking to him, and one where only jason interviews him. they bring out different conversation out of rodney and plus.... we'd get more rodney
Rodney Mullen is the GOAT! And an amazing human being
When you have a destroyed hip it’s like a true miracle to get a hip replacement. Good for him because I love mine. I love seeing him stoked because in depression mode he looks miserable
"Straight outta Gainesville!" I'm rolling from that!
Underrated sponsorship read for Bluechew 🤣 CHUB UP!
There he is!
Would love to see Rodney push around with Andy Anderson at some point, just to see how they would interact and what they would talk about.
40:00 Rodney needing someone to tell him "this is your beginning" when a crowd of people watching a video of him _inventing the Casper slide_ -- when he had already invented an easy two dozen tricks before that moment -- is extremely humbling.
Best episode yet
there is no one in the world who exemplifies the term Humble King more than rodney the godfather mullen ❤
WE grew up in the ERA when you got arrested for skateboarding. Chased off by the police, it was underground, we listen to Bitchin' Camaro by the Butthole Surfers. My first board was a STEVE STEADHAM with BRIGHT ORANGE Gullwings.
rodney looks younger than both of them that's wild
Yo yall should really have a ep with Jumpstreet podcast fellas they are the rollerblader version of your podcast but I wanna squash the beef with boarders an bladers an I think if y’all all had a chat it would change the timeline dawgs !! I skateboard an blade both are beautiful
Rodney with the inspiration for the rave scene in Blade.
you three together are amazing!!!
This was such a fun and interesting interview
movin on up
Love all these shows but when Rodney's there, it feels like hanging out with friends.
This could have easily been 3 hours and kept my attention.
Rodney is something special.
I still skate the decks from the 80s. Good with 🏊
My rainy day just became Rodney day
Where is the video of the stage speaking event "Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen: Darkslides & Secret Tapes" at the Beacon in NYC or Austin City Limits???
Godfather of skateboarding
You guys should try practicing Tai Chi. I think it would help you a lot in mobility and against pain. It will take a long time though, similar to starting skateboarding.
Ty
What an awesome shit Rodney has on. Texas remembers Phillips!
Thank you Rodney ❤
gah, I love you guys!
A world without skateboarders and skateboarding would be a boring ass world.
What about the damn Gullwing dip!?! LOL 😂
Love y’all.
❤️
Wish I could've known these guys at their prime. Just a 94 baby.
you the man rodney!
I'm ready for round 3!
Jason is so bent but priceless. His childish, clueless adult standpoint is awesome. Dudes a real Big Kid. Never grow up boys. Front Crook their asses? Jason's gotta be on a few or was. Never seen him with The Speed Freaks Crew but he's definitely popped a few or slammed epically.
I had rip~grip on my Lester 1989"
Shoutout WHATABEEZY so cool
53:29 lol
The most relatable moment from Jason 50:21
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
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 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😂
@@nedesnikderpherder7529 shit I'd be happy with 3 minutes lol
@@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.
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 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 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
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!
We need Rodney more than ever. Not just as a skater but as a philosopher, leader and role model.
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. 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.
@@jasondashney that's so awesome that he remembered to mention that
Rodney Mullen podcast update. I'm here for it
33:34 this was the most genuine pure joy moment i’ve ever seen between Tony and Rodney. had me smiling the whole time
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.
Mkí ii@@sinthetikterror4944
The post surgery kickflip story got me stoked, let Rodney skate forever.
Favorite quote: “You land your first dark slide at 3am. Yeah, that’s on brand.” This interview is classic.
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
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.
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 ❤
@@jasonreimer9769 On behalf of the creators, thanks for watching and commenting.
@@jasonreimer9769You need a healthier out look brother.
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
Hell yeah, welcome back man, we missed you!! Get after it!!!
That's awesome. I hope you've had a chance to use 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
🥰
Bro I was up at 4am. I feel that 🫡
I think the blue chew ad was the best ad ever. Tony hawk being embarrassed talking about peckers is great stuff.
Hearing Rodney’s excitement about learning to kickflip again post surgery gave me chills.
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.
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
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.
You can read his autobiography titled “the mutt”. Came out like 15 years ago but still an amazing read
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.
Thank you Rodney for wearing a Jeff Phillips shirt. ❤
how do i get one of those shirts
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
Never too late fella get you a board and go have some fun!
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.
Never to late bro i know a guy thats 58 he shreds
For Sure, I Will Always Push Wood you are never too late well unless your like 99½ and your crippled up 😅
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 lost it at the Rodney Mullen blood sprinkler story 😂 outstanding! This interview was fantastic!
I can see South Park using that one 😂
I want it animated so bad
OMG Rodney’s stories... I love them so much.😂
the world needs a collection of Rodney Mullen Night skating dramas
Rodney's energy is so uplifting.
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!!
"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!
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!
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 the guy who asked that question, lol!! Thanks for remembering, Tony & Rodney!!!
Thank YOU 🙏 ❤️
Lets GO!! There goes any chance of going to sleep at 4 am now.
😂
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 🤙😂
