- Im not sure what the show was...Kids one in the morning on the beeb i think. They Got Mullen on a crusty road doing his routine. He teaches a man in full pads to do a rail to wheels drop down..its epic...well it quite interesting...have a watch 1989 i think.
That reporter was so stoked when he almost landed that basic trick. That's skateboarding man. Love it.
What i would give to be able to go back n witness greatness like this. THAT right there, rodney mullen, is something the world needed. N there will never be another like him. Truly amazing. Its one of those things that cant be debated!
one of the few mullen videos i've yet to see. i read your comment before watching and i thought "he messed up a trick? that doesn't sound right", sure enough he doesn't miss a thing, that beefy rail flip could've been sketchy too. i'm not all that religious if at all but i'm pretty sure you can see god in those impossibles
That is absolutely true!
Wonder if he left reporting for the BBC to fulfil his skateboarding career 🤔😂
I was afraid that the reporter would bail 😅 Took a while for me to be able to stand in primo and have the courage to nudge the board back on wheels and land on it. Impressive ^^
mullen doesn’t ride a skateboard, he dances with it
Man, Rodney Mullens consistency is insane, he just did a bagilion tricks in 3,5 minutes and landed every one of them
On flat ground, no props, no gimmicks. Sadly, that's maybe 10% in his bag and probably forgotten enough to make another timed routine. I didn't see much of his older runs, 2 board stuff. His balance was like a robot.
Rodney has always been the most humble dude. He's probably still sitting in his house wondering how he got so famous doing tricks on a skateboard and thinking 'I can't believe they pay me this much'
Didn't bail once, Legend.
This was over 30 YEARS AGO. If Mullen was 23 years old right now, flatgrounding at this level, he'd still be among the absolute best.
he ain't among nothing is above anyone and everyone
if he was 23 now skateboarding would probably not be where it is right now. rodney created the foundations of almost every pop trick which is used today
@@ferdiemiddleton8910 Truth
@@ferdiemiddleton8910 While true it's worth noting there's often a misconception where people act like without the inventor of X we'd never have it. "If it weren't for Tesla (/edison) we'd have no lights!" No, we'd have lights. We'd just get them like a year later. Rodney invented an insane amount of shit and I'm certain skateboarding would be behind where it is today, but I'm also certain everything he invented would have been invented still by now, by other people. Just later and slower.
@@mooncalf_4534 i agree with that and i understand its a fine line, but who knows it could have been one month, or 10 years, we only know because mullen did invent the foundations, if he never skated who knows what skateboarding would look like today. i guess it is the butterfly effect in definition. i would like to think we would still be at this level today regardless of mullen but he was the one... who knows how many years till another human had the gumption to redefine/ define skateboarding physics, jumping,popping,sliding, etc, its a complete mystery and i think we are lucky to have mullen create these fundementals, imagine some hesh 2023 skater creating these fundementals its impossible to think about because it's an alternate reality aha
Man, Mullen was my idol as a kid in the early 2000s. For some reason I could never ollie, so I just did flatground like Rodney and used my hands to pull my board up. I might not have been able to kickflip, but I could hold a truckstand for longer than anyone I skated with, and was the only one who could casper spin. I miss those days.
The scary thing is, as good as he is on this video, he got better than this.
MUCH better.
Yea and idk how you get much better than this here. I just wonder how he can think of so many tricks. I know tricks are like endless to think of but it's like when you think he couldn't blow your mind anymore on the next trick because of all the ones you see he just did and yet he still thinks of one we haven't seen and that blows our minds. His creativeness and his balance on the board is like impeccable lol
@@taylormcgarry470 th-cam.com/video/olv1tqGmDdo/w-d-xo.html this is how you get better than here. Rodney's classic "virtual reality" part.
filmed outside the old BBC studios on Oxford Road in Manchester... damn I wish I could have been old enough to watch at the time
I remember watching this at the time and recording it on vhs then watching it to death, still got it somewhere. I think I was 9 or 10 and had never seen a skate video just skated with some locals who could do a few tricks so this blew my mind 🤯 so good.
I bet nobody in the world can replicate what you just witnessed him do as "easy" tricks for the camera..... He is a God on a skateboard.
1:28 the guy getting bashed in the background
Damn well spotted
how can you not love rodney! hes such a chill guy who basically invented skateboarding tricks, the double fingerflip was imsane too!
Totally expected the reporter to be a middle aged dude in a suit by the sound of his voice. Lol
"that's strange for me, being a star or whatever." Lol
This had to of been right at the end of the 80's. Rodney had a distinct pattern of tricks he would do at shows and there's ones here I've never seen because right after the 80's this form of skateboard trick competition virtually vanished in favor of street skating....by street skating I'm not talking about what he's doing here. It's more tricks done while riding like grinds on rails etc. This was clearly just before he switched to regular street skating for videos....his dress style radically changed as well. It's honestly bizarre how a mere turn of a decade can have such drastic changes in everything! Thanks for posting this video!
I must have missed the improved skateboard “suspension”.
Wow! Rodney Mullen in Manchester! 🤯
Whoever wrote that title “PAUSE” 😂😂
those kids in the back are probably like,
Bloody hell! I’m absolutely chuffed to be skating next to the Ledge Rodney with my mates!
ON THE WHAT
What the on?
british broadcasting corporation
Wtf ?! The Eighth wonder of the world!
What a legend. So many tricks just one after another😂Best skater
Ayo
He's like two different people in front of a mic and on the board
What a fucking master... at age 23
HE IS JUST INSANE! JUST ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLY INSANE ON A SKATEBOARD AND HES THE NICEST GUY. the true champion
I can’t imagine what that must have looked like to people back then. Sheesh. Prob like someone today sprouting wings and flying in circles now. Ha
Wow, I didn't know Converse used the "Cons" name all the way back then!
I love seeing him do his halfcab nosehook impossible, it has to be his signature trick. Like hosois Christ air, cabs backside boneless, or McGills mctwist.
Theres no suspension on the skateboard. Lol wow..too funny..does it have shocks ? Lol his comments at the start...
The man basically never fell. Lol
BBC Video Part Achievement Unlocked
Rodney Mullen is without a doubt the godfather of street skating
This is from 1989…he was 23 then …he’s 57 now..
Rodney has the Con Fastbreaks on.
Always had some of the coolest tricks and lines. Would love to see a new skate video from him but i respect if its hard to skate like that at his age now
2:21 actually kinda rare to see Rodney do an M-80
He should have really shown off and done a kickflip.
Bad filming back them hahahahahahaa 😂
Rodney Mullen is untouchable. The best.
Doesn't matter what happens. Rodney Mullen is my favourite skater of all time.
the music, though...LOL
Wheres the rest? He was about to eat sh!t!😂
does he really need those pads? :)
Legend
Excellent! Hahaa
Fkn legend
Manchester BBC Oxford Road!.. I used to skate there early 90's.. ❤
There's a style of trick in there, 2:20 that is a variant of something no one really does anymore with the lateral flips. They weren't high diff but when installed right with a zero effort look are extra cheese. But Rodney here, takes the old trick, added to it, squared it and made it out of reach for most mortal humans 😂 He was the kind of guy who was so nice, so smooth, made you want to go burn your board. Kind of like Eddie VH made you want to sell your guitar HAHA! Cool times for sure.
I can see this was a transitional time, it had a double kick. Rodney did this stuff on a flat board with single tail when he was 14-15? He was a phenom and the standard for flat a long time.
Noo! Why does it end there?!
yt ads are outta control
Booo... Pesky ads.. The channel isn't monatised but that doesn't stop yt
Suspension lol
i like how they conducted the interview. good questions and all
I remember this & him being on ‘This Morning’ around the same time
Good that they got the skateboard suspension sorted
My favourite board ever Rocco bear and Rodney mutt they need to make them like that again 🛹
Omg!!! Thps2 good times
True Legend for Real!
Walking the dog
amazing
og...yes!
Those shoes look like Converse
Pretty sure they are Converse Weapons, endorsed by Larry Bird and Magic Johnson
@@znmckague yes, they are! Skaters back then used high top Basketball Sneakers made of full grain leather
It cut, i bet he was going to fall on his face just then lol
Rodney Mullen on the what now? 😳
he wasn't wearing a mask? what a rebel!
What? Why would he wear a mask?
@@Obiwannabe SARS-CoV-2
@ArnoM86 it was 30 years ago . . . 🤦🏼♂️
This was the late 80’s
youll be lucky if u land one or two of those tricks once in your entire life, they are hard as fuck
Woulda been cool to see Rodney do a slappy which I doubt he’s ever done idk
Smooth lines with ease. *sigh* I can only dream of doing such things.
Camera man didn't have a fucking clue what to do 😂
