Classic video footage! Rodney was a inspiration to me at a young age and unintentionally became a inspiration to millions of people. Rodney is a guy that skated for himself because it was a outlet. It was a tool or art form to express himself. That's what skating is about.
I love when Rodney throws his hands up because he is so happy he nailed it for everyone I know he hated everytime he fell or didn't land a trick but u would never no it though thats how classy he is,one of kind very special and special to the skateboarding that's for sure
Just watched a clip from ‘88 where he barely got off the ground doing the handstand, and here he is a year later and he’s already putting flair on it. Crazy talent and innovation. What a contribution to both performance arts and sports Rodney has provided
soooooo TECH and CONSISTENT to the absolute extreme, like wow, my mind is blown... even tho the style is 80's to the max, there is no doubting his talent and im envious as hell. haha damn, my ankles are killing just watching this.
it's really easy to see that he is without doubt the best at what he does. The Original is always better, for him having to invent so many tricks...EPIC!
Wow this is amazing! I've never seen this! I wonder what japan was thinking :P Like WTF IS THIS GUY DOING? lol YOu can tell mullen is in his own world without a care in the world except is feet and his skateboard :)
@03998427 Why are you saying that? You ripped this from the youtube channel of airwalktwisted who ownes this footage. Everything from your channel is ripped.
The personification of skateboarding is Rodney's fingertips. That's weird. Stommmppppppprrrr. Christ flat ollie 6:00..... hahahhaa that is ammmmmmmmmmmmazing. RM is a Japanese orgasm. Love it
He's light years ahead of everyone else.
Still to this day
