not truth... Andy Anderson is a pro sure and nice tricks... but if you are looking to see this Alexander Level... don't look for Andy.... B P dont click bait that's wrong....
@Bob Dobalina nobody has reached Mullen's level of skill with a skateboard and nobody probably ever will all the tricks these pro skaters do in this era is based off what Mullen invented.
I know lol. I meant watching the video somewhere in the world. Usually if it meant the person is deceased the the phrase is, "he's watching down/or from above and smiling"
Sick skills. But nothing that hasn’t been done before. That’s why you can’t have a next Rodney Mullen. The guy basically invented skateboarding as we know it.
It's crazy when you've seen all of Rodney's skate videos and watched this video and you realize that his greatness is basically untouchable, like it's already safe.
I like to think of him as his own skater rather than making him live in the shadow of a man whose inventiveness and general contribution to the art will never be topped, but regardless of context, Alex is incredible and a super nice, humble guy.
This was 5 years ago, i could only imagine how much hes improved. Not that he needed any improvement just sayin though. This stuff takes a lot of practice and patience and frustration, good for him. In life im sure youll be just fine.
Flynn Swagmire from the way Rodney speaks about how he always wanted to innovate and just do what he does and then plant the seed in the community and watch kids take it to where he couldn't imagine once he got older I think that's what this kid is doing right now and I think he would smile if he saw this video
That's right tho, also Rodney's Manual looks balancing but this guy looks difficult..but I can respect this guy because he can do such a great things ;)
Mullen is Mullen, comparing any other skater to him is kinda unfair, coz nobody is gonna compare. Plus, lots of Mullen clips are in slo-mo, so we can see what he does, he flips the board so fast, Slo-mo is the only real way to see whatever fucking insane thing he just did with his board. (Plus, he almost never showed any bail videos. I can only remember 2 clips that showed him no making a trick. 1 with that dog in Globe - Opinion, and at the end of Rodney vs Daewon Round 2.) At normal video speed Mullen doesn't make it look that effortless, coz guess what, that shit ain't easy.
Well the Mullen videos were heavily edited too. In the TH-cam era, it's ok if you fail, at least in skating. Back then you'd see videos with perfect tricks. This guy here shows us pretty much everything, including sketchy tricks. I like it.
OMG this kid is amazing. I love the old school nods too, the Natas spin, and slashing grass, hell yeah! Someone has to be controlling this kid with a PS controller.
There is no such thing as the next Rodney Mullen . Rodney Mullen was such amazing bizzare crazy skater , that change everything for skateboarding of every trick he did that made skateboarding what is today there can only be one Rodney Mullen because he changes everything to the skate board world making him unique . But I got to say this kid is amazing and tech , keep up the good work , I want to see more.
+jalopez529 y dont forget mike vallely for coming out with the barnyard dual tail deck..yet another milestone in the evolution of skating as we know it
+tasteegold77 It was Rodney that designed the barnyard deck . But as i remember Vision had a deck called double Vision that where out before Barnyard. Anyway Mike Vallely is up there With Rodney when it comes to contributing to skating in my eyes He `s not the Amazing Gyroscope man as Rodney is but his agressive creative style is in a way the opposite polarity of Rodney`s gracefull technicality. Only Rodney Is Rodney A Legend and legends live forever so there`will be no need for a new one.
that was amazing! great to see the different rodney mullen type style instead of the more mainstream skating style, way more interesting to watch, and the jeresey and hat thing was clever
Damn son this reminds me of when i used to dream i was skating and could actually land these kinda tricks, mad props kid keep doin it for all is older guys who had to step off the board
Guy is definitely good. The trick at 1:50 is probably my favorite. On the other hand, the whole landing cross legged or pretzel style thing he does a lot of; I know it adds a level of difficulty, but it just doesn't look that cool to me at all. Rodney also just has this crispness and flow to his style that I've never seen replicated. Oh and all the tricks he invented.
Nobody can ever be the next Rodney. He was the most original one of a kind person on n off a skateboard and everyone who tries to skate like him is just an imposter...with the exception of Jonny Giger of course because if anyone has as big a bag of tricks as rodney its jonny!!!
Comments full of "he's just a copycat...not original" ridiculousness. You fools know that Mullen himself would be over the fuckin' moon to see what we just saw, right? And he'd be flattered, too. Shit, the kid is even sketchy in the same way Mullen is. The chaotic arm flailing is strong with him! :) Awesome video, dude! \m/ \m/
you have to emulate your idols... there's going to be some residue but this kid doesn't copy mullen he has his own style... yeah you do see a little bit of mullen in there but this guy is so good it will just morph into his own and you will see some mullen and that's natural.
and also does that mean any fucking trick that anyone does is "copycat" any kickflip any ollie any tre...is that a copy and who is it a copy of the creator of the trick or another skater? fuckin ridiculous. this kids a great skater. period. any dumbfuck who says otherwise is beyond ignorant
If you can pull of the same tricks as Rodney your an amazing skater. If your doing it at a young age your one to watch out for in the future. This kid is both. Someone will come along that takes skating to a new level. This kid could be on his way to doing just that. When I compare him to Rodney I feel he still has a ways to go.
+Mark McCulloch good opinion on that one. watch out for his upcoming part. it's gonna be game changing. This trick just took him like 1-30 trys and we recorded the whole thing in 4 days. Imagine the potential of 2 years filming and more tries.
Jonny Giger I hear ya!!! He has time on his side! I remember seeing a dark side grind for the first time and going nuts over such a trick! I've been sk8ting a long time. Lol I see so much potential in this young man. My eye is on him and the next level of sk8ting is his for the taking if he puts in the work as Rodney has. One out of 30 tries is omg sick for such tricks. For Rodney its like walking at this point in his life at his age, after all the time practicing. Again your boy is on his way. Rodney open a door for skaters like this to walk through and then elevate to a new level. Tell your boy he has a fan of his skating and to keep on keeping on with the path he is on! Possible that in time there will be no comparison at all with Rodney instead we will compare others to him!? Really push him cause I can see from this video he can take it there!
For sure some of the most technical fliptricks and manuals I've seen in years. Keep it up, in a few years you'll be doing them as smoothly and elegantly as Rodney
there will never be another Rodney Mullen. No matter how good this kid gets, and he is already amazing, you cant ever be put on the same level as the guy who invented most of the tricks we all do. not only that he does them all perfectly. hell, a shit ton of tricks he did perfectly 20 years ago nobody does sketchy today.
Plus he had freestyle behind him for so many years. That’s why Rodney was so different. He merged his freestyle, style, with Street. That’s why his board tricks were so unbelievably different and progressive
Check out Kilian Martin if you want to see some inspiring skating. Very old school. He's got caspers, truckstands, wraparounds, and even handstand flips!
I gotta say two things. 1. Rodney was and always will be mind blowing. He did stuff that had never been done before. That's the hardest thing; once it's been done, recreating it is much easier. RM will go down as best skater ever. 2. This kid is a f-ing BOSS! Sick skating for sure!
Everyone is taking this way too literally. No shit he's not an exact copy of Rodney Mullen. No shit he didn't thrive in the 80s and invent his own flatground tricks. Do I also have to explain that this kid is not 49 years old like a "real" Rodney Mullen would be. Seriously, yall need to take your Rodney Mullen enjoi boards out of your butt holes and realize that this kid's style is pretty much like Rodney's which is rare and refreshing in today's world of skateboarding.
Throwing out titles like that only pisses people off. Alex looks like a humble guy and probably agrees that it's doing more harm than good. Just let him be who he is and don't oversell it. He's young, don't put him under the spotlight too soon. Just keep showing what he does, people will be amazed enough by the content, there's no need for hyperbolic titles.
DUDE!!! You are re-inventing skateboarding. Your agility is inasane and your pops and kicks are flawless. I know this take hundreds of tries (as I used to skate too in the 80's and 90's) but I see insane skill. Incredible job. Keep up the commitment. 👍😃👍
+Jonny Giger My main argument was that even though this kid is decent at flip tricks and manuals, he'll never be the next Mullen. Mullen is a literal genius (borderline autistic) and revolutionized street skating for all of us. This kid isn't revolutionizing anything; he's only doing something that's already been done. I understand that the title of the video is for marketing purposes- increased views, etc.. but's its extremely inaccurate. Either way, the only thing that matters is this kid is having and doing what he loves.
Joshua Liebscher haha then you should better brace yourself for his new street part it's nbd only. alex has landed more tricks then any other human being i know and i also know some pros. he's the human who gets closest to rodney mullen.
Somewhere in this world i am watching this and i am completely jealous of his skate talent but wont give him shit because he also serves as inspiration and deserves mad respect
+Jon Peroutka Well, we here in the Olympics believe skateboarding would make an excellent edition to our series of sports we have, getting started is easy, first we have the contestants submit to a simple urinalysis test aaand its gone.
Your making a name for yourself bro that's so awesome great control! Your on my list of top 10 bro! With Rodney Mullen but not Rodney you got your own flare and I love it!
He’s a fine skater but let’s be clear, there is and will always be only one Rodney Mullen. Rodney is in a class all his own for a multitude of reasons.
Without Mullen’s influence, this kid would never have thought to attempt this. Being an emulator is much easier than being a creator. But still, props to this guy
To be the next Rodney you need to not only be able to do his later years street tricks but also his 80's+90's flatground tricks like one hand stand to primo to 360 flip.
You can't dismiss him on that basis. You are overlooking the obvious fact that Rodney Mullen methodologically went through every possible flip and spin combination that can be done in the 1 flip regime. Therefore, every trick that will ever be done is some variation of his basic set of tricks. Rodney Mullen invented the prime numbers of skateboarding... that takes nothing away from this new guy's ability to use and combine them.
Dont you think we low this? It's like an hommage, the kid is unbelievable why always negativity? What do you do that is so great and original yourself?
my knees won't let me keep up the mojo from 20 years ago, but nice to see kids still getting down in the streets. I like the technical stuff more than the big air x-games type. thanks for sharing
It's like this: the kid is good, but he is more an imitator, not an innovator. It's a lame cliche to state there will never be another Rodney Mullen. Sure there will be. He just needs to be a hell of a lot better and more innovative than this dude. Rodney made his own rules and followed his own star. He wasn't sitting there copying others. He couldn't anyway. Skating was much different back then. But the next Rodney Mullen is going to take skating to a whole new level, just like Rodney did back in his day. He won't be an imitator. He won't be copying other styles or tricks. He'll be inventing his own and changing skating forever. So yes, there will be another Rodney Mullen, sooner or later. It's just not this kid. Simple.
Out of all those ridiculous and downgrading "He can never reach Mullen, he's umtouchable." comments I've seen so far yours is the worst. Why do people downgrade him so much? Idc how good Mullen is or how much he invented modern skateboarding, this Alex dude deserves respect!
Dude, I've been to that place @0:32 in Vaasa, Finland. There were a bunch of skaters, most of them little kids but they were pulling of some amazing tricks. Met a cool dude that took us to a skate park that he and his friends built themselves that was X-games tier.
In terms of the style of tricks and overall flatground dominance? Yes. But Rodney was a beautiful human being for other reasons that no one can replicate. Let Alex be Alex in his own way!
Wow man. Your board control is excellent and your trick selection is so sick. But, you put something on tube, youre gonna get criticism... but Im calling this constructive criticism... its like the godfather Phelper says, "it aint always about the tricks you do... its how you do 'em" work on your style and your trick selection would be unmatched. So sick dude!!! Keep it up.
Why be next Rodney Mullen when you can be the first Alexander Rademaker
Well said homie
Word.
True that.
Check out Andy Anderson on NKA as well. Insane just like Alexander
not truth... Andy Anderson is a pro sure and nice tricks... but if you are looking to see this Alexander Level... don't look for Andy.... B P dont click bait that's wrong....
The next level of Rodney Mullen
Rodney is untouchable end of story, but this kid has some mad skills
Yup
*Matt Tomasello has entered the chat*
ArianOriginal21 I’d probably go with Mullenboarding
Mista@Bob Dobalina , won't you quit?
@Bob Dobalina nobody has reached Mullen's level of skill with a skateboard and nobody probably ever will all the tricks these pro skaters do in this era is based off what Mullen invented.
This dude literally knows the "perfect balance" cheat code.
I Love the Sound of Skateboarding.
somewhere rodney is watching this and smiling 😁😃☺😃
Yup
That man is always smiling
He’s not dead
I know lol. I meant watching the video somewhere in the world. Usually if it meant the person is deceased the the phrase is, "he's watching down/or from above and smiling"
@@masana_ 😂😂😂
He needs those super baggy pants though.
That's what I was saying, his pants aren't baggy enough
@nigling nigga they saying they need to be more baggy you wannabe alpha
And he needs some weird arms mouvement
That's 90s rodney. Go 80s rodney all neon
Kyle no that’s current skateboarding get baggy pants and some fucking awesome and you’re trendy
Sick skills. But nothing that hasn’t been done before. That’s why you can’t have a next Rodney Mullen. The guy basically invented skateboarding as we know it.
Exactly!!!, end of discussion
Check out matt tomasello
Show me someone else who does that trick at 1:33
and rodney develop the deck we are using rn
Thank you. Was just about to comment this😒
It's crazy when you've seen all of Rodney's skate videos and watched this video and you realize that his greatness is basically untouchable, like it's already safe.
It's like it kills people to be positive or compliment someone
Gotta invent a few hundred more tricks to be the next Mullen
Like the ollie
Mullen is the Einstein of skateboarding. ollie : skateboarding :: E=MC^2 : physics
***** He did invent the flat ground ollie and every other household name skater attributes things like the ollie, kickflip etc. to Mullen.
Alistair Cross word up.
I think I just made tony alva into isaac newton
We live in a connected society with TH-cam as an epic platform. I want to see a Rodney Mullen and Alexander Rademaker skating together!
Make it happen guys!
Great idea.
Rodney Mullen is Rodney Mullen. Be the next you.
Exactly. People trying to make it a Mullin vs. some up and comer type thing.
Remember linking tricks on tony hawk? Dude does it for real.
Pepe is your friend combo game strong!
He gets a new high score by just looking at the board when it knows it is in for some crazy stuff.
Lenny Leonardson..... Wanted to say.... I did this regularly on Hawk 3, 4 and underground
Lmao I always loved getting special then doing a triple heel flip
CH CH! CH CH! CH CH!
I like to think of him as his own skater rather than making him live in the shadow of a man whose inventiveness and general contribution to the art will never be topped, but regardless of context, Alex is incredible and a super nice, humble guy.
This was 5 years ago, i could only imagine how much hes improved. Not that he needed any improvement just sayin though. This stuff takes a lot of practice and patience and frustration, good for him. In life im sure youll be just fine.

Mullen makes it look effortless, this guy makes it look difficult.
That's right tho, also Rodney's Manual looks balancing but this guy looks difficult..but I can respect this guy because he can do such a great things ;)

When it comes to Street skating Natas Kaupas and Marc Gonzales contribution is huge . Natas had super cool style he was street skating back late 80`s
that was amazing! great to see the different rodney mullen type style instead of the more mainstream skating style, way more interesting to watch, and the jeresey and hat thing was clever
impressive but there will never be another rodney mullen
Exactly
I think rodney would be full of joy if he saw this kid skating
There cant be another rodney mullen of skateboarding
And we will never need more than 64K of RAM...

I don't love that part though.

+Jonny Giger it's good but he keeps trying to fly with his arms when he does tricks

I'd be surprised if mullen hasn't seen this seeing how much love he has for skateboarding and othe skaters
you have to emulate your idols... there's going to be some residue but this kid doesn't copy mullen he has his own style... yeah you do see a little bit of mullen in there but this guy is so good it will just morph into his own and you will see some mullen and that's natural.

@Aloysius ur pathetic
The new 2016 Alex Rademaker vs Jason Park - Round 1
I would love to see Rodney Mullen vs Jonny Giger game of Skate.
His ballerina landings are on point . Late tre flips too. But that ballerina stair ride looks so damn natural.love it guy .dnt ever stop.
The only reason anyone disliked this video is because they are offended by the title of the video. The kid has talent for sure.
If you can pull of the same tricks as Rodney your an amazing skater. If your doing it at a young age your one to watch out for in the future. This kid is both.

No matter how good this kid gets, and he is already amazing, you cant ever be put on the same level as the guy who invented most of the tricks we all do. not only that he does them all perfectly. hell, a shit ton of tricks he did perfectly 20 years ago nobody does sketchy today.
Amen to that, this kids good no doubt, but Rodney is still on a whole other level.
Back in the day their were legends that will be hard to replace like Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk,Danny WayMike McGill ,etc.
there are a few tricks mullen still does today than only he can land
Plus he had freestyle behind him for so many years. That’s why Rodney was so different. He merged his freestyle, style, with Street. That’s why his board tricks were so unbelievably different and progressive
whatfreedom7
Don't forget Christian Hosoi
1:37 Ive done this in tony hawk games made for some big combos and points lol
Lol I can just imagine the combo sound effect
That cross footed heelflip would make pros cry in a game of skate... lol
totally love that dude but i dont really like that title
+DissolvingTime gotta do what you gotta do
Check out Kilian Martin if you want to see some inspiring skating. Very old school. He's got caspers, truckstands, wraparounds, and even handstand flips!
I gotta say two things.

Right On!!! This kid is sick. Hands down. Great skating brother.
NOT THE NEXT RODNEY MULLEN. But he's pretty good at tricks that Mullen created/pioneered
Throwing out titles like that only pisses people off. Alex looks like a humble guy and probably agrees that it's doing more harm than good. Just let him be who he is and don't oversell it. He's young, don't put him under the spotlight too soon. Just keep showing what he does, people will be amazed enough by the content, there's no need for hyperbolic titles.
I Think an easier way to put it is by saying there no need for the click bait lol
Yes there is, he needs to get noticed in order to make a living out of skate.
Live to skate, don't skate to live, do skate to feel alive. That applies to everything in life
I think the title suited, at first I was thinking hell no, but not after watching the vid.
I’ve been out of the skating game for a long time, but every now and again I will find some mind blowing skate videos. Stunning stuff
Sick, yes. Next Mullen? No. Never.
No casperSlide no mullen.
But not bad" need a special one trick.
And spinning around really fast on one wheel for like 10 seconds.
@@CoasterCrazyy yea right like that's humanly possible. Leave that to the god.

DUDE!!! You are re-inventing skateboarding. Your agility is inasane and your pops and kicks are flawless. I know this take hundreds of tries (as I used to skate too in the 80's and 90's) but I see insane skill. Incredible job. Keep up the commitment.
👍😃👍
Mullen invented all these tricks.. so yes, that would mean he's a copier. No disrepect, he's still a talented kid and all.
+Joshua Liebscher well than everybody is copying mullen nowadays
Not technically. This kid specifically combines freestyle with street skating. A vert skater would not be considered copying Mullen.
i mean every street skater. But alex style is almost same as rodneys... but that wasn't alex's purpose i guess, it's just the way he rides.
+Jonny Giger My main argument was that even though this kid is decent at flip tricks and manuals, he'll never be the next Mullen. Mullen is a literal genius (borderline autistic) and revolutionized street skating for all of us. This kid isn't revolutionizing anything; he's only doing something that's already been done.

1:21 what the fuckin fuck fark
shomonercy looks like a front side nollie impossible late flip.
I think this is the best I've seen since Mullen. If anyone's aware of anyone who's better, lemme know.
Andy Anderson is really good
You might be right.
ooooh, he's got some Danny Gonzales moves too ! The wallkick flip tricks, the manual to pushing a wall to doing a manual in the other direction....
Amazing but the clip at 1:43 lol. It that a joke Xd
Naw the spin cycle is legit!!! :p
Looks like he's having fun. Good for him
good for him
Your making a name for yourself bro that's so awesome great control! Your on my list of top 10 bro! With Rodney Mullen but not Rodney you got your own flare and I love it!
I just watched a whole lot of what, followed by the fuck, ended by is going on. That was crazy
Oh hai Mark!
Take off PERFECT BALANCE cheat code lol
Some great modern flatland/street skating footage!
Hes the kobe to rodneys jordan.
wtf was that at 1:20? 😯
thx same here!! wtf 540 wtf underflip?
I think it's a fakie fs bigspin-flip underflip. Just a guess though :P
i just wanna see a replay of it then im fine xD this dude is sick tho
something reeeaal Dope az Hell!!
RIP replay button
Get this killer on Braille. A game of skate versus the whole team would be sick!
But can he Ollie???
....and the darkslide???
Man, I saw him skate the first seconds and tought of Rodney. Same style...amazing!
flatland is so goddamn beautiful.
yeah but it takes a lot of hard work to look decent
He’s a fine skater but let’s be clear, there is and will always be only one Rodney Mullen. Rodney is in a class all his own for a multitude of reasons.
Excellent, you're incredible bro! as somebody has already written you're the first Alex Rademaker!
This was fucking crazy!
Without Mullen’s influence, this kid would never have thought to attempt this. Being an emulator is much easier than being a creator. But still, props to this guy
Being a critic is much easier than being an emulator.
To be the next Rodney you need to not only be able to do his later years street tricks but also his 80's+90's flatground tricks like one hand stand to primo to 360 flip.
The next Rodney Mullen? What a joke. These tricks have been standard for years now... You know, after Rodney Mullen actually invented them.
You can't dismiss him on that basis. You are overlooking the obvious fact that Rodney Mullen methodologically went through every possible flip and spin combination that can be done in the 1 flip regime. Therefore, every trick that will ever be done is some variation of his basic set of tricks. Rodney Mullen invented the prime numbers of skateboarding... that takes nothing away from this new guy's ability to use and combine them.
Flip Daze This guy is sloppy. He's good but he's not the "new Rodney Mullen".
+Ulfhedn4r - Chiptune Musician You cant judge someone who exeeds your skill level. You probably dont even understand half of the tricks he does.
LMAO this guy actually said this stuff is standard.
haha thats just ridiculous
He might be able to copy Rodney. Dont forget Rodney INVENTED all those tricks. I dont see a single new trick in this video...
exactly
Dont you think we low this? It's like an hommage, the kid is unbelievable why always negativity? What do you do that is so great and original yourself?
Can i see any of your new tricks?

All I've been watching for the last month is you and giger!
Good but change the video title please.
No. Go fuck yourself.
You're welcome.
So good! I definitely see the Rodney comparison.
Absolutely dope lines and combos I’ve never even seen in 30 years of skating!
Absolutely awesome video dude 👍🏻
Not the next Rodney Mullen, but he has a lot of potential. Great things are coming his way.
This guy reminds me of Richie Jackson
my knees won't let me keep up the mojo from 20 years ago, but nice to see kids still getting down in the streets. I like the technical stuff more than the big air x-games type. thanks for sharing
It's like this: the kid is good, but he is more an imitator, not an innovator. It's a lame cliche to state there will never be another Rodney Mullen. Sure there will be. He just needs to be a hell of a lot better and more innovative than this dude. Rodney made his own rules and followed his own star. He wasn't sitting there copying others. He couldn't anyway. Skating was much different back then. But the next Rodney Mullen is going to take skating to a whole new level, just like Rodney did back in his day. He won't be an imitator. He won't be copying other styles or tricks. He'll be inventing his own and changing skating forever. So yes, there will be another Rodney Mullen, sooner or later. It's just not this kid. Simple.
He's pretty good, but a few decades away from Rodney! He still has to eat some broth with his fork!
Out of all those ridiculous and downgrading "He can never reach Mullen, he's umtouchable." comments I've seen so far yours is the worst.
Why do people downgrade him so much?
Idc how good Mullen is or how much he invented modern skateboarding, this Alex dude deserves respect!
@@SSJ2Pikachu He's not disrespecting him, he's telling the truth. He's not as good or near as good as Rodney and that's just a fact
Dude, I've been to that place @0:32 in Vaasa, Finland. There were a bunch of skaters, most of them little kids but they were pulling of some amazing tricks. Met a cool dude that took us to a skate park that he and his friends built themselves that was X-games tier.
In terms of the style of tricks and overall flatground dominance? Yes. But Rodney was a beautiful human being for other reasons that no one can replicate. Let Alex be Alex in his own way!
needs more cargo pants
Lmao
Mad respect this is my favorite style of skateboarding
Wow man. Your board control is excellent and your trick selection is so sick. But, you put something on tube, youre gonna get criticism... but Im calling this constructive criticism... its like the godfather Phelper says, "it aint always about the tricks you do... its how you do 'em" work on your style and your trick selection would be unmatched. So sick dude!!! Keep it up.
Please primo-slide a rail.
+morgengabe1 im still waiting for that footage to happen one of these days.
That he's doing it in my old cargo shorts from 2002 makes this even more impressive.
he has to do the variable heel underflip then I'll say he is the next Rodney Mullen
Beautiful, but he can't be "next Rodney Mullen". Why? Because Rodney INVENT ALL OF THIS. He is the one and always will be :)
Ujdul Ujdaae I thought the same!
One thing that bothers me is how his manuals seems to slow down significantly. Running on older / dirty bearings?? Still very sick combos though!
The attribute that makes Mullen so amazing is that he invented all the tricks he did. This guy is good though.
