Most of the best in the sport want nothing in return but to show you how far they’ve come. They entertain and train at that level. But mostly watch them create. Rodney Mullen has some of the craziest sessions where Alex Midler gives his pure 100% focus to the gap, same way Nyjah perfect runs his competitions.

When I started skating (1987) Günter was always freestyling while we practised kickturns in the old halfpipe. Günter was always friendly and showed us how to do the tricks. I did a triple kickflip for the first time with Günter's board. That was back then in Berg Fidel at the skate park. Man, those were the days! Greetings from Münster!

Rodney is amazing and laid the path but is not the end all say all of freestyle, he will even say that himself. Open yourselves up to the many talented freestylers who are out there doing tricks never seen before or in competition, its next level these days. Lots of amazing legends too like the Fujji Brothers etc. World Freestyle event in Brandenburg Germany you will see many of them!
