no one tries it in a serious manner. You need to dedicate yourself to the craft to do what Mullen was doing. I am 37, and started skating at 34.... and Ive come SO fuckin far, yet, I THINK I will never see myself do the things Mullen was doing...nonetheless...It feels like the only thing pushing me towards is my maturity and how ive learned to trust myself for learning new things. The fact Mullen did these things at such a young age... sooo early in the skateboarding timeline is.... mind boggling.....many people talk bout Rodney, but I dont feel they really understand whats at stake when it comes to what he has done for his time. lack of dedication is mostly how our current generation acts towards progressing in their respective crafts.

The thing about Rodney Mullen is that the way he did flip tricks was mesmerizing. So deliberate like he was floating above the board and he could control it with his mind. No slow motion needed to see what he did. As well as his portfolio of tricks being impossible to duplicate, nobody will ever be as graceful as he was a street skater.

I don't think I ever really realized how rare primo slides, casper slides, or underflips are until I started watching this series. It's true you really don't see anyone other than Mullen (and maybe on the rare occasion other guys like Haslam) do these tricks. Especially the primo/casper slides.

newpa1n I landed a primo slide and it was super tough! And after hours and hours when I finally landed it, it was sketchy as hell, and I think that's the reason not a lot of ppl do it, It's hard to do a sketchy primo slide, let alone landing it clean!

This was the most iconic skate video of all time to me from 99 and that nollie flip front door under flip is one of the reasons I started taking skating so seriously and even though I took a 13 year break from it I’m back at it again now for another 2 years straight and I love it more then ever and that video was one of the main reasons i went so hard in the paint 🎨 amazing Rodney part. The under flip combinations were so amazing to me and so visually appealing 🤌🏽😎

I think this is the coolest looking trick out there and my goal is to land this trick in less than 2 years... lol. I also Have learned everything I know from your channel so far.

The Nollie flip underflip from 99 that you showed at 1:32 Rodney actually does the underflip with his front foot, flicking with his right and underflipping with his left, not sure if anyone pointed that out already but I’m pretty sure the way you did it would be harder cause you had to get back under it after flicking. Absolutely amazing job on this trick though any late/underflip trick takes serious energy and control I only wish I had better words to convey my appreciation for your talent over the years Iv been watching, well done Johnny 🙌🏻

It's a high poped "donkey foot" (kicking straight down) kickflip, and you pull your foot straight back up after the first full rotation/flip. When you pull your foot straight back up you catch the bottom of the board to rotate/flip it back the other way. High and quick. Kick almost straight down and pull almost straight up.

So I love this because I've had the same exact thing happen to me. Not only with skateboarding but on guitar too. I think what happens is all of the practice is getting the muscle memory down but you end up tiring yourself out too much for the muscles to do the skill you've been refining and once you take a break your muscles are less tired and boom it happens. I've practiced something on guitar for hours and couldn't get it and the next morning I play it first try. Crazy.
