I am absolutely loving this freaking series. I’ve added this to my list of daily videos from my channels :)

[@Sewiscythe]

Best series in the history of youtubes

[@slicktricks_takethat6901]

Same here dude👌🔥🔥

[@JonnyGiger]

thank you sir! :)

[@Weedmate420]

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.

[@Odazet]

its mind blowing that almost no one can do tricks mullen did 20 years ago lol

[@r00kiet80]

Jeah the amount of skill he has makes me sick everytime i skate lol

[@NekoinValhalla]

That's what makes you the uncontested king of a discipline. Pulling shit that still no one else can achieve decades later.

[@JonnyGiger]

true!

[@cccpkingu]

_mullen_

[@omnirhythm]

You might like Olli Fevang, not saying he's the new Rodney but the kid's pretty damn technical and has fresh stuff.

[@davidday9967]

The mental way he describes the process of this trick makes me think of the interviews I've seen with Rodney. He sees it on a whole other level I feel like haha. And seeing that difficulty played out in this video makes it even better. Can't wait for the next one

[@PHeMoX]

I love how these 'modern baggy pants' still look like skinny pants compared to the 90s pants I used to own. I kind of miss those pants to be honest, so comfy.

[@CDM10000]

I'd occasionally come to your channel watch a few videos then go away but this series made me sub. Awesome dude

[@JonnyGiger]

thanks man! it's super fun to make these, and landing the tricks sooo satisfieing :)

[@RyanBracken]

That Stache is looking strong 👌🏻

[@johntrueblue]

Im 53 and use to be a street free styler, so loved rodney and his tricks but it was one person i could not emulate. Seeing you pulling of these trick after so many attempts makes me want too go out buy a board and break my neck...lol Well done mate.

[@simplicissimus9822]

Does anybody know Rodney Mullen personally ;), so he can LINK him those incredible "impossible tricks of rodney mullen"-series Jonny is doing here???? Jonny rides with so much passion and effort. I bet Rodney, as far as i got to know him from his videos and interviews, would love this so freaking much!!!! big thx @ Jonny for this series!!!!

[@Jhonnny1987]

I wish Rodney would see this too :)

[@JankeyCreator]

Thanks for making these videos. I was a wee babe skating in the early 90's and Rodney was one of my heroes. It's great to see that he was so innovative that his tricks are still so hard to replicate. I generally appreciate Jason Park, Daewon and Jaws more than anyone but you are quickly becoming one of my favorites!

[@wombatonsteroids]

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.

[@fr4nkm434]

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!

[@Di-Mi-TRi]

your way to skate depends on how u see the world , and how you think , your knowledge ect.. like everything else, music , art ... rodney is a genius, he got a special way to see the world. if ur new on this channel, u miss a lot of great vids ! have fun

[@ze_rubenator]

Aaron Kyro can casper slide.

[@fr4nkm434]

Ze Rubenator no he can't 😅 he can casper stall, It's diferent, everyone can casper stall

[@usenka9309]

There is a Video oft him doing one. Just search for Aaron kyro Casper slide

[@Docosi]

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.

[@jimmyhinshaw8533]

This is a very well done and enjoyable series. You have a great mellow attitude which is refreshing and the core of what the skating scene meant to most of us. I love the positivity and coming in for the real stuff (hug) at the end. Skating is the source. I hope the youth embrace this series. For us old guys who skated in the 80’s & 90’s we knew Mullen was timeless and it seems that remains true.

[@joergdossler2381]

My skating days are over for so long now, but everyone trying rodney's tricks deserves credit for it. This and being such a humble person made me subscripe. Rodney is on of the goats, no matter what sport we're talking about. Greetz from Germany.

[@ayoutubechannul]

Skate knowledge bank account is STACKED BABY

[@JonnyGiger]

haha yes! skate nerd!

[@lowtiersupport5530]

Fun fact, the clip you showed of Rodney doing that trick that not many people notice, is that he uses his front foot for the underflip. Not the fliping foot.

[@iborimusic]

This series is really the best you have done so far. It also shows what a beast Rodney Mullen was landing easily a trick that took so much struggle for a pro skater like you to land. In addition, it’s great that you show us this trick done in such good video quality, something that wasn’t available in Mullen’s best years.

[@JonnyGiger]

yes i would love to see his tricks in 4k man!!! it also has some nostalgic charm tho :)

[@TheDailyWipeout]

Jonny back in hardcore productive mode - love it

[@JonnyGiger]

haha yes my body is so sore right now tho :D

[@matiou6723]

im loving the recent content!

[@zacri9434]

thought you said reproductive mode

[@timobrien6499]

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 🤌🏽😎

[@a7xfan1244]

Love this style of video man. Great stuff.

[@JonnyGiger]

thanks man! it's a lot of work, but super fun to make :)

[@brandenarnett7162]

I just discovered this series and its amazing. Rodney is a living legend, the fact that he has done tricks that still havent been replicated is insane. How quickly youre able to learn these when you sit down and try is very impressive as well. I hope to see more of these!

[@victorjivhed9927]

I have no idea how I ended up on ep.1 of this series, but I loved every single episode of it and really makes me want to get back out on my board. Looking forward to the next episode, great job Jonny!

[@simpleman3256]

Brother that is so sick... Rodney Mullen would be proud!!

[@JustRockMySoul]

maybe he'll see it some day and invite Jonny over for a session, that'd be awesome

[@joaopa00]

he is still alive

[@JonnyGiger]

:)

[@Perogiii]

I hope Rodney is watching these videos! I know he's a real good guy and would love to watch them. It would even more amazing, though very unlikely due to location, if Rodney came on to these eventually to explain the trick in his own words!

[@CavemanWithAStringStick]

This is the greatest skate related series on KZbin right now Jonny

[@klgx3]

I usually never give like to videos in YT, but i'll be liking every video of this serie. I love what you are doing with this.

[@MP5werditsjt]

These are the tricks that got me into skating man, the nostalgia is real. Keep it up Johnny.

[@RoninGaijin]

As a former skateboarder from the 90's I really appreciate these videos and wish they were around when I was skating. I had to rely on THRASHER magazines with photos of tricks. This generation is spoiled. Be grateful.

[@bluelouboyle6701]

The view surrounding the park is AMAZING! Air must be so fresh, it's like your skating in heaven really . Great video as always!

[@cdogcdog4814]

Johhny you are the man! I always loved Rodney Mullen so it's nice to see a new spin off street freestyle & you push the boundaries of skating every day!

[@matixxx1798]

I had the biggest smile on my face when you landed it! You do a great job communicating your joy of skateboarding in all your videos. Keep it up man!

[@axelgr9351]

Dude I love this guy's skills, humor and explanation

[@YoursInYeshua]

I'm not even a skateboarder, but I love watching your channel! Just subbed! Keep up the amazing work and God bless you!

[@jR0xas]

Man, you nailed it. This trick looks so good. I never knew it's so incredibly hard to do because Rodney makes it look like the easiest thing ever.

[@davidninghetto7291]

When I was a kid, I watched Virtual Reality soooo many times just because of Rodney's session. This guy is just one of a kind! Good job dude!

[@supermike7840]

It’s also REALLY cool to see how so incredibly and genuinely happy you were to land this trick. Love your vids Jonny👊🏼

[@carl.j917]

The pants weren't baggy enough and your skateboard wheels were way too big.

[@logansdrums]

agreed

[@Whag09]

Definitely, and this is not the correct orthograph for mario on the shirt !

[@PCEngineGaijin]

Buy the loose fitting style 5 sizes too big. Then cinch them with a belt. Thats how Rodney did it ;)

[@JonnyGiger]

criticsm accepted! i will look out for bigger ones! :)

[@CoMando0518]

When I skated, and this was back in the early 90's heyday, I wore a 30-32 size jeans and would OFTEN buy like, 38-40s. Sagged heavily, and cut off the bottom hem and left them to fray "naturally" ;) You're killing it with this series, man, keep it up!

[@udo230FL]

I really like your passion that flows through our screens , so authentic everything from you. Hard work with passion and the success says hello.

[@PeJota615]

This is a great series. Your willingness to try new tricks even if it frustrates you for hours or days is admirable.

[@douglassmith6288]

I legitimately didn't think you would ever land this trick. Amazing talent dude. You are now the 2nd person I've ever seen do this besides Rodney himself.

[@VernsHobbies]

This whole series makes my heart so happy 🤩🤩🤩

[@JonnyGiger]

glad to provide happiness ;) :D

[@polishenglish8356]

It looked so perfect when you nailed it !

[@JonnyGiger]

ohh thanks man! it was such a relieve :)

[@liveactionlink8736]

That Majora's Mask is the coolest design I've seen on the grip tape side of a board

[@Almostfamousss]

Mullen's hangtime is second to none. That's why. Umm, Wear that aviator again, Borat mode on. Lol! Great series Jonny!

[@ChruthFabian]

Keep these coming! Could watch 10000000 of these

[@JonnyGiger]

haha thanks my man! now i gotta land a 10000000 of undoable tricks :D

[@ChruthFabian]

@@JonnyGiger ur off to a great start! Also watching u figure out the tricks is a great window into problem soving that never really shows up in traditional tip videos

[@QE-mf6gd]

This series is amazing Jonny. Thank you so much for your dedication! Rodney should see this! Tip of the cap sir.

[@drugaruka]

thank you for keeping the legend alive, rodney was a big role model while growing up

[@lowercase21]

I'm so glad Rodney Mullen is getting his credit now a days as a legend. where I lived back in the day no one knew him or talked about him and he was my favorite skateboarder of all time now everyone knows him and I'm so glad.

[@SquirrellyD4N]

This is the best series ever!! Your skill level is crazy!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DFunct905]

I like how you explain the changes to your technique between the fails at the beginning and the makes at the end.

[@pkbreeze08]

Well done dude, it's amazing that you put so much effort into landing this. I can't even be bothered to tidy up, and you're out there for hours trying the same trick.

[@PhyrBurd]

Another awesome video. These are the kind of videos that you might show someone to validate the dedication that goes into skateboarding.

[@SpeedVaultz]

6:59, well something in Swiss was shouted out of frustration, lol. Another great vid Jonny. Keep up the great work, I know it takes a lot my dude :)

[@TheBTeamOfficial]

I can't skateboard at all. I only really discovered the name Rodney Mullen like a week ago after hearing Tony Hawk mention his name on a podcast. Then this series from three years ago randomly gets thrown on my homepage.

[@vals.]

Great series! Put it on as a playlist so we can check it out more easily!

[@ricois3]

That was awesome Jonny! Can't wait for the primo slide. And also darkslide variations.

[@JonnyGiger]

primo slide will be a tough one!

[@ricois3]

@@JonnyGiger I know, I want to see you struggle! Haha. You should do that video with Alexander Rademacher

[@0whitestone]

I don't skateboard at all, but I respect this difficulty and skill required. I love watching these videos, I learn more about skateboarding than anywhere else I've encountered it before.

[@joe_8699]

Love these. I'm back to skating after about 8yrs. Your awesome sir thank you

[@VincentK.McMahon]

I once landed a nollieflip underflip Then i turned off the playstation

[@benjaminmulder4828]

Goldust “not gunna lie...they had us in the first half”

[@mavic6155]

I'm no skate boarder, but looking at those tricks in slo-mo makes me really appreciate them. Otherwise it's only swish-swoosh and it's finished within a second. Soo much happening in that one second!

[@jalabaluba]

That series i love it. Man you are by far one of the best skater content creator. Keep doing it.

[@njkf]

Your dedication is crazy... This series is why I sub to Jonny giger

[@zachwolfrom4522]

You have a good series going here. Thanks for the videos, and props on your skills!

[@JonnyGiger]

thanks man! i try my best :)

[@irmasil3]

Yeah I love this series. I am 41 trying to learn to skate, I am still working on rolling ollies. I will never do these kind of tricks of course, I just wanna cruise and climb curbs rolling, maybe a kick flip after 2-3 years...lol! But Rodney has been an idol since 26 years ago when I last put a foot on a skate. I love how Jonny appreciates the true genius of this man, which without him, skateboarding would be nothing......

[@arrogantstylez]

Jonny.... man... so epic. Persistence really paid off. Also, so what if you had a once in a blue moon Freak Out... happens to everyone! Great job man! So hyped for you

[@MrAnderson234]

AMAZING! Bro, make sure you still stick with doing these specialty tricks even when your done recording these videos. If you keep iterating he muscle memory for each of these crazy Rodney tricks you'll end as good as he was. Hope this series blows up for you man

[@caina4678]

I’ve watched this and your other video about the semi flip. Awesome stuff bro!!! You break down the dynamics of the moves really clearly. It was so good too that you landed them both. The struggle just made it more real, and satisfying to see you finally do it! I would love to see some more videos from you. I am going to subscribe

[@itsMrNoble]

My old roommate used to constantly refer to Rodney Mullen as Rodney Mullens and it still makes me as angry now as it did back then.

[@lajeandom]

Man I stopped skating a long time ago but I always been a huge fan of Mullen and your videos just make me want to start again! Waiting for the next vid!

[@JustD-kc3jd]

You're awesome brother. Brings me back to the old days. Keep it up.

[@AidenCral]

Baggy pants need to be twice as wide, those look nothing like Rodney's from the 90's :P

This is highly entertaining. Cheers for lighting my skate spark again.

Yes yes yes yes YESSSSSSS!!! Wow Jonny just. WOW! So amazing man. I am so amped and excited on this series brother congrats so much on landing it clean several times and I look forward so much to the next in this series!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎😎😎👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

thanks man!! i will do my best to keep it up!

[@DeakinWilson]

Started skating a week ago. Started learning the kickflip the other day and wondered if this trick is possible. I had no clue what the trick was called so I looked up so much random trick names. I downloaded skate 3 today and accidently did the trick in the game so I looked it up and found this gem. When you landed this trick I felt so happy! 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. I Think you do the best job at breaking down tricks. I've already landed a couple kickflips on carpet all because of you!!!

[@Christofur]

Wow Jonny...you never fail to amaze me. Thanks for your hard work my Swiss friend.

[@elpadrino1128]

This is deffinetely my favorite Mullen trick. Probably one of my favorite tricks to look at

[@deadmoonscriptures1556]

I love watching you land these tricks man.. I am inspired, You're the best!

[@gwidon6363]

I have never skated even once in my life, but I love these videos! Big up

[@adrianspokemon5092]

That feeling when you try so hard , and at the end you land it . Best feeling ever !

[@ぽいぽいプロダクション]

I used to wear those ciricas. I guess they were like what we call now hype. It cost more for shogoo than the shoe itself! Thanks the flip era. You had to be able to do at least a kick flip to go to school. Good ol 90s. I still have my grind kings with a shortys deck with sheep shoes as a decoration in my kitchen. Wonder how many skaters remember buying ccs mini catalog and thasher only having tees, cuting of tungs from a previous shoe and adding it to your next. Good ol days. Love your vids

[@garethcollocott6310]

Came across this channel by fluke, then I obviously Rodney Mullen from my young days came up....My God I cannot believe how good Rodney was, beyond legend!

[@syazzy17]

I'm not a skater. But your determination and perseverance is something, that can be appluded and commeded for.

[@MacChuck]

Nice done, Jonny! It is really nice to see you back in a positive mode, keep at it and good things will come:- ) I am looking forward to the next Mullen challenge. Tschüss!

[@MrJordanWharmby]

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 🙌🏻

[@jeremys4984]

You seriously inspire me and many people with your commitment and dedication. You're awesome!

[@BarnyardTheSilverback]

Really digging this series, and kudos on landing these tricks so far!

[@moosartti]

I remember me and my friend trying these tricks when we were like 6-7 year old in 1999 and we always thought we did some of them correctly even we didnt and it was the best thing ever hahaha. Oh all those summer nights spent in the skate park..i miss those times.

[@stephprime]

love this series! I could watch this for like 24 hours :D super stocked when you land the trick
