Rodney Mullen Debuts New Tricks, Captured in 360 Degrees | Vogue

[@JB-qh6uz]

there are good skaters, great skaters, legends and then there is rodney mullen. he is on another level.

[@omnigeek]

and as good as he is, he is the most humble skater alive. I was watching one of his public speaking events and one of the first things he says is that he has been skating long enough to to say that there is no "best skater". Im not sure if he was just trying to be humble or if he honestly doesnt realize that he is the best skater ever

[@RetrospectsToo]

Perhaps another planet even

[@ryantoscano9894]

J B well said sir

[@divinitygaming8673]

But he will never be Tony Hawk though.

[@almostkinda]

@@divinitygaming8673 very different worlds. And street skateboarding is quite a lot bigger now than vert. So influence wise Tony is not were near the same.

[@seandavis908]

It's 2016 and Rodney F'n Mullen is trending on youtube! I guess there is still good in the world.

[@Melvin-dt3ui]

right lol

[@Fuerwahrhalunke]

He is an inspiring human being and the creator of skateboarding as we know it today (street). There is no reason why he shouldnt be trending!

[@juhahoik]

Not really, but nice to see a video for once, amongst thousands, that shows a talented person with shitty mass-porn editing.

[@willblues1754]

the fact that he can do a one arm handstand at 50 years old is amazing enough. i wish i could hang out with rodney

[@invertedxxxi]

Thing is, he’d be totally down. Dude is also legendary for being a total sweetheart who will chill with anyone. Facebook is littered with photos of him, chilling with fans all the time. To this day. It’s so cool.

[@christiansmyth1466]

I’m not even a skater, but watching Rodney brings tears of happiness and admiration to my eyes. It’s been said time and again, but his style and execution are just otherworldly. Truly an artist.

[@michiganweather]

This is 4 minutes of straight up CHILLS. Everyone alive today can literally say they’ve seen the greatest skateboarder in human history. This guy just nails the whole blend of imagination and reality. I’m in awe.

[@laurenrodriguez3738]

I realize there is a strong polarization of opinion about the editing in the video, but as someone who has seen Mullen live on more than one occasion since the early 80's, I think the video is beautiful... hear me out.... Back in the day skating was viewed as counter culture and counter productive... lots of people thought it was a waste of time and money, what we "slackers" did with our time. This video shows a level of refined skill and beauty - his mastery of the craft - and it is very difficult for those who still see skating as a waste to deny the elegance. The editing helps it to be much more palatable for those who do not understand it. Understanding is the key to acceptance and positive regard. Personally though, I thoroughly enjoy raw footage with all the blurry moments, edges, and wrinkles, too. Peace.

[@joshwilliams7692]

I don't like the editing because I can't tell what the flip he's doing. I heard him say in an interview that he did a rail 360 shove it to rail in this video, but I can't even tell where it is in the video. I'd like to see it because I've never seen anyone do that before, but I can't because this video sucks.

[@PHeMoX]

Who cares if skating was considered counter culture or not? The editing in this video is terrible. The best part about Mullen's tricks are his actual tricks, not some kind of slow-motion blur obscuring everything that actually happens. Heck, the entire video would have been much much better had every trick slowed down to slow motion showing the trick in detail versus whatever crap this video was.

[@Yaboringme]

Lauren Rodriguez perfectly stated

[@Madgeney]

Lauren Rodriguez beautifully put, sister.

[@buddymckay3486]

The effects are obstructing his talent and is a disgrace to his fans. Simply put. The ones who have edited and layed effects upon the footage are probably not skaters. You can tell.

[@old513fpv5]

A true testament to the human spirit Rodney. I am now 44 yrs old and I picked out a Veriflex "California" from a military exchange post in Germany as a kid in 1979. My body now reminds me of the goals I set and the perception I quested with many boards including your "Checkers and Skull" freestyle board in 89'. That daily pain also reminds of the freedom those boards and that ambition rewarded me with: a sense of accomplishment, the understanding of the commitment it would have to take to be "Great". Thank you Rodney, from my spirit to yours, you are that living testimonial. Beautiful and well done.

[@JasonBunting]

That guy's a living legend - not sure how often such a figure is recognized in other fields before they're gone, but it's true of Mullen for his sport. Great to have him still around, still influencing things.

[@Whathatsmellike]

This dude is literally a genius, I have so much appreciation for him as a person

[@AkraixMX]

This might be the coolest thing i've seen in years. 2020 here.

[@Ace2066]

2:39 I've already mastered this one

[@cullencorbett8377]

The thing about Rodney is not only is he an incredible skater, he's an incredible human being. In 1984, my dad asked Rodney if he could teach me how to skate. My father was a history teacher at PK. Yonge and Rodney was in his history class. He was a senior at that the time and I was in 8th grade. For the next six months after school near the cafeteria and at a place called Sensation Basin, Rodney and I spent hours together skating and doing free style tricks. (I wasn't very good but he was very patient and understanding.) Rodney would practice a lot of these moves for hours at a time. I didn't know at that the time what an incredible opportunity I had. Rodney was in his own world when he would skate, not a lot of talking just laughing and smiling. It's great to see him living out his dreams and what a positive impact he's having in his journey. One of the all time great human beings of our generation.

[@suppression2142]

i saw him give an interview one time where he talked about some disorder of the muscles and joints (i think that's what it was) that makes him have to do like two hours of incredibly painful stretching before he can skate. he's a hero not only for his artistry and influence, but also for the sheer love he's got for doing it. the dude's just amazing, a true inspiration.

[@connerd5081]

There are very few people who have the chance to say they truly mastered something. What you have done for one sport, is incomparable to any other pro athlete. A toy manufacturer put wheels on a piece of wood and said “here you can buy this and roll around on it” and for 15 friggin years that’s what people did. Then you sir came along and politely said “This thing can do more than just roll” and unlocked potential in a product that would lead it to become a recognized sports league. You did what no one thought was even possible. Did Lebron James create a new way to bounce a ball? Did tiger woods create a new way to hit a ball with a piece of metal? Did Michael Phelps create a new way to swim? Did Mohammad Ali, may he Rest In Peace, create a new way to use a boxing glove? Did Tom Brady create a new way to throw a football? The resounding answer is no. You single handily created a 2.5 billion dollar sport industry, all by transforming a one use product into something with almost limitless potential. It’s now going to be in the olympics this year. Congratulations to what I truly believe is the greatest Athlete of the past 100 years. Well done, Godspeed Rodney.
