Rodney Mullen in Globe Shoes "Opinion"

[@SauthPa]

I remember watching a lot of these clips on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and being blown away. Now, watching the full video as an adult all these years later I am still in awe.

[@BobLeeeSwaggga]

2024 and this still blows my mind, one of the greatest KZbin videos ever

[@knowbystyle]

11 years later after watching this for the first time its STILL one of my all time favourite parts. Rodneys skating always brings something we've never seen and will never see again, that is one of many reasons why this guy is a top skateboarder in my books.

[@cain2548]

He's the GOAT. Always has been always will be.

[@stug2374]

and 9 years after your comment this part still as stong as ever

[@mikejohnson9633]

Hes the Wayne gretzky of skating

[@subnoizesoldier2]

Best in the world if you ask me

[@golden-wj9di]

He is the best skateboarders

[@86mdwolfie]

I could watch videos of Rodney skate all day long. He’s something else.

[@animalfinatic9366]

right!!!

[@UncleJimima]

It’s so hard to find this not impressive even if you don’t like skateboarding this is something that anyone can watch and be amazed. Love Rodney Mullen hope he’s well.

[@gaignunkukai9461]

The balance he had is so unreal to me, those transitions for his manuals just blow my mind. Will forever be a fan of Rodney.

[@lesterksi4521]

This is year 2023 and no one skates like him

[@IXIII-IXIII]

Rodney has better control of that board than most people have with a knife and fork!!

[@quietdominator666]

My childhood memory wrapped up in a single video. Much respect ✊ to Mullen.

[@muruzabal]

He’s becoming more and more genius as time passes by and we see the amazing difference between Rodney and the skaters of yesterday, today and tomorrow for sure... he’s totally different to every human out there.

[@animalfinatic9366]

mhm

[@tynao2029]

rodney loved skating in those globes. He could do anything in those shoes. Late 90s/early 00s skate shoes were the best

[@vecchioutente]

I really want to get some Osiris D3 2001 skate shoes but they are nowhere near to buy 😶

[@tynao2029]

@@vecchioutente yeh im not sure where Osiris or Dave Mayhew is at now but they should sell/remake the line and they would become rich, it's a popular aesthetic and look now those skate shoes

[@Justin-qv4kd]

Owned a pair. They were enormous but lasted long

[@darkdaxter23]

That’s clearly the proof that the “slim shoes board feel business” is BS , i always rocked chunky shoes and had no problem skating , and look at what wonders rodney does with his board rocking globes and stuff =) . There are no bad tools , only unexperienced workers =D

[@SalDOWN]

Well, I still wear them. Globe Tilt FTW! ^^

[@lethalbox909]

This man truly is poetry in motion. I always walk away in sheer awe of what a human being is capable of doing.

[@Overlorddz]

That's a nice way of looking at things

[@rodolfonavarrete7362]

I remember falling in love with skateboarding by watching this video part when I was about 13 years old.

Make that 3, me too

There's not many 6 minute long videos out there, where you can quite happily crack open a beer and watch the whole damn thing at 0.25 speed.

[@patrikmalory]

Well, im sitting here after 10 shots of rum and have a nostalgie watching this. Pure legend

[@XDBjoernXD]

Rodney conveys the love for skateboarding. He is the very reason I started skating. I was so glued to the monitor as I saw this video the first time.

[@xOGxSE7ENx]

The Godfather of Tech!! I'm very fortuitous to have seen him in the 80s!!

[@Doopes]

Absolute legend... arguably best skater of all time.. and in my eyes he's definitely the 🐐

[@babujakosia9395]

The childhood memories on this one are so so grand and beautiful ❤ The amount of time i spent in THPS just emulating Rodneys combos is endless haha Love this dude 4 ever. Absolute G 🙏

[@GLMusic12]

Every single skater after Rodney can do at best 20% of what Rodney could. I dont think there is any other athlete who is so goated at his sport. He literally invented or pioneered everything a modern street skater does. There will never ever be a discussion about the goat of skateboarding, he has been there since the beginning.

[@arvaneret_329]

“The goat of skateboarding”? Don't insult him like that. And what the heck does “goated” mean? Clearly you haven't heard about the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats.

[@erock736]

@@arvaneret_329”Greatest Of All Time.” G.O.A.T. That’s the meaning.

[@arvaneret_329]

@@erock736 I know, but the evil strategy is to turn “goat” into a compliment for someone supposedly admirable. Since people nowadays have abandoned the correct way to write acronyms (with dots separating each letter) due to practicality, “G.O.A.T.” turns into “GOAT”, and then ignorant or cynical people turn that word into “goat”. By the way, calling someone “the greatest of all time” is a complete exaggeration because you never know who might appear in the future. So that's clearly one of those acronyms where the word it produces was the initial idea, and then a meaning for each letter was added. I don't see many people throwing around a ridiculously high compliment like that frequently.

[@edelioavilesjorge6549]

2020 and nobody can recreate that videopart. That's when you know that Rodney Mullen is the father of street skateboarding!

19 years has gone by so fast. Don't know when the last time I saw this but studied videos back then so it's still engrained in my brain.

[@subnoizesoldier2]

That board is literally a extension of your body dude so flawless

[@FtotheP]

Must have watched this part 100 times in the past 20 years. Never realized until now that he did the last combo twice! The first one is flawless and the second one has a lil tic-tac after the nollie flip.

[@insanity4224]

What other activity exists where the person who invented it remains the GOAT for eternity? Mullen is truly unique.

[@billydeewilliams9104]

The Eddie Van Halen of skate boarding...

[@nutinurmacaroni]

One of the best video parts of all time. The godfather the GOAT. My single most important idol. This video played a huge part of me becoming the person I am today. Thank you Rodney!

never gets old

The man created his own version of perfection.

[@manufaustino316]

this singular video is my biggest inspiration to keep pushing forward, not gonna lie, I start the day by watching Rodney pull off those tricks and I really get inspired to do anything, skating, working, doing workout, anything, it's just really amazing!

[@mocky747]

22 years later after watching this for the first time its STILL one of my all time favourite parts. Rodneys skating always brings something we've never seen and will never see again, that is one of many reasons why this guy is a top skateboarder in my books. /s

[@leobasurto187]

I'm loving this music with the skating it's so relaxing especially when you are good at it like this

Brings me back to watching this on VHS at 15 years old on rainy days or before skating. Good times.

[@davids.2511]

This guy is sick, if you disagree than you need to get your head checked

[@zukodude487987]

I disagree, i think he is very healthy and active.

[@adamanonymous6885]

The crazy thing about binging all Rodney's parts from old skateboarding videos is he's otherworldly good from the very first part he ever filmed, and yet he still gets BETTER over the years - his darkslides and casper slides in this are noticeably cleaner than on earlier parts...

[@yakivpopavich]

Still mind blowing to this day, there is technical tricks and then there is Mullen grade tricks.

[@lukelloyd7934]

Absolutely sick! This video is a total vibe for a 90's kid!

My childhood nickname was "Rodney" cause i used to make friends asking them if they like skateboard, and the ones who said "yes" i invited them to go to my house watch my VHS tape of Globe Opinion. I can tell you all of my style of wearing was all based on that guy, i loved this part so much.. I'm showing my son this video for the first time and he simply hyped on that! This brings me some much joy. Thanks Rodney you're awesome!!!

And casper and primo slides i think

Yes, he pretty much invented the majority of tricks we now know. This dude was Olli ING before people knew how to do it. Casper, darkslide, kickflip/heelflip rewind, truckstand, primo slide, hard flip, impossible, finger flip, all courtesy of Rodney Mullen.

[@HiThereFaceHere]

He invented the skateboard shape we all ride today too on top of everything else lol the godfather

[@j4v-cyberpunk-music]

Until today the real RD remains uncovered. Just one thing is for sure: He had quite some muscles and superior control of them and most real skaters wonder, and will never know, how many understood what the Thrasher Mag is without a dictionare when they read about this young man and read the interviews. #skateordie

[@jonathonschott]

I first saw some of this footage in THPS3 for ps2. I grew up in Michigan playing hockey, and in the 90's in my town at least you either did a board or blades, not both, and i did blades, I was already playing hockey and I remember when ice hockey finally embraced their warmer cousin and Bauer actually came out with a wheeled version of their skate, and so though i didn't really have anything against skateboarding i didnt know the first thing about it until THPS3 (actually taught me a lot about the sport) aaaaand then i unlocked Rodney's video and it was so unbelievable compared to the others, even the namesake Tony Hawk only had some average vid clip, that i had to re-watch it immediately to look for wires or something, or a hidden torque motor in the truck axle, but Nope, that was real. GOAT.

[@haroldgan2821]

love it！

[@mennysprings]

[@samuraidf]

Ainda hoje quase ninguém consegue replicar essas manobras, ainda que isoladas, ele fazia várias em uma série sem cortes!

Sim sim, Rodney fazia várias manobras sem cortes, a chance de errar uma era apenas 1% só, na grande maioria ele acertava. Meu sonho era conhecê-lo algum dia, esse é um gênio do skate, eu treino bastante todas manobras que ele faz, vendo cada movimento e detalhe do vídeo! Excelente.
