I was there, it was just awesome, you have to remember that there were almost no pro skaters in Britain at the time, hardly anyone had ever seen a pro skater, they were legends. We were just kids, I used to travel for two hours each way on the train to get to Rom, the only skate park I had ever been to. I honestly don't think anyone knew how to react and just emulated the kids on early american skate videos, what the video doesn't show is that after the demo Rodney spent ages talking to everyone, discussing tricks and even taking some tips.

[@butterflipmanny]

what can i say... hes the god of skateboarding just too good, never can be compared, period

[@Martin-sx4bx]

[@mattnsim]

Brilliant. No one else compares in technical prowess.. 😳

[@Soundeagle3456]

it's like he goes on the board and just starts hammering, it's very aquatic like,

[@ChallengeTheSonOfAShepherd]

[@fredericpistersi3278]

[@adzee14]

Romford is such a kool park! i like it there

[@Nifuruc]

this is so epic... I can't get enough of it! hell yeeaaah! ^^

[@rgt2020]

Ha, I still hear "Oh, God that's so sick" at 1:36 right after does a FS 540 truckspin.

[@homedogdigity]

and so much more

[@BSR73]

Aaaaah, the old Rom skatepark. Mullen is the bollocks.

[@sheepshuffle]

insane

[@LIQQWIDRIP]

YEAH!

[@Muddbruv]

We have 2 words in Romford, "yeah" and "Nah bruv"

[@crimson1718]

This just cannot be real... Mullen could ollie 360 and indy grab on flatrgound with such a shitty flat ass board back in the days?? Absolutely a genius.

[@666CorpseRot]

+Lore P. Dude that board is made specifically for flatland freestyle, that's still what you want to use if you're going to do flatland freestyle xD but yeah Rodney Mullen is legendary. should go check out some other freestyle skaters though they use the same kind of decks even today.

[@crimson1718]

Dylion Jahlly freestyle boards now have kick tails and actual nose, this is more like a penny board

[@666CorpseRot]

Lore P. No that board is exactly the same, it has kick tails it just doesn't have concave look at the video you can see them. if you know anything about flatland freestyle though you know that any deck after being used especially as much as Rodney Mullen skates.. gets beaten up and flattened out on the tails exactly like this board did.

[@crimson1718]

Dylion Jahlly not sure if it was the same length and width back then ..

[@666CorpseRot]

Lore P. Think it's probably about the same the shape is just a little bit different, maybe less directional shaped and more round lol

[@darrensapalo]

woo yeah... yeahh!! yeah.. yeah? yeah!! yeah. Damn, english must be hard.

[@homedogdigity]

Rodney, in high probability, could hold the world record for 360s - that is it looks as if he can hold them as long as he wishes.

[@GustavoKennedySk8]

YEAH YEAH

[@gregduke4673]

Yeeaah, yeahhh, yeah! Yeaaahhh, yeaaaaaaahhh, yeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhh

[@gregduke4673]

Yeah.

[@splendid-bmx]

Yeah

[@MrMaggotz]

Yeaaaaaaaah!

[@3DEditor]

I counted "Yeah" said 51 times.

[@TabGames]

That was awesome footage, but I dont think I've ever been so annoyed by the word yeah as I was after hearing it like 100 times in this video.

[@Clarke5487]

A true prodigy.

[@scrchhrpn]

crazy mullen

[@Enjoiskateboarding01]

rodney is too cool

[@ytSouljah]

yeah.

[@Spazam1000]

its a pivot if u get your balance right its not too hard but he is amazing at them

[@Nominay]

I put this footage at Feb. '90.

[@blah97840]

Yeeeeeaaaaahhh!

[@deadcorpse12]

every time Rodney Lands a trick everyone goes all like, YEAH !!! .. hahahahaha .. XD..

[@mike_osterman1]

oh you be shittin me!

[@Brandonapprove]

the word of the day is yeah

[@anderson617]

yeahhhh

[@brettdart]

[@thai2go]

YYYYEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH

[@max0t90]

Yeahhh Yeeeahhh Yeah.

[@dizzinicol]

[@MrChuckfan]

This makes me wanna play tony hawks. when you could do like manual to pogo and shit. now im playing skate 3 and its all like "i want my rediculous cheat codes so i can have no gravity back! and my crazy manual tricks to where the little meter let you manual forever!" like this if you miss tony hawks.

[@darrensapalo]

anyone would be. Rodney mullen is godlike.

[@madjumpskid23]

If i was there i would b screaming my head off..

[@yapira3d]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@Bridewell7]

123222,454455,4= times they say yeah!!!

[@skaterblklbl]

that was all that they said...was yea yea yea yea yea

[@MingosStyle]

Why he does old scholl even in a skate park i never saw him doing ramps...

[@MrCardinalzboy]

guys! whats that move called or how do you do it the one Rodneys doing on 0:07 to 0:23 any help ?

[@rickh3714]

Spacewalk- into walk the dog- into endover into toe pirouette. Few other than Rodney can make this look cool. Isamu excepted!

[@rickh3714]

Point being lots of repetitive flip variations in routines now but few really master the basics- and they ARE very basic freestyle foot work manouevres! Integrated and with real kinetic dynamism and/or flow you have something worth watching!

[@scottlandsman]

Yeahhhhhh nice one rodneyyyyyy lol XD in all seriousness he is a fucking GOD

[@usk8]

It's what us "Brits" are good at.... YEAH!!! =p

[@assassin111111]

haha yeah!!! yeah!!!

[@homedogdigity]

his nose 360s that is

[@splendid-bmx]

More soon - Please subscribe!!

[@Aspis_1-0]

Thats no move to say the least, thats like Rodney's signature routine that takes a ton of practice and pecision without getting dizzy. Theres no real name to it except for that last trick that he missed, thats called a nosehook impossible.

[@rickh3714]

The trick to not getting dizzy is to look down when spinning etc! Count the shadows of your board not the trees nor ( if you are really good ) the faces in the crowd watching!

[@SavagetheMaker]

there should be more applause

[@Fleppo]

haha listen at 1:36 "aaaa girlfriend so sexy" :D

[@Soundeagle3456]

he said oh god that is so sexy.

[@hazelbury77]

x1,000,000. Sounds like a pirate convention

[@mattgokey]

freestye isnt dead.

[@_Mythz]

Yeeahghgh x50

[@2055g]

I got dizzy looking at him...

[@storyLEGOisROCK]

zombie watching rodney mullen -,-

[@ung427]

Towards the end they start sounding like sheep! Lol! Bahahahahahahaaa... Bahahahahahahahaaaa... yeahahahahaaaah..

[@Kingtrollface259]

[@3DEditor]

YEEEEEEAAAAAAH! NEEEEEEEOOOOOOOO WAAAAAY! LOL!

[@butterhill8974]

[@02skatekun]

[@unIdentifieDskate]

i was waiting for someone to contradict them all and just run onto the camera screaming "NOOO!!!!,NOOO!!"

[@menny5726]

Yeah

[@itscrawford]

BAhaha yeaahhhhh. after a while its hard not to just sit there with your jaw dropped in silence

[@rgt2020]

It sounds more like "Oh, that was so sick..."

[@noodsey]

i would pay a dollar do hear them say "oh yeaahhhhhh" instead of yeah

[@jimvooght]

so annoying all the fucking Yeah !! Yeah!! Nice one Rodney !!

[@GaryTheMoomau]

i would of said yeah, but apparenty, everybody already has.

[@Thespilloftroy]

One foot 540 shove to manual... only Rodney Mullen. Damn.

[@Xpayne1]

[@mrduetdude6715]

They start getting heated up at around 1:46. Haha

[@twenty47deviant]

Apparently the word of the day is YEAH!

[@shallowgravesk8films]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[@SaccoBelmonte]

Love when they comment....hey! that's the ollie! did you see?...the ollie!

[@showdownrocks]

he was off his A game that day :O

[@DonkeyDiddles]

The Ballet of Skating - Just proves, its not just a sport....its an art xO

[@solomonpachowiak106]

Normally I think of it like parkour in that an individual moving through their environment and using it as a medium of their expression. When I see folks on the flats like this just tearing it up it reminds me of shit like figure skating. Just taking a flat space and just tearing it up. And you're right, just like those things, it's an art.

[@soulmachineNo1]

Play it cool Rodders

[@alefiny]

0:44 Rail variations are sick!

[@Wawfactor]
