Tony Hawk On Watching Rodney Mullen's 1st Kickflip

Tony will never let the skate world not know about Rodney's greatness

[@marcomedina137]

Rodney deserves it

[@Screen-Peeks]

True pioneer

[@erik4894]

As it should be, mullen is such a great guy

[@Bertholemu]

He’s your GOD FATHER of freestyle it’s not greatness it’s THE MAN

[@thelocal0170]

Humbling how much respect Tony shows to Rodney

[@don951]

As a freestyler at the time it was a big deal. A kickflip was done completely different back in the day. At first Mullen called it an "ollie flip" and it became a "magic flip" later. Calling it a kick flip was confusing for a very long time since we already had a kickflip that was done differently. Great memories for sure.

Tony hawk said the exact same thing in a video I just watched

[@jacobsims8307]

What was a kick flip?

[@candyandbrian]

@@jacobsims8307 Ride in a parallel stance and turn one foot a little sideways so the toes are hanging off then hook the top of the foot right behind the big toe under the board. Jump up and flick the board under footed. It's easier to land switch for some people, depending on your dominate leg.

Please bring Christian Slater! Would be awesome hearing you all tell stories about the making of Gleaming the Cube together

[@MikeGilroyMusic]

There is an old video of them talking about it but a new conversation more in depth would be awesome. I was 10 when that movie came out, loved it.

[@nunyabusiness896]

Ellis, calm down man! Let the people talk!

[@50yearoldskater]

I learned the kickflip grab pretty far back as it just made sense to combine two tricks I had very well at the time, Frontside grab ollies & the kickflip. There was another guy in my neighborhood who did them too, Ray Simmonds. When Shackle Me Not came out Ray and Danny were both seen doing them on effectively street, Benecia and Skate camp specifically. I think that's where most people learned about them. Later, when Danny took them to vert, it was really mindblowing at the time.

[@BadgerBJJ]

I still have an one Per Welinder freestyle board from 1986 or 87ish

[@infinidominion]

I got The End in 99 and that Reynolds kickflip over stairs filmed from above is so magic. It was nice to have that to learn from

[@grandmasterfarmer4792]

Great video. And the A.Reyonolds part is totally sick. He makes record jumps while doing tricks making it look like kindergarten to him.

[@drivin69]

epic freestyle board were so lack luster just a board on wheels... legendary

[@BobWeaver3000]

og studio... nicccce

[@hairybushman9747]
