[@beau5316]

I've been a huge fan of Rodney Mullen since 1992. He's the one who inspired me to start skating way back then. I unfortunately had some things happen in my life and I dropped skating for 20 years. I started watching you 2 years ago. You inspired me to start skating again. Means alot to me. You have so much insane talent, dedication, and passion for skating man. I'm always excited to see you rip! You're definitely one of the greats!!

[@kdiddy4714]

Are you still skating dude??

[@stnkold316]

Bad. Ass. Let this be a lesson for everyone. Doesn't matter what you do, you gotta try and try again until you're happy and satisfied. 230 failures is an accomplishment because you didn't quit. You didn't let the trick defeat you. Your determination won out. Jonny, this will sound corny, but I just turned 32 and I rode a skateboard for the first time in at least a decade for the heck of it. I could still Ollie. After I did that, a handful of kids ran up to me and wanted me to teach them how. One of them popped a legit Ollie. Your videos get me pumped and want to pick up skating again. Thanks!

[@relleck2036]

I like how you show all your attempts until you not only land it for the first time but, until your can land them clean until they're consistent. You're a true master of your craft.

[@genericfirstnamegenericlas6490]

You can skate, anyone can, it just takes some practice and motivation. I am still very new to skating, but by building my way up and I can now ride off of most curbs, and can sorta-manual if I try really hard. If you can't get the trick down, take a break for a little bit and come back to it later. Some day I feel very confident, some days I feel less, but I still skate for the day. You just gotta do baby steps.

Giger counter 130: the look that says 'hey! quiet in the cheap seats!' A lesson in persistence & a great vid.

Especially the first part just doing a „normal“ Darkslide just to warm up 😂 People reaction must be funny. I’ve never seen that and I also never make it cause I was never good at skating. Darkslide was always one of my favorite tricks to watch, first I‘ve seen it ( of course Rodney did it in the THPS 2 Intro ) I couldn’t believe it, that this is possible. I was a child, so forgive me my naiv thinking 😂 But how you kill it with the 360 Flip Darkslide, was just amazing. I hope Rodney watch your videos too 👍🏻
