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!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@passthecash]

Giger, you are such an inspiration, man. You had a bunch of makes in there that anyone would have taken. But not Jonny “NOT GOOD ENOUGH” Giger. Your pursuit of perfection is super inspiring.

This was amazing!! I’m currently battling it and today will be day 3 I’m not doing it the Mullen way I have my right foot in the middle of the board but just the fact that it’s an epic trick I think it’s safe to say Mullen would be proud. Hyped you landed it man and you did it more than once 🙌🏻

Giger counter 130: the look that says 'hey! quiet in the cheap seats!' A lesson in persistence & a great vid. The best part about hanging in there is once you crack something your average success rate goes up real quick lol- first 200~ tries you were 200~ for 0. At 1,000 times I reckon you'll be at like an 65~% success rate :D

[@74wrighty]

This shows just how good Rodney Mullen is. And how dedicated Jonny is.

[@DaffyDuck007]

Johnny is so frickin' humble man. The crazy part is not that he stayed with it for 230+ tries, or that he landed it like 5x in a row once he got it. It's the fact that after 20 years of no one else landing the trick on video (I know I can't verify it, but I will take Johnny's word), Johnny Giger set his mind to duplicating a famous Mullen trick and learned it THAT DAY. We all know Rodney is the street God of skating, but I promise you he would probably tell you it took way more than 230 tries when he invented the trick. Johnny really is a beast at learning the craft.

[@JudgmentallyRS]

I love how you don't settle for sketchy! Most of this skateboarding generation lands a trick sketchy once and goes around telling everyone they learned a new trick. Flickandpray is the new way of skating

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 👍🏻
