this legend is 58 but looks like 40?

The undisputed king of Skateboarding. It wouldn't be what it is today, without him.

Wait....did he say the wheels are falling off? 🤦‍♂🛹

❤

Míster Mullen es mi héroe, gracias por todo lo que hace por el skateboard, un gran saludos de Argentina

18:27 - a lot more to life than winning and being perfect

Rodney you are our favorite guy,and you don't want to skate? Come on skate,grind something

The Mutt, The Godfather, Rodney is so bright and deserves all the best.

Look at all the book titles, I knew Rod was into physics but jeezus those ain't light reads o_0;

Flipping a board with your feet is right up there with curing cancer. This man is a genius and should be respected as such.

Great chat!

I would love to hear his input on that last question. I felt that he totally got off base and went on with what he wanted to say instead of a answer. It doesn’t matter I just wanted a different answer to that question a answer that was about the question. What I got out of it was the act of skateboarding is pure and simple but looking at the evolution of what we ride from the 60s to the 2020s what are we going to be riding in 20 years? I would like to go faster with less pushing but thats just me. Great interview as always with the most amazing insights and philosophy of such a simple toy

Rodney has been around so long that he has pondered the many dimensions that exist around skateboarding. It is really a great phenomenon that even most participants of the activity don't even consciensly fathom how it affects their being both physically and mentally. There is a strange harmony that those who partake of skateboarding take in to themselves.Rodney, although sometimes seeming a bit autistic in his manner, feels this wholeheartedly, as per my perception of him. I don't know why, but those who partake of skateboarding with their whole being, seem to have a different kind of development that supercedes the average person. Whether it be how they seem to be "forever young" or to look at everyday things in a quite different manner, they definitely develop beyond the average person....as per my own percption, and many others who've similarly told me so.

I could listen to Rodney talk all day. A little over 30 years ago, Rodney Mullen versus Daewon song is literally what got me into skateboarding. I remember thinking he was some sort of magician because I had never seen any other skateboarder do tricks like him. Rodney will always be the GOAT 🐐

Rodney is the Stephen Hawking of skateboarding 💫 people don’t realize, skateboarding is science 🤯

Your ideas and perspective are as much a gift to the community as your innovations, your mind is as sharp as ever and you still have much to give, perhaps more with words than clips but important all the same. This notion of being less than or in decline is a fallacy and I hope you can overcome it.

I wish i had him as a professor. He can really keep you tuned in.

Fantastic interview; so good to see Rodney be able to really extrapolate on his thoughts. King Mutt forever!

One of my favorite people on this planet for over 30 years! You're the best Rodney.

awesome you managed to get rodney in a video, he's been known to be impossible to get a hold of to participate in these sorts of things

I met Rodney years ago and will never forget how he made me feel important in our conversation. Starstruck turned into admiration of the kind humble thoughtful human Rodney is. Thank you Rodney, for being you. 🧡

God bless you Rodney Mullen!

Such a great person

The Magic that Rodney unlocked for skateboarding as a sport is unparalleled. But its the gift that this magic has given to skaters around the world is nothing short of miraculous.

When Rodney talks, I listen

You did a great job here! You really allowed Rodney to take his time and and speak from a heartfelt and profound place! Didnt interrupt him and flowed from one question to another seamlessly! well done! He is an absolute treasure as you / we / all know.

I skated several times with The Mutt.... and he's the gentlest skateboarder I've ever met (despite being the BEST SKATEBOARDER OF ALL TIME!) He is a legend that someone like him is never born again...... and he is not at all arrogant or with his fucking "ego" up... Like many many skaters they are now......He is a clear example of what true and real skateboarding is like...the true essence of skateboarding is called RODNEY "THE MUTT" MULLEN...... The best skateboarder of all time.... end of the fucking story

thanks for this! Rodney Mullen is literally my favorite living human being, and my own personal hero.

Thanks for inspiring Rodney to share some thoughts, or stream of consciousness. I wish I could vote for a guy like this for something important. Such a genuine individual.

Aa a older adult now. Growing up skateboarding starting in the year 2000. I owe the ones that cane before me with so much respect. I could listen to Rodney Mullen talk about anything. He's so humble and nice. I respect him on so many levels. I'm thankful for the wonderful topics he talked about in this interview. The ending made me cry. I can't explain it. It just hit home to me. I will share this video with another friend i grew up skateboarding with.

It's always a pleasure to hear Rodney talk. "Through parallax, we bring dimension.".

Rodney is a saint

Just scratching the surface of this deep ancient well called “Mullen”

Thank you for this conversation. Beautiful sentiments. Nurture creativity and encourage failure. Economics plays a role in our progress. Both positive and negative. Innovation needs more accessibility. Much love.

I want to see conversation between Chad Muska and Rodney Mullen. Two nicest and iconic skaters .

I'd pay so much money just to see what he has on his book shelves.

One of the best human beings to ever live. We share a birthday, but I'm 10 years younger. I'm getting over a broken rib from a bad slam right now. People look at me crazy because I not only still skate, but that I still can at my age. I can't wait to see what they say in 10 years when I'm Rodney's age now. All of the tricks I can do are all rooted back to the puzzles Rodney solved for us in the 80's. If there was a humanity hall of fame, Rodney would be the first inductee. Such a beautiful mind and soul.

Rodney was lucky to be recognized for his innovations. But how many misunderstood genius minds still banned in this world?

right off the bat i see you are using Fedora, so theres 2 things i like in this video: Linux and Skateboard lol

Don't worry Rodney, most people still can't do the impossible lol. They do 360 shuv

Aside from enjoying Rodney's perspectives and wisdom, his point on skaters' willingness to fail and keep trying through experimentation is remarkable. I certainly did not think that skateboarding had hardened me so much to failure and my own 'failure' at high level academic levels were so much easier for me to handle perhaps because of skateboarding. In the end, it was worth walking away without 'succeeding' in a Ph.D. because I tried and I tried hard. The whole experience was well worth the failure for everything else I learned along the way. Thanks for all you have contributed to our world, and your inspiration to me as a young isolated skater, Rodney. Wonderful interview.

A skateboard legend.

When Rodney speaks everyone stops and listens.

🔥🔥🔥

Not a single interview with Rodney Mullen has been a disappointment.

Hearing Rodney’s voice brings me peace everytime

yes to Rodney Mullen

Awesome video! Thanks.

Skated for the majority of my life, currently out due to an injury. Within seconds of this video I spot Fedora 40 on your PC! Linux and skateboarding... I'm in my element.
