How can you not love this guy? Met him about 24 yrs ago and he was just as cool. I really wish I still had the hat he signed that day just cuz. What an inspiration
"Success is Illusive" Holy Shit... Coming from the greatest skater alive. You can't shake this man's faith, he is the God of skating. I think what he is teaching these kids is to be Sincere in what you want in life. Don't chase after fame or money. Just do what you love doing, and it comes to you.
he really is a monk...no reason in bothering to express myself on this matter, his words grounded every aspect of it, his beauty is enough to motivate for lifetimes
Rodney mullen ! I also love to skate . My passion for skateboarding is great . I want this sport to live on forever ! You will be remembered as one of the greatest skateboarders that ever lived . You are my favorite skater out of all of them , because of your STYLE ! It was all magic to me . How did you do that ? WoW ! So cool *
respected him back in the 80s and still in 2010s. i hope to meet him oneday...just like i met lance at paulo diaz house. we create portals. lifted state seeks most important questioning=philosophy. Rodney thanks for being a positive role model. bles you
rodney mullen is the fuckin man ! hes like a skate guru , master or something. i met him in niagara falls one year and got to shake his hand , and he really has this awesome energy that totally surrounds him. these wise words of wisdom that he shared in this video inspires me to never stop skating and to see what skateboarding is really about . thank you Rodney! skateboarding is forever
Oh my gosh. He is such a wise and articulate man. It's interesting to see him now after all the fame and fortune.. it all means nothing to him. He's just a man doing what he loves most in life, and he'd still be doing this even if he was a complete failure, just because he loves doing it.
Rodney is the reason I wanted to skate all day every day, and I could listen to him talk all day. He's so controled and humble, and thinks out his answers and uses very good words to describe what he wants to get acrossed. You're my hero Rodney.
dang rodney seems so humble kind and mellow. i would love to meet him one day not for skating but to listen to his stories, advice and guidance. just the way he talks is calming.
i honestly now have a different opinion of him now. ive only watched him skate, never heard him talk. but i can now say he is the most humble and the nicest, most honest person that will ever live
He's achieved more in his life than I ever will in mine, so I have massive respect for him. I still think he's a little nuts though but he's clearly highly intelligent!
....Because I just skate, I just love to skate. A motto for all skateboarders, new, veteran, young, old, male ,female,street, vert, freestyle, longboard. You found a passion on 4 wheels and that's all that matters.
..... "I see so many people, with so much talent, and all these attributes I wish I had. And then they get what they want, whether it be money, or fame, or whatever it is that they idealize; that "that's it for me". And then it just stops. They won't run, they won't chase anymore. It somehow robs them of they joy that they had, of doing what they did.... What am I without contests? To be number one, is that important? No it's not important, because I just skate. I just love to skate.
ive been feelin the same way with music/guitar and skateboarding fed up of all the competitiveness to be good and constant judging man i wanna do my thing
i'm not really into skateboarding but this man's words are very uplifting and cerebral. Rodney, if u ever read this... thank you

Rodney didn't teach me how to skateboard, he taught me how to live.
The board is no longer an object, it is his spirit, and so it never leaves his feet.
