- He is widely considered the most influential street skater in the history of the sport, being credited for inventing numerous tricks, including the kickflip, heelflip, impossible, and 360-flip. As a result, he has been called the "Godfather of Street Skateboarding." Mullen also introduced two newly invented tricks in Questionable, the kickflip underflip and the Casper slide.

Rodney's tricks don't make sense even in slow motion. Legendary.
Oof... i thought i was stupid.. 😂
@@alainvosselman9960 And you were right!
Lol I was just thinking the same thing I slowed down one of his tricks to quarter speed and I still couldn’t understand what he had done. It was like a heel flip under flip some sort of thing. But it looked like the board also kind of spun 180° too. I can’t really tell.
the most underrated athlete of all time
But not for Us!
Because skateboarding is underappreciated
He never wanted the spotlight. He just wanted to skate. I heard a interview with him and he said when freestyle became obsolete and he had to move into street skating he had to figure out how to pull off tricks while skating straight. Everything he had done to that point was done basically in a foot area. Of course he pulled it off! He's Rodney Mullen.
Not so...not so.🙂
For some reason watching Rodney Mullen makes me want to cry. It's art
Well said. I think its the frustration of knowing I will never be able to do that but I admire it so much.
@@bodhievel9503 maybe you can its just pure talent
I think it’s because he’s such a pure soul and you don’t ever want anything bad to happen to him.
Same wtf
Same
we have to be really grateful that rodney's spaceship landed on earth
@Blake Egan very
Exactly! Lol!
I can’t stop laughing
Word to the mother plumber. Have you seen his TED talk? He has ascended humanity guy needs to be a world leader.
@@checkmate8015 I’m
G.O.A.T. Nobody comes close then, now, or tomorrow. End of discussion.
Jeff Dimmett Rodney Mullen is to skateboarding is like what Jimi Hendrix did to guitar playing.
I grew up in Gainesville and got to watch Rodney a lot. He is amazing but don't discount what is happening now.
Matt Tomasello is every bit as good as Rodney.
watch?v=c2zIto55QlQ
Keep talking...
Agreed!
obsidianorchids hahahahah matt hahha thanks for the laugh
What Rodney does is Ballet on a skateboard, It's beautiful.
He is one with the board
BTICronox I didn’t know that but I absolutely believe it. He’s an alien with a skateboard.
BTICronox i’ve seen a lot of documentaries on him I don’t need a source, no worries. Lol.
Yes it's like ballet and it is in fact art and, it's reminiscent of ice skating freestyle that I've always loved
@@JaimeJDoesStuff did you catch the part of this documentary where Rodney Mullen is the subject and his board? Lol lol
Imagine being an absolute innovative pioneer and still unmatched 30 years later
Goat 🐐
R B it’s actually crazy when you think about it. Like I think jordan was the GOAT in basketball, but there have been guys who emulated him pretty well, and can do the thins he did
There are tricks Mullen has done that I haven’t seen pulled off as cleanly since he did it 20+ years ago
@@realitities2 The greatest in my eyes for sure.. I've never ever seen anyone do this at 9:05 , that's crazyy
@@mgf909 hoje em dia já fazem mais quem inventou foi Mullen entendeu a ideia..
Ever seen someone do this at 3:49?
Hard to even imagine would modern skateboarding even exist without Mullen. He is and will always be my favourite skateboarder.
It would not.
Nope, he literally changed the world when he did the kickflip
street definitely wouldn't
Not going to say street skating wouldn't have existed without Rodney but it wouldn't have looked anything like what we know it to be.
Good luck playing SKATE with Rodney
He invented all the tricks
Maybe Alexander Rademaker would come close, or Daewon Song.
Monkeyb00y daewon song is definitely the best competition for Rodney
p rod could beat him. So could chris cole. rodney has the best tricks but i don't know if he has them on demand like some of the berric's champions
I think the music is perfect for him & his style.
I've been watching skateboarding all my life, and only just now, 30 years later, are other people starting to enter "mullen land" and truly explore the breadth and depth of skateboarding the way he did. Mullen is to skateboarding what Sir Issac Newton was to physics. He's Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Tesla and Earl Anthony.
prstgsFrags right! The man is a fucking skate god! I loved plenty other skaters back in the day, for their style but mostly sponsors. But this guy was just pure fucking skill...
I know you’re referring to Nicola Tesla, but while we’re on the topic.. young Rodney reminds me of Elon Musk.
and if you observe Max Boot on CNN, Rodney and him both speak with a similar intonation.
I agree with you, but dont call Rodney a child molester.
prstgsFrags But some miles short of entering the Federer zone of sublimity,
The best street skater ever. Grew up watching him as a skater myself. True legend.
Pure insanity. So good.
No. Hes bad
wow Gabriel, good to see you here!! loving your current videos of Turkey
It will be my favorite idol forever! All Brazilian skaters love Rodney Müllen. Here in Brazil, he is called GOD OF SKATE. 18 years ago I was 10 years old. Every day at 4pm I went to the lan house to watch Rodney Müllen's videos. At 5 pm I went out to skate. I kept this routine until I was 25 years old. The only thing that changed was the way of watching the videos. I did this every day, for 15 years. 15 years watching the same videos and training the same tricks. My biggest dream is to meet the God of Skate, but I have no money to travel.
maybe you should be out there, more working then watching skatevideos, so you can achieve your dream:D
@@taxis51lame comment bro
FUN FACT
When Rodney was very young, he pioneered a trick that involved an ollie, followed by a toe flick which rotated the board on its axis by 360 degrees. He named it the "kickflip".
Since then, the vast majority of his tricks have been named by other people, because a single human simply cannot name tricks as quickly as he invents them. To Rodney himself, most of his tricks are still called "y'know, like, it goes like this, and then does a one of these type things...".
Kind of like how Euler discovered so many things in maths that people started to name the proofs after the second person who discovered them.
I heard back in the day supposedly Jason Lee invented the 360 flip. Not sure if it is true.. That was years ago in the late 90s I heard that.. You know the my name is earl and mall rats? A lot of younger people dont know he was a pro skater before acting..
@@Mixwell1983 ya it's funny and sad and funny people dont know who Jason Lee is.
I think he called it the magic flip, and someone else named it the kickflip. I don’t know I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure he called it the magic flip.
Halfs he never named it by himself, his contemporaries like tony hawk, Steve caballero, Steve Rocco etc. started calling it the magic flip. But you are more correct than the original comment.
He just has a profound understanding of the skateboard. It's unreal how amazing he is.
It's massive
Think of the slams he’s taken over the years to achieve this level of skill and technicality!!! 😩😩😩
Well said. He is for real one with the board.
This man was born with a skateboard. Some people just find that one thing they're extraordinary with and some are just extraordinary.
His videos have brought me soo much joy over the years, this just brings back that nostalgia. Truly a legend of the art. We love you Rodney.
As a lifelong skater, I’m so grateful this man exists. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you Mr Mullen. My joy of life comes as a result of your creativity and I will be forever in your debt
The best part is, he’s the most humble guy out there on top of his talent.
Have you noticed how many people at the high point of what ever they do are in fact really humble? Why not being calm and humble when you know you are simply the best ;)
@@jhitbgp1 True, if you are totally focused on your craft then there is no time for ego stuff. Maybe that's what people need to be the best at something :)
Icing on the cake for sure
This is what a master of the craft looks like.
This guy's amazing ! He's like the Rodney Mullen of skateboarding
Rodney, you have no idea how much I cherish your impact on skating and your impact on me. You taught me to be a decent dude and enjoy whatever you want to do, as long as your not hurting others. Simple.....but effective.
You doing heroine and hurting people on a daily basis, why?
@@blokin5039I’m having a hard time understanding how you interpreted that from the comment wtf
Read between the lines..@@yogabbagabba3332
If only he could stay young forever. Not only will he keep pioneering, but also dictating the way forward for skaters. Everything we know is because of him. Best dude ever!
I rarely say this about anyone, but it's in full effect for him - there will never be a second Rodney Mullen.
Big fan from Kerala,India.....huge respect and love .......
It's not just a board for him,,,,but an inevitable organ.....itself.....
Even at 1/4 speed playing, re-watching it over and over, it's insane. Still baffles me on how he does it in full speed and makes it so smooth! People like him honestly make you question whether there is a gift of foresight.
That's just so unreal...
And he's still got it, I'm amazed!
Once you learn you never truly forget, just gotta shake off the cob webs. Repetition was Rodney’s greatest ability. He knew exactly what he was doing when others thought he was insane. In a league of his, the only other skater I hold too a second close is P Rod
Peter Dessaix have you seen Daewon Song?
Still so mind boggling watching this guy do things with a board that seem so impossible. Nobody will ever match his legendary status, absolutely phenomenal.
He makes it look like a different sport than what everyone else is doing. His feet have hand-like control, just unreal.
I just always like that I can show someone who is completely unfamiliar with skating a video of Rodney doing a Casper Slide, and they can immediately appreciate him. That's the sign of a true master of anything.
He is literally a living legend and one of my favorite human beings!
I can't imagine how many times he fell and get up again
Anything that Mullen thought of doing, he then did. This man had the greatest creativity as well as the greatest technical ability.
Today I had the honor to meet Rodney. What a humble guy, he took the time to chat with everybody at the skatepark. He is definitely a great human and a Great skateboard artist!!
my favorite skater!!❤
still have a Skateboard with a deck he used!
These skating videos, including the classics, need to be remastered on Blu-Ray. My vcr died ages ago.
Pay respect for the G.O.A.T 🐐
I cry pretty much every time I watch him. Lots bring me back to vhs and getting stoked for the next vid! Straight magic!
He makes it look so easy, effortlessly. Rodney will always be the king❤
Not many sports have a physical G.O.A.T people always can argue and say oh it's just the era they played in. This man invented moves that people now days can barley do studying all his taps and CZcams tutorials . The one and only true G.O.A.T
Mullen has been my number one favorite skater since I was 8 years old, back in 1992. It was magazines and movie rentals back then. I've seen this footage many times. Never gets old. I'm so grateful for everything this man has put into the skate industry. Much love to Rodney and everyone who has helped him get noticed by the whole world. So grateful for y'all.
I'm so glad to be alive while Rodney is.
Watching Mullen as a young teen made me give up skateboarding. Equally mind blowing and soul crushing. The Greatest Ever.
We are literally just barely seeing more people with Rodney Mullen type skills today.
Its 2020!!
Rodney is timeless!!
I remember having dreams of doing this as a kid. Could never even learn how to ollie after hundreds and hundreds of hours practicing... but all these years later, this still makes me feel like a kid to watch.
I feel the pain and frustration and the hours you spent trying to do that. I am a new skateboarder that has Rodney Mullen to thank to even try. But I have no illusions that I may never get to do anything that I've been inspired by watching him do however I hope you can enjoy your skateboard and fun tricks that you can do and you will learn every day and do cool stuff
Same! I have the worst talent in skateboarding I've ever seen! Years of regular practice and I can't still bloody Ollie!
But skateboarding is life!
My appreciation for skateboarding came from the THPS games.... but watching Rodney Mullen doing a Casper slide blew me the eF away. This guy is skating way outside the box.
The GOAT himself ! Damn i would sit in a garden chair , with beers , amd watch him skate all day !
"Mullen" (noun)
Ability to simultaneously defy physics and gravity at will
gravity's physics you dumbass
@@aiekmeeisnhdye 🤣🤣🤣
Not a noun tho
Adjectives are tricky
Rodney is one of them dudes security guards are like "OK you can skate here just don't break or steal anything" and then they go back to their hut and watch him over the cameras crying tears of joy
Lol😂
That was great and maybe it even happened before haha
He's part of the board, almost like an appendage to him. So naturally done
The evolution of Rodney's pants makes me emotional
Mullen is the godfather of flat and really is the GOAT.
He literally invented half of skateboarding
He is what inspired Tony to do what he does on vert. He is the greatest Skater that will ever be . He invented more tha 80% of the tricks .
@@crosisskebbel3513 So its like the Bruce Lee of skateboarding, just like a lot of people are doing martial arts inspired by Bruce, and Rodney is Bruce Lee of skateboarding
Also the godfather of Vert of u think about it, he created the Ollie and it changed very forever lol
Shout out to the camera men who recorded this master piece
The consistency and ease of his skating style is just phenomenal. This is the talent that is in your blood, if you got it, you got it.
This guy was like literally the inventor of "freestyle"
There are few that come to mind when I think of masters of their craft, but this man is in the top 3
monstro!jamais haverá outro igual...
Eye watering flow. Legendary.
Thanks for uploading this. I can't believe how talented he is
I remember the first Time I saw him on video (World Company videotape I think) I was so amazed, I don’t skate anymore but when you know how hard skateboarding can be, you understand how sick & unreal is tricks are...
I watch Rodney Mullen and it amazes me what he can do, I cant even stand up on a skate board.
This dude totally pioneered the sport as we know it today❤ LOVE my man Rodney 😅
Such memories of my 90's when I started skateboard as a teenager...was such a good time! ....makes me want to cry. Now I am 40 and I still skate and love it. Kickflip forever. Sk8te as long as possible..thank you Rodney for everything you made for the skateboard!
Those were good times. We didn't know how good we had it, so many of these schools, stair sets, handrails etc, iconic skating spots are all long gone.
Rodney should have gotten his own game series. Or at least been in the original TonyHawk.
hes in THPS3 pretty sure hes in others
What? He was in THPS1.
@@joemcbee no he wasn't, he came in from number 2
Hes in the n64 games i played as a kid im 29 was rodney,elissa steamer,andrew Reynolds,geoff rowley,kareem Campbell,tony,bucky lasak i forget the rest was a long time ago
tactical butt sex you forgot Gator and Hasoi....
Rodney is better with a skate board then his own 2 legs
*than
You mean than
Love this man! Soulful and a deep thinker. And his skills, well, they are obvious. Much ♥️ Rodney!
Mullen got such a talent, it looks like magic to me. Unbelievable! And not to forget a big tribute to the cutter!
legend says he is still spinning to this day!
7:59 Jeeeeezzz
It’s now 2022 many years have gone by now but still no one has yet become a master/manipulator of the physics of skateboarding. Rodney’s like some sort of Wizard or Jedi. More than just a genius child prodigy I’m his craft. I hope every skater is still inspired after watching Rodney Mullen and I’m not the only one
Thank you and love you.
I thought magicians used their hands, not their feet?!? Truly amazing. #oneofakind
O DEUS DO SKATE ESTÁ DE VOLTA!
One thing that is so underrated about Rodney’s skating and all of the bones brigade skaters is their style. Other skaters that I’ve seen do insane stuff in many ways just felt like stunts or tricks vs art. Mullen, Hawk, McGill, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero all had style. Stacey Parelta making The Bones Brigade and caring about those dudes is one of the best team leader, coach, mentor, manager, company co owner stories there will ever be.
The first and Greatest flatground Skater alive. Arguably one of the best skaters period.
He is the one to make THPS look remotely close to reality. Simply the best.
I remember playing THPS3 and getting the videos at the end of each skater and being largely underwhelmed. Then this guy comes in with footage like this (including some of this) and my jaw hit the floor.
Legend might be an understatement. Lol. He's the "GOD" of freestyle. Ahah all good tho. Sick video 😎🤘
Thank You Rodney!!
This video is my fav video ever put together. Genuinely thank you to whoever made it. The music, my main homie Mullen, best vibes on the tube right here man 👊💙
I'm 54 years old in January 2020. If there was one person I always wished I could be? It would have been Rodney Mullen. Nuff said.
Just realized we're living in the matrix.
His tricks changed skateboarding forever.
Absolute legend. The God of flatland. Rodney is absolutely the godfather of all flatland specialists. Without him you don't have the tons of tricks evolved from freestyle moves and his crazy innovations. The skaters of his Era are pioneers of the highest regards when it comes to the history of skateboarding. So inspiring
How can anyone dislike this video, he is out of this world. What a talented guy.
Amazing!! & Thank you for still using my music in your videos! I appreciate the Love & support fam! One Love 💙✌️

Nice sound. Thank you so much from Argentina. Rodney Mullen the number one without doubt.
So satisfying watching him skate. He's more comfortable on the board then on his feet. It's great man
Wow, that was really one of the best combined footages I ever saw of him! He is such a great guy,amazing! Thanks for sharing
skateboardings wizard-ninja-jedi-master
No-one does half what he did 30 years back. Unoutmodable. I've just made up a new word for Mullen. 😁
einc70 Mutt probably already iinvented that word haha
Well you can't really create tricks once the book starts to fill up, your comment doesn't make any sense.
Actually there is this kid from Japan who is 15 and world champion and he is a splitting image of Mullen but (in my opinion) Better in many ways!
...what the fuck does "Unoutmodable" mean?
@@ChapmanMain of course there's always an Asian kid that does it better
In one of the video clips, you see a guy in the background impressed and cracking a smile at Rodney doing one of his Casper combinations. It's a moment captured in time that reflects all of our reactions to what Rodney has done and continues to do.
Came here to tell Rodney himself.. if YOU ever read this, bro you are my favorite skate boarder of ALL TIME 🤘🏻I was 5-6 years old when I found you on CZcams and on old Tony Hawk skating video games. Your board work is legendary imo and no one in this world could ever outdo your fancy tricks.. may you live on forever.
Thank you Rodney! As if skating wasn't hard enough already. Primo slides on purpose, consider that a "no".
Rodney is a Jedi
It's like he's making love to the board. If anyone has skated before. And, loves it. There's this like, flow state you get into. Where, it's like your connected to the board, and everything around it. I see this every time I watch Rodney Mullen. That's how you can tell it's real passion for the sport. Beautiful. Pure poetry.
Not just the ricks but his humble approach and self drive are phenomenal!
I dont like seeing any trick that Rodney doesnt land. I like to keep believing he lands every trick 100% of the time.
@Aidan Selvidge that's absolute bullshit.
@@grottphd9090 I mean Rodney basically said that himself i think in his ted talk
@@20000fatman Mullen humility.
@Aidan Selvidge Skill is predicated on talent.
legend has it that he only doesn't land everything 1st try when others are around, in order to give them hope. when he's completely secluded, he lands everything every time.
Whomever got to see him skate in his prime was lucky without knowing it
I imagine they knew it. It's mind-blowing to watch in 2019. It was certainly even more so in the 90's
Could you imagine walking up to this?
No..... they KNOW how lucky they are.
No im aware of how lucky i was
I love seeing baby Rodney :) He is in another dimension.
Rodney Mullen is so amazing! I am so privileged to even see video footage of him!
The LEGEND.
The uploader should replace “LEGEND” with “THE GODFATHER”

The Founding legend God father of Skateing.
Mullen is the man, he can do any kind of skating. Free style, street, rails and the sickest grinds, slides and manuals. 👍👏
Adoro este video , me faz pensar e relembrar muitas coisas , me sinto bem quando eu assisto , traz certas memorias do meu passado , e no skate sem duvida Rodney é melhor ! 👊
