      Yea. I mean Tony did a fantastic job getting skateboarding noticed. But Rodney took it up another notch with all the creative off the wall tricks. Tony is a legend and probably the greatest ever on a vert. And Rodney is i don't even know what to say he is lmao. His balance and control is second to none
