Incredible interviews with some of the most knowledgable and inspirational people. Hope you enjoy.
@Grayson King I saw a similar post like yours, but it recommended a different InstaApp. Back when I was a kid that was usually the extent of this sort of thing, but I'm glad to see using multiple accounts has caught on. With that said, I used InStapORtAL too and I hacked myself or something. Check it out today!
Why add loud ass music to a beautiful speech? Does your team practice zero quality control after editing? Absolutely ridiculous.
I have a new hero as Jesus 2.0…
Jesus doesn’t only reference hell, he describes it in great detail. He says it is a place of eternal torment (Luke 16:23), of unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43), where the worm does not die (Mark 9:48), where people will gnash their teeth in anguish and regret (Matt. 13:42), and from which there is no return, even to warn loved ones (Luke 16:19-31). He calls hell a place of “outer darkness” (Matt. 25:30),
@@hintoflimetostitochip79782 years later I'm thinking the same thing. Is there a version of this without music? I just feel it takes away from what Rodney is saying.
Rodney Mullen is such a beautiful person. There's few people in this world like him.
There are more people like him than you know, but they are all usually isolated always bettering their craft and not seeking fame or attention for the sake of freedom, progress, and love for their craft.
@@woiowoiow190 No... You're wrong.
@@flatlineoptimism2600 no, he is right
@@armyowens990 nope.

“If there is anything, just find joy in what you do for the sake of it, and then recognize how you are being shaped through in the process. Hopefully you can become a better man through it.”- Rodney Mullen
It's a really great quote. It's the kind of thing you can intellectually grasp but you don't fully understand until you have the perspective of age.
Spoken like a true artist, a true master of his profession
Wow it was in the clip and yet you wanted likes and comments for what people already watched lol
@@nznative8825 lmao why you so salty
@@blueseaturtle6031 lmao why you so salty
Rodney is a Savant' You can hear his passion when he speaks, this is why he cries by the end of most conversations, He also forms pictures with his hands and mind when he speaks, so when he sk8's he truly is creating the art in his mind first, then bringing it to life through his body. This is the definition of a true artist and his canvas is the world, and his brush is the skateboard, there will most likely not be another Rodney Mullen of our time.
Dude, I’ve said the same thing. There’s really no better way to explain it. He truly is an artist.
Very insightful take
Yes, he is phenomenal in more ways than average. Mostly, he's real.
He’s part scientist as well. The way he describes each tiny part of nailing a trick, he stacks tiny parts together until he knows all he has to do is make sure his eyes are on the right spot and his back shoulder is at the proper angle…and the rest does itself.
I agree. If any it might be Andy Anderson. He reminds me a lot about Rodney by the way he thinks about his board and his tricks. Another scientist on the streets.
"When I see people who had success, I see boredom for the most part in them, then I see a tombstone."
That was some heavy shit, DAMN..
He is the only person I have ever seen that actually made his passion his life. Most people including me, just move on to the next hobby. Or they abandon their passion after a while. I’ve never seen his level of passion anywhere. I think he won at life honestly.
I am SOBBING! Watching him explain his process! This man has truly lived.
I'm a freesolo climber and at 37... I did so many amazing climbs... the eiffel tower... the pyramid of kheops... oratoire st-joseph... the old champlain bridge before it gets destroyed... la tour totale..
It goes on and on and on..
When he said "when you land a trick... everything lights up... its crazy.. but its hollow.. it cant drive you"
So many people I love think I am crazy and suicidal or I just want to flex with these amazing pictured we do.... thats not what I want...
They ignore the lifestyle.. the training... countless hours at the gym.. the travels and people you meet along the journey.. the planning behind not being caught or making it as safe.as.possible
Thats exactly what drives me.
Even though he inventened almost every single street trick out there, and is the GOAT, he's the most humble person around. We need more Rodney's in this world!
Its insane that one person invented so many tricks that never existed. Rodney is pure creativity and an inspiring spokesperson for pursuing authentic passion in life
This, and i also think he was in the very first few to come up with the baggy street skater's cloth style, often associate with 90's rap music wich had a huge influence on street skateboarding... even his globe shoes models were pretty stylish. I remember buying his Rms3 model for 130$, wich was very expensive in 1998, the shoes i landed 10 staired 360 flip 😎
I can barely olly today
@@peterluck3154 hard to pinpoint one pro responsible for that I feel like it was just everywhere in 90s culture
This guy's a true artist. I clicked on this because it had so little views. I feel kind of bad for people that miss this video they do themselves a disservice. Legend.
I’m autistic and looking for inspiration on skateboarding and you just motivate me more and more
Autistic here also. Hone in on it. Chase it. Don't let anybody tell you you are too obsessed. Too focussed.
Don't let others define your path.
Take it from me.
Do that and that fire in you will never go out.
The struggle is the process.
Keep on grinding. Never stop.
It's not about the goal it's about the journey
I would say it is more about the process actually. A journey usually ends a process can go on and on and on and it can adapt to changes around just like Mr Godfather Rodney Mullen:)
The fact that he skates alone at the morning without any inspiration makes him think outside of that box that everybody knows and everybody sees .Thats soo interesting bcs he got the full potential of his creativity when he was alone with his passion his skateboard.Its like a baby that no one show him how to talk he just do it like he think it should be .Soooo cool huge respect from that person :)
@Uncle Adolf people is jellous
I will forever be grateful that I lived at the same time as a man such as this.
When he was invited at Tom Bilyeu, at a certain moment Rodney became immensely emotional. In that moment I felt like I have to stop the clip and think about my life for a few minutes. I was thinking what in my life would make me as emotional as he was about the story of his life. Such a brilliant soul!
Outsmart & Outwork I agree with your opinion on his outspoken conviction, .... aside from being at the top of the mountain so to speak; unless your trying to climb it ,...consider yourself lucky. I crave less craziness and normalcy like a vampire craves blood, so unless your chasing something big, consider yourself very lucky.
so what was ur answer
Well thank you. I don't have tp reply to the video because you said it best!
The way he speaks is inspirational, let alone what he has Done. A true legend.
This words brought tears to my eyes
I grew up following this guy.... Always a legend and pioneer in our hearts...
Shit yeah I'd rarely go out for the day with the skater before watching some of his parts (mullen vs song 1 and 2 back in the day for me), got me psyched and set a positive and fun tone for the day.
I absolutely idolized Rodney as a kid. My friends and I studied his tricks like calculous. But I had no idea what he was like as a person. I see now that his deepness and intellect runs parallel. This is amazing.
His energy. His vulnerability. His wisdom.
Very humbling. Listening to this guy.
That's not even watching him skate.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Copernican Revolution 2.0 I love listening to Rodney speak. I feel I learn more from him speaking, than just watching him skate. He opens my mind; loosens my mind. I’m less tense because of his words. It’s okay to be vulnerable and different.
@@takashirose5668 Absolutely!
And thanks for the reminder: vulnerability *is* our power.
It's just that we tend to forget about that..
Copernican Revolution 2.0 the power of vulnerability is the way it brings us together, we get to share that weight with people carrying that same weight, making it lighter.
This interview broke down more walls than my parents, loved ones and people I looked up to have ever had. I don’t know Why I feel so broken in tears right now. Just thinking why I let people defer me for doing was drives me, what I love to do and care nothing about the fam and success it gives me. Why I pushed away the thing that speaks to me and defines me. I hope one day I get to meet him someday. Love you Rodney.
Darkcloud1983 This is good! This is true for so many probably most of us. Look for this yearning. As Mullen says: cultivate it. You probably have to work hard to give it space and priority since your brain is not at all used to it. What it’s all about: it’s intangible.
May you (re)find your piano or harpsichord! And be grateful.
Agree with both of you.
He touches on this issue a bit, society will "tell you" to play it safe. Just keep status quo. Just keep your crown. That's when the fire goes out.
Find that thing that makes you emotional and cultivate it. Appreciate it. Enjoy whatever it is and that it inspires you to no end.
This guy had a huge impact on me and my skateboarding when I was younger, no one will ever top what Rodney did for Skateboarding.
Very well & nicely said 👍🏼
🛹🟰🔝‼️
Come 0:50 I was already tearing up, utterly moved by his words. This man, Rodney Mullen, is one of the two or three human beings I've come across that I could listen to and hear until the End of Time.
Yep. Got me teared up.
"It's not about winning... It's just what you do."
I love him
Great guy trapped under the weight of his own genius - Thank God he was able to express his genius in the physical form - Thank God for Rodney Mullen !
I skated from age 11-19, Rodney was always my favorite. I’m 31 now, haven’t touched a board in over a decade but I still watch his videos, he will always be the GOAT
The guy regarded as the greatest street skater in the world, who has the respect of all skateboarders worldwide, basically says that the admiration that came with his stature was exciting, but ultimately hollow and unfulfilling, and that the satisfaction of accomplishing what he set out to do, and loving every minute of it, even through the hard times, is what really fulfilled him and mattered the most.
Lots of lessons to be learned in that.
Rodney is such a gem. A truly beautiful mind and an incredible inspirational person, who brought skateboarding to another level. I could easily listen to him for hours. He's so humble and peaceful and lighten up something inside each of us. That mentor and friend most people need in life.
I can listen to Rodney talk for ever
I can’t get over how utterly well Rodney Mullen looks. What a picture of pure contentment and vitality. His levels of intrinsic motivation are off the chart - THAT is what brings joy.
At 60 years old I have been skateboarding almost 50 years that is probably the most touching insightful and inspiring interview I have ever seen in my whole life… Tears tears flow flow… Love you Rodney Mullen will never be able to give back to you what you have given to us in skateboarding God bless you and all that you do thank you for your kindness your compassion your mercy your intense humility strength endurance wisdom tenacity integrity and guidance... 🙏Namaste’ 🗽🇺🇸🦅
"You shape it, it shapes you."
Wow...
Rodney Mullen is the best street skater of all time. There's something special about him. When Plan B Questionable came out it blew my mind. I wish I could get another copy of it! It's cool to hear from him what he thinks of his career. So humble, but passionate.
That Plan B trilogi was the shit. 2nd hand smoke
@@mhl4886And Virtual Reality!
Watching him is at times like watching ballet, such precision and control and listening to him is resonates emotionally to the core. Amazing video :)
I met Rodney at an event after he gave a talk. He was once of the nicest, must genuine people I have ever met. I grew up with the Bones Brigade and talking to him about that influence he had on me as a skater back then and watching the Bones Brigade movies and then going out and trying to do those tricks, he was appreciative and honored. I felt like if given the chance he would have kept talking to me for hours. It was a wonderful experience and one I will never forget. I would love to sit down and talk to him again some day!
His wisdoms as deep as the ocean that no one cares to discover.
He speaks with so much intensity! I remember watching him years ago on VHS!! A TRUE PIONEER!!!
He is such a beautiful soul
I got chills listening to this.
It's one the most important things in our personal journeys, not to get caught in what others think is prestigious and worthy of doing, but exactly what Rodney said, find something you want to do just for the sake of it, everything else is always gonna left you hollow.
Find joy in whatever it is you are doing and it'll mould you into the best version of yourself!
the things he say... and the way he say it... it truly feel so right and correct, and wise!!! Gives me calm, for real
You’re one of my childhood hero’s Rodney. Much love bro. Thank you for your insight!
thanks rodney for opening my eyes again, seriously
The Best Techical Skater In The World Rodney Mullen My Inspiration Me Running Skate In Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 1995 To 2008 💪🏽🔥🔥
I once idolized this man. I had no idea he was so deep in thinking about the philosophy of life and so on. I'm actually glad I didn't find this until adulthood so I can really appreciate it. I never did meet my goals of the Casper to 360 flip but I did get pretty good for a while there.. Literally 20 years ago now but I still remember I always used an element centered Featherlite with tensor lows, red bones bearings and extra hard wheels. Those were the days
Rodney Mullen is not only one of the GOATS of skating, but he's also quite intelligent, wise and insightful. What a badass.
He’s not one of the goats, he is the goat, I mean the dude invented the kickflip lol
@@slycarlo8747 dude invented the ollie on the flats - he quite literally invented modern street skating
This interview changed my life. Thank you Rodney
makes me tear up. skateboarding for ever. big up rodney!.
I've watched this around 100 times over the last few years. Thank you for the awesome edit of this interview, your overlaying of music and clips truly make these speeches shine.
You rarely see someone speak so passionately so often this man is a treasure
What an amazing person. Not only was I inspired by his skating but you could just see the passion and enjoyment he got from skating in a lot of his clips. Then you hear what a genuine soft spoken, creative, inspiration and humble guy he is, like in this video and you’re like wow. What a legend you truly are Rodney. Bravo.
When people discriminate you for what ever you do. Just remember you find joy peace and happiness doing it. Even if you not master it to perfection. Love what you're doing, that makes you happy. 😎 And peace out to all the artist. 🤟
I have so much Love and Admiration for Rodney. I can listen to him talk all day. He’s a true hero.
It's exceptionally awesome to hear Rodney talk about the joy of skating and what it makes him and brings him. It makes me really appreciate that I have found something in my life that brings me that kind of peace, listening to him reminds me to cherish it!
Still my favourite quote
"I dont want to belong"
Thank for this Rodney
Beautiful words, beautiful soul and man
Listening to Rodney.. his message contains such raw and profound wisdom. So inspired.
Truly an absolute legend
I could listen to him talk for hours
So inspirational :) God bless him
So sincere, so honoust, so real!respect to you Rodney!so much love!
THPS2 first time I discovered Rod. Watched his reels over and over. Not surprised a poetic skater is a poetic man and based man.
My only hope is that Rodney understands what he has given to myself and other skateboarders like me.His gift to us was showing us through his brilliant innovative skateboarding the things that are possible on a board and giving us the understanding that we can keep taking skateboarding to new levels as individuals so that this great sport continues to progress and stay fresh!!!Thank you,Thank you, THANK YOU Mr.Rodney Mullen!!!!!
Honestly wasn't expecting to see a video from Rodney on your channel, he's such an inspiration!
Needed to hear this one today!
Great Words, an honor to hear them!!!
❤ I wouldn't have understood this when I was 18 as much as I do now at 21 and that's proof I've grown❤ Thankyou Rodney for everything including inspiring me to be more spiritual and faithful
Greatest skateboarder/ person of all time dude just has so much knowledge and has peace and serenity in his life and in his heart. He is a god send. Every skateboarder in the world who finds joy in landing that trick you struggled with for so long owes this man. Much love to Rodney! It wasn't Tony Hawk who made me want to skate it was this guy!! So much talent wish he didn't age man for real the things he could do can do on a board I miss watching his tapes
I'm the same age as Hawk, and I think Rodney is a couple years older, and what Rodney is saying is about remembering that you are doing something because you love it is so important. At 54 I believe that though you always want to be working on something and progressing, that you must also find ways to take life in and find enjoyment with everything you can along the way. In the past I'd bust my as&%, achieve, feel unfulfilled, then sabotage with drink, feel guilty, and start achieving again. Plan and work for tomorrow "while" enjoying today!
Honesty. I can't thank you enough... I stumbled across this, much like I have stumbled for most of my life. This truly opened my eyes .
A truly beautiful soul. Such an inspiration
"I am privileged that I started some tricks" No Rodney, you started all of them.
Pure love... An idol that will never die. An inspiration still at 45 and I started when I was 12. The second week with a plastic banana board I struck my front tooth bad. The dentist had to operate my tooth. After that I knew, it was still worth it it was so worth it. Many broken bones and a healing soul my love for skateboarding will live on til the day I die! Thank you mullen you are the godfather of what I fought for for so many years! Danny/ Sweden.
The passion is godly
A human like Rodney makes you want to remind those you love that you love them and apologize to those you have wronged every time he speaks.
I am so glad and the world is so fortunate that Rodney ended up flourishing rather than in addiction and/or in other destructive outcomes which is what happens to so many brilliant and wonderful humans that don't feel they fit in and struggle at home when they are young.
Thank you Rodney. You and those like you make life significantly less tragic and the day filled with more hope.
Not just love, but life also. Much respect and flowers for the legend.
Simply the best! Thanks Rodney
Thanks guys ... this was a good one!!
Thank you. Thanks a lot for sharing this with our world.
One of the more amazing pieces of insight I've ever heard. If not the most amazing.
I taught Rodney many of the tricks he knows. So glad for his success!!
Absolutely beautiful perspectives
😭 this is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. Been skating since 1988. I admired him back then and can’t believe the power of his words and the impact he has had on us today as skaters, but more importantly as human beings.
A truly wonderful human being!
I wish everyone could listen to rodney and really hear what he is saying, these men impacted my life immensely at 13 years old in 1988, then to watch my kids idolize some of these great people later in life ❤
Great interviewer, too. Listens quietly and intently.
Love this kat so much -- Very big inspiration to me and is more now than when I was a child -- Thanks Mullen for ur words and creative expression 🤟
Wonderful video. Goes far beyond just skateboarding. Take anything you want to do and apply the concept.
WoW - Awesome Cut! Thanks for that!
I wish Rodney would live for ever! You will always be my favorite skateboarder and person!
SO what Rodney's really saying is... "For the greater Good, for what it does for me. It's not the fame or glory, or the temporary highs vs the lows. But to
"remind my self" That
"I Can".
Tears in my eyes !
Truly amazing
This was a good one
Love the man!
Thank you Sir Rodney !!!
i feel him so much in many aspects: I was forced to give up skateboarding and snowboarding because of my broken backbone issues. From a psychologically point of view i think he was to early forced with that pressure from outside (winning contests). It became normal but that kind of performance pressure can be destroy a lot of things for kids and so it cant be normal. To me he sounds kind of sad. I am proud to say i was a part of that way of living for a very long time and so i am proud of had him as a hero and idol.
That was way deeper than I signed up for, but so worth it. This philosophy can be applied to your entire life. Love y'all!
Oh man!!! I could likely go on reading and Thumbs Upping every comment on here, to be sure. Rodney was the shit when I was coming up in the 1980's, and still is! I only learned last year that he is autistic and that made so much sense as to his level of passion and devotion to his craft. He is an amazing and brilliant man! Love you brother!
This man, Rodney Mullen, is one of the most down to earth, humble speaker that I have heard. He is very calm and open.
What a great video! Also extremely glad borrtex is getting the love he deserves.
