o yea...i look upto this guy...he perfected the craft but we also cant leave out daewon song...
 
definitely appreciated... a lot of that footage was filmed at local spots that me and my buddies also use to skate. me and my buddies use to watch mullen whilehe and his crew were filming then when they were done we skated with him and we always got hooked up with a bunch free stuff. daewon also skates the localskate park once in a while and tears up the bowl. ahh memories of the good ol skating days....
 
Rodney Mullen is crazy on a skateboard.

Definitely appreicated. If you enjoy skateboarding you can't say you don't appreciate what he's done. It's important to give credit wherecredit is due.

I actually saw him walk right past me here in SD during the big "ASR" convention they hold every year.

He walked right past me and I had to do a double take

"Damn thatwas Rodney Mullen."
 
his balance is impecable. (spell check on that)

i bet you if you literally threw a board at his feet he'll find some way to land on it or do some crazy trick
 
If you guys haven't seen it you need to watch the Steve Rocco documentary. It shows how they had to force Rodney to start skating street. The video bringsback a ton of memories for me.
 
Never was a big fan of skating really but ive been watchin him for years. never fails to amaze.
 
One of the best of all time. Is he the best? No. Sure he created all our tricks but that doesn't mean he's the best. James Naismith inventedbasketball. Is he the best of all time? No. Sure he can get ultra tech and freestyle but can he take that down sets and gaps. Being able to get tech down bigstuff sets you apart from other skaters. With that statement, I am going to have to say Eric Koston is the best. Followed by Reynolds, The Gonz, Guy Mariano inno particular order.

Expect P-Rod to be up there soon. Did anybody see Nike SB Nothing but the Truth? One of the best parts of this year easily. Also, anybody else really stoked onLakai Fully Flared.
