Skate crew get in here. Rodney Mullen VS Daewon Song

Mullen is the Simone Biles of Freestyle Skate. AKA GOAT.
 
I would comment because I like some skate thingees, but I'm scared because I'm not really skate crew material.
 
I hung out with those kids but I mostly just sat on mine and smoked reefer



Here is my contribution .... A skate video with a proper soundtrack

Lol same here. I didn't learn to skate until I was about 20, and even then I stick to the longboard. Spent plenty of time around skaters though, I can appreciate talent despite having none myself.
 
Lords of Dogtown FTW. By the way, 99% of skaters just sit in parking lots being annoying asswipes while trying to land 1 clean kick flip all day. The very ramp guys are way more impressive.
 
I'm pretty sure most of you haven't skate for a long time if you're still tripping on Rodney and guys like Giger and Lastra trying to replicate those ugly ass trick.
Do yourself a favor and go watch Mark Suciu Verso or Inhabitat and any shane f$cking oneil part.
Or any atlantic drift video
Also prop for posting fancy lad.

P.s i really feel bad saying this but the only good things that might come out of the covid19 is the cancellation of tokyo2020.
Seriously, F*ck the olympics

I've been keeping up with the current state of skateboarding recently, and while the overall progression since I stopped following it religiously is mind boggling, there are still some tricks/lines Mullen did years ago that I've personally never seen done again.

Impossible to nose manual front-foot impossible out is one that comes to mind. Not to mention the many variations of his casper slides.

Still a good post for those who don't know. Hawk is the name everyone is familiar with but Mullen is the name they should know.

There's a lot more names people should know besides Hawk and Mullen. Despite it's niche appeal, Skateboarding has a pretty decent history to delve into.
 
man, Questionable, VR, Smoke, Trilogy, Goldfish, Mouse, Welcome to Hell.. those videos were all classics.

this still hypes me up to this day just by hearing it

 
Love that Train in Vain from the Clash is playing over Mullens skating.

great choice for music.
 
Ed Templeton.. Jamie Thomas.. Mike Maldonado

epic

Natas and Gonz are street skating. Rodney is amazing, and a really nice guy who contributed a ton of tricks to skating, but it wasn't until later on (Rubbish Heap, Plan B) that he got into street skating. He never had the style and aesthetic that they had. Nothing wrong with that, and i'm not taking away from his obvious contributions, but even by his own admission he was a freestyle guy and it took him quite awhile to transition to street skating.
 
I met Rodney years ago at some event in NJ, I think it was dvs. Seemed like a nice guy. He was doing high ass stationary ollies for a while
