Amazing skateboarding video

[Nohr]

I'm not a big skateboarding fan or anything, but the things this guy (Rodney Mullen apparently) can do is just mind boggling. I got it off Kazaa by searching for 'rodney thps 3', but here's a mirror of it I put up if you prefer.

[MazerRackham]

Wow, that guy is pretty dope. I wish I could skate like that

 

[CubicZirconia]

Holy mo, thats some high-quality skateboarding.

 

[Phuz]

Yes, Mullen is a god.

He is retired now, but he was the best street skater ever. Look for "Rodney Mullen Promo" its from the late 80s I think.


edit, just watched it.. that is some of the promo video.

I met Rodney before. I met him at Carson Elementary school(weird aint it?) in Los Angeles. He skates there about once a month. If you see those tricks in real life, its more breathtaking! He autographed my shirt but I can't find it now, argggg. If I find it, I will take pics of it =)

 

[Ns1]

jeez

too bad they don't show any of the "ate sh!t" takes

 

[duke]

freestylin'

 

[Vic]

Yep, that's Mullen.
He was the GOD of "freestyle" skateboarding back in the '80s. I met him once at the Lloyd Center shopping mall when he did a little demo there back in like '88. Hardly anyone showed up because of bad weather... it was very cool.
