Never seen someone so comfortable on a board.

[dougkuerschner]

Thank you Rodney for basically every skate board trick ever.

[TheAnimeist]

All these decades later, and that run could still win freestyle contests today.

[johndlc]

The 80s and 90s are the golden era of everything.

[mevinsmiley]

Crazy to think almost 40 years later, this would still win a comp.

[brasstacksboxing]

Best board control ever. There will never be another like him.

[TheAGCteam]

Holy fuck..

This is a whole nother level..

[been_rly_n_paragliding_lately]

His board control is unparalleled, and he did it all with a nearly flat board. The evolution of skating is so interesting, and he's responsible for like 90% of it. Truly one of a kind.

[LVEVL]

This is complete and utter mastery. No skater has ever been as impressive as Mullen. Even people who don’t give a shit about skating are captivated.

A perfectionist, passionately obsessed with skate tricks, this will never happen again in skateboarding, one of a kind.

[coolbrotherf]

The crazy part is how consistent he was. He barely messed up any tricks.

[zenmindstate]

I’m still watching this in 2022 I hope I’m not the only one. Like this up if you still here let’s keep this video alive always.This will always be one of my favourites, one that clearly shows Rodney is a master/manipulator in the Physics of Skateboarding. No one still has yet to master their craft in the same way as Rodney Mullen? Who else has complete board control, creativity and ingenuity to invent and redefine skateboarding, and have more simply just mastered their craft. Man’s a wizard and should be remembered forever when people think of skateboarding.

[Kept]

Rodney Mullen is without a doubt the godfather of street skating

[BLKKING]

I love the fact that an 11 year old video of a 36 year old recording Is still popular today with new age skaters and old school. Skating truly Is versatile

[kasperchristensen]

I love this little statement I found in an article: "If you ask a random person on the street who the greatest skateboarder of all-time is the answer you’re most likely going to get is ‘Tony Hawk.’ But if you ask Tony Hawk, or many of the OGs of skating, who the greatest skater of all time is the answer you’re almost certainly going to get is ‘Rodney Mullen.’"

[PM_kingCB]

Understanding that an Ollie in flat ground had never been done before this man is crazy

[concernedfriend.]

I hope this guy know that in 2022 8.5 million people have watched him do this and every single one of them were amazed.

[kazuhirala]

What’s wild is most people can’t even do a majority of his moves this till this day. Bravo

[kevinyates]

This dude basically invented every flip trick we do today. So much respect and love for his innovation and contribution to skating. He changed the sport forever

[samoinsinno]

in what other sport would a guy from 40 years ago be leaps and bounds better than anyone in the current era? literal absolute legend savant
