Final scene of the Tony Hawk Documentary - Until The Wheels Fall Off featuring Rodney Mullen.

Just loved these final words and couldn't find it online to share so uploaded it myself.
Powerful stuff.

I do not own this footage, it is the property of HBO.

This man inspired almost all skaters in their 30s today. Sitting in my room cutting out magazines to hang up on my wall. Absolute legend

[strider]

Just finished watching the documentary, it was really emotionnal. Also Rodney Mullen is so fucking wise man.

This legit made me tear up. Remembering what skating is to me. Rodney is a beautiful soul

[sarahtonen]

Rodney Mullin inspires me like no other. The joy he feels is unmatched only by his talent, wisdom and humility. He is the Kid that Won't Grow Up. I don't see a lot of grown ups who smile the way he smiles. He is Untouchable.

“”I wish I could relate the intangibles to you..”” 👏🏽👏🏽💯💯

He is the embodiment of unbridled passion. Thank you Rodney

Rodney’s thought process on skating is unlike anything I’ve seen from anyone else before. A true legend, and my favorite clip from the doc.

Mullen is the 🐐.

You have about a 98% chance that the skateboard trick you just learned, he thought it up first.

If everyone had his compassion for life, the world would be a better place.

If we had his work ethic and problem solving skills, we would be teleporting by now.

He’s on another level only of humans can relate to. He is what you wish you could be.

This goes for everything in life not just skateboarding.

Rodney is his own league. I'd go on a limb and even argue that most of the people (me included) don't really comprehend the level he is (or was) at. What an absolute legend.

Until the wheels fall off my man. Rodney Mullen is a legend!

This was my favorite scene from that entire documentary, with when Duane Peters speaks regarding the death of Tony Hawk's dad being a close second. Thanks for posting this.

This is chilling. In every interview I saw of him, the amount of raw passion is palpable. That kind of pure energy is very rare yet very relatable. I believe one thing that maks him stand out so much is the simple fact he kept and nourished his inner child, his undiluted passion. This is something we all relate to, yet, only a small portion of us kept the passion alive.

You could push Rodney out in a wheelchair at 85 and I would still be in line to hear him speak. He built things in skating we all owe an incredible unpayable debt of gratitude. Thank you Rodney. We, as your community, thank you.

I recently watched this doc, and Rodney's clips are epic! Such a profound thinker/speaker! Rodney was really a philospher disguised as a skateboarder! The part that got me was, where he starts, "My guess is that we're all built the same..." all the way to the end.

I can totally relate 100% I’m a retired professional Motocross/Supercross racer…I’ve broken my neck twice, sustained countless concussions, been knocked unconscious multiple times a month _(some months), _ but the second I was healed from injuries, I didn’t want to be right back out there, *I HAD TO BE* there wasn’t any alternative… now I’m almost 40 years-old & that’s a sport where guys I looked up to growing up who hung in there past age 30 David Bailey - Wheelchair, Doug Henry - Wheelchair, Ernesto Fonseca - Wheelchair, Brandon Layton (whom I raced Loretta Lynn’s & Ponca City with/against) - DEAD

[Xric-R]

The truest words ever spoken. Had me all emotional. Those that know, know.

[saifsheikh]

Rodney Mullen is your favorite skaters favorite skater

[toddsjag]

The brother can make me cry just listening to him in an interview… such focused dedication, intelligent, emotionally driven… I’d kill to have a fifth of his skateboarding skills and vocabulary.

[QuillyTheKid]

Rodney is such a wholesome guy. He seems like a guy that would be the greatest friend
