The Hardest Skateboard Trick of Rodney Mullen

The Hardest Skateboard Trick

Riding Culture:

[TheWhyer]

To finally land a trick after 1400 tries and then not be satisfied because it wasn't clean enough and try 100 more times is peak Jonny

I'm a teacher in Australia (high school) and our Friday life skill's lesson is about failing and perseverance, last year I showed Tony Hawk completing a 900 for the first time, Friday I'll be showing this video..
Nice one dude...

It's hard to overstate how influential Mullen was, he changed street skating so many times. He is to freestyle what Hawk is to vert.

[CS-iqxn]

The consistency with which he can get into a primo slide alone is insane

[TKiBoule]

I'm most impressed by the fact that you can do 1500 tries without any ankle injury during the process, wow dude

[nickrails]

Man its been 20 years since I watched a skating video, and probably 25 years since I last got on a board. Got quite emotional watching this, as humans can achieve such beautiful things

[LilBoyHexley]

I just find it impressive how totally consistent Jonny's kickflip primo was at this point.

[BKfrmthaZoo]

johnny deserves so much love he is one of the most technical skaters around and never fails to impress the world

[treatb]

The fact he can kickflip into primo 1500 times in a row is impressive

Jonny is self-crafting himself into a skate legend. True Practitioner.

[Jack_Vane]

1500 attempts.1500!! That is dedication and perseverance personified. Incredible work once again. Fair play dude.

[Purpmaster]

I genuinely felt relieved when you made the second downward section more of a solid surface. The warping was driving me crazy and I’m sure making it much more difficult

[uum]

As a non-skater, I always think, "Can I really watch so many attempts of one guy with just one trick?" Yes, I absolutely never regret it. Mesmerizing and eye-opening stuff, man.

[alexwiggs]

I remember watching all the skate videos in Tony Hawk's pro skater and feeling like Mullen was god tier. Sure others could ollie over crazy obstacles or do crazy spins on vert, but Mullen was a straight up sorcerer with his board.

[ThirteenMusic]

This is so sick dude - not often you see honest videos of people trying and failing pushing themselves to achieve a goal. The level of effort and dedication you put into doing this is as impressive if not more so than landing the trick.

[chrisl]

You're starting to look like the Albert Einstein of skateboarding.

[datguy]

I'm not even a skateboarder but I am subscribing because this is the type of will and determination I am trying to get back into my life. 1400 attempts at something and still want to do it better. You are a perfectionist with an "I will" attitude and I love that. Easiest subscription I've handed out. Peace and love. I will be watching much more skateboarding.

[gregxcelente]

I think because he makes this looks relatively easy, people dont realize how exhausting and difficult it is trying to even come close to articulating these moves.

[Shezmen]

You kick ass dude, this is so inspiring!

[MrMeattball]

This video really makes me wonder how long it took Rodney to land this trick. You had video evidence it was possible and it still took 1400 tries. Rodney would’ve been driven by nothing but the idea he could do it. Such insane skill he has.
