Im not sure if he was just trying to be humble or if he honestly doesnt realize that he is the best skater ever
@@divinitygaming8673 very different worlds. And street skateboarding is quite a lot bigger now than vert. So influence wise Tony is not were near the same.
I’m not even a skater, but watching Rodney brings tears of happiness and admiration to my eyes. It’s been said time and again, but his style and execution are just otherworldly. Truly an artist.
Thing is, he’d be totally down. Dude is also legendary for being a total sweetheart who will chill with anyone. Facebook is littered with photos of him, chilling with fans all the time. To this day. It’s so cool.
A true testament to the human spirit Rodney. I am now 44 yrs old and I picked out a Veriflex "California" from a military exchange post in Germany as a kid in 1979. My body now reminds me of the goals I set and the perception I quested with many boards including your "Checkers and Skull" freestyle board in 89'. That daily pain also reminds of the freedom those boards and that ambition rewarded me with: a sense of accomplishment, the understanding of the commitment it would have to take to be "Great". Thank you Rodney, from my spirit to yours, you are that living testimonial. Beautiful and well done.
That guy's a living legend - not sure how often such a figure is recognized in other fields before they're gone, but it's true of Mullen for his sport. Great to have him still around, still influencing things.
If Rodney doesn't inspire you to dig deep and discover your own greatness then I don't know what will. Rodeney is the epitome of commitment and perseverance. He is Art is Motion.
This is 4 minutes of straight up CHILLS. Everyone alive today can literally say they’ve seen the greatest skateboarder in human history. This guy just nails the whole blend of imagination and reality. I’m in awe.
The thing about Rodney is not only is he an incredible skater, he's an incredible human being. In 1984, my dad asked Rodney if he could teach me how to skate. My father was a history teacher at PK. Yonge and Rodney was in his history class. He was a senior at that the time and I was in 8th grade. For the next six months after school near the cafeteria and at a place called Sensation Basin, Rodney and I spent hours together skating and doing free style tricks. (I wasn't very good but he was very patient and understanding.) Rodney would practice a lot of these moves for hours at a time. I didn't know at that the time what an incredible opportunity I had. Rodney was in his own world when he would skate, not a lot of talking just laughing and smiling. It's great to see him living out his dreams and what a positive impact he's having in his journey. One of the all time great human beings of our generation.
I mean it's a beautiful video on it's own, but I wish it were a simple part with some slow-mo here and there. I still appreciate it for what it is though.
@@adoboFosho doctor's are pretty horrible these days - opiod epidemic - mis diagonsis every day - Big Pharma drug peddlers is all it takes to be a "doctor."
I realize there is a strong polarization of opinion about the editing in the video, but as someone who has seen Mullen live on more than one occasion since the early 80's, I think the video is beautiful... hear me out.... Back in the day skating was viewed as counter culture and counter productive... lots of people thought it was a waste of time and money, what we "slackers" did with our time. This video shows a level of refined skill and beauty - his mastery of the craft - and it is very difficult for those who still see skating as a waste to deny the elegance. The editing helps it to be much more palatable for those who do not understand it. Understanding is the key to acceptance and positive regard. Personally though, I thoroughly enjoy raw footage with all the blurry moments, edges, and wrinkles, too. Peace.
I don't like the editing because I can't tell what the flip he's doing. I heard him say in an interview that he did a rail 360 shove it to rail in this video, but I can't even tell where it is in the video. I'd like to see it because I've never seen anyone do that before, but I can't because this video sucks.
Who cares if skating was considered counter culture or not? The editing in this video is terrible. The best part about Mullen's tricks are his actual tricks, not some kind of slow-motion blur obscuring everything that actually happens. Heck, the entire video would have been much much better had every trick slowed down to slow motion showing the trick in detail versus whatever crap this video was.
The effects are obstructing his talent and is a disgrace to his fans. Simply put. The ones who have edited and layed effects upon the footage are probably not skaters. You can tell.
I'm surprised there's so "many" who dislike the effects. Personally I think it enhances the whole experience rather than watching just another skate video you've already seen 1000 times. I think I've seen most of these tricks by him already so seeing them again but with these effects and the area he's in just makes it so much better!
+Clint Murphy Rodney saw very skaters ollieing off the quarter pipes and took it to flat. If you watch his interviews, he talks about it several times.
Price Smith He says it to him at the end here ruclips.net/video/Dqd41eYOneo/видео.html But here is part one of the video ruclips.net/video/v2xWBlfr1h0/видео.html I can’t remember too well, but I know he marvels at Rodney’s skating in this video ruclips.net/video/16g227KwNDM/видео.html I’m pretty sure I saw others too : )
800,000 views? I'm sorry I have been an advid skater for a long time. Been a Tony Hawk and Mullen fan for even longer. Played all the video games you can count on one hand. This man right here is Legend with a capital "L" You have invented the tricks that the modern skate boarder to this day uses to better themselves. If it wasn't for you Rodney setting the foundation for us all we wouldn't have the amazing mansion of skateboarding we're sitting on now. I give you all the props in the world my man. 49 years of age and going strong. I love you.
Did you see where he was talking about having to relearn everything because his hip was giving him problems and how he skates switch to what he did before.
@@fademusic1980 @almostkinda He skates "stanceless" now; you can see him talk about this in some of his TEDx presentations. There's no more regular/switch or forwards/backwards for him. Everything is the same in both directions.
The182joe, I agree. This is pure love, dedication, commitment. The rewards are incalculable. Following your passion and bliss will never disappoint you.
Some years later and I don't even know what I clicked to get here but I'm glad cause Rodney is truly a god.. like a forever legend. I miss skating so much :(
A true legend. Him and Tony Hawk are the reasons why most people started to skate in the first place. Brings a tear to my eye. Glad to have you back Rodney.
I met Rodney Mullen in Texas back in the 80’s the fact that he can still skate at the age of 46-47 when they made this Video for VOGUE. They never show it in its entirety, simply for commercial bits only. Mullen is inspiring person a great speaker when zoned in. He express Skateboarding like NO ONE else! Please capture TED Talks and listen to this intelligent artist. Mullen is highly intelligent individual, his awkwardness personality can be read differently. I’m 54 yrs old and I still skate some but he has inspired me to do more not to be held back but to live my craft which is in developing small real estate projects. Love you man 🌅🏁
I am 46 and seeing this inspired me to get back on my board again. I am using google voice to text right now to type this because both of my arms are broken.😞
There are very few people who have the chance to say they truly mastered something. What you have done for one sport, is incomparable to any other pro athlete. A toy manufacturer put wheels on a piece of wood and said “here you can buy this and roll around on it” and for 15 friggin years that’s what people did. Then you sir came along and politely said “This thing can do more than just roll” and unlocked potential in a product that would lead it to become a recognized sports league. You did what no one thought was even possible. Did Lebron James create a new way to bounce a ball? Did tiger woods create a new way to hit a ball with a piece of metal? Did Michael Phelps create a new way to swim? Did Mohammad Ali, may he Rest In Peace, create a new way to use a boxing glove? Did Tom Brady create a new way to throw a football? The resounding answer is no. You single handily created a 2.5 billion dollar sport industry, all by transforming a one use product into something with almost limitless potential. It’s now going to be in the olympics this year. Congratulations to what I truly believe is the greatest Athlete of the past 100 years. Well done, Godspeed Rodney.
i saw him give an interview one time where he talked about some disorder of the muscles and joints (i think that's what it was) that makes him have to do like two hours of incredibly painful stretching before he can skate. he's a hero not only for his artistry and influence, but also for the sheer love he's got for doing it. the dude's just amazing, a true inspiration.
I know some folks don't like the lighting etc but we can find a million videos of Rodney's genius expressed in only the tricks (which are obviously mind-blowing): I loved that the video expressed his artistry above all. If you want to see functional details, you've come to the wrong place; if you want to feel the emotion underneath then welcome. Thumbs up.
Most also don't know that Rodney used to practice his entire run blindfolded. Rodney is one of the best skaters to ever live, period! :-) Almost every trick you see being done today, Rodney was doing it 20 plus years ago and so many making RUclips channels trying to learn how and to attempt to do the tricks he did, Great inspiration for sure!
Wow, Rodney has never ceased to amaze me. I used to skate hard core, I still pick a board from a kid every once in a while and roll around. I love things that spin which is one of the reasons I love building my pulse motors, sometimes using skate wheels as rotors. ⚡️😊
Yo, that kick flip that he did UPSIDE DOWN BALANCING ON ONE HAND THEN DID IT WITH THAT SINGLE HAND AND LANDED BACK ON THE BOARD WITH GRACE ARE YOU F*****G KIDDING ME. There are no words, no words that are worthy of describing Rodneys talent level. Don't bother trying to find the words, they haven't been invented yet.
I guess the better trick for shooting Rodney was just to point your glass at him and not to forget press the record button. This kind of editing itself is astonishing. But the most important part of a trick is knowing when to use it.
Brought me tears of joy. Literally. This is pure skateboarding at it's finest. Never give up. Never tink you're done. Ever. Do your best just for yourself, not for the others standards, vision or beliefs. WTF?!?! Skate is my religion.
I think people dont realize, that Rodney has become skating, not a skateboarder - but one with skating itself, like MJ in basketball or Luciano Pavarotti in opera. Pure art.
that was absolutely amazing! half the flip tricks where done with his knees/legs etc instead of feet, he is an artist on a board. the camera blur effects started to really annoy me by the end though. watching those tricks took me back to my childhood, i actually remember as a kid trying to flip the board and land it sideways with feet on the side of the board/ wheels(i couldnt do it though.. also, sorry dont know what its called) , it was a popular trick back then, times have changed...
El mejor skater del planeta!, cuando toca el skate, automáticamente Dios desciende sobre él, lo posee y es inexplicable como Mullen puede tener la capacidad de hacer todas esas variantes y formas. Sin palabras. Jamás nadie mejor! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Rodney Mullen was a socially awkward kid who grew into a man that changed the world with his views on not just skating but life in general. Rodney Mullen may be the goat of street skating but few realize the impact he's had on the world outside skating. 10/10 human being
Upon the discovery of a youth serum/everlasting life, scientists first priority is to immediately administer it to Rodney Mullen so that he can innovate and progress skating once again to the next level.
Rodney Mullen does things on a skateboard that Albert Einstein couldn't comprehend. His tricks are responsible for so many of my twisted ankles and busted shin's. Best of all time for sure!
there are good skaters, great skaters, legends and then there is rodney mullen. he is on another level.
and as good as he is, he is the most humble skater alive. I was watching one of his public speaking events and one of the first things he says is that he has been skating long enough to to say that there is no "best skater". Im not sure if he was just trying to be humble or if he honestly doesnt realize that he is the best skater ever
Perhaps another planet even

But he will never be Tony Hawk though.

right lol
He is an inspiring human being and the creator of skateboarding as we know it today (street). There is no reason why he shouldnt be trending!
Not really, but nice to see a video for once, amongst thousands, that shows a talented person with shitty mass-porn editing.
everyone's playing Pokemon, blink 182 released a new song, Clinton running for president Tarzans in theatres... What year is it!
What's my age again? :P
the fact that he can do a one arm handstand at 50 years old is amazing enough.

Thing is, he’d be totally down. Dude is also legendary for being a total sweetheart who will chill with anyone. Facebook is littered with photos of him, chilling with fans all the time. To this day. It’s so cool.
Tony Hawk brought me into skating, but Rodney Mullen made me love it!!
I don't skate and I think this man is an artist.
Accurate af
true!
Same here I learned all of his old school flat ground tricks
Rodney doesn’t mess up a trick, the board does
But he doesn't get mad at it because he's the sweetest human being alive

Rodney Mullen at 50 years old still doing tricks even way better than when he was 16 years old. And he’s still inventing new tricks! True legend!
Skateboarding is the purest synergy of body and mind. Its sport, it's art, it's culture.
Five years since i first seen this. yep, still amazing.
No one can surpass this legend, he will truly be carved in history of skating
It's beautiful, how fluid he is with his board.
If ever there was a better example the phrase: "Poetry in Motion" I haven't seen it.
i saw him give an interview one time where he talked about some disorder of the muscles and joints (i think that's what it was) that makes him have to do like two hours of incredibly painful stretching before he can skate. he's a hero not only for his artistry and influence, but also for the sheer love he's got for doing it. the dude's just amazing, a true inspiration.
it was a hip injury where it essentially developed a massive calcium lump. something like that.

1:18 definitely one of the coolest freestyle tricks I've ever seen. I wish he landed that
He probally did landed it but the "artistic" editor decided that him yelling was "cooler" to show.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him land that in his older video parts.
Rick Sanchez Idk but I guess you could call it a truckstand kickflip
Rick Sanchez it’s called a bingo bango wingo wing the Wong numba
dougthealligator Truckstand is "to rail", as you're standing on the trucks. This is an anticasper kickflip.

Legend. Beautifully done, thank you.
There is no better way to present Rodney than this video right here. Probably the best skate video for the best street skater period. Divine really.
wait wtf, how's that even possible, man is a LEGEND
This is why Rodney Mullen is my favorite skater to play as in THPS
THE DUDE IS 50
yeah he's just about 50 and he's doing one handed handstand flips
yeah last week I did 1 hand stand on floor and get my back hurt =P and im only 27
that was absolutely amazing! half the flip tricks where done with his knees/legs etc instead of feet, he is an artist on a board. the camera blur effects started to really annoy me by the end though. watching those tricks took me back to my childhood, i actually remember as a kid trying to flip the board and land it sideways with feet on the side of the board/ wheels(i couldnt do it though.. also, sorry dont know what its called) , it was a popular trick back then, times have changed...
El mejor skater del planeta!, cuando toca el skate, automáticamente Dios desciende sobre él, lo posee y es inexplicable como Mullen puede tener la capacidad de hacer todas esas variantes y formas. Sin palabras. Jamás nadie mejor! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Will forever be my all time favorite skater
thank you rodney. watching you since I was 5. playing as you in all the games. you're the reason I cut lawns to pick buy my first deck. thank you.
Whoever tried Recording Mullen with 360 cameras almost broke through the matrix there.
Skate God. No one will ever come close to this guys skills in skating :) Rodney, u make my heart glow
Robbas what abt nyjah
Rodney's style will forever be timeless, he's the greatest skater on earth as long as he is living.
Way after he is dead, too: there are no skaters even close to his level. Maybe in another 50 years. Who knows.
i nominate 0:42 for the "best superhero landing performed by a non-superhero" category
There’s literally only 1 person in the world you can give a 10x10’ circle and a skateboard- nothing else- and they can make an insane video out of it
Id never paint over that floor. That fingerprint left by Mullen is one of a kind!
He changed the way people do skateboarding he literally invented the street, thats why he always gonna be the #1.
Rodney Mullen was a socially awkward kid who grew into a man that changed the world with his views on not just skating but life in general. Rodney Mullen may be the goat of street skating but few realize the impact he's had on the world outside skating. 10/10 human being
LEGEND... Beautiful as always... Thanks Rodney and Vogue team, such a great video to watch....
this dude is the best. Wish I could say that about the editing
Upon the discovery of a youth serum/everlasting life, scientists first priority is to immediately administer it to Rodney Mullen so that he can innovate and progress skating once again to the next level.
2016.. pokemon, rodney mullen and blink 182 all back on the scene. i was born 1990 :D
the old, but gold!!!
1991. golden times bro =))
***** xD Perfect dark was a very important part of my childhood. XD
Zanny Danny haa bulky shake shoes were my life! funny now skate shoes are the complete opposite now
Zanny Danny pogs and yoyos too. i almost didnt understand what you were saying there lmao!
sick montage and all but as I skateboarder I would like to see the raw footage too
Beautifully put together and shot. Sickening tricks from a legend who is unbelievably still breaking ground. Woah
Rodney Mullen does things on a skateboard that Albert Einstein couldn't comprehend. His tricks are responsible for so many of my twisted ankles and busted shin's. Best of all time for sure!
