In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
this guy's voice is so gentle its crazy.
"...the biggest obstacle to creativity is breaking through the barrier of disbelief."
He is the skateboarding equivalent of Bruce Lee. Such a legend.
Little known fact about rodney mullen. This guy was a genius on and off the board, even when he traveled for skating trips he was always studying some book or doing some homework. All the other guys thought he was weird because while they would drink and smoke inbetween shots, rodney would have his head in a math book doing problems. What a genius.
I've been skating for about 33 years. I nearly died in a fatal car crash, my leg was badly broken. The femur was shattered and smashed into my pelvis and there was some nerve damage causing my foot to be a little limp. It's my left leg and front foot on the board being natural. Also loads of scar tissue locking everything up. It's been 5 years since my crash and I'm still getting better at skateboarding everyday. My goal is to ollie again. Thanks for this Rodney!
his hair is so darn cool
Honestly.. i didn't expect much besides some goofing around and some stupid "mastering a skateboard means mastering everything" metaphors. I only paid like 50% attention to the video. Then i thought.. wait a second. That actually sounds interessting. I stopped playing my game, watched it again from the start and now i feel like this is one of the best Ted Talks i've ever heard. Definately top 10. Amazing. My hat is off! Huge respect!
I suffer from PTSD from my time in the Marine Corps. This really helped today. Thank you. Back on the board.
how humble is he, beautiful man id love to meet him one day
Rodney Mullen is one of the most intense speakers I've ever listened to. Every word he says feels incredibly deliberate. He's also a fucking genius and the best skater I've ever seen.

Rodney Mullen was my Very first Inspiration in Skateboarding.
I could watch Rodney's TED Talks all night long, very inspiring.
As an artist, this hit me pretty good:
“He didn’t learn how to do it through the video, he learned that it could be done.”
Well, there's 18 minutes of my life that I'm never going to... regret.
Shoutout to this comment section, in my the ten years on RUclips, I've never seen such a positive comment section, with basically all comments having multiple likes, props world🤘
Watched this 100s of times, still brings a tear to my eye
I don't know if its his voice but this guy hits a nerve. I am just going through a break up and what he says resonates with me. Its about getting back up. Its what molds us. A sword cannot be made perfect unless you hammer it a few thousand times.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." Michael Jordan
