It bothers me that this generation has a lot of guys that rip on Rodney because "his style sucks".... his style is unique by todays standards for sure, but the fact of the matter is he invented half the tricks they try to "steeze out" so I'm going to say he can do it however the fuck he wants. He's one of, if not the, most genuine and passionate people to ever step on a deck and has contributed more to modern street skating than almost anyone. On pure, natural talent Daewon is probably better... but in terms of impact and straight up mastery of skateboarding there's no one that touches Rodney.

Cami I would encourage looking up the definition of pretentious. Dude has interesting, maybe even strange, mannerisms, but I wouldn’t say pretentious in the least.
Rodney is an eccentric genius. He doesn't say things that he thinks will "sound good", he just speaks from his heart, all the time. The reason he sounds so deep and emotional about everything he says, is because he is deep and emotional about his thoughts, at all times. For the godfather of street skating to have that much passion for his craft, his friends, and life in general, knowing who he is as a person is humbling, and reaching his level of compassion and intensity is something I strive to accomplish day after day. Rodney's weird. But, he's the best kind of weird.
@@JReaLBiz86 Very well put and I couldn’t agree more. The only bone of contention is that you referred to Rodney Mullen as the “Godfather of Street Skating.” I consider him more the “Godfather” of Technical Skating. Even considering all he’s done on a skateboard since late 1991, I’ll always think of him as the freestyle skating savant first, then the World Industries first mate, then the born again street skater Plan B darkslider, then the video game avatar, then the skate doc talking head, and finally the TED talking elder statesman. Gonz is the Godfather of Street Skating.
Im from gardena. And he was our local Hero. I still tell people to this day about how I would see him at Tapioca Express and I was starstruck. He would see me and my friends and would call us over to chat and he even gave me a signed board. Still my hero today.
I skated and went to school with Daewon.. Super nice and modest kid back in the days.. He loved to draw dinosaurs. We would walk after lunch and eat candy on the way to class. He is a great inspiration to me and many who grew up in Gardena California. #GardenaGrown
Rodney and Daewon both have such unique and peaceful spirits it’s easy to see why they got along. I really got choked up hearing Rodney tell that story how Everyone left the team but daewon was like I guess it’s just me and you. Yeah that’s a friend and brother that’s blood brother deep man.....
Lol! Came on my phone just to make this comment but seriously tho, nowadays I don't think people realise how much of a big deal Ryan was during those years. You think Nyjah is hyped now? You have no idea. Sheckler was it during the early 2000s. Here's this lil kid that's going bigger than everyone else out there, winning all the comps and getting his dick sucked for a bag of Cheetos. Lol. Then Life of Ryan happened. Nigga fell harder than the boulders Daewon be skating.
@@theren8311 nyjah is a big deal because she used to be a girl and has recently transitioned into a man. Nyjah also benefits from affirmative action. Fortunately, skateboarding evolving into an Olympic sport, can't cry about reparations facing the likes of aurelian and Shane o'neil and all the Brazilian niggaz like Kelvin hoefler and Luan oliviera.
I'm so glad that I got to grow up in the 90s and 2000s era of skating. All these legends set the bar so high that it still hasn't moved. Legendary talent.

That is why many of the earthly miracles have had their genesis in humble surroundings. -Nikola Tesla
I love the relationship between Rodney and Daewon. Both so good and dedicated but so humble. They even take the time to mention the guy they think invented the hard flip instead of just taking credit for it. I love that.
Met him at the Québec city airport back in 2008...i was carrying his luggage and when i told him that i miss the ''DVS Demo'' because of work, he asked me to drop his bag..he opened it and gave me an ALMOST t-shirt... it was crazy! this guy he so kind and respectful! (sorry for grammar..french struggle)
Mullen speaks and we listen. Nobody in the skate world understands the deeper meaning to skating and the friendships it builds than him. Great great doc on Daewon. Thanks to Mullen and the team around this for making this happen. Daewon’s a living legend.
I agree but man there's a lot of insane tech stuff these days. Just in the last few years there's some guys that are really, really impressive from a technical standpoint like Suciu and then there's guys like Jaws that are pushing the limits of how big shit can get, and then there's guys like Joslin and Evan Smith that combine insane technical skill with the gnarly shit and then there's the robots like Shane that stomp everything first try no matter how insane it is and THEN there's the guys like Nyjah who combine all of that and seem bored 5-0'ing a 25 stair or doing straight up video game shit like 270 back lip hollywood high 16. The bar is much, much higher than it was back then but Daewon and Rodney were so far above the bar that it took 15 years for everyone else to catch up. I put Daewon in that same category with Koston and Mullen in that if there was a game of skate to determine the fate of mankind I'm picking one of them because they can first try shit no one else would even think of doing in the first place.
@@moegerms Think about all the flip-in/out shit he does, and the crazy combos he puts together on those ledges. He's got an insane bag of tricks. He's a ledge specialist but that doesn't mean it's all he can do... that's just mostly what we have to skate out east.
There’s something exceedingly touching and profound hearing Rodney speak of Daewon, especially when he mentions how Daewon stuck by him. I think many of us wish we had a friend or person that we can speak so emotionally about, and to have someone speak that way about us. It’s a beautiful thing. 😊
Daewon was the coolest skater I ever met in real life, and its not even close. He used to give us kids stickers, wheels, bearings, etc. and we would go crazy. He even played a game of skate with us at South High School back in the day. LEGEND FOREVER
Rodney is such a legend on his own, hearing how passionate he is about Daewon speaks volumes. Both those guys are icons! Skateboarding in the ‘90’s was so different than it is now, I wish I could go back.
I'm confused. Is this a story of a transgender skateboarder 🛹 or something? I'm even questioning my own sexuality based off watching this shocumentary already. Which side should I choose guy's? Daeone or DaeaotherWon?
Please Transworld, more documentaries on: Gonz, Natas, Heath Kirchart, Steve Rocco, and any other 90s skaters. Such an interesting era of skateboarding
talking about the hardflip "i remember everyone in the parking lot, all the blind guys too, they were all trying to figure it out" LOL taken out of context
When I was a kid my brother and I were skating outside and the neighbors across the street who had just recently moved in saw us and told us their cousin was a professional skater. They came out and gave us a signed Daewon skateboard and 2 autographed photos by Daewon Song. I had no idea who he was but my brother knew of him. Daewon immediately became our favorite skater. My brother and I used to fight over who the board belonged to. Awesome person and his family is awesome, I always think about how generous that was.
He sold dvs for a good bit around '12 I think. I know Tim Gavin (Wolfman went to Girl) started a new company after but I didnt ask if daewon has anything to do with it. I skated with tims nephew, and we got a bunch of gear and swag. I have a few girl decks still. I have an unused WI deck from 98 too.
I love how humble both Rodney & Daewon are. Some people who have skills (in anything, sports, music etc) seem kind of arrogant & full of themselves. But these 2 are genuinely nice & decent people. I admire both of them greatly.
@@jhowardsupporter bro! I have and that is by far one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Lmfao its hilarious I honestly had a hard time believing it was even real. Thats Canada for ya lol
Aloha Daewon, I love you and your skateboarding. It is a GodSending Creation. Keep it up. I am 65 year old woman who just bought me a second hand longboard to try today. What an inspiration you are! Love you. Take care. 💕💕💕💕
Shit is crazy, I'm a 41 year old guy getting teary eyed watching a documentary on one of the best skateboarders in the galaxy while listening to another one of the greatest skateboarders in the galaxy pay homage to him while getting teary eyed as well. Now I'm gonna go meet up with some homies to skate. Thank you skateboarding❤
That's that kind of friend everyone wishes they had....."I guess it's just us ..." I felt that cause if anything 🤧 skateboarding makes you feel welcome I was inspired since 9 by Rodney's and felt in love to skateboarding thanks to Daewon!!! Bless him!!!!! And bless you !!! I am 33 and still skating!!!
After finally getting to watch this today from start to finish I actually got teary eyed, couldn't be a better person. Not to be tha name dropper but years back I spent a week w/Daewon an Jody Morris, skating every day and the old World park at night after jus those 7 days for years after if I saw him he was the nicest most humble dude. Congrats Daewon Song!!
Born in 1987. Started skating in 99. Daewon and Rodney have resonated with me through out my whole adolescence to where im at now as an adult. In a way i felt ive grown with them. They both hold a strong part in my heart and my skating Journey. Wanna thank both of you all for the the video parts though out the years and my life. SKATE FOR LIFE!
Much love to Daewon, one of the best to ever set foot on a board & his humble attitude is something I’ve always admired since I started skating 20 years ago. Thanks for everything brotha, we love you!
He even inspired us skaters way out in Kenya in the 90's! We were so stoked when the Rodney VS Daewon videos came out and someone managed to get a copy there. The dude is still so sick to watch, I thoroughly enjoyed this!
He cracked me up throughout this thing. I wanted the video to cut over to him more. Some good Daniel Castillo moments: 6:18 Kareem said he was black. D'won. 7:49 Shiloh was supposed to be there. Kareem didn't call him. 16:34 27:33 30:12 34:56 39:50
THATS WHATS UP!!! Daewon Song has been an inspiration in skating all around since I was a kid and I appreciate the chance to be an inspired fan for so long. THANKS DAEWON!!!
i never skated much, but have always appreciated the art.. this doc was super inspirational... the ending is mad vibessssssssssssss, very emotional and uplifting at the same time
The 90's had it's perks. No one cared about what we did back then except for other skaters. Most the time we were seen as wasting our lives. Now it's a huge industry that is excepted. Crazy ride
I think the concept of a white power ad surrounding minority skaters would be even more successful in today's climate honestly. The irony would be a lot more easily picked up, and they did mention that the ad was controversial in the video. Probably succeeded more off shock factor than positive attitude towards it.
different times different vibes, the 90's was "the end of history" everyone was in some delusional bubble after the fall of the soviet union until 9/11
I met Daewon at a demo in 94 or 95 and he could not have been nicer. He sat with us and just talked. At the time he was an amazing skater. I had no idea that he would become arguably the best skater ever. I know most people give that credit to Rodney, who was also incredibly nice every time I met him as well as the most innovative, but Daewon transcended to a whole new level.
Rodney and deawon are a prime example of what skateboarding is all about. just enjoying it with people you love and pushing yourself and each other. I'm lucky to have grown uo watching these guys skate and progress. I remember going to blockbuster as a kid and getting the 411vm tapes and all the other videos my parents would get me.
You have been such an inspiration to my son. Thank you for all you have done for him. And it's an honor to have both of you the founders of ThankYouSkate.
I remember seeing Daewon’s parts play on the Zumiez TV when I was in middle and just freaking out. A absolute legend. Thank you for your contribution Daewon
Dae changed my perspective on tricks and certain spots and millions of more youngins worldwide he definitely needs a damn Oscar or a lifetime achievement 😭 A Real Leader and shot caller period 💯 You lil boys better up on game literally

He's like a god that doesn't know he's a god.
seems like a serial killer
His skating is rough and smooth at the same time.
A true artist.
The way Rodney expresses himself at Daewong is so ineffable. Almost cry.

He's super intelligent & definitley on the spectrum. Such a humble, thoughtful, talented legend. :D

He is the ONLY celeb I'd like to meet. THE ONLY ONE. I don't have heroes. Rodney is really inspiring though.
you hear it in his voice
Whenever Rodney speaks, he really talks with so much passion and power. The dude makes me want to cry.
Same. It’s so touching, seeing how much he really cares about Daewon. I remember being in middle school seeing the VHS where they battled each other.

Grew up loving Daewon/Mullen! They are are the best!
Daewon was my favorite skater growing up. The tables... LEGENDARY. His style was the definition of cool.
Daewon's syle is effortless. He's so smooth and makes everything look so simple. Like he's not even trying. The man is a legend.
This video Literally made my entire shitty week worth living through
Hang in there buddy. Great things are to come!
ZOZO you got this man. When life gets you down toughen up that chin and walk away with your head held high.
I love how humble both Rodney & Daewon are. Some people who have skills (in anything, sports, music etc) seem kind of arrogant & full of themselves. But these 2 are genuinely nice & decent people. I admire both of them greatly.
Those who disliked this video clearly gat no dam clue of who this great man is and what hes done for skateboarding.... Respect
This is one of the best documentaries i've seen in a while
have you seen Carts Of Darkness?
@@jhowardsupporter bro! I have and that is by far one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Lmfao its hilarious I honestly had a hard time believing it was even real. Thats Canada for ya lol
Aloha Daewon, I love you and your skateboarding. It is a GodSending Creation. Keep it up. I am 65 year old woman who just bought me a second hand longboard to try today. What an inspiration you are! Love you. Take care. 💕💕💕💕
Gonz always has the best advice for how to skate... so simple but so true. That Torey tail slide xD Fuck yeah Daewon... legend.
Oh yeah! That tail slide hahaha :D That was gold!!!!
I’d love a Marc johnson doc.
petersusia1 MJ could still put out a fully flared part today.
@@capo_di_capi MJ's fully flared is one of the most beautiful parts ever filmed.
Just watch his nine club, its like 3 hours long.
Please do an MJ one. It will be gold
Vice skateboarding Marc johnson did one .
ABSOLUTE LEGEND This Guy. Everyday is Daewon to keep advancing.
Shit is crazy, I'm a 41 year old guy getting teary eyed watching a documentary on one of the best skateboarders in the galaxy while listening to another one of the greatest skateboarders in the galaxy pay homage to him while getting teary eyed as well. Now I'm gonna go meet up with some homies to skate. Thank you skateboarding❤
35 years skateboarding has been a part of my life and no one has ever been more fun to watch than Daewon.
rodney and daewon are my childhood heros!
That's that kind of friend everyone wishes they had....."I guess it's just us ..." I felt that cause if anything 🤧 skateboarding makes you feel welcome I was inspired since 9 by Rodney's and felt in love to skateboarding thanks to Daewon!!! Bless him!!!!! And bless you !!! I am 33 and still skating!!!
After finally getting to watch this today from start to finish I actually got teary eyed, couldn't be a better person. Not to be tha name dropper but years back I spent a week w/Daewon an Jody Morris, skating every day and the old World park at night after jus those 7 days for years after if I saw him he was the nicest most humble dude. Congrats Daewon Song!!
I stopped skating about 9 years ago... Was a massive fan of Daewon when I was a kid. This video has me wanting to get back on a board again.
I love Daewon's spirit when he gaps roof to roof. He is a master of obstacles.
Born in 1987. Started skating in 99.
Daewon and Rodney have resonated with me through out my whole adolescence to where im at now as an adult. In a way i felt ive grown with them.
They both hold a strong part in my heart and my skating Journey. Wanna thank both of you all for the the video parts though out the years and my life.
SKATE FOR LIFE!
SOMEONE NEEDS TO RE-EDIT THAT TRILOGY PART THE INTENDED SONG
do it for you man, that part is history now. Edited as it was.
Maybe then was an error, now is history.
Which tribe track was it at the premier?
@@dustinstoner6195 i think they meant the tribe track was replaced right before the premier
[AVHD] yeah... a historical error. 🤦🏻♂️
I'm so stoked to have met Daewon at town park.
So glad I grew up watching daewon and rodney and all them other 90s skaters.
“well... i guess it’s just us”
choked up when rodney said that. a true testament to the legend named daewon.
don’t ever change.
He gave me his old skateboard outside of 9-star after a skate demo YEARS ago. Still my favorite skater.
Mullen and song has me in the feels, dang....More respect than what I already have for them
Much love to Daewon, one of the best to ever set foot on a board & his humble attitude is something I’ve always admired since I started skating 20 years ago. Thanks for everything brotha, we love you!
He even inspired us skaters way out in Kenya in the 90's! We were so stoked when the Rodney VS Daewon videos came out and someone managed to get a copy there. The dude is still so sick to watch, I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Daewon is more tech in real life than I can achieve with my imagination
well put
That was really magnificent. Skateboarding loves Daewon.
At a time where very few things in the world move me, I came back to this and shed a few tears. Thank you.
Watching this made me feel like I was back in the nineties! He’s the man! Song vs Mullen will always be one of the greatest vids ever!!!!
The t puds long ass tail slide part of this documentary was too much for me 😂😂😂
Rodney and Daewon are some of the most genuine spirits ever and I’m glad they found each other; they're the Jordan and Pippen of skating
"daewon, what's up? you're skater of the year!"
"what? are you sure?"
"yeah you want me to give it to Sheckler?"
"no no no no" LMAO
Classic phelper... 💯❤️
He only said "no" once which was actually funnier.
Daniel Castillo is so funny man XDD "He can get a cover with skating a leaf" I died right there
He cracked me up throughout this thing. I wanted the video to cut over to him more. Some good Daniel Castillo moments:
6:18 Kareem said he was black. D'won.
7:49 Shiloh was supposed to be there. Kareem didn't call him.
16:34
27:33
30:12
34:56
39:50
This is an amazing documentary. I just hate that I was 3 years late in watching it. This is gold
22:50
"I think they should do more of that"
C'mon guys, Rodney vs. Daewon round 4! Gonz says so!
Wouldn't be an Almost video though... however they could do Almost Vs Thank You - Round 1
THATS WHATS UP!!!
Daewon Song has been an inspiration in skating all around since I was a kid and I appreciate the chance to be an inspired fan for so long.
THANKS DAEWON!!!
Daewon and Rodney are the most genuine kind hearted people I’ve ever watched. Amazing documentary.
Thanks Transworld & thank you Daewon. Your physical mag may be gone, but I'm glad your still putting out gems like this.
i never skated much, but have always appreciated the art.. this doc was super inspirational... the ending is mad vibessssssssssssss, very emotional and uplifting at the same time
Rodney: “just like I invented *some* flat ground tricks- whatever.”
it’s pretty whatever
Go to heck butters
Ha that white power ad was a clever idea. Not sure it would fly today
The 90's had it's perks. No one cared about what we did back then except for other skaters. Most the time we were seen as wasting our lives. Now it's a huge industry that is excepted. Crazy ride
Yeah it wouldn’t but I’d still do it! Because it would be real deal attention to whatever your speaking on. But I wouldn’t use it lightly at all.
@Mike Studmuffin thats not how that went at all.
I think the concept of a white power ad surrounding minority skaters would be even more successful in today's climate honestly. The irony would be a lot more easily picked up, and they did mention that the ad was controversial in the video. Probably succeeded more off shock factor than positive attitude towards it.
different times different vibes, the 90's was "the end of history"
everyone was in some delusional bubble after the fall of the soviet union until 9/11
Legendary. Thank you Transworld.....thank you Daewon!
I met Daewon at a demo in 94 or 95 and he could not have been nicer. He sat with us and just talked. At the time he was an amazing skater. I had no idea that he would become arguably the best skater ever. I know most people give that credit to Rodney, who was also incredibly nice every time I met him as well as the most innovative, but Daewon transcended to a whole new level.
I've watched this video so many times... great job Transworld!
utmost respect for how much he has contributed to skateboarding.Daewon is like one of the best out there,a really unique guy
Rodney and deawon are a prime example of what skateboarding is all about. just enjoying it with people you love and pushing yourself and each other. I'm lucky to have grown uo watching these guys skate and progress. I remember going to blockbuster as a kid and getting the 411vm tapes and all the other videos my parents would get me.
i think we can all find a piece of ourselves in this legend.
This video has been perfect during this COVID19. Skate on!
Wow this covid shit has been going for more than 5 months.... Damn, If it goes a year then ill take the conspiracy more serious.
@@dizzychizzy1 and this hoax is still going on..
You are an idiot
You have been such an inspiration to my son. Thank you for all you have done for him. And it's an honor to have both of you the founders of ThankYouSkate.
Rodney says it all: "yeah I get choked up because there's no one I'm more proud to be associated with".
And I get choked up now.
This bores me... lets put this picnic tables on the roof.
Ok Daewon
Roof top living
+
Gil Flavah
Roof tops are the picnic tables natural environment aren't they?
Maybe we need a documentary on the secret lives of Picnic Tables.
Could you imagine eating shit . Daewon makes it look easy .
mysterlune lol its ok :) just remember its not too late to delete a reply. :)
@@gilflavah9686 ha! my bad. misread your initial comment. but i get it now, lol.
Rodney & Daewon most technical skaters in history . So fun to watch them !
I remember seeing Daewon’s parts play on the Zumiez TV when I was in middle and just freaking out. A absolute legend. Thank you for your contribution Daewon
"Guess it's just us Rod"
Crazy, man. Great documentary.
You guys are awesome. Long Island 80'S SKATER living in Claremont San Diego now still skating at 48 skate 4 life....
Dae changed my perspective on tricks and certain spots and millions of more youngins worldwide he definitely needs a damn Oscar or a lifetime achievement 😭 A Real Leader and shot caller period 💯 You lil boys better up on game literally

Sucks we live in a world people would give this a thumbs down. Thank you for making this loved it made me think of the good old days ...

And thank you Rodney for being the purest soul in the world!
