I forgot just how badass Mullen's really is. Those board slides across the tape side and the side are fucking unreal. Seeing this shit makes me want to grab my fucking board and get bloody on the streets again. I still don't see how he can be so fluid in those kickflips. Badass! Holy shit dude.

Because it was just a still pic, I didn't understand the trick. He was just floating there with only one foot on the board. I was like "how the fuck?"

Street skating pretty much killed freestyle. And it happened to be a pretty sweet transition for Rodney. The boards are a lot smaller now which is what he is accustomed to. That guy is my age (35) and still fucks it up. Fucking prodigy paved the way for flip tricks. He grew up in Gainesville. I heard he was pretty dorky. But also extremely smart. I think he went to Princeton and got his degree in physics. A friend of mine went out with him for a little. She said he was a dork and always sent her skateboard decks. On another note. Jason Lee was also a fucking bad ass.......................... yeah, i owned a freestyle board. it was a pier welender. shit was a lot different from the huge boats they had back in the day. i actually street skated with it (ahead of my time?).

He was on one of those tiny freestyle boards from the 80's - you know, the ones that were like half the size of a regular street board. Badass.
