Rodney Mullen

As a kid I used to skate. I was awful. I enjoyed going up and down the ramps and speeding around the concrete bowls but I never really had the no fear approach that you need to skate. Instead I watched skate videos and this one is probably my favourite. Rodney Mullen is a legend. According to people who know "Mullen is credited with inventing the flatground ollie, the kickflip (originally called the "magic flip") in 1983, the heelflip, the impossible and a long list of other original tricks". Those tricks are the fundamentals of skating...without them it is my type of skateboarding. Anyways, I love this video for three reasons, the first is all the old school tricks he does and the second is the ridiculousness of the tricks and third well....
