This was one of my first skate vids, watched it literally about 100 times 20-25 years ago. Those ledge tricks he does could score like 9s in street league today. Even minus the casper/darkslide stuff any pro would be happy to have those tricks in there video parts in 2018.

It's not like that, it is that. Skateboarding is certainly a high art, a physical art like dancing. That's why I got into skating in 96-96. It was because of the whole counter culture, artistic side, the graphics on the boards. It has a sport, competition side to it that has become increasingly dominant agains.

Those Casper’s tho... Magical.

The fucking anti casper slides? Like oh casper slides aren't hard enough huh? Let's do something that seems like shouldn't even work. In fact it doesn't fucking work only he can do it because he is a fucking wizard or something who can manipulate matter at will if it is made out of wood has metal trucks and 4 wheels. Like WTF?

was just reading an interview where rodney said that a guy came up to him after the premier of this and told him he liked his part even though other people were laughing at it. i literally cannot imagine laughing at a rodney mullen part, much less at the premier, the gatekeeping and culture of what tricks are "cool" or not is just cancer through and through

Like a lot of people, I'm sure, I unlocked that Rodney video in THPS 2 & just "well, my life has been altered. " got a board & started learning tricks ASAP. Fucked up my ankles back when I was 23 & had to give it up. Still love it though. Still love watching Rodney vids. I'm dating myself here, but I remember hearing a commentator during a baseball game describe Ken Griffey Jr. as having "the perfect swing - just an extension of himself." That's what watching Rodney parts are like - this beautifully insane run of moves, and like one comment on here said, it's done with the ease of as though he's just on a morning commute. Big "but for me, it was Tuesday" energy but in a nice way. Sorry, I'm loopy - should be asleep. Anyone who reads this, have a great day & if you can: get out and skate! Injuries and all, still have fond memories of just getting out and pushing thru parking lots and such. :)

Incredible part. It'll forever hold up.

no one can defeated rodney mullen

Doing a switch inward heel nose manual in 1994 is insane. It's insane now!

Switch tre noseslide is underrated. The backside 180 casper slide is ridiculous.

Still #1 skater of all time hands down

0:24 the half cab impossible is such an amazing looking trick, I could watch it on loop and never get bored

Cool video. Absolute favorite part is when he's rolling down the street just shredding every obstacle he sees, like that's how his average ride to school or work or whatever was. He's personifying the lyrics talking about "dreaming until the dream comes true", it's fucking awesome.

The chief, the muska, the boss, and koston all deserve it, but Rodney is the all-time goat of skateboarding

The Godfather of skateboarding. I've seen a lot of this footage from ON video, but damn is this a good part. It might be favorite from his for the song and the fact that the skating is pretty modern and 30 years old. I came into skating at the tail end of the this 90s, 1st street wave + Golden Era, 1997. I could've been there for more of it. I was skating in the early to mid 90s I was just barely aware of the culture. Only my older neighbor skated (it was extremely rare back then) and I literally took skateboarding books out of the library lol. So, I was aware of Tony Hawk and Rodney as Bone Brigades members. I'm not that old though.

he was skating at my old Jr high school, Roosevelt Jr high in San Diego. well at least a large portion of the video..

Damn, I just realized his style in this part is amazingly good. I've always been a huge Mullen fan, but he has such an idiosyncratic style that I personally was never super into, although I appreciate it. But his style here is something a guy like me-- who still daydreams about the style of guys like Tom Penny and Kareem Campbell as an old man, haha-- can totally dig; that backside flip at the beginning of his street section is one of the best I've ever seen on video, just an impeccable backside flip. Well, he invented them, so no wonder he'd be the one to show how it should be done. And that first kickflip down the stairs looked super good, too; that was always one of my favorite Mullen tricks because he was never the big stairs or gap dude, but he got extra gnarly on this part. Hard to say if this is my favorite Mullen part because they're all so good, but it might be just on style alone; style is everything in skateboarding, as far as I'm concerned (although tricks are definitely a big part of it too, haha).

Here 2022!

2:07 shots like this is why i collect old camcorders. The extremely fast zoom lenses that these CONSUMER camcorders had, no dslr lens can compare. No darkening when you zoom in, and you can zoom till the end of humanity! Fast zooming can really make shots pop! Before you would just see a ollie down a stairset, nothing special.
