Rodney is a magician and you are a real sport for chasing and nailing all of these super hard tricks. I've never set foot on a skateboard in my life and I still absolutely adore you guys.

Well done man. What a fantastic video going from not being able to do it; to thousands of tries and slowly getting better and better. I watched the whole thing. :)

rodney mullen is that skater you respect not only due to his historical impact and skill in skateboarding, but also that in literally every skate video his clothes look war torn due to the hours hes spent trying to nail his tricks, you feel for his dedication, and now i feel for yours.

Congratulations man! This is the first time I've seen your work. Not only are you an amazing skateboarder, your perseverance is off the charts!

@@benservice6361 you have to overcome your limits if you really care about doing thing you love

I love these videos. I grew up watching Rodney in the 80's/90's and seeing the process of you figuring out tricks I did in fact think were impossible for anyone else. Good on you, it's been a lot of fun and really cool seeing them broken out. You're out there crushing it

First time I ever subscribed and liked because you earned it! Great job!

I have always admired skateboarders. the amount of effort and tries they are willing to put in is crazy. Great job!!

Amazing! This helps to show how good rodney was (is) and how hard he worked to come up with all those tricks

That crazy feeling of relief that it’s finally over rather than excitement for pulling it off…. It truly shows your dedication to overcoming a challenge you’ve set for yourself, no matter how miserable it becomes. You’re a strong man!

Just discovered your page, awesome work! Mullen is my all time favorite ever since the Globe: Opinion set from the early 00'.

Ive been out of the loop for a while, but I was and still am very impressed over your skills and demeanor. :)

It's been 35 years since I stepped on a skateboard but this was an absolute joy to watch, willing you on to pull it off. Much respect, both to you and to Mullen of course.

I was in my mid teens when round 1 came out and we were all blown away. Im older and don't skate now but I showed this to my boys as an example of perseverance. Very well done, your dedication is exemplary. I hope Rodney sees this.

You've opened my eyes with all these Rodney tricks that he is the GOAT, absolute GOAT of skateboarding. Thank you for minting his spirit of skateboarding alive and taking the concepts into new dimensions

Solid video bro, the effort it takes to look effortless

This level of dedication just fills my heart with joy.

Combo'd with the music its like watching one man's slow decent into insanity

That deserved a subscription. Great job homie!

I love how invested i feel watching you. I find myself cheering.

i can't express on words how this video shows exactly how skate is: imagination, hard work, resilience, frustration and joy! you are a beast jonny!

I love how you show the attempts counted! It reminds us all that hard work toward your goals can have a huge feeling of payoff in the end even when it’s far from sight. I struggle with long term gratification so that helps motivate me a lot and I can’t even skateboard! Just in life generally haha. You da man. Thank you for what you do and the beautiful content.

It was awesome how well you documented the struggle of learning a new trick, especially with such a difficult one!

F yeah!!! Loved this bro 💯 watched every minute

The incredible thing is, Rodney makes it look so smooth and easy. Not to diminish Jonny in the slightest, he's an absolute God and I love watching him grind through all of this. Without Jonny it wouldn't give us perspective just how talented Rodney was. It's like, he was so unbelievable that until now it was all beyond our comprehension on just how difficult it truly was even as skateboarders ourselves. And the fact he pioneered it, and grinded at his own goals, often without any outside inspiration. Jonny Giger is not only one of the best skateboarders in the world, but showing us the grind and his personality gives us a whole new appreciation of this art. I love it.

Your perseverance is admirable! You’re becoming one of my personal heroes dude!

Inspirational. Much love homie✌🏽❤️

I think as a former skater myself. Watching people pushing the limits of what can be done on a board will never get old. Great video!

Dude, that was worth the watch, the fact you can get into primo with that kickflip so consistent, really shows you're made for this whole trick line stuff.

Idk if you remember me saying I bought one of your pro models a few months back, but since then, I have landed all sorts of new tricks including rail stall, rolled both ankles (started wearing braces since then), and fallen in love with skateboarding. Thank you for being there to inspire me to try new crazy tricks!

Dedication and hard work always prevails ! Great job I know how hard primos are alone! 100/10 golden stars for you!

Your dedication is inspiring.

That Chopin Prelude makes it so dramatic. Loved it.

I’m sure people say this enough, but you are amazing. I love Rodney, as I’m sure a lot of skaters do. I love your approach, your patience and of course your skill. I think you have what it takes to be one of the best skaters ever, if not already acknowledged. Keep doing it!!! Fantastic

Amazing, all my friends in high-school were obsessed with skate boarding, I remember them watching Rodney mullen montages, cool to see these tricks get re created!!

those kind of videos are insanely inspiring, i'm learning to skate at my 30's, and every time i try a new trick, i'll record it because of you! Hugs from Brazil!
