Mullen is Mullen, comparing any other skater to him is kinda unfair, coz nobody is gonna compare. Plus, lots of Mullen clips are in slo-mo, so we can see what he does, he flips the board so fast, Slo-mo is the only real way to see whatever fucking insane thing he just did with his board. (Plus, he almost never showed any bail videos. I can only remember 2 clips that showed him no making a trick. 1 with that dog in Globe - Opinion, and at the end of Rodney vs Daewon Round 2.) At normal video speed Mullen doesn't make it look that effortless, coz guess what, that shit ain't easy.

DUDE!!! You are re-inventing skateboarding. Your agility is inasane and your pops and kicks are flawless. I know this take hundreds of tries (as I used to skate too in the 80's and 90's) but I see insane skill. Incredible job. Keep up the commitment. 👍😃👍

Guy is definitely good. The trick at 1:50 is probably my favorite. On the other hand, the whole landing cross legged or pretzel style thing he does a lot of; I know it adds a level of difficulty, but it just doesn't look that cool to me at all. Rodney also just has this crispness and flow to his style that I've never seen replicated. Oh and all the tricks he invented.

For sure some of the most technical fliptricks and manuals I've seen in years. Keep it up, in a few years you'll be doing them as smoothly and elegantly as Rodney

If you can pull of the same tricks as Rodney your an amazing skater. If your doing it at a young age your one to watch out for in the future. This kid is both. Someone will come along that takes skating to a new level. This kid could be on his way to doing just that. When I compare him to Rodney I feel he still has a ways to go.

Jonny Giger I hear ya!!! He has time on his side! I remember seeing a dark side grind for the first time and going nuts over such a trick! I've been sk8ting a long time. Lol I see so much potential in this young man. My eye is on him and the next level of sk8ting is his for the taking if he puts in the work as Rodney has. One out of 30 tries is omg sick for such tricks. For Rodney its like walking at this point in his life at his age, after all the time practicing. Again your boy is on his way. Rodney open a door for skaters like this to walk through and then elevate to a new level. Tell your boy he has a fan of his skating and to keep on keeping on with the path he is on! Possible that in time there will be no comparison at all with Rodney instead we will compare others to him!? Really push him cause I can see from this video he can take it there!

I would love to see Rodney Mullen vs Jonny Giger game of Skate.

Some great modern flatland/street skating footage!

Amazing man

The new 2016 Alex Rademaker vs Jason Park - Round 1

This type of skating is far more entertaining to watch... Kudos to Alex, he's awesome!

His ballerina landings are on point . Late tre flips too. But that ballerina stair ride looks so damn natural.love it guy .dnt ever stop.

This guy is great. He’s only gonna get better. Some more grinds and he’s got it

Throwing out titles like that only pisses people off. Alex looks like a humble guy and probably agrees that it's doing more harm than good. Just let him be who he is and don't oversell it. He's young, don't put him under the spotlight too soon. Just keep showing what he does, people will be amazed enough by the content, there's no need for hyperbolic titles.

Everyone is taking this way too literally. No shit he's not an exact copy of Rodney Mullen. No shit he didn't thrive in the 80s and invent his own flatground tricks. Do I also have to explain that this kid is not 49 years old like a "real" Rodney Mullen would be. Seriously, yall need to take your Rodney Mullen enjoi boards out of your butt holes and realize that this kid's style is pretty much like Rodney's which is rare and refreshing in today's world of skateboarding.

A pleasure to watch for sure.

Amazing skating by Alex.

I gotta say two things. 1. Rodney was and always will be mind blowing. He did stuff that had never been done before. That's the hardest thing; once it's been done, recreating it is much easier. RM will go down as best skater ever. 2. This kid is a f-ing BOSS! Sick skating for sure!
