Rodney Mullen invented hardflips.

As well as kickflips.

As well as street ollies.

As well as the vast majority of the tricks that we do.

Rodney Mullen can do whatever the fuck he wants however the fuck he wants.

 

I'm aware of this. I started skating in 1989. They still look strange to me.

Haha why does DAO have pictures of you bending over?

I don't think Mullen was autistic just sorta weird and determined and talented.

I was watching old episodes of jackass last night (there was nothing on...) and they had Deawon on for a Carpet Skating bit and he killed it haha. And it was funy it musta been late 90s early 2000s cause he looked wicked goofy (yes I am saying people in the 90s looked goofy.)

I heard Rodney has been in hiding trying to erase his stance.

 

He just doesn't stop evolving.

Danny Way said it best in "Man who Souled the World" He is the gnarliest street skater out there, he may not go the biggest but he is more dedicated than anyone out there.

I couldn't find the exact quote but its something to that effect.

 

I have been calling the weird hard/frontside flips ... folded. Its not proper and cant ever be looking like that.

As if anyone n here hasn't seen pretty much all of this:

The hardflip at 1:52 is what I was looking for. (I'm pretty sure that's a hardlfip. And I will feel so dumb if it isn't.)

And it looks like perfection to me. So I dunno what you are talking about with the weird looking hardflips.

 

1:52 looked like a h flip to me :miamivice:

I've had nothing but respect for Mullen . I did however think Kevin Harris on Powell was a total fag . :lol: I do believe his Father did breakthrough research in finding the Autism gene .

enigmatic you're from illinois?

 

n by the way i heard a good rumor about mullen, heard he was a bio chemist or something like that "in real life."

 

 

 

I remember reading some interview back in the day where he talks about how he loves math and is mad good at it. And how he does mathematical equations in his head to help him figure out tricks.

Dude's kind of a genius, which I'm sure is why he's so good at what he does.
