PROFILE OF THE MASTER OF SKATEBOARDS
Rodney Mullen!!!That`s the name of my IDOL and favourite skater!For me he`s the best guy ever skated on this planet...I`m skateboarding and I have seen many tricks done by different skaters,but I`ve never seen such a great style and technique.The guy kickz azz...He has invented almost every trick done by the young generation of skateboarders.He does such a complexive tricks like CASPER SLIDE 360 FLIP OUT;HEELFLIP DARKSLIDE;a vary of CROOKED GRINDS;UNDERFLIPS and such a great free style tricks that many of today`s skaters have never seen...
A LITTLE BIT HISTORY...
Rodney started skateboarding as he was
10...It was the day after NEW YEARS night when he became his first deck.His
father who was a doctor didn`t want his son to skate because he knew that the
sport is risky ,but he promised him a deck and when he woke up on JANUARY 1st.
1971 he couldn`t go back...And so Rodney started skateboarding in his hometown
Gainsvill,FL. He turned to a pro for the POWELL PERALTA team and was one of the
free style skaters in the team. He skated in the infamous BONES BRIGADE with
some great skateboarders like TONY HAWK,STEVE CABALLERO,MIKE McGILL and PER
WELINDER
!!! Rodney was the greatest name in freestyle(flatland) skateboarding by this
time.He won the freestyle championship 35 times and was simply the best.He was
really creative and invented many tricks.That was ofcourse seen by the guys from
PLAN+B and so in the `90 Rodney entered the TEAM.He was again skating among
great skateboarders who dictated the mode by this time.In 1988 he acted in the
cool movie "GLEAMING THE CUBE" where he did the freestyle skating of
the main hero Cristian Slater.With PLAN+B he filmed some of the gratest skating
videos ever made - "SECOND HAND SMOKE", "VIRTUAL REALITY"
AND "THE QUESTIONABLE VIDEO". Rodney`s best years were in the team but
in the `90 the street skateboarding was getting more and more popular so he
tought of quitting
but a friend of him bet with some guys that he will make one of the best street skaters
from Rodney and he won!Rodney has discovered 2/3 of the tricks done in street
skating today.
Today he skates for the A-TEAM which
includes DAVE MAYHEW,CHET THOMAS,GERSHON MOSLEY,MARC JOHNSON.These guys are
really cool and the A-TEAM video is amazing so watch it! The other great
video in which you can see Rodney`s incredabile style is "RODNEY MULLEN vs.
DEAWON SONG"
.
The two friends are the most technical skaters ever rolled and the two parts are
gonna make you go out and break your legs trying the craziest
tricks done with a wooden deck.........
BUT NO MATTHER HOW LONG YOU SKATE YOU`LL NEVER BE LIKE THE MASTER OF SKATEBOARDS - RODNEY MULLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
