Mullen has been consistently amazing for longer than anyone else I can think of, plus he’s a super-nice human being along with it.

Awesome stuff. Thanks, Joel!

5 Things I Love for Friday #61

So I finally went to the dentist yesterday, the first time since I moved to hilljack country Kentucky. I thought I needed to distance myself from the yokels by having my teeth (of which all are present and accounted for)…

Rodney Mullen is easily one of my favorite and most inspirational Skateboarders, personally. Beyond the fact that he literally is the father of skateboarding, down to the fact that he is just an amazing person, whose genius is on a level beyond what anyone else out there works on. I think the documentary said it best, and it might be my favorite parts of the movie, “Who knows what really drives someone to progress; it could be fear, or competition, or being, basically, tormented by ideas…” If that doesn’t sum up Rodney Mullen, the Robot, the cleanest skater around, with one of the longest, most substantial careers as a professional, then I don’t know what does.

I didn’t watch this video (yet) but have seen many a Rodney Mullen video. I highly recommend the Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song video. These guys are some of the most amazing technical skaters we’ll ever see.
