Clips: Rodney Mullen: Godfather of Skate

If you’ve got half an hour to kill, this documentary about Rodney Mullen, a man fundamental to the sport of skateboarding, is filled with just the right balance of reverence and detail. What I love about Mullen is that, despite pushing skateboarding in new directions for decades, developing dozens of tricks and new equipment designs, he comes off as just a normal guy who happens to really, really love to skate.
