Tony Hawk is regarded as the greatest Skateboarder of all time!

Skateboarders have always gotten credit for high risk skateboarding which could be vert competition, clearing a big gap, long rail, tall ledge, large staircases ect.

That's why street skateboarders have gone below the radar but have always enjoyed watching them more! They're more creative in their surroundings & architecture!

The most creative and the greatest most skilled skateboarder of all time is Rodney Mullen who was a freestyle/street skater who was an absolute wizard & alien on the board who was well ahead of his time & everyone else around him..including all the higher profile vert skaters like Hawk & Burnquist.

Mullen's parents didn't allow him as a kid to do anything dangerous on the board and also only had a small slab on concrete at his house.

Therefore alot of Mullens skateboarding was learned with a small area, which allowed him to focus on doing stationary tricks..which resulted in Mullen inventing majority of skateboarding moves that exist to this day.

He was well ahead of his time..he was doing things that took the skate world only now.. 35 years or so to catch up to Rodney Mullen!

Handstands, starting & landing tricks with the board on it's side, balancing the board upside down while either station or sliding on surfaces or rails or using the board. Mullen began using the skateboard on a way it was never designed on being used! Rodney may have actually mastered his craft & was so fluid & natrual to watch!


Like it's expected to be hit in boxing, it is also expected to take a tumble on skateboarding..

Watched Mullen do his magic and have minimal fuck ups..all in the one take too!..the timing, balance, focus, coordination, thinking on the fly & cleanly pulling everything off with complete style n ease!
