Seems how this is my first blog since everyone started i thought i would talk about one of the best skaters known, Rodney Mullen. He began skating at age 10 in 1977. He was already sponsored by 1978, only owning a skateboard for under a year. When his family moved to a remote farm in Florida he started to focus on freestyle skating. In the late 70's he won 30 straight victories in amatuer competitions.
Rodney has created what we call skateboarding today. Using his massive intelligence he planned where to put his feet and exactly how to throw every trick. He created every flip trick in the book including the kickflip which was first call the Mullen Magic Flip because no one had ever even thought of flipping the board without putting their foot down or grabbing the board. In terms he is the best skater in the buisness.

Agreed. Rodney Mullen is the best skater in the business. His skate videos are insane. Chuck Norris is jealous of the Mullen..
I can't agree more Steven James Ager. Rodney Mullen is a prodigy on a board. His videos are so super duper sick!
Is he still around as a skater, or is he too old for that?
If you want to like to some YouTube videos, you can try that.
