[cmonty72]

Jesus is jealous of Rodney

[JKtupac]

''I dont wanna be the old guy that everyone feels sorry for.'' Rodney, dont say that.

[gofkyoslf]

"Hi i'm Rodney Mullen and i'm just a skateboarder".

[09BboyAssassin09]

rodney mullen is a very down to earth guy which is quite good considering all his fame

[arukimaru1]

Rodney looks kinda like Ron from harry potter. :)

[kagura222]

Rodney Mullen is the love of my life.

Fuck my girlfriend.

[sami18054]

dude rodney is the best skater he should have game not shawn white he invented flat ground and whoever direspects himm fk u and try to look at his skating videos u couldnt do the tricks he does even in the game

[isoperuna2]

his name should be Radney

umm... rodney is so cute : )

[superafim888]

why does aarto look soo different that like 8 yrs ago it looks like he has cheek inplants or something

[ThatGuyUSeeALot]

you know rodney is deaf..... O.o and antisocial. but he funtions well....

[CoolNigga12345]

@ThatGuyUSeeALot how is he deaf when he was talking to those other ppl just fine??

[btwwe4extreme]

"i understand what your saying, ok its not realistic". LOL

[oceananwer2]

rodney sounds gay but is still sick

[isoperuna2]

@oceananwer2

you cant be happy and very much yoda-like without being Fag or Bank robber..

Hoo-RAY !

[koutsi007]

Arto Saari looks like Randy Orton :D

[siamesefish]

[gumdrops27]

[rickface13]

[AirPickles]

God bless you, Rodney Mullen. Your style is spastic and awkward, but you have a great attitude.

[isleppardbbjoker]

man everybody in the world knows rodney mullen is the best sheckler is someone he's not plus rodney invented the tricks that sheckler does except for the ollie

[4metobekinky]

@isleppardbbjoker nice grammar

[schulzecd]

@isleppardbbjoker uhh dude, Rodney Mullen kind of did invent the flatground ollie. ;)

[gumdrops27]

@schulzecd

Rodney Mullen pretty much invented flatground skating period.

[XxBamLuvrxX]

rodney mullen! love that dude

[braddd007]

Will people ever stop comparing rodney mullen to ryan sheckler. Their syle of skating is very, very different, and rodney isn't a little bitch trying to be someone hes not like sheckler is...

[shamannofthedead]

what kind of fuking moron would compare sheckler to mullen?

[thegiraffe94]

Ya, sheckler's a fag. Rodney's not.

[shamannofthedead]

ahhhhh you know what the fuck is up

[filmfaker912]

@braddd007 thats very true

[lameon]

Rodney is just so fucking epic. Everything he says makes you feel amazed at how awesome he is. I love him, no homo.

[kevincitomendez]

rodney mullen is the fatherrr!!  ,, thankzz rodney u r the best ever , mike tison in theboxing, the teachers in the school , the skateboard on the street and rodney mullen on the skateboard! ur the f... besttt!!!

[ichstim]

Dont fock with Rodney Mullen!

He is the best skater ever!

Love him!

I want to meet Rodney Mullen in real!

[jc790]

Everyone loves Rodney!! Seriously, if you're a skater and you don't have the highest respect for him then you have a problem. He's the nicest, coolest guy you'll ever meet and he's the godfather of modern day skating.

[WatchOnlineMoviesTV]

ahahahah omg, i would like to see you bitches turn down thousands of dollars for doing something you love doing. Ryan Sheckler just has sponsors, and i bet Rodney had them too, but, Ryan skates for himself and for money(it's his job).

[teddyh]

Nevermind everything he has contributed to modern skateboarding(from countless tricks to the present day board shape)..i think Rodney Mullen is just amazing as a human being..the positive energy(PMA!) just seems to leap of him and reach out touch you..makes you want to do something productive..anything..thanks for everything Rodney..we are forever in your debt.

[YM913]

that is true mullen is real

[jikininki1]

i love rodney mullen he skates for fun not like that faggot ryan sheckler money hogging bitch. rodney mullen is the best!

[Andy2theT]

ill bet you anything rodney would say to stop hating on one of the best skaters in the world (sheckler) just because you're jealous of his talent and money.

[jikininki1]

@Andy2theT im not jealous of any thing. ryan is corrupted by his lust for money. just pointing out

[thegiraffe94]

and ego?

[MSV94]

Do Rodney make part in skate movies or is he just skating for fun, and for him self???

Is there something new from Rodney???

[wizman02233]

there will never be somethnig new from rodney hes retired but!!! he skates everyday for 2 hours -=p hes my uncles friend=p but he doesnt star in any movies he skates for him slef

[1337isnotavailable]

rodney said,

...i would love to see the tony hawk games develop to the point where you could truly learn the foot placements and watch the roll of the ankle and watch all the joints move...

skate 2 and skate. can teach you that

[JerseySkate]

they should put him in the Skate. series

[lillewilli]

3:01 HAHAHAHAHA!!!! but i dont thin anyone woudl PLAY the game..

[SentinelConvergence]

"I don't want to be the old guy that everyone feels sorry for."

That day will never come Rodney, it simply won't happen.

[Crawenx]

Go Rodney!!

You're still the best

[trebetjoh]

if you think about of it Rodney sounds like Michael Jackson

[paradigmSkate]

SCope the laugh at 4:15

[ScottishSkater93]

nope. Just think hes done his fair bit of weed in his days. But the best of us have,.

[pooky74]

rodney still looks young as fuck how old is he like 40

[megaminiman]

[BREE14BREE]

im going to feel bad wen Rodney mullen cant skate

[Creach101]

Rodney will never loose it...:D

[dude0a1]

rodneys still got it

[IzaakC5]

Arto Saari Is The Shit And Some Of The Video Games Clips Is Project 8

[LucaEVILmonkey]

[gytiw79]

Arto Saari reminds me Randy Orton when he has this haircut , no offense

[tonyhawkdelmar]

i thought the same

[FTCSK8KREW]

rodney is awesome

[davidopresto94]

I have really no idea why but rodney always reminds me of willy wonka i have no fucking idea why! i think it might be that hes always crazy and dreaming! lmao

[paradigmSkate]

hahahah

your right

[pineapplepootytang]

rodney is a chill ass dude and everything but his laugh is kinda gettin at me.

[Gl0balStyle]

Rodney is great :D.

[freeridermtb4]

[CronusRiley]

[dariusweeden]

[lovefudge37]

[Kananpaluu]

awesome! thanks!

[JoshVGREEN]

lol "jst a skateboarder".....ROFL

[Tenacious004]

Its been about 5 years since I saw Rodneys part in the Questionable video . That vid is 17 years old and It still blows my fucking mind how far ahead of his time he was. He did tricks in that video that are still ahead of the curve today...BS 180 double lateflip, 360 nollie late flips etc.etc.....Rodney is hands down most naturally gifted skater to ever pick up and board. Shit he's in his 40s now and is still gnarly as hell, his part in united by fate is fucking owns.

[jussi95]

2my faorite skaters<3

[canadiancatz]

lmfao "yeah its uhh to early in the morning for that one" soo funny

[coolkid9998]

lol, the old guy tht every1 feels sry for, thats definitely mark gonzales he owns krooked and in their latest vid he gave himself last part. lol.

[makelelemakelele]

He's finnish

[airtronics300095]

Rodney is the biggest inspiration in skateboarding so far.

[JizzMasterPino]

so genuine

[skydiver021]

i need this game on pc platform...

[paintball164]

get ea skate

[kasabian1234]

Rodney has to be one of the most kind and joyful people I have ever met. He loves what he does.

[djanigav]

I wish i was as good in one thing in my life, as rodney is at skating... just one thing.

Man he is an inspiration and an inovator.

Much Respect.

[CHORI182]

rodney=legend

aguante la patineta!

[toirobot71091]

You can tell from the way rodney talks that he really enjoys what he's doing.

[mripud]

- lol i know i could be wrong (about him being one) - dont lecture me on this - Rodney lookz like a stoneer lmao!! really

[jlam97]

arto saari and rodney mullen the good my favorits

[mcdolan]

Rodney is one of my favorite skaters but the dude is awkward as hell whenever he's not skating

[73Keys]

i don't think he's awkward, just that he's peculiar and doesn't worry about people seeing him that way.

[zach01313]

lol word

[poly23]

1:45 the answer is skate and the skate 2 game is coming out soon

[mripud]

if skate was out when tony hawk games came out they would have nevr got this far in their games.

[zach01313]

2 th games came out during and after skate did

[Scarbak123]

skate isnt as realistic as what rodney is talking about dude.

[ass12345666543]

877.304.6769 . phone fun

ugh! im so horny right now! lol zW

[redsinsaneyear2005]

60 years old.

[kcdude500]

Who's 60, because Rodney's about 45.

[redsinsaneyear2005]

rodneys hopes to be that 60 year old man still skating watch the damn vid.

[Xpayne1]

hes not 45 lol , hes 41

[timsakumai]

no, hes actually 42

[MadaxoR]

ha those game clips look so buggy

[Davidskejt]

this game sucks. thug 2 and american westland is the best

[timsakumai]

thug 1 is sick aswell

[silversurfer4000]

looks like randy orton

[keyransolo]

Who? lol.

[knuckels17]

OMG he does lol randy orton is a wrestler BTW :P rodney mullen is the best skater of all time always will be!

[STUMPTOWNVIDEO]

thats exactly what i say that unrealistic aspect helps fuel creativity and sparks your imagination because if you just see the same tricks all the time every where and then you see something so rediculous like a fakie laser flip to late kickflip your gonna be like holy crap i should go try something crazy out there. i just drank like ten redbulls leave me alone if it doesnt make sense.

[nekonaru16]

lol you, and they are right, i did a fingerflip losi, after i saw a losi on this game, and thinking that a no comlpy to fakie on a quarter would be more impossible than, a double impossible on flatland... needless to say on the way down my front wheel caught on the coping and i ate it, but still

[sk8er7455]

IF anyone has actually played this game. Wow. What a piece of crap. You've played 1 tony hawk. You've played them all. 1 and 2 were fun... like 8 years ago. EA SKATE

[skateboarder1126]

are u shitting me??? you reatard, the tony hawk games are much better than ur gay ea skate

[pablo3264]

dam dude i remember when i first played pro skater 1 lol it was the shit back then!

[UH15QBfan]

is this abiut proving ground

[saferftregfe]

skatet rodney mullen noch ??

[cannabitchh]

nice :)

[capnbiggots]

Rodney Mullen is like, the best guy ever.

[1h34rtSk81NG]

umm watch like, mike mo, or marc johnson in Fully Flared. then see if rod is still cool. your style must be dead

[ratphinc]

style is opinion douche

[melvintan1992]

i got a big question

why is tony hawk so much more famous in the long run when rodney mullen invented most tricks that skaters do today? I mean Rodney is incredible and Tony Hawk is really not even as good as him but yet he's so much more famous.. it doesn't make sense..

[essa8abbas]

yea your right see rodney mullen dont give a fuck about money and video parts he just skates for fun , tony hawk in the other side he make alot of video games and video parts and make alot of money and fame .

[incomparablesimmon]

I got a answer, whether people like it or not Tony Hawk is the ONE person who INITIALLY got the world to notice skateboarding. Rodney is the man, but by his own fault he seems to live a life mostly behind the scenes where Tony set the platform on which ALL the other greats like Rodney Mullen and Danny Way e.t.c. could be seen.

So think of Tony as the set-up guy and Rodney as the engine that drives skaters all around the world.

Peace.

[skate000is000art]

just because tony hawk got skaters noticed it doesnt make him any better than rodney mullen. rodney is better cause hes not bothered with big houses or cars or all the stuff he could buy if he wanted to cause he knows its all useless. rodney skates for the love of it not to be famous or rich thats why he never bothered trying to get noticed in the first place.

rodney mullen is the soul of skateboarding

[skateboarder1126]

shut up man incomparablesimmon is right

[kriphon425]

how old is mullen now?

[Spiriax]

He was born in 1966. So... 42.

[Docas20]

Rodney is the nicest person you will meet..4 sure he is just amazing

[olisaoli]

Rodney is the reason I started skating in the first place.

[angelfan1993]

me 2 im inspired by him his sk8ing is so amazing i like the semi flip

[jayfx2]

Rodney is the nicest person you will meet. he down to earth. He is also my favorite skater and one of the best.

[skater4nater]

yea true but to be honest, hes really over rated :/

[geektar03]

skater4nater... he is not overrated. not at all.

Rodney Mullen is God of skating.

Tony Hawk is like Jesus Christ of skating.

[skater4nater]

im saying that because everyone says hes their favorite skater and thats like the only skater that really know of. there are so many other great skaters out there and im just saying people say hes their favorite skater too much, thats all

[geektar03]

theirs nothing wrong with people liking him the most. His skills speak for themselves. -Laters

[skater4nater]

yea true but to be honest, hes really over rated :/

[snygtom]

Arto Saari :D He's from Finland ^^ Glad that I'm too

[GirlsSkate2]

i heard that the next tony hawk is going to incorporated with the wii fit board.

[kriphon425]

ur joking... that board would brake in a second with rough skaters

[BOULALITA]

i think skate is better

[BOULALITA]

i think skate is better

[rickjames113]

so do i

[reeb561]

I like Rodney and Arto and this video too

[peroslowned]

hes like the godfather of modern skateboarding and hes so humble...respect

[decepiece]

rodney is at his prime

[CloudStrife1038]

i know his cat

[skate000is000art]

haha nice =) i was gonna call myself cloud strife on this but it was taken. ff7 is incredible, rodney mullen is even more incredible. still i bet his cat can skate deadly too :)

by the way is your name Cormac?

i have a friend called Cormac who thinks ff7 is amazing

[angelfan1993]

wtf

[bedbug2065]

i know his 3rd cousin.....

[skatesaintjohn]

MAN mullen seem so baked but thats just me sayin

[TwoZigZags]

No, mullen is always like that. Watch his other interviews.

[54spiritedwill54]

Indeed, he is really my number one inspiration to the art of skateboarding!

[enjoistaind]

lol rodney is so genuine. love him. despite his spaceyness, he's reallyl intelligent and in tune creatively.

[pioneer96]

i like daewon better hes an animal

[igiveup234]

rodney mullen is a good person and a great skater but he seemed kinda spaced out

[DjTonino]

i see the filming of this... a 10 min vid... in this vid i see rodney, a lot of tentative to land some hes trick. trick when years ago he land EVER... but now hes the best on street and freestyle mix. its amazing

[pioneer96]

0;40 casper slide that trick was in the old tony hawk games its not new

[UnlimitedSag]

Wow. Thanks for that.

[Lajetsk8]

rodney is a amazing  person

[JewtemalanTM]

Rodney mullen said that he wants a game where you can learn how to do tricks by watching the game. The game Skate. that just came out can do that. He would have been way cooler on skate

[Skateboarfabi]

i buy it because the scene 0:40 i love that trick and that trick now in a video game yeahhh !!!!! ^^

[thepiratescene]

it's called a truckstand.

[DjTonino]

Rodney its good, but the bad its 20-30 tentative to land some trick. he land EVER quite years ago... but hes good!... the trick at 0:40 its a casperslide

[stopdakillin]

Rodney is my number one inspiration to the art of skateboarding! If it werent for him..I would never have gone as far as I have to this day! Good video..Thx for the footage!

[SHOWxSK8ER]

i get what rodney is saying, doesnt stop me from ripping on THPS. well whatever im going to play SKATE.

[edwardsforest]

mullens a little weirdo, but hes cool

[sk8gorilla]

Hes not a weirdo hes intelliget and knows alot

[pearns]

who wouldnt be as happy as him when all your life u get to do what u love.

[Haydu1235]

Arto has already been in Tony Hawk underground

[justSELF]

"Dude, its too early in the morning" ^^ hahah

Is arto finaly in a game? cool, too bad its Tony hawks... "Skate" is just that much of a better game. I dont like THPS because of the flip to grind, flip, grind, flip, griiiiind, manual, flip to another grind, flip, grind.. well im pretty sure you get the picture...

[DragonBoyX9000]

I'd laugh if this was a promotional video for thpg...

[bywhothe]

whats the name of the trick he does at 00.51

[Fleppo]

360 fingerflip with his backhand

[CFMPmadSfX]

6Guitaristsrock6 there is a game being released on the Xbox 360 soon its called Skate...

[6Guitaristsrock6]

hell yeh there is, its awesome, cheers for the info anywy tho, i love ea skate it rocks.

[6Guitaristsrock6]

don't get me wrong i love skating , but thats why i might not buy this game, its waay too unrealistic, and just so people know what mullen was sayin about havin to try tricks loads before you land them, i would buy a game where it takes ages to actually get good.

[SteveSkatesCrummy]

its true, a lot of people wont buy it because of that, but i used to make tony hawk like that. i would just do free skate and try to kickflip big gaps or stuff like that. now i think you can have more fun doing that.

[6Guitaristsrock6]

yeh i used to do that too its more fun when u feel good about landing a trick, not doin a high combo.lol nail the trick wot bs
