Rodney Mullen Old Skate Footage from 1993

[JustRosales]

Those are his only bails and made them look awsome

[ISMAELT123]

my hero fails :O no no no no this is not true!

[MrSliXe]

he is just unbelievable :X

[mrlynch321]

tre flip in 93.....awesome

[juanita2868]

rodney is my favorite skater and is the essence of skating put into a physical body but i think i should feel bad for him because to me, the best part of skating is learning new tricks and rodney has mastered practically every trick i can ever think of, i think it'd be pretty boring if thats the case. but i wonder who his idol was when he was a kid

[technicalhoboskater]

@juanita2868 Stacey Peralta was his idol when he started.

[3TimesImGone]

still the best

[N3TR0z]

12 posers

[glumboy101]

It would be an honor to reincarnate as the tree that gets chopped down and turned into rodneys board. =P

do skateboards have orgasms?

[Ashterrs]

0:50 failed semi flip

watever he landed like 182845464236 semi flips xD

[fakukiwi]

wow, is the first time i see rodney missiing a trick,

[laxbro021]

no one is as good as the master of the sport. who creates tricks is the creator. cant beat the original

[pedroeljuego]

Thanks for uploading this, I really appreciate it.

[MegaDProductions]

big tricks, big pants.

[sk81sf4n]

11 idiots can of course reapeat those tricks

[Tommimatskua]

legend of flatground

[Mike19732486]

That was really nice video. Good to see that even Rodney sometimes makes a mistakes:)

[777disher]

OMG rodney failing trick this is fake

jaja XP

[seangreenz420]

soooo sick, rodney is the king of skateing

[xXxERICxXx8]

only rodney can be cool enough to throw his griptape against marble

[wipers86]

lol who is the guy who is singing and jumping about

[Tregen300]

Haha i laughed when i heard the cameraman ask mullen if that tre flip was new. i mean it was back then but when you think about it now its kinda funny

[Mrsamuellee92]

1:10 to around 1:14 is that nollie full cab late backfoot backside flip? o.o

[CladOfRome]

Wow, after all this searching I finally found footage of him messing up. Granted of course this was when Rodney just switched from freestyle decks to regular decks.

[rjcv12]

seeing him have trouble landing makes me feel better about myself

[thekoolaidman156]

rodney mullen ftw

[562ole]

even the king of skateboarding falls, i like how he doesnt make excuses for why the trick when wrong, he is truly the best skateboarder that will ever live

[562ole]

look how small his wheels are

[freders1720]

WTF the singging guy is a damn asshole!

[Utubesuxmycock]

man that first one most pros cant even do today!!!!!!!!

fuck mike mo!!! mullen bustin nollie full cab flips before he even stepped on a board

[neumann81]

so fucking ahead of his time. I'm guessing he's not invited to the BATB because it just be everyone competing for second place.

[theath1337]

*tre flips* "is that one of your new ones?" damn,  im as old as tre flips...

[MrPhilosfer]

Rodney Mullen will never die!!!!!!!!

[skateboardgasten]

that guy on the backgroundxD

1:56 - 2:45

[ACDCGUY13]

@skateboardgasten when hes there rodney messes up but when hes gone he gets it lol

[sk8erboy14zg]

TRE FLIP FRONT FOOT CATCH BEFORE ANYBODY!!

[CaptianObviousIII]

This guy would so pwn everyone in Battle at the Berrics. :D

[bdon276548]

his style reminds me of jeffwonsong......shity as fuck

[gyped]

@bdon276548 boo!

[Uberlight2]

@bdon276548 yeah it's the best style there is

[warhammer1]

@bdon276548 you mean Jeff Won Song reminds you of Mullen.

Mullen skates faster though, and well, goes without saying, NOBODY is more tech than Mullen... handstand fingerflip to nosemanual, primo kickflip primo tre to nosemanual, I could go on...

[DFSTSk8er]

HOLY SHITTT wht has the world come to??? rodney not doing a trick??? :''''''( lol

[avengedsevenfold979]

its nice to see rodney mullen is a human and sometimes misses tricks haah

[harmonicminorshred]

@avengedsevenfold979 Yeah but this was almost twenty years ago babe. So of course there's a difference in his skating to now.

[TheMisteryFrancisco]

@avengedsevenfold979 He misses on purpose, so we think he is human :D

[celisto001]

WOW!! Who knew rodney bails on some tricks...this is like the first time i see Rodney miss...wow

[aaronschool296]

im deffinately feeling the nostalgia.

[Dr8co1]

LOL the guy @ 2:00 shouldn't have quit his day job :P

[XnonHaterX]

is the guy whos singing retarded?

[fruitydudexD]

he isnt wearing his lucky light brown pants that he seems to wear in ever of his vids :D

[whereswaldo22]

he is the oldest skate border to live

[dbspaceoditty]

@whereswaldo22 not really, far more greats from before his time

[miask8er]

rodney mullen... how does he work?!?

[StaticPlayList]

is it me or does he say at 2:10 " The shining true , that likes faggets " ????

[ColynHillard1]

i still dont like him i never did i hate his style

[dbspaceoditty]

@ColynHillard1 dont watch his videos then

[bankyy]

seeing rodney mess up (even if its a darkslide) makes me feel so good ahahah

[crustydemons4484]

@gac18 cena is gay. hes not even close to being mullen.

[ZombieMod1]

is not rodney mullen

[skate199511]

@ZombieMod1 is not rodney mullen?? lol

[theonlybig6]

look at this vid and look at his later skate vids and see what the real meaning of practice makes perfect is all about, even Mullen had to start somewhere, this should motivate all kids starting to skate,

[KILLAZATION]

he been doing it since the 80s

[OhStylo]

OMG did I just see one of his first darkslides/maybe the first one? Awesome vid.

[chrishaven76]

Parachute pants? Those are jeans. 1991-1994 was the best period in skateboarding history! size 40mm wheels, adidas gazelles, size xxl shirts, waist size 40 pants cut off, glad I was there.

[jplcua18]

Parachute pants!!

[rebusd]

I think most of the PBVR stuff was fall-winter 92, except for the 92 summer tour stuff... that's mullen's 92 crew cut...

This is like sifting through table napkins that Einstein would have used for notes in some pub/tavern/gasthaus...

[VitunNarkomaani]

hes not rodney ....

[SmileMovieTeam]

@VitunNarkomaani Mites nii pallikorvis?

[VitunNarkomaani]

@SmileMovieTeam "pallikovis" :D:D:

[VitunNarkomaani]

@SmileMovieTeam pallikorvis :D:D

[TheSelsner]

1993 :D my year of birth!

[MrAlmostEnjoiable]

Nevermind that. Found out it's a 180 kickback.

[MrAlmostEnjoiable]

Was that a 180 hospital flip at 1:45?

[MRRJD2]

@MrAlmostEnjoiable

its a back side kick flip under flip. you NOOB.

[AlxMiNeR]

hahah .. 7 year after he would do those tricks so softly

[ACDCRocks780]

so, rodney was the first to do the trick seriously

[ACDCRocks780]

i actually dont know anything important he didnt invent except for grinds. the gonz did the first darkslide so that doesnt count

[ACDCRocks780]

if im not mistaken, i believe that jason lee just made them famous, and mullen invented them, no one seems to know who actually invented them, but im pretty sure it was mullen way back when he created the kickflip

[ACDCRocks780]

1:12 Helipop!

[The777JesusFreak]

He is the father of skating, no one is as good as him, no one will ever be better.

[T3RM4N4T0R]

@The777JesusFreak daewon song

[wipers86]

@The777JesusFreak totally man no other skater will have half the creative mind Mullen has to think he came up with lots of this stuff as a kid now what other kid in anything has done that

[123wastedyouth]

@The777JesusFreak ALOT people is better than him, he invented alot of tricks but alot of people IS still better than him.

[matty1wray]

@123wastedyouth "IS still better than him"? no as it doesn't make sense you mean to say alot of people are still better than him. and i believe your wrong

[Rocism01]

@123wastedyouth are you CRAZY!?!?!?!

NO ONE is better than the GOD HIMSELF...

name one person who is better...

DAEWON SONG is the only person that can minorly come close...

and he doesn't even come close to Rodney at alllllll...

so wtf are you talkin bout...???

you can't even name ONE person better than Rodney///

pshhhh... your Ignorance Offends ME...!!!

[skaterd00d14]

@Rocism01 killian martin comes a little close to him but not as good

[Rocism01]

@skaterd00d14 yeah killian is good but he doesn't come close to Rodney...

Rodney is the Original.. the First... and he is still innovating...

[tabletenisfanatik]

dark slide xD

[nastazio12]

hahahha that singin dude :DD

[jojojo503]

rodney mullen is the craziest skateboarder ever, he has invented so many tricks, he is my idol

[Hippiepis]

wtf? I didnt know he could do all this back in 1993? He was years ahead of every single pro skater back then...

[M3sslah]

back in 93? haha do a search on youtube for "rodney Mullen japan" that is even back in 84 or something, he is a genius and he damn rocks. He is skating in that Japanese clip for over 3 minutes without falling once.

[Hippiepis]

Hehe ok, watched the one from 84 - i see your point :D

[M3sslah]

And also search "Rodney Mullen - Rubbish Heap" that is probably one of my favourite clips with him skating what I used to skate, freestyle.

[tabletenisfanatik]

Indeed he was. He invented most of the flip tricks

[Kidanis]

@Hippiepis HE is STILL years ahead of pros to this day wich is kinda messed up ^.^

[k0RnFl4k3]

@Hippiepis search for "rodney mullen 1984". :D hes a genius

[FatPigCypris]

WHITE POWER!!

[vladcjskate]

I like that

360 flip at the beginning

when the guy says

'that's a new trick?'

man, everyone does 'em these days

[M3sslah]

It wasn't even new trick at that time, there are really old footage of Rodney doing it. Hell even I did 360 flip 1991 at least or even before, maybe 1990. I was 12-13 years old then and now I'm 32. Rodney is my hero all my youth during skateboarding. He practically invented most of the tricks skaters use today, if it weren't for him skaters on the street would probably still be doing no comply as the main trick.

[lucky9962]

that is so 1993 I never seen this vid

[ekse88]

no one knows that it isnt rodney? o.O

[cbvgg]

It is rodney. He had short hair then.

[sk8r4lifematt]

i liked the 180 kickflip underflip

this video is so sick

[FFsilje]

1:14 is that a nollie 360 forward flip?

[lilsk8erbro]

nollie cab flip/nollie 360 kickflip.

[VictoryCough]

Rodney has always been about 5-6 years ahead of his time. His lines in virtual reality were what people were doing in the late 90's.

[xgh721]

@VictoryCough haha yeah, because thats how long it took them to learn those types of stuff he was doing then

[RainyDayBlue8]

darkslide is nastyy

[FocusedTeam]

Wow he has gotten a little bit better in the past 16 years lol

[rhalofanatic]

I DIDNT RODNEY HAD TO TRY

[sorcerer6string]

AWW, he landed the darkslide RIGHT when that awesome asian dude left! lame

on a serious note, rodney did such crazy shit for that time... it blows my mind every time i see one of these vids. i don't get it, his nollie cab flips were flawless, he was doing late back-foot varial heels, late underflips.... god damn

[masterchad5]

2:37 lol

[sorcerer6string]

i lost my shit when i saw that part hahaha. i knew rodney wouldn't be able to even pop the nollie on that one hahaha, who could concentrate under those conditions

[NorthviewEnt]

wow, he actually bails a few times here. during his demos he hardly ever bails...

[WaterFromDodian]

Rodney Mullen is my hero, like no joke..

[frostonfreeze]

i didn't know rodney mullen couldn't land tricks first try

[gofkyoslf]

ur just stupid

[rhalofanatic]

i didnt no rodney had to try

[irwan86]

its really show that the tricks is sooo difficult to do

[koolpaid]

1:00

[koolpaid]

:37

[kutsapjes]

that is not even by far haslam flip i think it's backsideflip-underflip

[s5sprite]

1:42 haslam flip?

[NelWu]

He is still a god of skateboarding

[kryoseeker]

omg i thought he was just born a skateboarder but now i see this and..................well everyone starts out somewhere

[Dtyler171]

If that was a joke it's a very poor one.

[grunge65432]

trickxtips

Great Trick Tips WEBSITE: for Skateboarding, snowboarding, and more.

[Idiotology101]

he was still great but he has mproved since then

[MrDavidjamie]

haha 2:36 and when that guy goes he lands it

[Buurg]

it's amazing to see Rodney's attempts. Truly art in progress. thanks for the upload!

[kerrywsmyth]

For those that say he looks awakward because he is transitioning to street style from freestyle THINK AGAIN. Watch Plan B "Questionable" releaseded in 1992. Don't tell me he was in transition in 93. Truth is that his extreme technique requires quite a few tries to capture on film.

[kerrywsmyth]

I LOVE this raw footage! I never saw Rodney as human - now I realize he was flesh and blood like us.

[3Drambo]

yae me too ... ive never seen video when rodney doesnt land anythink xD

[randomofasound]

Sweeet!!!

[BraCBraDPiTT93]

Rondeys the best

[shadninjo]

i was born in april 21st 1993 =)

[ImTheHaloGod]

ya can tell that this was the time when he started developing most of his street technical stuff he does nowadays. ya know, all the underflips and such. it was he transition from the old school style to street and then mixing in them both.

[BikerMike7381]

the man may age, but the legend, well, that eventually dies too, but at least lives longer :-) Rodney is still my hero. seeing his 'effort clips' reminds me anything worth while doesn't come easy.

[ImTheHaloGod]

some ledgends never die they just become myths. he will be remembered for ever in the world of skateboarding.

[hmmnmmnmmmmn]

Lol that singing guy is destructing him like hell :p

[1nathanfrancis]

glad you posted it.

[wingwing829]

fuk i love tht half cap kickflip underflip he does aye

looks soo kool~

[abelcalderon]

[dak8]

[ImSoCoolio999]

ive never seen a video where rodney misses tricks

[georgito619]

1:19 was that a inward kickflip?

[29041013428009]

an inward kickflip is called a hardflip

[georgito619]

ya i know dat but did that look like a hardflip. looks like an actual fs pop shuv with a kickflip. ive never seen hardflips done like dat.

[29041013428009]

then wouldnt u say was that a hardflip instead of was that an inward kickflip...

[georgito619]

ya but it doesnt look like a hardflip.

[29041013428009]

dude but if your gunna say inward kickflip then your saying was that a hard flip

[georgito619]

ohhh ok

[29041013428009]

...

[mike10709]

sooo old Ohmg lol... how old is he??! lol :]

[29041013428009]

he is 43 right now

[FaraohTony]

I had no idea he was able to land a varial kickunderflip in 93

[georgito619]

where i didnt see it

[FaraohTony]

1:41

[georgito619]
