Cool vid! Rodney will always be my favorite, and the most original. I miss those days, Hawk, Gator, Mountain, Vallely, Mullan, Mcgill. My uncle Dave Dillberg was one of the best in the 70's at those downhill races, so it's been fun to watch the progression through the ages. Nice old videos, keep it up !
@Cityskater1998 it feels like a lifetime ago - it was such a long time ago, it's strange to have people talk about it in the current sense ... I couldn't have imagined that kids young enough to be my son would all one day be privy to it and interested
no he did used to bike though it said it in his book it said he used to have contests with his friends to c who could weelie down his street the farthest
It's an obscure song. We didn't have the internet in the '80's but even then I had never heard this song anywhere else. And like I say, no credits. But I would be very surprised if the song wasn't called "Imagination". You should try typing in some of the lyrics in quotes and type "lyrics" and "Imagination" seperately. That's how I learned a song on another Mullen video of mine on here was from John Fogerty.
the singer is BELOUIS SOME. Check out some of his vids here on youtube. The album, "Some People", was never released on cd (indeed i've held onto the cassette tape over the years...) but "Imagination" and "some people" can be found on various 80s compilations on cd.

I remember him saying that he didn't know anyone was filming him when he was just sitting there.

Check out the movie Ghost Chase. Obscure 80's movie but that song is featured several times.

I forget where i heard it but it was about Rodney ice skating when he was a kid. Is that true? cuz it would probably explain those 360's.
