Steve Rocco Freestyle Run

[rebusd]

Rocco is Lee Fogelin to Rodney's Gretzky.

[musicman1770]

I skated with Steve and his brother back in Hermosa Beach in the late 70's. He was much better than this video!

[riotghandi]

good old times

[edger510]

was this at the oasis contest?

[DJnedKnowledge422]

that was tight

[crazyage83]

for right now thats easy for ppl but before that was really ass hard

[ClausMother3]

Dude, this is WAY harder than it looks. You can't imagine how hard it is to skate as smooth as him. Try to do a "freestyle run" on your own, really smooth and something like this, and you will see what I mean. I can't do it either, just wanted to say that. :)

[crazyage83]

i no but 2day for ppl thats easy

[ClausMother3]

Haha. Why is it TODAY easy?

[crazyage83]

cuz today there's ppl that had been practicing that since the 80's and its easy for them

[ClausMother3]

Ahh, that makes sense.

[wovokanarchy]

Every sport has it's beginnings.

[avantguy]

Im sorry but rocco was a terrible freestyler. This footage is proof of it.

[FFsilje]

he was the biggest rival of rodney mullen , respect

[VictoryCough]

@FFsilje

look where Rodney was at in 84 ! Steves good for sure, but rodney is on another level.

[freddytherubberducky]

he was mates with rodney

[yourfacemeetsmyfist]

@FFsilje

didnt John.R.Mullen beat him at 14 years?

[feelgoodco]

@FFsilje maybe his biggest rival. but thats still not saying much XD

rod is god!

[humbug595]

@FFsilje He wasn't only Rodneys biggest rival, he was also one of Rodneys closest friends and he looked up to Steve as one of his idols when he was growing up.

[Blackson187]

@FFsilje Very early on. Per Welinder was Rodney's main rival, though. Rocco got surpassed by most of the dudes from the mid-80's on.

[TooFlyProductions]

@FFsilje they were friends after Mullen beat him

[bacrazydude13]

who gives a shit about how much money the guys has?

[TrashCanSchool]

ahh yeah! that was awesome! best rocco footage ever! I didn't know freestyle was his niche, I've always had the fs shove it he does in rubbish heap stuck in my dome whenever I do that trick.

[royalavatar]

Why is everyone talking about Rodney Mullen in here? Yeah, he's the best of the world and personally I haven't seen anyone who's better, but get over it, this video is not about him. Steve Rocco is still a really good skater and you should be commenting about him, bringin mullen to the subject is kinda unfair for any skater

[ahmadkj3]

mullen beat dis guy n a fresstyly comp wen he was 13!!!! hahah mullen is sic

[paskin713]

Steves nanny and money, not rodneys

[paskin713]

you have no idea about either of them until you know them both! Rodney is chill as fuck and an awesome life but when my sister was his daughters nanny and my aunt started managing his money, i really got to know steve and rodney both, and they are best friends, its tight to lister to them talk about shit tho

[APinBermuda]

rocco was freestyle champ in '80, when mullen took it from him, still he's a multi-millionaire now

[luispick]

who is better

rodney mullen

or

steve rocco

[skatepunkzero]

MULLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jokamund]

Both good in their own ways.

[skater512atx]

mullens better

[TikkiKopf]

He is a OG

[mikemanian]

did u know that steve rocko and rodney mullen made the company world industries in 90s?

[KibaBagel247]

just Steve Rocco Rodney was on the team

[hobodoctor]

he borrowed basically all the money he used to start it from mullen

[justinn6121]

and still hasnt paid him back lol

[jokamund]

Lol

[pi117]

he makes it look so effortless.

[riverfarm111]

mullen owned him at that time

[sk8r4life1414]

mullen owned him two yrs before

[Blackson187]

Actually, at this point he was somewhat of a has-been on the freestyle scene. Guys like Mullen and Welinder blew him away.

[Tirion91]

OLDSCHOOL

[TikkiKopf]

that was sooo smoth!!!

[KevinRitchie]

omfg that way he got into rail was incredible, I gotta start tryin' that

[the12thdiciple]

[asthenia166]

[wadestylee]

[XTremeVideo]

That was SICK! Lol

[MikeBagack]

met this dude in 87 at surf and stuff in SM, CA and he shredded

[youricay]

i wanna see a game of skate steve Vs. Rodney. rodney probelly win though, hes got his moves down flat

[Decomposedteam]

Steave looks like he was out partying the night before. He still looks pretty smooth..

KB

[bobstricktips]

Did anyone else notice that after his inital spacewalk and rail trick, he does a 360 shoveit. That shoveit is actually switch. Ahead of his time.

[homedogdigity]

would it not be fakie (riding backwards) since he is goofy?

[simonmrozinski]

Steve Rocco didn't actually have a set stance, he could skate goofy and/or regular.

[paulandrodney]

steve was a good friend of rodney... steves actually a multi millionaire... well at least he was...

[youricay]

what happened?

[2007Walther]

weirdest music ever!

[bobstricktips]

It's the B52s -- Planet Claire.

[mokuni]

hell yes that t-shirt is worth more than his life now...lol

[Jonasp89]

cool t-shirt, but is that fagfit, since it's so short ? lol

[kangiwiyaka]

Uh no, Steve Rocco has a ridiculous amount of money.

[labritz]
