Although his father was opposed to the idea of his son skateboarding as he considered it a dangerous activity, Rodney Mullen began skateboarding on January 1, 1977 when he received his first board at the age of 10. After nine months, Mullen gained the sponsorship of Inland Surf Shop, and placed first in the first contest he entered at Kona in Jacksonville, FL, in the Boy's Freestyle event. Immediately he was noticed by Bruce Walker,[2] and became sponsored by Walker Skateboards.
Over the next three years he went on to take nearly 30 victories, which had been achieved mostly in Florida, culminating in a win at the Oceanside Nationals in June, 1979. Coached by Barry Zaritsky, Mullen endured a radical training regime, which led to the defeat of world champion Steve Rocco at the Oasis Pro in 1980. He turned professional with legendary skate company Powell Peralta and was a member of the Bones Brigade.
In 1988, Mullen left the University of Florida, where he had been studying Biomedical Engineering for four years.
In early 1989, Mullen left Powell Peralta and became a partner in World Industries with Steve Rocco, as well as maintaining his professional status as a rider for the company. By the end of the freestyle competition era in 1990, Rodney had won 34 of 35 freestyle competitions he'd entered over the previous 10 years. This is the most successful run in skateboard competition history.
