Rodney Mullen is one of those sports stars that deserves way more recognition outside skateboarding than he gets currently. It’s a cliche, but he is the godfather of progression in skateboarding and especially street skating…….which without street skating, we’d be talki
about skateboarding as some mythical thing from the 70’s.
Really sad that he had such a domineering father that held nothing but disappointment towards his son and didn’t support him at all even when he was winning every competition at that time and picking up lucrative sponsorship from Powell. Considering all that e still manages to come across humble and thankful for everything that he’s done.

Oh yeah, watch Bones Brigade: An Autobiography (on Netflix at the moment) It’s a good trip down memory lane, and loads of Mullen
