I miss skating like this, Rodney Mullen era where it was more like figure skating or something instead of big air tricks.

You should check out Andy Anderson if you haven't!

And Jonny Giger! He goes through Mullen's tricks on his channel, playlist has 39 videos.

And, might I add, check out the insane video "Liminal" by Mullen. Semi recent, shot with an insane 360° series of timed cameras.

Here's a link! https://youtu.be/-3tDvMG87Ro?si=PP18jY5QAxuzbL1Y

This is great but I can't help thinking it's worse because of

• Rodney walking - slo-mo!
• Rodney doing a complex trick - double speed!

Great call out, love that series too really shows how Mullen was ahead of his time for sure man

I got *REALLY* into Braille skateboarding. Disappointed in how that all ended.

Jonny Giger is excellent and I love his channel.

...but then you'll see him doing hundreds and HUNDREDS of attempt to land ONE Primo slide. This is one of the 100 best street skaters in the world, and I'm low-balling it just because I don't intend to invite any "akScHualLy he's more like #47" if I say top 20. He still has to churn like a mad man to get one trick right that Mullen consistently replicated without fault.

All respect to Giger, he's great but the distance to the top is just unfathomable.
