I'm going to start off with this because it was the craziest thing I've ever watched. If you don't know who Rodney Mullen is than you don't know anything about skateboarding. He is one of the biggest names there ever were involving skateboarding. He made tricks, he had incredible style, and he could do almost anything on his board. Nothing was ever too hard for Rodney Mullen to do. He could do anything on his skateboard. He has invented about 32 tricks. He could do anything he wanted to on his board. One trick he is very famous for is doing a handstand on his board and flipping the board and landing on it. He changed the game of skateboarding. It started off with freestyle skateboarding which was where skaters would spin around on their board, but never get it off the ground until Rodney Mullen figured out a way to do so. After this the freestyle skateboarding met the street world. The art of skateboarding didn't only on the streets it also made it to vert competitions. This wasn't one of Rodney Mullen’s talents, but he entered a competition and won it. Rodney Mullen won all of his competitions other than one. This dude was crazy. He would get on his board and do stuff that people couldn't even imagine. If you've ever skateboarded you would understand. For someone to think about moving their feet in the specific ways to do the tricks that he made up is weird. The way you do tricks is hard you have to move both feet at the same time. I couldn't even fathom to think about how he just came up with the idea to do the tricks the way he did. Rodney Mullen was the man when it came to skateboarding. He changed the sport and it’s getting bigger and better every passing day.
