Damn he was good. I only ever heard of him from the old THPS games but don't think I ever saw a video of him. Thanks for sharing
Rodney Mullen is a fucking magician. Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6AQD9juq3w, at least the first 3 minutes. Some of the stuff he does is just... there are no words to describe it beyond magic.

In terms of the original topic, my favourite thing about skateboarding becoming an Olympic sport is the fact Tony Hawk, a man who was so very instrumental in building skateboarding up from "a few surfers put wheels on their boards so they don't have to rely on waves" to what it is today, was able to ride an Olympic skatepark. While counterculture is certainly a huge part of what made skateboarding so popular in the 90s and 00s, I don't think that makes it a negative that it's reached the Olympics.
