Rodneys skating has always been jaw dropping. He has an interesting life story, also. I recommend the Bones Brigade documentary if you havent seen it.

I remember watching the skating vids in the THPS games over and over. Mullen's were always the coolest.

Rodney invented the ollie, kickflip, heelflip, impossible, 360 flip, etc. I can go on and on and on.

He literally invented modern skateboarding. What a legend.

Man, THPS was my childhood. That was my Esports back then. I remember just destroying friends, neighbors, and classmates. 1-3 were awesome. 4 was good, but with Reverts, it got a bit more complicated, and by THUG, I just never caught up. But 1-3 I was tits.

I definitely remembered his video in THPS4 (which ain't too shabby in it's own right) because it had the pro challenges that make you play as everyone, but I'm not sure if I'd ever actually watched his THPS3 one. Thank you for sharing that was sick.

He did not invent the ollie.

I didn't have THPS3, but I had THPS2 and was revisiting his vid a lot.

The intricacies of his combos made him closer to a living version of the game than everyone else. You can tell the way he looked at skating was way different, and continued to do so through his career and coming back from injury. Dude's a literal student/scholar of skating.

My favorite part about introducing my son to skateboarding/THPS was explaining to him why rodney mullens video/ moves are so insane. I got to pass it on to the next generation

oh whoops it was some other guy

my bad lol

idk but Rodney Mullen is still cool

Mullen still invented the modern flatground ollie. Literally called THE OLLIE.

Not sure why that guy can't understand we are talking about modern skateboarding, which Mullen is the father of.

Ollie was the nickname of Alan Gefland, who invented the trick. Mullen invented dozens of tricks. Just not the ollie.

He's gonna fuck his knees and head if he bails.

His nickname is the godfather of street skating. Essentially he invented nearly all the basic street tricks that you see today. The kickflip is something that he invented.

Mullen invented the flatground ollie.

There were pics in Thrasher of skaters doing the ollie pop before Mullen debuted the trick in competition. He did not invent the ollie. This in no way diminishes his impact on street skating today.

I think it is possible someone had done a flatground ollie before Mullen but im pretty sure Mullen is the first documented case.

Thrasher was founded in 1981. Rodney does his Ollie on June 27th 1982 in a competition.

Thrasher featured a cover of Rodney doing an ollie in October 1982 issue
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/6/2/AAZsuhAAE76K.jpg

Its still possible there is a pic of an ollie on Thrasher the year before. I will try to look for it later when I'm on my pc
