09.25.20 | Solid list man:) Dollin has always been a personal favourite, but you can't go wrong with any of these guys. Mind Field is such a classic! So many good parts on there. I'd be curious to know who some of your more current favourites are? |

09.25.20 | So stoked to see Jamie Thomas mentioned. I've been obsessed with his Chomp on This part for like 13 years. Jerry Hsu is another hero for me. Chris Cole is pretty huge for me too. The Gonz is another mention. Andrew Reynolds. Haslam [2], Mullin [2], Daewon Song. Jaws. |

09.25.20 | Rodney Mullen is such a dweeb. It’s like saying your favorite band is Pink Floyd or something. Like he’s good and everything but his style just kinda wows the normies who don’t know any better. |

Storm In A Teacup
09.25.20 | John Rodney Mullen[2][3] (born August 17, 1966[4]) is an American professional skateboarder, entrepreneur, inventor, and public speaker who practices freestyle skateboarding and street skateboarding.[5] He is widely considered the most influential street skater in the history of the sport, being credited for inventing numerous tricks, including the flatground ollie, kickflip, heelflip, impossible, and 360-flip. As a result, he has been called the "Godfather of Street Skateboarding."[6]
Rodney Mullen won his first world skateboard championship at the age of 14; over the following decade, he won 34 out of 35 freestyle contests, thus establishing the most successful competitive run in the history of the sport.[6] Over the following years, he transitioned from freestyle to street skateboarding, adapting his accumulated freestyle skills to street and inventing or expanding upon additional tricks in the process, such as primo slides, darkslides, and casper slides. |

More respect for the godfather of street, please. lmao Like he's always at the final frontier of the art-form even if all the flips aren't what a lot of skaters are into. Rails, vert, ledges, and stairs are all sick too. But give the man his props. Also, Floyd deserve their steez too. |

09.25.20 | Rodney Mullen is definitely a legend I respect him and love him a whole bunch, but I wouldn't say he's my favorite skateboarder, if I had to pick a favorite freestyle skater I'd probably go with Mike Osterman, or Kilian Martin. |

09.25.20 | "So stoked to see Jamie Thomas mentioned. I've been obsessed with his Chomp on This part for like 13 years." Dude I love him, he's such nice and rad person, he even started one of my favorite skateboard companies, fucking Zero dude. |

Like, I get it's cool to rag on people who would say like Hawk or Nyjah and what not, but come on dude. Mullen is as much of a legend as there is. One of the 5 most significant of all time, and he really is a pleasure to watch. |
