Kid is really good.. He even takes Rodney's tricks and makes them harder in some cases.. Higher uhmmm.. degree of difficulty..

Spunky · 11-23-2008, 10:52 PM

Incredible balance.

aico · 11-23-2008, 10:53 PM

eh, he's doing the tricks, yes, but he has absolutely zero style.

not feeling it

jollyperv · 11-23-2008, 10:59 PM

Freestyle stuff is only fun to watch for about 30 seconds at a time...pretty much has no place in modern skating. Now if he was throwing himself down a 15 stair handrail at top fucking speed while doing some of that shit, that's another story.

That's the beauty of skating, though...kid's having a blast doing his own thing.

Ketchup · 11-23-2008, 11:05 PM

holy shit talk about the pressure on the kid

Fags? For those that are strictly street skaters - maybe, Dan Gesmer, definitely, but pool, pipe and even downhill skaters? hell no.

Here is Danny Way fucking himself up again the other day (2 or 3 vertebrae crushed I think). Dude has balls (and plates, pins and screws) of steel.

'Tis dangerous to have an unquenchable need for that buzz...

Strickie · 11-24-2008, 07:55 AM

Some pretty insane tricks there. You should check out daewon song, he gives Rodney a run for his money.

The Duck · 11-24-2008, 08:01 AM

He is very skilled.

Kevin Cunningham · 11-24-2008, 08:07 AM

people have no idea how hard that shit is. kid is very talented.

Peter Romero · 11-24-2008, 09:25 AM

He's very good, one of the best I've seen. But not even close to as good as Rodney. I've been skating with Rodney and watching him skate since the early 80's. And one thing that sets Rodney Mullen apart from EVERYONE ELSE's style is the speed and ease of what he does. He is always amazed himself of how easy and how wired he's got shit. That's the best part about watching him. Then, in the last 10-15 years - he took all his tricks to the street and does them fast, over benches and curbs and up onto objects too. This kid is young, and could catch Rodney someday, but in my opinion - he's got a long way to go to be better than Rodney Mullen.

On a side note: I didn't knbow you were a skater Socks. Do-tell, dotell.

justinsain · 11-24-2008, 09:50 AM

Rodney Mullen is one of a kind

My first skateboard had metal wheels

Here I am back around 1977 going vert on a skateboard I made in school shop

Violetta · 11-24-2008, 09:51 AM

hehe... nice! But I'd still place my money on rodney!

tranza · 11-24-2008, 09:51 AM

He has some serious skills

alexchechs · 11-24-2008, 10:23 AM

timebomb011 · 11-24-2008, 11:27 AM

mad skills...BUT could he go any slower? could he have any less style? could he seem more like a mullen rip off?

Looks like they're going to have to raise the roof! Thanks for taking the time to post that

There's about a ten year difference between our pictures and it got me to thinking about skateboarding progression.
Around the time of my pic urethane wheels and wider trucks were just coming out and the big tricks were multiple 360s and grinding the coping.

Fast forward to your pic and skaters have taken to the air and today they are pulling multiple 360s off the ramp in the air,

Sticking with the tread the question was asked if this kid was the next Rodney Mullen and I'm thinking there will never be another Rodney.
Someone can come along and duplicate his tricks but what will always set Rodney apart is his vision, innovation and style.
He blazed the trail for others to follow and perhaps duplicate but unless they can innovate like Rodney they are merely following his footsteps.

Here's a really cool video Of Rodney I found on youtube.

Notice the first trick he has no front truck and later where he grinds using the deck
