Not true.

Rodney is a Tech/Freestyler you cannot compare him to most other skaters because he doesnt skate sets or gaps or handrails like most of us do. Its like trying to say that Bode Miller is "better" than Tanner Hall. Although i do respect Rodney highly i think he is one of the best freestyle skaters.

he may not be the best in comps, or on gaps or handrails, but he has invented about 40-50 tricks most of which most skaters, even pros, still to this day cannot do.

Fact: Daewong song can do tons of stuff that rodney mullen can do.

Rodney mullen does wierd shit that pros dont spend time trying. Doing stuff down wallenburg would take way more skill then what rodney mullen does.

I've never been into skating but that was so sick. I always thought the flat ground shit I did in Tony Hawk was impossible, until now. Thats the kind of fun shit I wish I could do if I skated.

Haha I remember that section. I always liked Rodney because he never left the baggy-pants-steeze of the 90s. It looks so much better than all the damn ugly tight-pants-skater kids today. He will always be known as an innovator, but always controversial too. People love him and people hate him. Thats how it's always been.

i don't think that mullen invented the ollie, i'm pretty sure it was Alan "Ollie" Gelfand (wikipedia). And I believe Tony Hawk was the one who took it to vert ramps to replace the early-grab.

nobody invented an ollie in a pool, pool/vert skating was all about early-grab airs until tony hawk started ollieing. and gelfand = flatground ollie
