For those who like TED talks, i thought Rodney Mullen did an amazing job. It also hits home with some situations us as skiers face in everyday life.

I'm actually really impressed. I'm glad to see he's doing something besides inventing new tricks.

he is just the definition of the man. literally everything that people call "skating" today can be traced back to him in some way. unreal. true definition of a guy who just loves what he does

DAM

What a true inspiration. I always knew he was one of the best but had no idea of his humility. And his talk connected well with the skiing community. Very nice Ted Talk man

Mullen is a legend ... I remember when I was 8, I used to watch Almost Round 3 over and over, I built this bank thing in my back garden, and ended up dicking myself on it everytime
