      Shreding the fuckin gnar warning is more like it.dude has invented more tricks than these kids even know.

      I was huge into the “thrasher” skateboard scene in the mid 80’s. We soaked up any and everything related to the sport despite living in a rural area.
      I had the privilege of watching Rodney up close as he performed at a JC Penny in a mall in Dallas, Tx.

      He really went “I’ll try spinning – that’s a good trick!” Boring.

      I can spin in place, and I don’t need a skateboard to do it. Me > Mulligan

    4. The Bone Brigade documentary from a few years ago was so interesting. Learned a lot about Mullens in that movie, especially how we developed new tricks for each competition. Very unique combination of talent in that group.
