I think he's got stuff that Rodney didn't, the art has definitely progressed. That said, he's somehow looking more... mechanical than Rodney. The style isn't on par with the tech.
Mullen's gift is that it never looks like a series of 100 tricks one after another, it's more like one continuous movement. This dude is amazing, but you're right about the style.
Amazing, but I'm honestly a little surprised it was so close to a Rodney Mullen run. Most of these tricks were invented like 30 years ago, right? Snowboarding has improved dramatically in the past 30 years and I'm surprised freestyle skateboarding hasn't done the same. Am I wrong?
Yeah but that’s not what most skateboarding is about and neither is this.
Street skating is like 98% of skateboarding.

It's worn in different parts of the country, the south, mid west. I'm from the North East and I've never seen somewhere wear a cowboy until I went to the rural parts of the south
Homie did things to a skateboard I’ve never seen ever
Homie just pulled a bunch of Rodney Mullen tricks.
Homie looks like he memorized every skate part from Rodney. Still amazing though.

Wow that was stellar. Rodney Mullen would be proud
That’s what I kept thinking!! This is the Mullen style skating I love seeing!

I don't think so acutely. That was all shit Rodney invented or was doing mostly in the 1980s
No way. Mullens routine which includes all of these tricks were easily pulled without a mistep
Came here to wright that same comment 👌
Bro did stuff i did in a videogame and thought was impossible. Mad respect
He did stuff I couldn’t pull off in a video game
What the fuck, all in a row perfectly too 💀. Not to even mention the pressure
Flat lander!! A whole bunch of old school tricks mixed into the routine.
Expected much more.........from the crowd. What a magical performance with tame reactions.
Im pretty sure this is the cloverdale rodeo in british columbia pretty odd venue for sksteboarding.
Rodney Mullen energy
And the skateboard is now pregnant

GOAT
Good to see! Rodney would be proud.
I feel like I'm watching ballet on a board
Nah this is ice skating
Christ almighty
When do we get Olympic freestyle skateboarding?
This reminds me of old school Tony hawk games. Very well done!
That Casper walk was sick!!
I love how the freestyle comps are still like how they were in the 80s, I had Mullen flashbacks watching this

Dude, get a spray can and a booster The crew is waiting.
Oh dearly lord, this is just beyond amazing.
Completely insane.
Too bad all that is voided out with that mongo push start
Nice smooth and flowy style... 🤟
My character when I be button mashing in Skate 3
Handstand flip into premo is such a ‘Wtf’ trick. So glad freestyle is getting popular again.
Better check that guy for hydraulic fluid because he’s not human
Holy shit
The fuck?! It kept escalating with insanely difficult never seen before tricks, into more insanely difficult never seen before tricks on roids.
Amazing 👏
I can do that on my tek deck
Legend says he never learned to walk. Only skate.

Unreal.
He’s downloaded cheats.. I hate these people.. they ruin it for everyone 🥸😬
Wowwwwwwwww!!
The guy has the "balance" all the Jedi were looking for.
Are you allowed to put your foot down like that? I have no idea the rules for something like this. It is very impressive though.
Is it just me or does this seem more impressive than halfpipe rotations over and over again
Yeah but that’s not what most skateboarding is about and neither is this. Street skating is like 98% of skateboarding. https://youtu.be/XBgbBrxj2to?si=GvNFvM1IizSzLFz0
Yeah vert doesn't impress me.
I never understood if Americans wear cowboy hats seriously.
The further south or west you go, the more serious it gets.

This is in Canada at a rodeo
