The walking in place trick. It rocks.

Thats Rodney Mullen, you should see him now.

some of his tricks are unreal.

The preload image of this guy in his pre-teen Japanese kaiji movie hero shorts paired with old man socks had me convinced that the description was ironic.

Wow. It was not.

Five stars for it being a video on Poetv that had me rooting for the skateboarder *not* to faceplant.

Five Stars for the lady sitting on the bench alone (knitting?) refusing to pay attention to the skating, because she's seen it all a million times.

Isn't it funny how this concept of "freestyle skating" totally lost out to "street skating."

Whatever happened to, "No, thank you, sir. I'll just skate in this little spot. But I'll kill it!"

Rodney Mullen was doing 21st century tricks in the '80s

It not only blew my mind, but blows my mind as well

At first I thought "the way this guy is dressed, he must think he is Rodney Mullen." Well, shit.

I never realized Rodney was so old.

The man is a freak.

Ye...
Whoo...
Yeah!!

OK, so I was a serious rock climber for over a decade. I was never great, but I did 5.12s when I was in form. What I'm saying is, my balance is pretty great. But this guy? Jesus fucking Christ.
