Rodney Mullen Is Back With a ‘Revolution’

Written by Teunis Felter

The godfather of modern skateboarding just finished editing his first full video in over a decade. The project wrapped recently in New York, where Rodney Mullen spent the past two months working with photographer Steven Sebring. Four-minutes long, the edit demonstrates a combination of the legendary pros early freestyle roots with his present-day “stanceless” approach. Tricks range from 540 fingerflip variations and pogo-flips, to a kickflip-underflip and a switch nollie laserflip that will redefine what we think of as “switch.” Widely considered one of the best and most influential skateboarders in the world, back in the day Mullen pioneered most of the sport’s fundamentals, including the flat-ground Ollie, the kickflip and the 360 flip.
