Rodney Mullen is the hands down king of
street, not to mention the
inventor of almost every single
modern day street trick (and he hasn't stopped yet). Mullen has been skating since the age of 10, and by 13 he went
pro.
Mullen is a technical god, pulling off heelflip darkslides, 1 1/2 kickflip Kaspers, Kasper Slide to 360 Flip, Impossible to Kaspers (all of which he himself invented) plus many more.
Mullen invented the simplest tricks, from the kickflip,heelflip and 360 flip right up to the brain busting front-foot impossible. Mullen also invented the nollie, underflip (and nollie underflip), nose manual and the legendary handstand kicklip (doing a handstand on the board, in motion, flipping the board and doing a half summersault back onto the board).
If your doing any street trick, its a good chance its Mullen's. Mullen is my single favourite skater of all time. Mullen rides for A-Team.
