i know i saw this not long after it happened, but i didn't notice until now how he was synching his moves with the music at the beginning, that's pretty cool
It's a rarity you see someone clearly decades ahead of their time with talent, mind and everything. Rodney was that for skateboarding, quite literally decades ahead of his time.
@@codeboy_henry remember watching gleaming the cube and dog town and then going out in the housing estate looking for something thing to make as a kicker of sorts and wondering how the hell did boards stivk to their feet. I was 15 then and spending most my nights after school at the multi storey car park. Great times.👍
I was 14 here and the weird thing is Rodney didn't get no where the respect he does today because everyone hated freestyle and you would get made fun off doing freestyle tricks plus nobody knew he invented almost every trick we were doing street skateboarding, everyone knew he was the one and only king of freestyle but most street skaters didn't even try most of his tricks until Rodney switched to street skating.
Sadly as street skaters in the 80's we had no real concept of where half our tricks came from and used to laugh freetstyle skating, skip their vid parts etc. but damn we weren't busting out ollie impossibles like that until years later.
Today you see guys on youtube trying a couple of the tricks rodney pulled of for like a 100 times, until they nail it a single time for video. But rodney did all this in sequence with just on or two blunders... Has there every anyone become that good? I don't mean able to do all those tricks, but do them all in sequence with such security?
The final runs of the other skaters who placed in the top 10 are on the channel. But keep in mind that it’s only one run of possibly 4 that happened over the course of two days.
