TRE FLIP DARKSLIDE | IMPOSSIBLE TRICKS OF RODNEY MULLEN 

Nobody has ever used the words “warmup” and “kickflip darkslide” in the same sentence before this video.

“You don’t know the power of the Darkslide.” ~ Darth Mullen, probably

After seeing this man's attempts, it is no surprise to me that he's quite skilled at skating. Dude's got heart.

1:40 when you tell ur buddies you landed a few darkslides.

Bro, you should make a compilation of all these tricks in a video.

Always thought a giger counter was for measuring radiation, but turns it's used to measure steez!

2:18 "..and he did it switch as well" AH OKAY

Jonny is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kickflip three men in a bar...

Anybody watch skate videos and can’t skate to save their life? Oh just me....I’ll take the L 🥴

I just turned 40 and haven't skated in 20 years. Been watching your videos for about two months now and decided to pick up a board yesterday. Thanks for your videos and your dedication man, it's really inspired me. 🙏

"Before I scratch off these edges, I'm going to warm up on these ledges." Shakespeare is trembling in his grave

Dude you are a banger and one of my faves for real. 200+ tries, still trying, still smiling and not once did you focus or huck your board. These new kids need you! Stay sick homie.

I really love the Rodney Mullen inspired stuff such a legend and you execute it very well thanks for inspiring this 40-year-old to still be a skater

I like how your darkslide landings were getting more and more consistent, that was definitely the key

6:22 Sliding in the DM’s be like

I like how you show all your attempts until you not only land it for the first time but, until your can land them clean until they're consistent. You're a true master of your craft.

I've been a huge fan of Rodney Mullen since 1992. He's the one who inspired me to start skating way back then. I unfortunately had some things happen in my life and I dropped skating for 20 years. I started watching you 2 years ago. You inspired me to start skating again. Means alot to me. You have so much insane talent, dedication, and passion for skating man. I'm always excited to see you rip! You're definitely one of the greats!!

1:08 the guys peeing back there lmao

this was dope!

Giger, you are such an inspiration, man. You had a bunch of makes in there that anyone would have taken. But not Jonny “NOT GOOD ENOUGH” Giger. Your pursuit of perfection is super inspiring.

Bad. Ass. Let this be a lesson for everyone. Doesn't matter what you do, you gotta try and try again until you're happy and satisfied. 230 failures is an accomplishment because you didn't quit. You didn't let the trick defeat you. Your determination won out. Jonny, this will sound corny, but I just turned 32 and I rode a skateboard for the first time in at least a decade for the heck of it. I could still Ollie. After I did that, a handful of kids ran up to me and wanted me to teach them how. One of them popped a legit Ollie. Your videos get me pumped and want to pick up skating again. Thanks!

dude you did so many lands that other people woulda been satisfied with, but you kept on going for the perfect one. Giger is a true skate G.O.A.T

i really enjoy the fact you put a realistic counter the amount of attempt this took you to learn yourself. this gives kids a much more realistic expectation of how long something is going to take and the dedication and hard work needed.

That one friend that says “1 more time” but gets it only after 239

Your dedication to the mastery of Rodney Mullen is genuinely touching.

This was amazing!! I’m currently battling it and today will be day 3 I’m not doing it the Mullen way I have my right foot in the middle of the board but just the fact that it’s an epic trick I think it’s safe to say Mullen would be proud. Hyped you landed it man and you did it more than once 🙌🏻

That's why rodney will forever be the greatest...these tricks and almost all freestyle tricks were invented by him. His creativity allowed for this sport to even progress.

A new fan, by the time you were in the 230s it felt so clean and exhilarating to see you land them. Bravo.

maan this is insane perfectionism, a bit like andrew reynolds but jonny doesnt have those anger issue xD.. too likeable this dude

Dude you rock! Cheers from Cali! I miss skating, but 51 now and my old injuries all caught up to me, no boarding for me anymore sadly but great to see you guys out there rockin it! Keep pushin it and having fun for us who can't bro! \o/ You're really accurate with your footwork, it's so cool!

the tre darkslide was cool, but damn those flat ground tricks at the end were really sweet.

Watching u skate and being so determined to land ur tricks inspired me to go out in the stormy weather and try something new. Spent 2 h and then finally landed my first Nollie varial heel! Never tried it before but with the inspiration I got from u I actually made it!! ❤

9:34 my character when I keep restarting from checkpoint in skate 3

another epic trick landed congrats! now a lazer flip darkslide for the next time!

Props to this guy showing us what it actually takes to do even one trick. I love it so much more than just a clip of the trick

Imagine how many times Rodney tried different variations of this trick before he landed it on camera. Man was a skate machine.

1:07 : Well, when you gotta go...

Wow! That’s a hard trick. Rodney is fast! Seems like his slow motion is giger’s normal speed 🤙🏼

This "Mullen Trick" is one of most difficult ever! Rodney Mullen must be an alien, no way! Congrats, Giger! Making history possible hahah

I LOVE the "Giger Counter" You have to bring that back, too funny.

Rodney Mullen is such an og, this is a whole series now like 20 years later

10:18 is when he lands it No like payment is neccessary

Way to persevere man. That was amazing patience. I love the old rodney mullen videos, he's my favorite by far.

Giger counter 130: the look that says 'hey! quiet in the cheap seats!' A lesson in persistence & a great vid. The best part about hanging in there is once you crack something your average success rate goes up real quick lol- first 200~ tries you were 200~ for 0. At 1,000 times I reckon you'll be at like an 65~% success rate :D

Congratulations on the 300k subs!! Keep up the amazing work!!!

Keep killing it Jonny! Awesome video as always!

Anybody else would kill to get a flukey darkslide, Mr Giger spends all day executing sick darkslides with a variety of tricks in. Nice job as always dude!

I respect the struggle. The counter was sick. People dont often think about how many tries it takes to get these higher level tricks on lock. Not to mention how many times you have to land it sketchy before you get clean footage.

Bruh that skatepark is near my college. I am shook. That ledge is where I learned to boardslide, surreal to see jonny there, it's such a random park.

8:33 is so hilarious!!!

Your determination is INSPIRING. Thank you.

First time watching. Loved it! Made me remember how hard I tried to learn 360 flips on their own. I miss skating every day. I'm gonna live vicariously through you sir. Thankyou for this video

KEEP THE GIGER COUNTER. Its excellent.

You put counter! Helll yea dude👊🏽

I just love how you try this things over and over again where most people wouldn’t even try it because they give up just by watching it. Especially the first part just doing a „normal“ Darkslide just to warm up 😂 People reaction must be funny. I’ve never seen that and I also never make it cause I was never good at skating. Darkslide was always one of my favorite tricks to watch, first I‘ve seen it ( of course Rodney did it in the THPS 2 Intro ) I couldn’t believe it, that this is possible. I was a child, so forgive me my naiv thinking 😂 But how you kill it with the 360 Flip Darkslide, was just amazing. I hope Rodney watch your videos too 👍🏻

Your commitment to a smooth landing is impeccable. Glad you made the vid, you deserve mad props! And camera mans Backfoot tricks were a killer finish!

man, i like how he stays calm about messing up and perseveres anyway

1:50 when u tell ur friends u can darkslide

Oh man you wanted to land 131 so bad. It hurts when you can feel it coming so close. EXCELLENT WORK!

This guy's dedication is amazing. Most skaters only show themselves landing the tricks. This guy shows what it's really like to skate

Jonny is a beast, dude is seriously dedicated!

I love how you don't settle for sketchy! Most of this skateboarding generation lands a trick sketchy once and goes around telling everyone they learned a new trick. Flickandpray is the new way of skating

first time watching, this guys is so CLEAN. all his tricks look so smoth.

Dedication like Mullen!!!!!!!! Keep it up man. You will be one of the greats. You are already... Keep that deep mind muscle focus like Mullen... You can never drop that focus to be like him.

Hey Jonny Giger! Love the Giger counter! Hope it is a regular thing now! Ride ride ride!

This shows just how good Rodney Mullen is. And how dedicated Jonny is.

Johnny I've watched you come so far brother , I'm a fellow skater and u my have just set a whole new bar. this video reveals it even more. without disrespecting other greats I will say this , Johnny is in the top 5 world's best skaters in our time. much love brother be safe , live modestly and humble , when u reach old age ur life will not be weighed with mistakes it will be lifted by honor and respect. peace bro

Not only you did it, but also you did 240 perfect tre flips. That's sick!

Skaters learn to keep going in the face of feeling constant failure

5:20 dude in the back is like "how tf did he do that" lmao

I thought that was only possible in skateboarding games, I skated through my early years an all through my teens I was decent enough to make what tricks I could do look good an had a little style but the stuff people are doing today I thought I would never see or even thought of them but I'm glad I'm around to witness such greatness

This is wat skating is about.. Imagine making up this trick and showing it off for the first time. Great dedication and patience, wauw!

But where's the switch

imagine a 8 year old kid just does it on then rail in the backround

You, Sir are the embodiment of persiverience. Thank you for your dedication.

Seriously I find it so dope that you're recreating some of Rodney Mullens greatest tricks! You are damn good to be able to pull them off

Jonny Giger "I've never seen anyone do this before" 10 year old on Skateline "Hold my rootbeer"

Lmao 8:38 😂🤣☠️ "Not good enough!" *Crack*💥

You are an incredibly dedicated athlete my friend. I find this stuff sooooo entertaining, thanks man

This video just proves with time and dedication that anything can be done. it's all about failing over and over until u get it perfect.

That kid going “Oooooooh ho ho” witnessed greatness

I did this like 3rd try on skate 3 you amateur... jk this is crazy 😂😂

Diligence in motion. Great editing btw, and props for landing it right. I’ll be watching from now on!

Your persistence just earned you another sub, awesome vid man

1:08 My mans bussin in a bush 😂

Oh god, the camera sensor is very disgusting 😂

Man I don't even skateboard. I just like watching it, but it's cool how you show how hard you worked on these tricks. Difficult not to be inspired by this stuff. GG!

I thought it was going to go way into the night... it would with me! Ace vid and we’ll done. Perseverance dude!

7:17 treflip darkslide front foot impossible out?😂😂

I feel like Mullen was going faster. Maybe some more speed could help you

Love watching your skate videos and it’s refreshing to see all the times you missed the trick makes the landing more amazing congrats 🥳

I love watching pro's and just really good skaters fail and fail and finally get one trick way more than watch just a trick video. give me hope!

As if by magic when I was wondering what to watch..

1:07 the guy in the back taking a piss😂

Your dedication truly amazes me. Huge respect.

This is awesome you are learning this trick the same way Rodney learned how to do this trick except we didn't get to see him thank you.

Great personality, never loses his temper

Finger flip dark slide?😯

Humans are wild. After 200+ attempts with landing it a few times, it clicked and you did what 4 or 5 in a row? Great effort and thanks for sharing!

I like how you don't give up till the trick is finished 👏🏼👏🏼🔥
