Respect where it's due. He's a charming, meek, respectful and professional man...something skaters these days have an intense lack of.

Also an MIT graduate I believe. Hell of a math whiz.
He used to do his freestyle routines blindfolded when practicing for his contests as a kid.
The guy's a machine.

truth be told; i have always wanted to be able to do a darkside. i ruined so many tape jobs trying to learn that.

He was great in Public Domain that 'one take' session on the tennis courts.

there is a great "On Skateboarding" episode (episode? it is a video magazine, so I guess it applies) on Rodney Mullen...
and on Natas!

he's the coolest geek around. And one hell of a decent chap with it. He let's the work do the talking so to speak - come of the kids today should get on with it a bit more and drop the attitude and BS...

lets not forget where he learned all of his innovative tricks from:

that contest run is ace.

agreed, he has always kicked ass. I think that it was him, Per, Gonz, Jason Lee and Matt Henseley that made street skating what it is today.
Now the damn kids have no respect and treat the sport as a lifestyle instead of a sport.
