Rodney Mullen

Questionable, Plan B, 1992 The godfather of flatground flip tricks steps off his freestyle board and into the street. Rodney Mullen opens with classic freestyle on flat ground, then carries that vocabulary across public terrain, debuting the kickflip underflip and the Casper slide along the way. It is the hinge between the freestyle era and modern technical street skating, and the darkslide he showed a year later in Virtual Reality grew from the same shift. Essential for anyone who loves tech.
