Rodney Mullen

I think Rodney Mullen is an amazing skater, but there are things I don't like about him. First I'm going to say why I like him.

Rodney Mullen, like Bob Burnquist, made a lot of changes to skateboarding. He invented the flat ground ollie, which is the one almost everyone uses. He also invented the curves to the sides of skateboard, I cant remember what that does, but it does help in skateboarding. He is also called the king of skate. He's a freestyle, and street skater.

I don't like him because I read his biography. He swears, and he claims to be a Christian. Then he calls the Bible a book for geeks, or a nerd book. What kind of Christian would do that?

Tony or Bob?

I know a lot of people say Tony Hawk is better than any other skater, but I believe that Bob Burnquist is the best. I mean he is the king of skateboarding. Watch the videos I put up of Bob, I'll put more up of him soon, but once you watch those, you'll think the same thing I do. I'll put some up of Tony Hawk also.

Bob Burnquist made changes to the skating history, he helped us move ahead. He did things other people didn't think was possible, and he believed in his ideas. When people said the skating history wouldn't, and couldn't move ahead, they were wrong. I love Bob Burnquist. I used to like Bucky Lasek, but now it's Bob Burnquist.
