Rodney is a genuis.

He goes out to skate at like 3am so that he is alone and can concentrate. He changed not only street skating but vert skating as much as anyone, even the GOAT of vert Tony Hawk. I'm too old and my health is too bad to do it now but I think of it multiple times a day and miss it terribly. I miss doing backside airs and backside ollies on vert ramps most of all. It was like floating and you can hear your wheels spinning as you are in the air. I'll hear that sound till I die.
Thanks for posting EarlG!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
