Yes, very true !! But in the early - mid 90's I think it where he started inventing new tricks like the late flips when right before you land a trick you kick it to do another flip trick before you land it...very hard at the speeds he does them at...also the dark slide where you slide on your grip tape instead of the graphic of the board. Some of his tricks are so complex you sometimes need slow motion to see all his foot work.

it's all way more fun to do the stuff on bikes. bmx or even mountain bikes produce epic lulz
Danny MacGaskill for example can do mindblowing things. The 360 off a tree was particularly immense fun to watch

Tonight I hung out behind a Food Lion loading dock skating on pallets.
Sure is a lot more fun (and safer) when others are around.

Mullen is my all time favorite skater, but Owen Wilson is up there too:
+1 on Mullen. Insane amount of tricks he invented!
I had no idea Owen Wilson was a skater
speaking of stating actors; Jason Lee:
