“Vert skating was the kind of skating that was done in pools, where you could get airborne and be weightless. The other style, which is what I did, was called free style, which was tricks you could do on flat ground.” KindDoneStyleTricksFlatsPoolSkatingAirborne Author:Rodney Mullen
“I fell in love with skateboarding because it was individual; there were no teams, there were no captains, there was nothing to perfect. No style that had to be measured. It was completely opposite of what I saw in so many sports. It was creative. And to this day, that's what I love, that's always kept me back to it because it's endless creation.” IndividualSportsPerfectCreativeSawsTeamStyleCreationOppositesEndlessThis DayCaptainsSkateboarding Author:Rodney Mullen
