Tony Hawk's Proving Ground - Rodney Mullen

I wasn't going to buy this anyway, but hearing these overgrown children wittering on about leverage points and suchlike makes me want to set fire to their ridiculous baggy trousers and their wheeled planks of wood. Grow up.

Saying that about Rodney Mullen is a bit like saying Picasso should have stopped faffing around so much and painted some proper naturalistic landscapes instead of his childish nonsense.

But admittedly, the video didn't do very much to convey the utter amazingness of Mullen's abilities.

Agreed, the man is an incredible athlete. His ground trick stuff is simply awesome in the truest sense of the word. I'm not a skater, or even someone who really finds it particularly interesting, but you've got to give props to anyone who can do this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1U-cgn3cEGA
