Please just stop that will you?


Daewon said himself that a lot of the tricks Rodney does he can't mess with.

Rodney said the same about Daewon.

Looking at videos I would say that Daewon is definitely the better because he is well rounded and owns at the things he skates.

Rodney Mullen doesn't even do transitions for example.

He's probably a god to all of you garage skaters on this forum. To me Rodney is one of those who surprise me every time one of his parts are out. Actually same goes for Daewon. They are both awesome. But personal opinion aside Daewon is better just for the fact he's well rounded.

he only skate flatground think that he invented the ollie in flatground and so many tricks thats because he strart street skating and he do a little of box and the darkslide nosemanual in the round 3 its awesome and think the video who jumps a stair of 8 or 10 idk of kickflip and the another skaters doing 3 stairs of kickflip

You really think no one would have figured out ollie on flat?

Just because he invented tricks doesn't make him better than anyone else.

I'm pretty sure most pro skaters have a better kickflip or 360 flip than Mullen. Thus making them better than Mullen on those particular tricks.

He was definitely "the best" at his prime in the 80s. It's 2008 now and Mullen is what? 41-42 years old? His skill is diminishing.

yes its really easy cuz you have only to jump but maybe gonna take more time and gonna take more time to do the another tricks think that the first ollie was on ramp and years latter mullen in flat think can take more time remember i do it in a freestyle board

Yeah and how does that make Mullen better than anyone today? It doesn't.

Because kids take the "vs" in round 1, 2 and 3 seriously.

When in fact it was a joke to begin with and kids really took it seriously.

well, i dont have a prefered one, but if its a contest id have to say mullen because daewon song is using all the tricks mullen invented. mullen is the father of street skating.

Neither of them.
They both have unique styles, it is the perfect friendship, the perfect skaters because of that...they're styles are so different yet similar in ways.
You just can't mess with the fact they're both insanely awesome.

mr song & mr mullen in my opinion...you can't compare them as far as the BEST goes. Other things like tricks and whatnot...of course but no BEST.
They both rock but I love rodney more of course though song is my 2nd fav.

1) why is there no poll
2) why are we arguing about 2 people on the same great team (Almost if you didnt know)
3) mullen was first and is great but he is getting old, daewon is great and has a great style
5) any further questions

Then how come his video parts keep getting better?

Either way I can't decide, and the best thing about it is, I don't have to.

Haha negative rep for making a comment on how tired I am of seeing this Rodney or Daewon thread. There is a new one at least every 3 or 4 days I swear.

and plus theres so much more out there go look up some ams or not well known pros trust me you'll find some interesting things

john motta is one example..
