2. For my TED speaker I actually found one of
my longer skateboard hero’s, in Rodney
Mullen. He’s probably one of the most
innovative skateboarders ever. And the
only reason I say that is because he
invented most of the tricks that are used
today. He invented the Ollie, The Kickflip,
and the 360 Flip. These tricks are still used
by every skateboarder in the World!
10. Rodney Mullen captured his
audience by showing them a peak
into his world. He showed video
footage of a variety of different
tricks he has done in difference
places. Captivating the audience
with his brand of Creativity.

14. Mullen’s presentation was
very good in my opinion.
But I was a skateboarder
for years, and he was
always one of my favorites.
So my opinion could be a
little bias. Ha-ha. I’d give
him a 4 though. Mullen’s
delivery I felt was more the
exceptional because you
could feel how passionate
he still is about his art. His
creative WORLD.
SKATEBOARDING.

17. Rodney was given a lot early in his life, a
lot like myself. Had a lot then the world
around you changes and your left with
nothing. I learned that it’s all about the
journey, the ride. Not about what you
have accomplished, or what you have
gained. Even more so, creativity is key. Is
all about being innovative and recreating
yourself. Always on top of your game, not
because of what you will be rewarded.
But because you love what you are doing!

19. TOne huge comparative that I saw
between all the videos was creation is
pure. Something that we all have the
ability to be good at. But we have to
say with it, and not just grow out of it
like an adolescent phase. Rodney
Mullen is one of the greatest in his
business, EVER. And you can still see
how child-like he still is, at the age of
46. Which is great, statistically
speaking we are more curious and
have more creative potential as
children. So why not strive to be just a
little more like a kid.
