Rodney Mullen #8.



Ledge Freestyle.

What's going to happen to Rodney with all the restructuring at Dwindle? How crappy of a CEO would you be if you fired Rodney Mullen from a skateboard company? I'm assuming he's basically set for life with money by virtue of being in on the ground floor at World Industries so that's not a problem. I'm talking more about the team management and product development side of things. From the stories you hear about Rodney over the years is that he looks after the skaters on the team and is genuinely concerned about their well being. For example, he kept in contact with guys like Daewon Song and Kareem Campbell when they momentarily drifted away skating and brought them back into the fold. I know there are plenty of more stories like that. At this point it looks like we have to sit back and see what happens next with the developing saga at Dwindle.

Shout out to Sean Villars for doing Skateboardle. I am not a gamer at all, but I got into doing the daily video challenge. He's wrapping up the site on February 16th due to time constraints. My all time best was guessing Timecode without even playing the first clip, although that one was pretty dang easy.
