Rodney Mullen is an American professional skateboarder from Gainesville, Florida, born August 17, 1966. He is universally credited as the most influential figure in the development of modern street skating, having invented the flatground ollie, the kickflip, the heelflip, the 360 flip, the impossible, and dozens of other tricks that form the foundation of virtually all contemporary street skateboarding. He won 34 of 35 freestyle contests over a decade, including the world championship at age 14, before transitioning those skills to street terrain. He was a member of Powell Peralta's Bones Brigade, then left to co-found World Industries with Steve Rocco in 1989. He later founded Tensor Trucks and co-founded Almost Skateboards with Daewon Song in 2002. He was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame in 2013. Transworld named him the second most influential skateboarder of all time.
