There are tricks he’s doing here that I’ve never seen anyone do...live or on video. ‘Nose manual check slide’....wtf. 360 shovit to manual.... come on buddy. Trick after trick after trick....Rodney is a savage.

I think what people fail to appreciate with Rodney is that, at this point in time, no one was doing anything remotely close to what he was doing. I think too many people approach this with a modern viewpoint, all of modern skating pretty much evolved from Rodney's innovation. Skating wouldn't exist as it does without him and we should all be eternally grateful that we get to witness him in our lifetime

@samrobertson9051

People at the time didn't fail to appreciate it. What he does is amazing, but the thing is, it was totally on a flat plane, geared around the freestyle competition format. So in that sense it had become stagnant, and too contained for the adventure of skateboarding unfortunately. And by 1990 most skated everthing, and even miniramp skating overshadowed it. Heck...we were all 'chink-chinking' and 'rock-to-willy'ing' our asses off.

This had to be one of Rodney’s final summer tours as a straight-up freestyle skater. Plan B started up at the end of he next summer and he was filming for Questionable (street skating on a full-size board) not too long after that. I used to think he kept at it after Rubbish Heap, but that definitely wasn’t the case.
