Rodney Mullen TED Talk (at USC)

This is an awesome watch. A nice little 18m video of Rodney just talking about his skating career, love of progression, and how he approaches things.

That was amazing. Didnt feel like 18 minutes at all. he could've kept on going for another 18 minutes.

Haha, he faceplanted as a kid skateboarding and cracked his teeth pretty nastily.
A few years back he was eating a sandwich and it just broke out. As to why it has
never been been fixed... Well, there are lots of thoughts, but I like the idea that
its because he and his dad (who is a dentist) have a very disfunctional relationship.

Here is an old interview (Circa 2009) that explains it:
