Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.52,0:01:35.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I always had the sense\Nof being an outsider,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.83,0:01:38.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it wasn't until I saw\Npictures in the magazines

Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.52,0:01:45.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because there was no coach\Nstanding directly over you,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.70,0:02:34.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, as she mentioned,\Nthat is overstated for sure,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.90,0:02:38.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that's why they called me\Nthe godfather of modern street skating.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.20,0:02:41.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's some images of that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.04,0:02:49.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I was about halfway\Nthrough my pro career

Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.44,0:02:56.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Freestyle itself -- we developed\Nall these flat ground tricks, as you saw,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.20,0:02:59.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there was evolving\Na new kind of skateboarding,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.48,0:03:04.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where guys were taking it to the streets,\Nand they were using that ollie,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.73,0:03:09.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They were using it to get up\Nonto stuff like bleachers and handrails
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.08,0:03:11.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and over stairwells\Nand all kinds of cool stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.90,0:03:14.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it was evolving upwards.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.18,0:03:16.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, when someone tells you\Nthey're a skater today,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.91,0:03:18.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they pretty much mean a street skater,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.90,0:03:22.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because freestyle, it took about\Nfive years for it to die,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.22,0:03:28.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and at that stage, I'd been a "champion"\Nchampion for 11 years, which --

Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.76,0:03:33.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And suddenly, it was over for me,\Nthat's it -- it was gone.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.33,0:03:35.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They took my pro model off the shelf,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.82,0:03:38.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was essentially\Npronouncing you dead, publicly.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.66,0:03:40.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's how you make your money, you know?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.64,0:03:43.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have a signature board\Nand wheels and shoes and clothes.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.96,0:03:45.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had all that stuff, and it's gone.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.05,0:03:50.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The crazy thing was, there was\Na really liberating sense about it,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.49,0:03:55.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I no longer had to protect\Nmy record as a champion.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.10,0:03:56.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Champion," again.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.30,0:03:58.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Champion sounds so goofy,\Nbut it's what it was, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.88,0:04:02.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What drew me to\Nskateboarding, the freedom,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.50,0:04:05.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was now restored,\Nwhere I could just create things,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.08,0:04:07.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because that's where the joy\Nwas for me, always,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.95,0:04:10.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was creating new stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.15,0:04:13.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other thing that I had\Nwas a deep well of tricks to draw from
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.70,0:04:15.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that were rooted\Nin these flat ground tricks.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.96,0:04:18.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Stuff the normal guys were doing\Nwas very much different.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.98,0:04:20.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, as humbling and rotten as it was —
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.83,0:04:22.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And believe me, it was rotten.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.56,0:04:26.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would go to skate spots,\Nand I was already "famous guy," right?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.93,0:04:28.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And everyone thought I was good,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.76,0:04:31.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in this new terrain, I was horrible.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.08,0:04:34.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So people would go,\N"Oh, what happened to Mullen?"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.38,0:04:37.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.24,0:04:39.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, humbling as it was, I began again.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.91,0:04:44.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here are some tricks that I started\Nto bring to that new terrain.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.38,0:04:48.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And again, there's this undergirding\Nlayer of influence of freestyle --

Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.80,0:04:53.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's, like, the hardest\Nthing I've ever done.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.11,0:04:57.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See how it's sliding on the backside?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.33,0:05:02.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those are super fun,\Nand, actually, not that hard.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.20,0:05:04.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, at the very root\Nof that, see, Caspers,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.82,0:05:06.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,see how you throw it?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.51,0:05:09.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Simple as that, right? No biggie.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.02,0:05:13.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And your front foot,\Nthe way it grabs it --
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.76,0:05:17.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'd seen someone slide\Non the back of the board like that,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.55,0:05:19.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I was like, "How can I get it over?"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.50,0:05:21.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because that had not yet been done.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.23,0:05:24.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then it dawned on me,\Nand here's part of what I'm saying.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.14,0:05:26.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had an infrastructure.\NI had this deep layer,
