Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.32,0:02:15.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because there was no coach\Nstanding directly over you,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.13,0:03:36.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They were using it to get up\Nonto stuff like bleachers and handrails

Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.30,0:03:41.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it was evolving upwards.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.58,0:03:44.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, when someone tells you\Nthey're a skater today,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.16,0:04:00.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And suddenly, it was over for me,\Nthat's it... it was gone.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.73,0:04:03.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They took my pro model off the shelf,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.22,0:04:06.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was essentially\Npronouncing you dead, publicly.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.45,0:04:18.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The crazy thing was, there was\Na really liberating sense about it,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.29,0:04:22.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I no longer had to protect\Nmy record as a champion.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.58,0:04:30.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What drew me to\Nskateboarding, the freedom,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.70,0:04:33.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was now restored,\Nwhere I could just create things,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.28,0:04:36.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because that's where the joy\Nwas for me, always,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.15,0:04:38.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was creating new stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.35,0:04:41.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other thing that I had\Nwas a deep well of tricks to draw from

Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.16,0:04:47.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Stuff the normal guys were doing\Nwas very much different.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.18,0:04:49.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, as humbling and rotten as it was...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.13,0:04:50.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And believe me, it was rotten.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.86,0:04:55.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would go to skate spots,\Nand I was already "famous guy," right?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.23,0:04:57.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And everyone thought I was good,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.06,0:04:59.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in this new terrain, I was horrible.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.38,0:05:03.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So people would go,\N"Oh, what happened to Mullen?"

Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.14,0:05:07.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, humbling as it was, I began again.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.81,0:05:12.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here are some tricks that I started\Nto bring to that new terrain.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.28,0:05:16.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And again, there's this undergirding\Nlayer of influence of freestyle...
