BLAH!!!!! Rodney Mullen is not considered street, he is freestyle. He is the god of freestyle skating (standing on your board doing tricks in place)

yes yes I know that he does moving tricks too, the famous crooked grind to there is not even a name for it flip out. I dunno it kind looks like a heelflip varial out but its not....
anyways, I have 4 videos of the team he was on like 10 or so years ago. Its called plan B. He does some mesmorizing stuff.

Here are some tricks that boggled my mind:

Impossible - Late kickflip varial.... HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT!?!? He freaken caught the Impossible with his feet then flipped the board into a kickflip varial.

F/S shove it - late DOUBLE kickflip varial off loading dock ... ok again that is wierd.

Darkslides--.. no one can even come close to how clean he does it. He invented the damn thing.

Caspers-- anti casper... again ONE of the only people that can do it clean with the exception of Daewon Song.

But you gotta understand he is doing all of this crap on flat ground, on a SMALL bench, off a loading dock or curb.

You dont see him go for long rails, bug gaps, multiple stairs.
Rodney Mullen couldnt Fronside flip a 10 stair if his life depended on it. He definatly cant grind down a huge handrail either.
Thats what street skating is about. Going fast, Grinding down ledges, not just standing there or doing tricks on little benches.

I give him credit for making up COUNTLESS tricks in his lifetime. He is the best freestyler of all time.

In my opinion:
--------
The best street skaters (I cant pick just one)
Mark Appleyard...clean style, Flip video thats all I gotta say.
Andrew Reynolds..OMG his kickflips down and over shiat is amazing, he catches it and keeps going up in the air.
Arto Saari Rulez
Ali Boulala
Koston is alright, he gets kinda old though
Gershon mosley is pretty good
Rodrico TX
Brandon turner, Switch hardflip Gonz gap.

oh yeah, I edited that list. ^

There are more but cant think.
---------
Best TECH skater
Daewon Song: DECA VIDEO GET IT SKATERS. Second to none is what its called. Anyways his manual tricks are amazing, I cant even describe it. I was in awe watching him.
--------
Best VERT Either Tony Hawk or Bob Burnquist. Id pick bob because of the switch tricks he has and because Tony is not nearly as good with fliptricks as Bob is. Tony has trouble doing kickflip indys... he is a spinner dude.

Freestyle-- Rodney Mullen no contest, he would win standing on his hands only.
