Rodney Mullen's part in Globe's 2001 video Opinion, mixing his technical freestyle tricks with standard street skating. This upload is a cleaner copy of a part that was hard to find in good quality.

Why skaters like it

Skaters point to it as a mix of Rodney's technical style and street skating, and come back to it to study tricks like the crossfoot variations and the 4:53 underflip.

“His part in the Globe Opinion video [VIDEO] is a great mix of his super technical style with more standard street style.”

Crossfoot landings were a standard freestyle maneuver, there just wasn't the rampant video footage to document it like there is now. Part of Rodney's sequence in Opinion has crossfoot variations. This video debuted in 2001 [VIDEO]. Safe to say Killian Martin wasn't doing crossfoots back then.
