Rodney Mullen's freestyle contest run at Del Mar in 1986, filmed during his Powell Peralta Bones Brigade years. It is a short clip of flatground board control with no street or transition terrain.

Why skaters like it

Linked as a clear example of 80s freestyle, where a skater stays in a tiny area and shows pure board control instead of using spots.

“he moves like a total of 6 feet. Atleast to me street skating is about using your environment around you where as freestyle is more about just straight board control”

I know exactly what your talking about but freestyle isn't done going fast or on streets. Check out the Del Mar contest from 1986 [VIDEO] he moves like a total of 6 feet. Atleast to me street skating is about using your environment around you where as freestyle is more about just straight board control
