Skateboarding, anyone?

Some cool videos Jon the seminarian sent me:

1. Roland Rock Skateboard Trailer - featuring a swing version of System of a Down's "Chop Suey." Warning: I think there is some foul langauge in the song ... strangely enough, it wasn't in the original.

2. A guy named Rodney Mullen doing some amazing stuff.

3. Rodney Mullen doing even more amazing stuff to The Clash's excellent song, "Train in Vain."

4. Finally, here's an interview with Mullen. He seems like a very cool guy:

What do you do with your time when you aren’t skating?
My wife says that the best way to describe my life is Forest Gump. I find myself surrounded by extraordinary people that give me unusual opportunities, so I do the best I can. Pretty vague, I know-- sorry. I nerd out a lot with books, computers, & music, and I'm always close to the Bible. Other than that, I hang out with my wife and dogs as much as I can.

Rodney Mullen is a god amongst skateboarders. I don't mean to be too sacreligious...but he is.
