Nick Mullins "A New Beginning" Mini Ramp Video
I think nick mullins is somewhere close to being completely blind now, but in old footy below he had something like 20% percent vision his good eye and none in the other and he still fucking killed it, dude is insanely good

this dude is awesome! skateboarding is the best thing ever.

That was so sick. I remember there was a little article about him in a magazine awhile back and being really stoked on it.

Damn, those cats are better than most of the dudes on this website!

is Nick Mullins completely blind now ?

popsiclesandskatin · « **Reply #6 on:** January 08, 2013, 05:09:10 PM »

Nick Mullins is so sick. It's unbelievable the lip tricks, air tricks, and combos he has still. He can put up a good game of flat ground skate but you will never ever beat him on a mini ramp.

The muscle memory must be insane in these two. The bowl Tommy was skating is super complex, idk how he could memorize that. It's enough trouble for me to do it with my eyes open.

This dude makes me feel like a bitch for stressing about stupid shit.

wow, nick is amazing, an inspiration.

Box of Frogs · « **Reply #12 on:** January 09, 2013, 05:35:59 AM »

It says alot about how important the feeling of skating is. He is without (atleast what I thought before seeing this) the most important sense when it comes to skating but he still get that feeling without it that keeps us all going.

this kid is awesome. ive seen him skating that park (northbrook) before. amazing how he gets around. also saw him hang up on a rock to fakie pretty bad in the deeper end of the bowl. props

Bitter · « **Reply #17 on:** January 09, 2013, 11:40:37 AM »

Dude is awesome. I wonder where he draws his influences and inspiration from? It's not like he's flipping through a magazine or watching his favorite part to get stoked. Does someone verbally explain tricks to him or physically walk him through them? Would he be stoked on listening to skate videos, since that's one of the sense he uses most for skating? He must have a really undiluted love for skateboarding compared to a lot of us.

Deekay · « **Reply #18 on:** January 09, 2013, 01:26:16 PM »

Fucking unlimited respect for this guy. Going after what you love no matter what, so rad.

ive skated with him and hes a cool guy. it was crazy having him push through the city. you can explain trick combos pretty easily as im sure someones already explained alot of tricks more in depth to him

Can anyone fill us in on Nick Mullins? I thought his condition would improve not get worse...bummer if thats true...

StopSnitchinCuz · « **Reply #21 on:** January 09, 2013, 05:10:20 PM »

Amazing. Dam, I don't think I can ever bitch about not being able to do a trick

StopSnitchinCuz · « **Reply #22 on:** January 09, 2013, 05:12:49 PM »

What im trippin on though is how does he even know what to do with a skateboard. He of course hasnt been able to look at videos or mags and yet he is still doing tricks, this kid is rad

flapJack · « **Reply #23 on:** January 09, 2013, 05:21:58 PM »

This is so amazing on so many levels.

For one, i would never consider skating if i was blind having never seen it. I would have to make music or something.

Also im a sucker for roastbeefs

Lance · « **Reply #24 on:** January 10, 2013, 09:43:22 AM »

That was really awesome. The up most respect to him.
