I heard Rodney made up 90 percent of his tricks after his first acid trip in Daytona beach in 1983. He dosnt talk about it but  basically from what I understand modern skateboarding(every flip trick invented) is  because of lsd. Rodney would just hang out in his parents garage tripping on acid making tricks up.  The impossible was Rodney trying to describe that yes album fragile as a trick. Which he would practice to. He never came down. Acid casualty but The Godfather of every single flip trick.

As a result, he also thinks he’s a glass of room temp water which is why he has avoided having any style whatsoever
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this

He talks about skating vert some in his book. It's a solid read.
There was no wire. Clark's planet needed him.

His dad supposedly was the guy who was gonna drop a nuke on Korea.

Pretty sure his dad was a dentist.

Yeah that is correct. He mentions this in the Bones Brigade documentary.

Wikipedia, the leading source of internet knowledge, confirms it as well.

I'm pretty sure his dad was just really strict and hated skating. He wanted Rodney to stop skating and pursue a "real" career.

Rodney’s dad was an extremely uptight guy, he was going to be responsible for nuking Korea, like he was the first in line to do that. You can imagine the intensity of a man with that type of responsibility, it’s like a shaved head cop on steroids. He was also a mobster by all accounts, and there were numerous legal matters he was involved in. To my knowledge he had at least 5 murders dropped against him. Florida is a corrupt ass state and if I was a mobster that and Louisiana would be my spot to setup shop if I was in that business. He also had a lot of other stuff that’s under the rug, but it’s genuinely agreed upon that Rodney’s dad was a mob boss. When Rodney was 18 and his dad told him to quit and he wouldn’t, he directed one of his hitmen to go break Rodney’s legs. There’s a lot more to it and I’m just scratching the surface, but yeah that’s the gist of it.

Edit: as u can see above on the wiki crop, he was a “dentist” who was multimillionaire? What fucking dentist makes that type of money owning one dental practice?
