Rodney Mullen is an interesting guy. I highly recommend his autobiography if you haven't read it. When he was entering freestyle competitions early on it was never a question of who would win but rather who would come in second behind Rodney. Nobody could compete with him because he was inventing new tricks (many of which are still staples of street skating) at such a rapid pace. His commitment was otherworldly. When he was in his teens he would get home from school and skateboard until it was time to go to bed. Every day.
