Summary
At age six, Rodney Mullen was the family misfit who had to wear braces to straighten out his pigeon-toed feet. But by age fourteen, he was a world-champion skateboarder—and for the next decade lost only one contest. He cemented his legend by inventing the ollie, the trick that revolutionized the sport by taking it off the ground and into the air. Today he is a 36 year old multi-millionaire with his own skateboard company and starring roles in the most popular skateboarding video games and videos. The Mutt chronicles every step of his ascent to fame and fortune; the sometimes sad, often hilarious, and ultimately triumphant story of the making of “the godfather of skateboarding”.
