Best Professional Skaters

In my opinion the two best skateboarders in the entire history of skate boarding would include Rodney Mullen and Daewon Song.  Rodeny Mullen is considered the father of modern day skateboarding.  Rodney Mullen invented nearly of the new age tricks including the kick flip.  When Rodney Mullen invented this trick it was originally named the magic flip.  I chose Rodney Mullen as the best professional skater since he has the most unique style out of any skater.  Rodney Mullen is able to impress the skating community through his originality and he does not have to fling himself down a set of stairs.  Rodney Mullen has the most technical tricks out of any of the skaters out today.
Daewon Song like Rodney Mullen is a very technical skater but also very different because of the places he does his technical tricks.  In many videos Daewon Song is doing his tricks across enormous gaps including jumping from roof to roof.  Daewon does a lot of the same types of tricks but is willing to take them across greater obstacles.  Daewon Song is also more versatile than Rodney Mullen since Daewon can skate ramps.  Daewon is an amazing mini ramp skater, with tricks such as the nose blunt double flip back in.  Although Rodney does not skate ramps, his original flat ground tricks makes him a force to be reckoned with.  Rodney Mullen is the only skater which performs the casper slide, while doing a 180 to another Casper slide.  This is why Daewon Song and Rodney Mullen are the best professional skate boarders, in the history of skate boarding.
