Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song
Encyclopedia
Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song is a commercially successful skateboarding
video
series, featuring noted skateboarders Rodney Mullen
and Daewon Song
. Three videos were released under this title: Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3
"competing" against Daewon Song
(the two are friends and did not consider this a chance to one up the other). It also has combined parts of the World Industries, A-Team and Blind teams as they were in 1997 when the video was released. Daewon Song and Rodney Mullen appear both in their own parts and with small sections of their respective teams' parts.
The second video, Round 2, is slightly different in format. As before, Rodney Mullen and Daewon Song have their own parts, and there are combined parts for the World Industries
(which had then split into World Industries and Deca), A-Team and Blind sections. However, there are also short advertisement-like sections throughout the video for the other brands on Dwindle distribution, making the video different from most team videos and more like an issue of a video magazine
.
The title of Almost: Round Three
refers to these videos, yet it is effectively an Almost
video and is considerably different from its predecessors. Almost Round Three not only includes Daewon and Mullen but features others from the Almost Team including Chris Haslam
, Cooper Wilt, Greg Lutzka
, former teammate Ryan Sheckler
, and "William Patrick" who was really Tyrone Olson in a costume.
