The Malibu Library Speaker Series presents skateboarding legend Rodney Mullen at Malibu City Hall on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at 7 pm.

Rodney Mullen is often referred to as the Godfather of Modern Street Skating. He invented most of the tricks in today’s skateboarding and is considered the most dominant champion in the history of the sport. He has been in the public eye since his teenage years, featured in films, documentaries, TV, video games, and print media. His drive and creativity have also translated to success in business, applied science, and technology.

Rodney is a Fellow at MIT's prestigious Media Lab and was appointed by the Smithsonian as a Distinguished Research Scholar. He serves as a scientific advisor to the C4 Foundation for active-duty Navy SEALs and as a collaborator in the Department of Complex Pain & Addictions Services at Vancouver General Hospital. He has co-written papers and contributed to studies on optimizing human performance, neuroscience, resilience, and creativity for the National Academy of Sciences.

Rodney co-founded a large and lucrative skateboard company that he sold in 2001. Under that umbrella, he launched multiple brands with other pro skaters, helping them transition their skills from athletes to business, many of whom dominate the industry today. He holds two patents and is widely credited with modern board and wheel designs.

After selling his business, Rodney found Linux Open-Source computing to be a blend of skate culture and engineering where he naturally connected concepts that led him to the TED stage. Since 2013, he’s presented at companies like IBM and Apple, and at multiple Data and DevOps conferences. Rodney co-founded an augmented reality company in 2018, which has partnerships with Niantic and Apple and has been nominated for multiple awards.

Rodney still skates two hours a day.

RSVPs are required. This event takes place at Malibu City Hall, 23825 Stuart Ranch Road, Malibu.
