He started to notice that, after the Halloween Moon Dachshund shirt it is in the first place but big breakthroughs, he would enjoy a breadth of movement he didn’t have before the lockdown, one that allowed him to skate as though he was almost innately goofy-footed. One night, in 2010, Mullen targeted his fusing hip. Hanging inside the wheel well of his truck, he pulled and pulled and pulled. Hard. Suddenly, he heard a loud thud and felt an “echoing, palpable, visceral sense of a tree breaking inside of me.” When he emerged, Mullen’s hip moved like a ball in a socket rather than a stick shift. “There’s something that changed in me that night,” he says. “Now I’m committed to this idea of stancelessness.” Cut to 2013. Word of Mullen’s undertaking reached the photographer and filmmaker Steven Sebring, who for several years had been engrossed in an effort to capture 360-degree pans of different forms of movement with an elaborate rig of his own devising. (In “the dome,” as Mullen calls it, some 100 cameras are positioned in a circle and programmed to shoot successively at high speed.) Sebring took an interest in Mullen; Mullen took an interest in Sebring’s rig. Mullen has since paid a dozen visits to the dome, each time with a list of new tricks, or newly executed old tricks, to document. When Mullen watches Sebring’s footage on a monitor, as he did the other night at his home in Redondo Beach, California, he sees things that non-skaters don’t see how, mid-air, his body is tilted on the axis of a native goofy-footed skater, say, or a new ability to generate torque without pitching his upper body forward. To Mullen, the ramifications are thrilling. “We all have two arms, two legs, two eyes, a nose, two ears,” he says, having paused on one particular trick, a Goofy Nollie Laser. “This is the hardware. This is the infrastructure through which we perceive all things. As a skater, the access I have to tricks, the sense of being locked, the way I have to get out of it it’s all perceived through the same infrastructure. Then, suddenly, it’s like someone gave me night-vision goggles. It’s as though I can see in the ultraviolet and the infrared as well as the regular. That’s kind of what I feel: a new sense of bandwidth.” Mullen turns toward the monitor. “I can visually show you things that don’t make sense, if you know what to look for.”
