The sad thing is that for most people "street" means those stupid stair sets, rather than standard real street terrain. Sure, those sets do appear in street skating, but to only consider something street if it involves a stair set (which is uncharacteristic of actual street skating) is ignorant.

And, actually, from what I've seen of Mullen on stairs, he's quite skillful at them. No, he doesn't ollie 50 stairs, but I'd say an impressive flip down a medium size set is more impressive than a simple ollie on a huge gap.

True, but there have been a lot of people in my opinion who have been more creative with their surroundings than Mullen. He is insanely good at tech, don't get me wrong.
