(Applause)

(Aplauz)

So, that's what I've done with my life.

Eto, to sam napravio od svog života. (Smeh)

(Laughter)

(Aplauz)

Thank you.

(Applause)

Hvala. (Aplauz)

As a kid, I grew up on a farm in Florida,

Kao dete, odrastao sam na farmi na Floridi

and I did what most little kids do.

i radio isto što i većina dece.

I played a little baseball, did a few other things like that,

Igrao sam bejzbol i radio druge stvari poput toga.

but I always had the sense of being an outsider,

Ali sam uvek imao osećaj da sam autsajder.

and it wasn't until I saw pictures in the magazines

Tek kada sam u časopisu video slike

that a couple other guys skate, I thought,

nekih tipova kako voze skejt, pomislio sam:

"Wow, that's for me," you know?

"Ovo je za mene", znate?

Because there was no coach standing directly over you,

Zato što nije bilo trenera koji ti stoji nad glavom,

and these guys, they were just being themselves.

a ovi tipovi su jednostavno bili ono što jesu.

There was no opponent directly across from you.

Nije bilo protivnika sa druge strane.

And I loved that sense, so I started skating

Voleo sam taj osećaj, pa sam počeo da vozim skejt

when I was about 10 years old, in 1977,

1977., kada sam imao oko 10 godina.

and when I did, I picked it up pretty quickly.

Kad sam počeo, brzo sam naučio da vozim.

In fact, here's some footage from about 1984.

Evo nekih snimaka iz 1984.

It wasn't until 79 I won my first amateur championship,

Tek 1979. sam osvojio prvo amatersko prvenstvo.

and then, by 81, I was 14, and I won my first world championship,

Onda sam 1981, sa 14 godina, osvojio

prvo svetsko prvenstvo.

which was amazing to me,

Za mene je to bilo neverovatno.

and in a very real sense, that was the first real victory I had.

Na jedan način, to je bila moja prva prava pobeda.

Oh, watch this.

Gledajte ovo.

This is a Casper slide, where the board's upside down.

Ovo je kasper slajd, gde je daska okrenuta naopačke.

Mentalna beleška za taj trik. (Smeh).

Mental note on that one.

(Laughter)

And this one here?

A ovaj trik? Oli.

An ollie.

So, as she mentioned, that is overstated for sure,

Kao što je ona napomenula, a definitivno je prenaglašeno,

but that's why they called me the godfather of modern street skating.

zbog toga su me proglasili kumom

moderne ulične skejt vožnje.

Here's some images of that.

Evo nekih slika toga.

Now, I was about halfway through my pro career

Našao sam se na pola svoje profesionalne karijere,

in, I would say, the mid-'80s.

rekao bih sredinom '80-ih.

Freestyle itself -- we developed all these flat ground tricks, as you saw,

U samom fristajlu smo razvili razne trikove na ravnom terenu

kao što ste videli, ali se razvijala

but there was evolving a new kind of skateboarding,

nova vrsta skejt vožnje, gde su tipovi izlazili

where guys were taking it to the streets, and they were using that ollie,

na ulicu i koristili taj trik, oli, kao što sam vam pokazao.

like I showed you.

They were using it to get up onto stuff like bleachers and handrails

Njime su se penjali na razne stvari,

na tribine, gelendere, iznad stepeništa

and over stairwells and all kinds of cool stuff.

i razne super stvari.

So it was evolving upwards.

Znači, evolucija je bila usmerena naviše.

In fact, when someone tells you they're a skater today,

U stvari, ako vam neko danas kaže da je skejter,

they pretty much mean a street skater,

to skoro uvek znači da je ulični skejter.

because freestyle, it took about five years for it to die,

Fristalju je trebalo oko 5 godina da izumre,

and at that stage, I'd been a "champion" champion for 11 years, which --

a u tom periodu, ja sam bio "šampionski" šampion

već 11 godina. Uf!

Phew!

And suddenly, it was over for me, that's it -- it was gone.

Odjednom, to je bio kraj za mene. To je to.

Sve se završilo. Skinuli su moj pro model sa rafa,

They took my pro model off the shelf,

which was essentially pronouncing you dead, publicly.

što je suštinski javna izjava o vašoj smrti.

That's how you make your money, you know?

Tako zarađujete novac, znate?

You have a signature board and wheels and shoes and clothes.

Imate dasku sa potpisom, točkove, cipele i odeću.

I had all that stuff, and it's gone.

Sve to sam imao i sve je nestalo.

The crazy thing was, there was a really liberating sense about it,

Ludo je to što sam imao oslobađajući osećaj,

because I no longer had to protect my record as a champion.

jer nisam više morao da branim

svoje šampionske rekorde.

"Champion," again.

Opet "šampion".

Champion sounds so goofy, but it's what it was, right?

"Šampion" zvuči blesavo, ali to sam bio, zar ne?

What drew me to skateboarding, the freedom,

Ono što me je privuklo kod skejta, ona sloboda

was now restored, where I could just create things,

mi je konačno bila vraćena, kada sam mogao da stvaram.

because that's where the joy was for me, always,

Za mene je radost uvek bila u tome,

was creating new stuff.

u stvaranju.

The other thing that I had was a deep well of tricks to draw from

Druga stvar koju sam imao je veliki izvor trikova

that were rooted in these flat ground tricks.

koji su bili ukorenjeni u ovim trikovima na ravnom terenu.

Stuff the normal guys were doing was very much different.

Ono što su normalni tipovi radili bilo je veoma različito.

So, as humbling and rotten as it was —

Koliko god da je bilo ponižavajuće i grozno,

And believe me, it was rotten.

a verujte mi, bilo je grozno.

I would go to skate spots, and I was already "famous guy," right?

Odlazio bih na mesta za vožnju

i bio bih već onaj "poznati lik", zar ne?

And everyone thought I was good,

Svi su mislili da sam dobar.

but in this new terrain, I was horrible.

Ali na ovom novom terenu sam bio užasan.

So people would go, "Oh, what happened to Mullen?"

Ljudi bi reagovali: "U, bre,

šta se desilo sa Malenom?" (Smeh)

(Laughter)

So, humbling as it was, I began again.

Iako je bilo ponižavajuće, počeo sam iznova.

Here are some tricks that I started to bring to that new terrain.

Evo nekih trikova koje sam počeo da primenjujem

na tom novom terenu. (Zvuci skejtborda).

And again, there's this undergirding layer of influence of freestyle --

Postoji dubok uticaj fristajla

koji me je terao da - ovaj trik?

Oh, that one?

That's, like, the hardest thing I've ever done.

To je najteža stvar koju sam ikad uradio.

OK, look at that, it's a Darkslide.

Gledajte. To je darkslajd.

See how it's sliding on the backside?

Vidite kako klizi po drugoj strani daske?

Those are super fun, and, actually, not that hard.

Taj trik je zabavan. (Smeh). U stvari, nije tako težak.

You know, at the very root of that, see, Caspers,

Koren tog trika je kaspers,

see how you throw it?

vidite kako ga bacite? (Zvuci skejtborda)

Simple as that, right? No biggie.

Jednostavno, zar ne? Ništa strašno. (Smeh)

And your front foot, the way it grabs it --

A prednje stopalo, način na koji hvata je -

I'd seen someone slide on the back of the board like that,

video sam nekog kako klizi tako, na zadnjoj strani daske,

and I was like, "How can I get it over?"

i pitao sam se: "Kako da prevrnem dasku?"

Because that had not yet been done.

Pošto to još niko nije uradio.

I onda mi je sinulo

And then it dawned on me, and here's part of what I'm saying.

i ono što hoću da kažem je da

sam ja imao infrastrukturu.

I had an infrastructure. I had this deep layer,

Imao sam duboku naslagu,

where it was like, oh my gosh, it's just your foot.

koja mi je omogućila da shvatim: to je samo moje stopalo.

It's just the way you throw your board over.

To je samo način na koji se daska prevrne.

Just let the ledge do that, and it's easy,

Samo pustiš da ivica obavi svoje i onda je lako.

and the next thing you know, there's 20 more tricks

I onda imate još 20 trikova

based out of the variations.

zasnovanih na varijacijama.

To je vrsta stvari koja, evo, pogledajte,

So that's the kind of thing -- here, check this out,

još jedan način i neću preterati sa ovim.

here's another way, and I won't overdo this.

A little indulgent, I understand.

Svestan sam da sam malo popustljiv.

There's something called a Primo slide.

Evo nečeg što se zove primo slajd.

(Zvuci skejtborda)

It is the funnest trick ever to do.

Ovo je najzabavniji trik.

(Zvuci skejtborda)

It's like skimboarding.

Slično skimbordu.

And this one, look how it slides sideways, every which way?

A ovde, vidite kako klizi bočno i na sve strane?

OK, so when you're skating, and you take a fall,

Kada vozite i padnete,

the board slips that way or that way; it's kind of predictable.

daska će skliznuti na ovu ili onu stranu. Nekako je predvidivo.

This? It goes every which way -- it's like a cartoon, the falls,

Ali ovde klizi na sve strane. Padovi podsećaju na crtani film.

and that's what I love the most about it.

To je ono što mi se najviše sviđa.

It's so much fun to do.

Koliko je zabavno! U stvari, sećam se kada sam počeo sa ovim trikovima,

In fact, when I started doing them, I remember, because I got hurt.

zato što sam se povredio.

I had to get a knee surgery, right?

Morali su da mi operišu koleno.

So there were a couple of weeks where I couldn't skate at all.

Bilo je par dana, u stvari par nedelja

kada nisam mogao uopšte da vozim skejt -

It would give out on me, and I would watch the guys,

koleno bi mi popustilo.

Gledao bih tipove,

I'd go to this warehouse where a lot of the guys were skating,

otišao bih u skladište gde je gomila prijatelja vozila skejt.

my friends, and I was like,

Pomislio sam:

"I've got to do something new, I want to do something new.

"Čoveče, moram da uradim nešto novo.

Hoću da počnem iznova."

I want to start fresh."

And so the night before my surgery, I'd watched, and I was like,

Veče pre operacije, sedeo sam i gledao

i pomislio: "Kako ću ovo da izvedem?"

"How am I going to do this?"

So I ran up, and I jumped on my board,

Potrčao sam i skočio na skejt,

and I Cavemanned, and I flipped it down,

u stilu kejvmen i prevrnuo skejt nadole.

and I remember thinking, I landed so light-footed, thinking,

Dočekao sam se spretno i pomislio,

if my knee gives, they'll just have more work to do in the morning.

ako mi koleno popusti, znači da će biti više posla za doktore sledećeg jutra.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And so, when it was the crazy thing.

Ono što je bilo šašavo,

I don't know how many of you guys have had surgery, but --

ne znam koliko vas je ikada imalo operaciju,

(Laughter)

ali - (Smeh) - veoma ste bespomoćni, zar ne?

you are so helpless, right?

You're on this gurney and you're watching the ceiling go by,

Ležite na kolicima i gledate kako plafon prolazi,

uvek je tako i u trenutku kada vam stavljaju

every time, it's always that,

and right when they're putting the mask on you before you go to sleep,

masku na lice pre no što vas uspavaju,

razmišljate: "Čoveče, kad se probudim i kad mi bude bilo bolje,

all I was thinking is, "Man, when I wake up and I get better,

the first thing I'm going to do is film that trick."

prva stvar koju ću da uradim je da snimim taj trik." (Smeh)

And indeed I did, it was the very first thing I filmed, which was awesome.

To sam i uradio. To je bila prva stvar koju sam snimio.

Bilo je strava.

I told you a little bit about the evolution of the tricks.

Pričao sam vam malo o razvoju trikova.

Consider that content, in a sense.

Uzmimo u obzir da je to neka vrsta sadržaja.

What we do as street skaters is, you have these tricks --

Ono što mi ulični skejteri radimo je, imate ove trikove.

Say I'm working on Darkslides, or a Primo,

Recimo da radim na dark slajdu, ili na primo triku.

that you guys know this stuff now.

Ali vi to već znate. (Smeh)

(Laughter)

What you do is, you cruise around the same streets

Krstarite istim ulicama koje ste videli stotinama puta.

that you've seen a hundred times,

Odjednom, zato što već imate

but suddenly, because you already have something

in this fixed domain of this target, it's like, what will match this trick?

nešto u ovoj ustaljenoj oblasti koja pripada ovom cilju,

pitate se šta bi moglo da odgovara ovom triku?

How can I expand, how can the context,

Kako mogu da proširim, kako kontekst i okruženje

how can the environment change the very nature of what I do?

mogu da promene samu prirodu onog čime se bavim?

So you drive and drive and drive, and, actually I've got to admit,

I tako se vozimo i vozimo.

Moram da vam priznam,

just because I was struggling with this because I'm here,

mučio sam se sa ovim zato što sam ovde, ali ću vam reći.

but I'll just say it, is, I cannot tell you,

Ne mogu da vam opišem koja je privilegija

not only to be here in front of you,

but what a privilege it is to be at US campus,

što sam tu pred vama i na samom fakultetu USC,

because I have been escorted off of this campus so many times.

zato što su me nebrojeno puta izbacili sa svog prostora. (Smeh).

(Laughter)

(Aplauz)

(Applause)

So let me give you another example of how context shapes content.

Daću vam još jedan primer

u kojem kontekst oblikuje sadržaj.

This is a place not that far from here, It's a rotten neighborhood.

Ovo mesto se nalazi nedaleko odavde.

Kraj je loš.

Your first consideration is, am I going to get beat up?

Prva stvar koja vam pada napamet je

da li će vas neko prebiti.

You go out and -- See this wall?

Izađete iz kola - vidite li ovaj zid?

It's fairly mellow, and it's beckoning to do bank tricks, right?

Dosta je blag i poziva vas da radite trikove sa naginjanjem, zar ne?

But there's this other aspect of it for wheelies,

Ipak, na njemu postoji drugi aspekt za vožnju na dva točka.

so check this out.

There's a few tricks, again,

Opet, postoji nekoliko trikova

how environment changes the nature of your tricks.

u kojima okruženje menja prirodu trikova.

Freestyle oriented, manual down -- wheelie down.

Fristajl orijentisan, manual daun - vili daun.

Watch, this one? Oh, I love this, it's like surfing, this one,

Gledajte ovo. Obožavam ovo.

Ovaj trik je kao surfing, način na koji ga hvatate.

the way you catch it.

This one, a little sketchy going backwards,

Ovaj trik - malo je čupavo ići unazad.

and watch the back foot.

Gledajte stopalo u pozadini.

Oops --

Opa. (Smeh). Opet mentalna beleška. Vratićemo se tome.

(Laughter)

Mental note right there.

Again, we'll get back to that.

(Laughter)

Here, back foot, back foot.

Ovde. Stopalo u pozadini. U redu?

OK, up there?

That was called a 360 flip.

To se zove okret za 360 stepeni.

Notice how the board flipped and spun this way, both axes.

Obratite pažnju kako se daska prevrne

i zavrti ovako, po obema osama.

And another example of how the context changed,

Još jedan primer promene zbog konteksta,

a kreativni proces za mene i većinu skejtera je sličan.

and the creative process for me and for most skaters,

is, you go, you get out of the car, you check for security,

Izađete iz kola, proverite da li ima obezbeđenja,

you check for stuff.

proverite te stvari. (Smeh.)

(Laughter)

It's funny, you get to know their rhythms, you know,

Blesavo je zato što naučite njihov ritam.

Ritam tipova koji patroliraju.

the guys that cruise around --

(Laughter)

Skateboarding is such a humbling thing, man.

Vožnja skejta je ponizna stvar, čoveče.

No matter how good you are, you've still got to deal with --

Nema veze koliko ste uspešni, uvek ćete morati da se bavite time.

So you hit this wall, and when I hit it,

Naletite na zid. Kada naletite, prva stvar koju uradite

the first thing you do is you fall forward,

je da padnete unapred.

and I'm like, all right, all right.

Dobro, dobro.

Dok se prilagođavate,

As you adjust ...

you punch it up, and then when I would do that,

probate malo jače.

Kada bih to uradio,

it was throwing my shoulder this way ...

rame bi mi vuklo na ovu stranu.

which as I was doing it, I was like, "Oh wow, that's begging for a 360 flip,"

Dok sam to radio, pomislio sam: "Ovo je stvoreno za okret od 360 stepeni".

because that's how you load up for a 360 flip.

Zato što se tako pripremate za taj okret.

And so this is what I want to emphasize that, as you can imagine,

To je ono što želim da naglasim.

Kao što možete da zamislite, svi ovi trikovi se sastoje

all of these tricks are made of submovements,

od manjih pokreta, izvržnih motornih funkcija.

executive motor functions,

more granular to the degree to which I can't quite tell you,

Više je granulirano,

do stepena koji ne mogu da vam objasnim.

but one thing I do know is,

Ono što vam mogu reći

every trick is made of combining two or three or four or five movements.

je da se svaki trik sastoji od dva, tri, četiri ili pet pokreta.

And so, as I'm going up, these things are floating around,

Dok idem na gore,

ove stvari lebde naokolo.

and you have to sort of let the cognitive mind rest back,

Morate da na neki način

odmorite kognitivni mozak, da ga malo povučete

pull it back a little bit,

and let your intuition go as you feel these things.

i prepustite se intuiciji dok osećate ove stvari.

And these submovements are kind of floating around,

A ovi manji pokreti nekako lebde,

and as the wall hits you, they connect themselves to an extent,

i kad stignete do zida, oni se donekle spoje.

and that's when the cognitive mind: "Oh, 360 flip, I'm going to make that."

Tada kognitivni mozak kaže:

"Okret od 360 stepeni, to ću da uradim."

So that's how that works to me, the creative process,

Tako radi moj kreativni proces,

the process itself, of street skating.

sam proces uličnog skejta.

Sledeće... Pazite (Smeh). Ovi čine zajednicu.

So, next -- Oh, mind you ...

(Laughter)

Those are the community.

Ovo su neki od najboljih skejtera na svetu.

These are some of the best skaters in the world.

These are my friends -- oh my gosh, they're such good people.

Ovo su moji prijatelji. Stvarno su dobri ljudi.

And the beauty of skateboarding is that,

Lepota u voženju skejta je to da

no one guy is the best.

nijedan jedini tip nije najbolji.

In fact, I know this is rotten to say, they're my friends,

Zapravo, znam da je pokvareno ovo reći,

ipak su to moji prijatelji, ali neki od njih ustvari

but a couple of them actually don't look that comfortable on their board.

i ne izgledaju baš kao da im je prijatno na dasci.

What makes them great is the degree to which they use their skateboarding

Ono što ih čini velikim je stepen do kojeg

koriste vožnju skejta kako bi se izdvojili.

to individuate themselves.

Svaki od ovih tipova, možete da ih pogledate,

Every single one of these guys, you look at them,

you can see a silhouette of them, and you realize,

da vidite njihovu siluetu i shvatite:

"Oh, that's him, that's Haslam, that's Koston,

"To je on, to je Heslam, to je Koston".

there's these guys, these are the guys."

Ovo su ti tipovi.

And skaters, I think they tend to be outsiders

Mislim da su skejteri često autsajderi

who seek a sense of belonging,

koji traže osećaj da pripadaju nečemu.

but belonging on their own terms.

Ali da pripadaju pod svojim uslovima.

And real respect is given by how much we take what other guys do,

Pravo poštovanje se ogleda u tome koliko uzimamo ono

što drugi urade, ove jednostavne trikove, okret za 360 stepeni.

these basic tricks, 360 flips, we take that, we make it our own,

Uzmemo to i učinimo da postane naše, a onda doprinesemo

and then we contribute back to the community

zajednici na unutrašnji način koji

the inner way that edifies the community itself.

će podučiti samu zajednicu.

The greater the contribution,

Što je doprinos veći, to više izražavamo i oblikujemo

the more we express and form our individuality,

svoju individualnost.

which is so important to a lot of us who feel like rejects to begin with.

To je veoma važno za mnoge od nas

koji se već u startu osećamo kao da smo škartirani.

The summation of that

Suma svega toga nam daje nešto

gives us something we could never achieve as an individual.

što ne bismo nikad mogli da postignemo kao pojedinci.

I should say this.

Moram nešto da kažem.

There's some sort of beautiful symmetry

Postoji neka vrsta prelepe simetrije

that the degree to which we connect to a community

gde je mera u kojoj se povezujemo sa zajednicom

is in proportion to our individuality,

proporcionalna našoj individualnosti,

which we are expressing by what we do.

koju izražavamo onim čime se bavimo.

Next,

Dalje. Ovi tipovi. Veoma slična zajednica

these guys, very similar community that's extremely conducive to innovation.

koja izuzetno podstiče inovativnost.

(Laughter)

Notice a couple of these shots from the police department.

Obratite pažnju na neke od ovih fotografija iz policijske stanice.

But it is quite similar, I mean, what is it to hack, right?

Ali ovo je dosta slično. Šta je to hakovanje?

It's knowing a technology so well that you can manipulate it

To znači poznavati tehnologiju toliko dobro

da možete njome da manipulišete

and steer it to do things it was never intended to do, right?

i da upravljate njome tako da čini stvari za koje nikad nije bila namenjena.

And they're not all bad.

I nije sve to loše.

You can be a Linux kernel hacker, make it more stable, right?

Možete biti haker za Linuks kernel i da ga napravite stabilnijim.

More safe, more secure.

Bezbednijim i sigurnijim.

You can be an iOS hacker,

Možete biti haker iOS-a,

make your iPhone do stuff it wasn't supposed to.

i naterati ajfon da radi stvari koje ne treba da radi.

Not authorized, but not illegal.

Nije dozvoljeno, ali nije ni protivzakonito.

And then, you've got some of these guys, right?

A onda imate neke od ovih tipova.

What they do is very similar to our creative process.

Ono što oni rade je veoma slično našem kreativnom procesu.

They connect disparate information,

Oni spajaju različite informacije

and they bring it together in a way that a security analyst doesn't expect.

i združuju ih na način

na koji bezbednosni analitičar ne očekuje.

It doesn't make them good people,

To ih ne čini dobrim ljudima,

but it's at the heart of engineering,

ali to je ono što se nalazi u srži inženjeringa.

at the heart of a creative community, an innovative community,

U srži kreativne zajednice, inovativne zajednice

and the open source community, the basic ethos of it

i slobodne zajednice.

Tu je osnovni etos:

is, take what other people do, make it better,

uzmi ono što su drugi uradili, poboljšaj

give it back so we all rise further.

i onda vrati kako bismo se svi uzdigli.

Very similar communities, very similar.

Veoma slične zajednice, veoma slične.

We have our edgier sides, too.

Imamo i svoje divlje strane. Smešno je, otac mi je bio u pravu.

(Laughter)

It's funny, my dad was right.

These are my peers.

Ovo su moji vršnjaci.

But I respect what they do, and they respect what I do,

Ali poštujem ono čime se bave, i oni poštuju ono što ja radim.

because they can do things, it's amazing what they can do.

Oni mogu da rade stvari - neverovatno je šta mogu.

In fact, one of them,

Zapravo, jednog od njih je "Ernst i Jang" imenovao

he was Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year for San Diego County,

za najboljeg preduzetnika u okrugu San Dijega.

so they're not -- you never know who you're dealing with.

Nikad ne znate sa kim imate posla.

We've all had some degree of fame.

Svi smo bili slavni do nekog nivoa.

In fact, I've had so much success that I strangely always feel unworthy of.

Zapravno, ja sam doživeo toliko uspeha

da se iz nekog čudnog razloga ne osećam dostojan toga.

I've had a patent, and that was cool, and we started a company,

Imao sam patent i to je bilo super,

onda smo osnovali kompaniju, onda je rasla i postala najveća,

and it grew, and it became the biggest,

and then it went down, and then it became the biggest again,

onda je splasnula, onda je ponovo postala najveća,

which is harder than the first time, and then we sold it,

što je teže nego prvi put, onda smo je prodali

i onda smo je ponovo prodali.

and then we sold it again.

So I've had some success.

Doživeo sam neke uspehe.

And in the end, when you've had all of these things,

Na kraju, kada ste postigli sve ove stvari,

what is it that continues to drive you?

šta je to što vam daje energiju?

As I mentioned, the knee stuff and these things,

Pomenuo sam povredu kolena i ove stvari,

what is it that will punch you?

šta je ono što će vam dati polet?

Because it's not just the mind.

Nije to samo u glavi.

Šta je ono što će vam dati motivaciju i naterati vas

What is it that will punch you and make you do something

and bring it to another level, and when you've had it all,

da dovedete stvar na sledeći nivo?

Kad ste sve postigli,

sometimes, guys, they die on the vine with all of that talent,

ponekad likovi umiru na lovorikama sa svim tim talentom.

and one of the things we've had, all of us, is fame --

Jedna od stvari koju smo svi mi imali je slava.

I think the best kind of fame, because you can take it off.

I to najbolja vrsta slave zato što možete da je "skinete".

I've been all around the world,

Bio sam svuda po svetu

and there will be a thousand kids crying out your name,

sa hiljade klinaca koji viču moje ime.

and it's such a weird, visceral experience.

To je veoma čudno, visceralno iskustvo.

It's like, it's disorienting.

Dezorijentišuće je.

And you get in a car, and you drive away,

Onda sednete u kola i odvezete se.

and 10-minute drive, and you get out,

10 minuta kasnije izađete iz kola

and no one gives a rat's who you are.

i ljude je baš briga ko ste vi. (Smeh).

(Laughter)

And it gives you that clarity of perspective of, man, I'm just me,

To vam daje jasnu perspektivu.

and popularity, what does that really mean again?

Ja sam samo ja, a slava?

Šta to uopšte znači? Ne znači mnogo.

Not much.

It's peer respect that drives us.

Poštovanje vršnjaka je ono što mi daje motivaciju.

That's the one thing that makes us do what we do.

To je ono što nas tera da se bavimo nečim.

I've had over a dozen bones, this guy, over, eight, 10 concussions,

Ovi tipovi, ovaj lik je imao više od 10 potresa mozga.

to the point where it's comedy, right?

Toliko da je postala komedija.

It is actually comedy, they mess with him.

To je zapravo komedija. Drugari ga zezaju.

(Laughter)

Next,

Dalje.

and this is something deeper.

Ovo je nešto dublje.

I think I was on tour when I was reading one of the Feynman biographies.

Mislim da sam bio na turneji kada sam čitao

jednu od Fajnmanovih biografija.

It was the red one or the blue one.

Bila je to crvena ili plava.

And he made this statement that was so profound to me.

Rekao je nešto što me je duboko pogodilo.

It was that the Nobel Prize was the tombstone on all great work,

Rekao je da je Nobelova nagrada

nadgrobni spomenik svakog velikog rada.

and it resonated because I had won 35 out of 36 contests

Odjekivalo mi je zbog toga što sam osvojio 35 od 36 takmičenja

that I'd entered over 11 years, and it made me bananas.

u kojima sam učestvovao tokom 11 godina. To me je izludelo.

In fact, winning isn't the word, I won it once.

Zapravo, osvojiti nije ni prava reč. Osvojio sam jednom.

The rest of the time, you're just defending,

Ostatak vremena provodite braneći titulu.

and you get into this, turtle posture, you know?

I to vas stavlja u stav kornjače.

Where you're not doing -- it usurped the joy of what I loved to do

Stav u kojem ne radite ništa.

Uzurpiralo mi je svu radost bavljenja onim što sam voleo

because I was no longer doing it to create and have fun,

zao što to više nisam radio zbog stvaranja i zabave.

and when it died out from under me,

Kada je to sve izumrlo, to je bio jedan

that was one of the most liberating things,

od oslobađajućih momenata zato što sam onda mogao da stvaram.

because I could create.

And look, I understand that I am on the very edge of preachy, here.

Shvatam da skoro počinjem da propovedam.

I'm not here to do that.

Nisam tu zbog toga.

It's just that I'm in front of a very privileged audience.

Nalazim se pred veoma privilegovanom publikom.

If you guys aren't already leaders in your community,

Ukoliko vi niste već lideri u svojim zajednicama,

you probably will be, and if there's anything I can give you

verovatno ćete to postati.

Ako postoji nešto što vam mogu preneti,

that will transcend what I've gotten from skateboarding,

nešto što će nadmašiti ono što sam stekao kroz vožnju skejta,

the only things of meaning, I think, and of permanence,

nešto što smatram da je značajno i trajno,

it's not fame, it's not all these things.

to nije slava, niti je ijedna od ovih stvari.

What it is, is that there's an intrinsic value in creating something

To je da postoji urođena vrednost u stvaranju nečeg

for the sake of creating it,

zbog samog stvaranja.

and better than that, because I'm 46 years old, or I'll be 46,

Čak je i bolje od toga.

Ja imam 46 godina ili ću imati 46 godina.

and how pathetic is that I'm still skateboarding, but there is --

Koliko je patetično što još uvek vozim skejt.

(Smeh).

there is this beauty in dropping it into a community of your own making,

Postoji lepota u davanju toga zajednici

koju ste sami stvorili i posmatranju kako se širi.

and seeing it dispersed, and seeing younger, more talented,

Videti mlađe i talentovanije.

just different talent, take it to levels you can never imagine,

Talentovane na drugi način

koji dovode stvar na nivoe koje ne možete da zamislite.

because that lives on.

So thank you for your time.

Zbog toga stvar nastavlja da živi. Hvala vam na vašem vremenu.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Kristina Holly: I have a question for you.

(Applause)

So you've really reinvented yourself in the past, from freestyle to street,

Kristina Holi: Stvarno ste se ponovo izumeli,

od fristajla do ulične vožnje.

and, I think it was about four years ago you officially retired.

Mislim da ste se pre 4 godine zvanično penzionisali.

Is that it? What's next?

Je l' to sve? Šta sledi?

Rodney Mullen: That's a good question. KG: Something tells me it's not the end.

Rodni Malen: Dobro pitanje.

KH: Nešto mi govori da to nije kraj.

RM: Yeah. Every time you think you've chased something down,

RM: Da. Svaki put kad mi se čini da sam nešto postigao -

it's funny, no matter how good you are, and I know guys like this,

Koliko god mislite da ste dobri,

a poznajem ovakve tipove, osećate se kao da glancate izmet.

it feels like you're polishing a turd, you know?

Znate? (Smeh)

(Laughter)

And I thought, the only way I can extend this

Pomislio sam - jedini način da proširim ovo

is to change something infrastructural.

je da promenim nešto u infrastrukturi.

And so that's what I proceeded to do, through a long story,

I to sam počeo da radim.

Kroz dugu priču, priču očajanja.

one of desperation, so if I do it, rather than talk about it,

Ako uradim to, umesto što pričam o tome, vi ćete prvi znati.

if I do it, you'll be the first to know.

KH: U redu, nećemo vas više zapitkivati.

KG: All right, we won't ask you any more. RM: You'll get a text.

RM: Poslaću vam poruku.

KG: Right, thank you, good job. RM: Thank you. Thank you.

KH: Dobro. Hvala vam. Bravo.

(Aplauz). RM: Hvala. Hvala. (Aplauz)

(Applause)
