===''Rodney vs. Daewon''===
Around 1997, Mullen also initiated discussions with friend and fellow professional skateboarder, [[Daewon Song]], to plan the video ''Rodney vs. Daewon'', released in 1997, which featured the two skaters "competing" with their respective video parts.<ref name="ReferenceA" /><ref name="Day" /><ref>{{cite web|year=2005–2012|title=Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song|url=http://www.skatevideosite.com/skatevideos/rodney-mullen-vs-daewon-song-1/soundtrack|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121221044204/http://www.skatevideosite.com/skatevideos/rodney-mullen-vs-daewon-song-1/soundtrack|archive-date=21 December 2012|access-date=24 December 2012|work=SkatevideoSite.com}}</ref> The concept developed into a series and, {{as of|2012|12|lc=yes}}, three "rounds" have been produced.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song: Round 2|url=http://www.skatevideosite.com/skatevideos/rodney-mullen-vs-daewon-song-2/soundtrack|work=Skatevideosite.com|access-date=24 December 2012|year=2005–2012|archive-date=25 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125184509/http://www.skatevideosite.com/skatevideos/rodney-mullen-vs-daewon-song-2/soundtrack|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Almost - Round Three|url=http://www.skatevideosite.com/skatevideos/almost-round-3/soundtrack|work=Skatevideosite.com|access-date=24 December 2012|year=2005–2012|archive-date=12 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130112021245/http://www.skatevideosite.com/skatevideos/almost-round-3/soundtrack|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Tensor===
Around 2000, Mullen engaged in the development of his own [[skateboard truck]] design, a concept that would later become the foundation for the company [[Tensor Trucks|Tensor]]. In 2000, Mullen filed for a United States [[Patent]] in support of his innovative work in the area and submitted the following abstract to the [[U.S. Patent and Trademark Office]]:

<blockquote>
A skateboard having one or more truck assemblies configured to eliminate undesired ride characteristics such as hanger-jiggle and wheel bite, without sacrificing the skateboard's steering responsiveness. Each truck assembly includes an axle assembly with a ring-shaped hanger that is confined on a kingpin using a pair of bushings, at least one of which includes an annular flange that projects into an annular gap defined between the hanger and the kingpin. This prevents the hanger from moving laterally relative to the kingpin and thereby eliminates undesired ride characteristics such as hanger-jiggle and wheel bite. In a separate feature of the invention, the skateboard truck assembly further incorporates a low-friction slider plate that enhances the rider's performance of certain maneuvers and at the same time protects other components of the truck assembly from undue wear.<ref>{{cite web|title=United States Patent Mullen|url=http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6443471.PN.&OS=PN/6443471&RS=PN/6443471|work=USPTO Patent Full Text and Image Database|publisher=Office of the Chief Communications Officer|access-date=25 May 2012|author=Staff|date=3 September 2002|archive-date=3 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150603085929/http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6443471.PN.&OS=PN%2F6443471&RS=PN%2F6443471|url-status=live}}</ref></blockquote>

===Almost and Dwindle Distribution===

|"The biggest obstacle to creativity is breaking through the barrier of disbelief."<br/>&mdash;Rodney Mullen, 2013<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBbmNAZWq-E|title=On getting up again|last=Mullen|first=Rodney|date=October 2013|publisher=TEDxOrangeCoast|access-date=2019-11-03|archive-date=2019-11-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191101232140/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBbmNAZWq-E|url-status=live}}</ref>]]
Mullen subsequently left Enjoi to co-found [[Almost Skateboards]] with [[Daewon Song]], who had been unable to find success with the two preceding deck companies that he had founded, Deca and Artafact. Mullen and Song proceeded to recruit Cooper Wilt (a former Artafact rider), [[Chris Haslam (skateboarder)|Chris Haslam]] (a former Deca and Artafact rider), [[Greg Lutzka]], and [[Ryan Sheckler|Ryan Scheckler]] to form the initial basis of the company.

After years of success and controversy, [[Steve Rocco]] decided to sell [[World Industries]]. In 2002, World Industries, under the holding name "Kubic Marketing," was sold to [[Globe International]] for US$46 million. Its owner Rocco and Mullen, a principal investor, both became instant multimillionaires.  Kubic's management remained intact, and Mullen began working for Globe under the [[Dwindle Distribution]] brand.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kubic Buys Globe|url=http://skateboarding.transworld.net/2002/07/05/globe-buys-kubic/|work=Transworld Skateboarding|publisher=Bonnier Corporation|access-date=26 September 2012|date=5 July 2002|archive-date=20 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200920080906/https://skateboarding.transworld.net/news/globe-buys-kubic/|url-status=live}}</ref>

{{As of|2012|12}}, Mullen remains the co-owner and a team rider for the Almost brand; his role at Almost also includes research and development on new designs and technologies, including Impact Support, Double Impact, and Uber Light.<ref>{{cite web|title=Impact Support|url=http://almostawebsite.com/impact-support/|work=Almost a website|publisher=almost skateboards|access-date=26 September 2012|year=2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205164332/http://www.almostawebsite.com/impact-support/|archive-date=5 February 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Double Impact|url=http://almostawebsite.com/double-impact/|work=Almost a website|publisher=almost skateboards|access-date=26 September 2012|year=2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130120234850/http://almostawebsite.com/double-impact/|archive-date=20 January 2013}}</ref>  The Uber Light design was a collaborative effort between Mullen and the CL Composites company, utilizing a design that consists of "a deck inside a deck", whereby, "The internal carbon fiber foam deck is ultra-light and nearly as stiff as metal. It acts like rebar, or a skeleton embodied by a standard 7-ply layup. It also vastly improved the lateral rigidity. The deck wears, slides, and looks like a normal 7-ply, but it's lighter and has a supernatural pop that lasts far longer than any normal deck."<ref>{{cite web|title=Uber Light|url=http://almostawebsite.com/uber-light/|work=Almost A Website|publisher=Almost Skateboards|access-date=23 December 2012|year=2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130624180955/http://almostawebsite.com/uber-light/|archive-date=24 June 2013}}</ref>

Mullen also contributes to the design of experimental and composite deck constructions for Dwindle's other brands, such as [[Blind Skateboards|Blind]] and Darkstar.<ref>{{cite web|title=Guarantees|url=http://darkstarskate.com/guarantee/wood/|work=Darkstar|access-date=26 September 2012|year=2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225040242/http://darkstarskate.com/guarantee/wood/|archive-date=25 December 2013}}</ref>

=== Video game appearances ===
Mullen's popularity grew in 2000 when he made his first appearance in the [[Tony Hawk's (series)|''Tony Hawk's'' video game series]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Webster|first1=Andrew|date=January 21, 2014|title='OlliOlli' is 'Tony Hawk' reimagined as a side-scrolling Vita game|work=[[The Verge]]|url=https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/21/5328852/olliolli-ps-vita-review|url-status=live|access-date=18 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180119120217/https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/21/5328852/olliolli-ps-vita-review|archive-date=19 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Barksdale|first1=Aaron|date=4 December 2015|title=How Skateboarding Became More Than A White Dude's Sport|work=[[Huffington Post]]|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-skateboarding-became-more-than-a-white-dudes-sport_us_55fb8f4ee4b0fde8b0cdc827|url-status=live|access-date=18 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171011121802/https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-skateboarding-became-more-than-a-white-dudes-sport_us_55fb8f4ee4b0fde8b0cdc827|archive-date=11 October 2017}}</ref> Mullen has since appeared in various titles of the [[Tony Hawk's (series)|''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater'' series]] including:

In 2015, Mullen wrote the foreword to the Dwindle and Globe history book ''Unemployable: 30 Years of Hardcore, Skate and Street''<ref>{{cite book|author1=Jason Boulter|url=http://www.thameshudson.com.au/item_details.php?id=19797|title=Unemployable: 30 Years of Hardcore, Skate and Street|date=December 2015|publisher=Thames & Hudson Australia Pty Ltd|isbn=9780500500637|location=Port Melbourne|pages=708|access-date=9 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216154216/http://www.thameshudson.com.au/item_details.php?id=19797|archive-date=16 February 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> reflecting upon his twenty-year involvement with those companies.<ref>{{cite web|author1=Robert Brown|date=November 2015|title=Interview: Rodney Mullen on being unemployable Mullen comes to Melbourne for Globe's massive new book, 'Unemployable'|url=https://www.acclaimmag.com/culture/interview-rodney-mullen-on-being-unemployable/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170814144300/https://www.acclaimmag.com/culture/interview-rodney-mullen-on-being-unemployable/|archive-date=14 August 2017|access-date=18 February 2016|website=Acclaim|publisher=ACCLAIM Magazine Pty Ltd}}</ref> In 2003, Mullen wrote and released his autobiography, ''The Mutt:  How to Skateboard and Not Kill Yourself''.<ref name="mullen"/>

=== Public speaking ===
Mullen has completed numerous public speaking engagements and has been invited to present on topics such as his personal life, skateboarding, innovation, creation, and the concept of community.

The [[Lemelson Center]] at MIT invited Mullen to visit the center, a part of the [[National Museum of American History|Smithsonian's National Museum of American History]] to discuss invention and innovation from within the context of American society. The Lemelson Center exchanged ideas and views with Mullen about skateboarding, in addition to the manner in which creativity and innovation can contribute to the development of an improved society.<ref name="Lem" />

Mullen was invited by the [[Sapling Foundation]], as part of its [[TED (conference)|TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design)]] public speaking series, to present at the [[University of Southern California]] (USC) in June 2012. Mullen's talk was entitled, "How Context Shapes Content", and featured his perspectives on the manner in which the street-based context of skateboarding influences his practice, in addition to his view of the skateboarding community, whereby he compared the community to the [[Open source movement|open source]] and [[Hacker (programmer subculture)|hacking]] movements.<ref name="Ted" /> Mullen also spoke about resilience and creativity in a talk entitled "Getting Back Up" at the Pop!Tech "Sparks of Brilliance" event in October 2013.<ref>{{cite web|date=October 2013|title=Rodney Mullen: Getting back up|url=http://www.poptech.org/popcasts/rodney_mullen_getting_back_up|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131027100113/http://poptech.org/popcasts/rodney_mullen_getting_back_up|archive-date=27 October 2013|access-date=25 October 2013|work=Pop!Tech|publisher=PopTech}}</ref>

In the first half of 2014, Mullen was invited by the [[O'Reilly Media]] technology company to present at its "Strata" and "Velocity" conferences, both of which were held in [[Santa Clara, California|Santa Clara]], California. Mullen's Strata presentation in February 2014 was titled "The Art of Good Practice" and consisted of an analysis of the nuanced way in which skateboarders practice their craft.<ref>{{cite web|date=25 June 2014|title=Rodney Mullen, "The Art of Good Practice" - Strata 2014|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7vb9OonoP8|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140716091734/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7vb9OonoP8&feature=youtu.be&list=PL055Epbe6d5aPTIYMGY7s28sBuJQFZjY_|archive-date=16 July 2014|access-date=13 July 2014|website=O'Reilly on YouTube|publisher=Google Inc|format=Video upload}}</ref>  Mullen then presented the "Build on a Bedrock of Failure" keynote in June 2014, in which he spoke of the way that "failure, pain, injury, recovery" are "embedded in the very notion of what it is to be a skateboarder".<ref>{{cite web|date=25 June 2014|title=Rodney Mullen: "Build on a Bedrock of Failure" Keynote - Velocity Santa Clara 2014|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiSiY9iWrMU|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140716090631/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiSiY9iWrMU|archive-date=16 July 2014|access-date=13 July 2014|website=O'Reilly on YouTube|publisher=Google Inc|format=Video upload}}</ref>

=== Film ===
In December 2010, Mullen stated in an interview that he was preparing to film a part for the upcoming Almost video, although he did not appear in the 2012 video, ''5-Incher''. In the 2011 Bright tradeshow interview, Mullen stated, "At first, I just wanted to be able to be alright and walk okay and run. And then it was like, okay, skate again and now it's like 'Yeah, I can do something new!'. So, if I can do that, then I'll film. If I can't, then I'll keep my skating private."<ref name="Bright" /> Both the skateboard media and in responses from Almost indicate that a full part from Mullen is scheduled for release following ''5-Incher''—Mullen was in attendance at the premiere of ''5-Incher''.<ref>{{cite web|author=Brandonapprove|date=13 December 2010|title=Rodney Mullen Interview 12/11/2010 (Part 1of 2)|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzvqpS5kGGk|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140301162444/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzvqpS5kGGk&feature=related|archive-date=1 March 2014|access-date=23 December 2012|work=YouTube|publisher=Google, Inc|format=Video upload}}</ref><ref name="Red">{{cite web|author=Cole Louison|date=5 June 2012|title=THE RETURN OF RODNEY MULLEN?|url=http://www.redbullusa.com/cs/Satellite/en_US/Article/Skating-Great-Rodney-Mullen-to-Release-First-Video-Part-Since-2004-021243218284253|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029202935/http://www.redbullusa.com/cs/Satellite/en_US/Article/Skating-Great-Rodney-Mullen-to-Release-First-Video-Part-Since-2004-021243218284253|archive-date=29 October 2013|access-date=14 September 2012|work=Red Bull USA|publisher=Red Bull}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=SeuTrinh|author2=Blair Alley|date=1 June 2012|title=Daewon, Rodney Mullen, and Seu Trinh.|url=http://skateboarding.transworld.net/1000158934/photos/almost-5-incher-premiere/?pid=36502|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120804130222/http://skateboarding.transworld.net/1000158934/photos/almost-5-incher-premiere/?pid=36502|archive-date=4 August 2012|access-date=23 December 2012|work=Transworld Skateboarding|publisher=Bonnier Corporation|format=Photo upload}}</ref>
