Thank you for this. One of my favorites.

He's always been one of my favourites, and it seems like he's in a really good spot atm. Nice.

Love this guy so humble and down to earth

Me and my best friend were fortunate enough to do an episode of Mike's show "Drive" several years ago... he was the best. A truly humble skate rat, and we had a fantastic mini ramp session before we started filming, He's a skater's skater, and a pen pal to this day. Really hyped to see this clip with him and "Negrotaco" showing some NJ pride (I say that as someone from Louisiana who has a lot of pride in our own skate scene). Don't let anyone bullshit you... Mike is stellar on every level. A truly good person, and one of the few skateboarders that can do a demo by himself. Mike is gold.

I just seem to love Mike more and more as we both get older. Nobody can do a step hop hauling ass like that guy. His public d part still one of my all time favorites, because I’ll never forget how it made me feel when I saw it.

Legend. Met him once,about 20 years ago,he was so cool to us.

mike VVVVV!!!!!!! what a legand ! i i still have his drive dvds somewhere he is such an inspiration! i watched those vids so many times when i was younger . 9 club soon I hope!

Thanks Mike. .. for everything!

This was a great watch!

VALLELY!!! THE essence of skateboarding.

Some well said things in here about skateboarding. Mike V is the man.

What a man. Respect to you Mike !!

Mike V such a amazing dude! And I had one of the barn yard board in 90s

I skated in the late 80' 90's and I vividly remember seeing the "barnyard" board hanging in my local skate shop in Visalia Ca. (Home of Tom Knox, Paez bros, Karma etc.) Needless to say I bought it and loved it. Was one of the first to start doing the double tail design I believe. Cheers Mike!!

does this mean he's going to the Nine club soon?

it's literally the best episode and it's 5 hours

met him once at the little Vista park in '99; it was sort of a crowded day, but everyone cleared the floor just to see the legend get some in person, almost like a micro-improv demo; and one of those very rare days in Cali where every last person seemed respectful...

Legend my favorite skater!! Down to earth and straight up! An for the love of Skateboarding..

rly hope he gets on nine club jus cus the elephant in the room, at least in my mind, is that he has certainly done some srs energy work since the last time i heard him talk in some online interview years ago. completely unrecognizable person compared to just several years back, if i'm not mistaken. had to have done some real personal work and what a wonderful thing to witness. great job, mike!

One of my All time favorite skaters I meant him and got to skate with him at east coast terminal in Binghamton, New York .....great park wish it was still around

brilliant episode Chris but a simple introduction of the guy in the back seat would have saved him the eternal badge of being 'that weird guy in the back'

But then again he was just featured in cky3 beating up 4 jocks. As well as cky2k, 411vm, his wrestling matches. But seriously though. Super nice dude. Glad he reps the Dirty Jerz.

OG!

This is awesome. I remember the zoo ad maybe 98 or 99 announcing the fence at the banks and I was bummed because I wanted to Ollie it. In hischool we went to nyc on a weekend in 2003 maybe, I remember doing ollies into the fence just to prove to myself that if it wasn't there I could make it. But Mikes,Ollie over the fence made no sense being there in person. Its just not possible!

I was thinking "Weekend at Bernies" myself.

Mike V was the first pro skater I ever met in CT in 1999 at a demo. I also saw him play a hockey game for the Danbury Whalers.

Had no idea he had his own company now, Street Plant looks neato. I was just randomly watching his Etnies video the other day for the first time and I was blown away at those crazy moves in his early Powell days....stuff I never got close to even thinking of learning!

The real street part was so clean

props for the grimaldo duran shoutout

I've been calling him Mike Valley for 15 years now, even knowing there is that extra L 😅. But watching Mike V made it feel okay for me to be bonelessing down sets and onto rails, so thank you for that 👏❤

Ayyyyy I went to 7th St school!

i met him when i was 13 in 00' at a stake demo he did at a local shop on a 5 foot mini ramp.. He was one of the most positive people Ive met and was so patient with us 13 year old idiots asking him to do stupid tricks.. he told us to stop paying tony hawk lol
