Mike V like the stone cold of skateboarding

I havn't skated for 10 years. I started in the 80s and stopped in 2003 so the late 80s and 90s has special meaning to me. I still watch recent clips of skating but I just do not see it the same as I did back then.

Shoutout to Steve Rocco!! Miss you homie!!!

WHAT lol that credit card trick in the beginning hilarious classic

Mike V.....Phil Anselmos younger brother.

HELLOOW BEEN WAITING TO THIS TIMES FREE LUNCH!!!

mike is awesome at telling stories!

3:40 classic

Right on man, lets put skateboarding in the next olympics. Maybe we can be as cool as the snowboarders and figure skaters.

That was the most civilized argument I've ever seen on the internet. Congratulations.

This interview was awesome

Holy shit Mike, bro are you serious about this. Oh well if the woman you need wants you at world industries, so be it. But the Powell Peralta Mike is still my hero. Love you. Thanks for the inspiration. So pure and awesome. Skateboarding for Life!

Mike Vallely RULES!!!

Steve Rocco is top 3 skateboarder of all time for his influence on the 90s

Ur right i got mixed up but they were all competing ith each other at the time... brian lotti, matt hensley and etc..-

I remember they were riding for world industries with Jeremy Klein, Rodney Mullen, Carroll etc..

Yea but there are also alot of people that not everyone knows about doing crazy tricks. And also everyone that skateboards is going to start doing tricks like a tre flip and hardflip down gaps no matter what, its what you first learn to do down stairs, but once they get them down, if they really want to go somewhere in skateboarding they will learn to do more tricks down stairs and whatnot

Look up my friend Adam Miller. He's got a few videos on here. Adam's in high school and is a local at our park, and he does so many creative tricks as well as so-called 'normal' tricks. His only sponsor is the local shop. I have witnessed more never-been-done tricks from him than anybody else (I'm filming his first full video part).

There will always be people who don't get the credit they deserve, that's how life is.And yes every one will start with similar stuff, but some will just mock other skaters and do what they do(which everyone does) but some just never get to that creative point doing things people wouldn't think of doing.Making new combos, trying new tricks, even though some are completely capable.But that doesn't matter, its about the fun, do what you like, in the end that's all that really matters

Will do,but first I need a new camcorder because I don't want to use my friends flip. You have to stand far back its not bad quality just a pain in the ass to use. So Im saving up for a sony fx7.I also have to wait till, its not frezzing out to film

Nice Frehley's Comet shirt!

Exactly, What I'm saying is skateboarding is a completely independent "sport", you don't need anyone else theirs no set rules, yes contests make it more into one, but you can still bend the rules and do your own thing. But many people aren't contest skaters, skateboarding is what you make it.

Rubish Heap was a great video

Haha sorry you feel that way man but believe it or not alot of people obviously start skating for fun, but some just loose that passion but continue to try to be successful in it.Ive seen it a lot, for me I love skating I could skate the rest if my life and never get bored, i would also love to get somewhere in it but if not that's fine too but I guess I'm just blank as fuck

Mike Vallely is my favorite skater.. for old school.

I don't think I did misinterpret your comment. Daewon's part in 5-incher is infinitely creative and weird, and none of his tricks are common. I agree that a lot of people who watch skate videos do care about the idea of "doing a trick differently", but the way skateboarding is perceived and criticized doesn't change skateboarding itself. That's just my opinion though, not saying you're wrong or anything.

The first line of the description says its from December 2009..

deep words

The older days of skateboarding were incredible, but what's to say today's skateboarding isn't? To me, skateboarding is skateboarding. We shouldn't judge fellow skaters or label them because of the tricks they do. Your skating should reflect you and what you find fun, whether it's a 360 flip or a boneless, and not be based on someone else's opinion. Everyone views skating different and that's the beauty of it. The only glory days in skateboarding are the ones you create yourself.

Somebody when I was

3:44 welp lady got an earful

Mike is the best old school skater!!

I knew something is wrong with Berra but please don't tell me Koston is in it to ? He seems kinda to happy at times. Like what's wrong with him ? I hope that makes sense...

**BOOM!**

Dude the old skateboard days seemed so awesome now its like everyone its too serious for the wrong reasons they think that any trick that's uncommon is dumb or doesn't count or stupid to have in a part.Their so judgmental. Sure I love doing 360 flips or hard flips and so on but I love doing some stuff that people wouldn't think of , skating about creativity theirs not suppose to be rules.People need to remember its about the fun, not rules that's why we skate, were not playing sports.

it's a fact. common knowledge dood... they got into it from their buddy Jason Lee the actor who used to be a pro skater in the 90s on Stereo skateboards, there are a lot more people you would be suprised who else is into that crap

Well "son", I know my history because I was there. Plan B was part of Dwindle which also distributed World Industries, 101, etc. but Plan B was an entirely different company. Saying Carroll skated for World is like saying Koston skates for Anti-Hero.

I can't remember when I was younger somebody called me out for being rich and they knew that I was rich when they were fighting over money and they called me Rich they did not see me as the poor skateboarder and they called me out as Rich when I was skating in downtown Lake Worth

If I looked up the right guy he is pretty damn good. I'm not saying the is no more creative skaters, I'm just saying not as many as their use to be , at-least that's what it seems like to me.There will always be creative and un-creative people like I stated many times, your friend is a creative one.

When I found out Lee he was a cult member it was like a hard punch to the chest.

You don't get good doing a thousand tricks once, you get good from doing one trick a thousand times

What's with the Element hat? hasn't he been off Element for a while now?

...It could be creative for that one pro, maybe, but that's different than say, doing a No Comply across a gap or a primo slide to impossible or something. How often have you seen that compared to guys doing the same complicated flips down stair sets and the same tech tricks on ledges?

;) that's how you got to do it.

skating back in the day: "yo, fuck team sports...this seams cooler" > skating today: "Sponser Me"

I never got that vibe from him at all. Except when he fought 5 jocks at once.

Always thought Mike V was a bit crazy from his skate vids. He seems pretty sane and awesome.

I totally see where your coming from, but a lot of people who do those things are pros, company's picked them up because of their skill and creativity because they stood out.But not all but a lot of people I see at parks, are good but they all do the same thing, which is fine, there's always going to be creative and uncreative people.

Watch Almost's 5-incher. Shit is still about fun.

I actually think it was antwuan dixon about nollie heelflips

who cares what people believe. As skateboarders, all the people that you mentioned are groundbreaking and legendary, and that's all that matters. You talk about those guys like you know them, and you obviously don't.

Even though I'm the Ritz skateboarder

damn I didnt know that put the link of the interview hahhahahahha wtf

You weren't there, you don't know. Todays skating is rad and the difficulty level is ridiculous but it is too competitive and too much like an organized sport. Kids train all day at the skatepark trying to make sponsor-me videos and the fun is gone.

I'm not saying theres no more creative people, there's a lot, daewon, haslem, mullen, chris cole, Richie jackson,mike v,and many more.A Lot of people are creative especially pros, (that's one of the reasons the company's sponsor them)But more and more as the years go on, the people I SEE AT PARKS, are all starting to do all the same stuff, and have almost the identical style. Like I said earlier there will always be creative and uncreative people.

look close around 1:53; he sneaks a really fast one over a nearby muscle car

this is free lunch archives

Steve sounds like one helluva dude. weird or not.

Doesn't matter it doesn't matter it doesn't matter as long as you lost eight boarding and it doesn't matter

ide be willing to bet there is a lot more to it then that jason lee is a legend and berra and koston need i say more i don’t give a fuck who they pray to they kill it

I would say stuff like that's less about creativity and more about trying to be the most skillful than other skaters. yeah, stuff like double flips, late flips and complicated stuff down stairs aren't always done, but it's not because people are being creative with it, it's cause of the skater's skill level. It's not creative when a big pro like starts adding late flips and combos to his stuff and everyone starts doing the same exact thing.

Hahah either way its pretty bad ass.

Try so hard to be like you

oh my bad haha

ELEMENT

ok your misinterpreting what I'm saying, I'm saying people need to stop focusing on , stuff like "ooo you did that trick differently and getting upset", and just remember to have fun.So your point has no logic of coarse their having fun, who wouldn't that is a professional?

I 100% agree, its like someone can do a bunch of tricks but they all look like shit, and they barley land them, its way better to do a couple tricks very nice and clean. which is a huge part of style. I like your saying man, or who ever made it up.

He may be good, but any trick your friend can do, Rodney Mullen already did it, probably even 20 years ago. ;) Have him watch Rodney vids!

He knows about Rodney. He knows so much about skateboarding it's ridiculous and has met many pros. I love Rodney's skating and have a lot of respect for him, but can he do backflips down gaps? Just saying...

Yeah I can hear you what you saying man but you know I think you're kind of wrong about Zumiez Zumiez got all sizes I went to a local skate shop here in my town he didn't evilly have my size he sells all kids sizes

Well actually i disagree with you. People now a days are actually doing tricks that aren't your regular tricks like a tre flip. People are starting to do douple flps and late flips and other tricks like ghetto birds down stairs. I actually think you dont see the regular basic tricks as much as you used to because people are actually getting more creative

I wanna like Mike, but its hard after know he stole Jason's girl and Ed's money

Couldn't this free lunch with Mike V have been one whole part?? Split into 4 parts uploaded over 7 months makes the viewer lose track of the interview tbh... Not being a dick, just constructive criticism.

Was his free lunch vegan?

I think your dad wrong you know who has the sizes who has the clothes izumi's yeah all the other name brands are okay but you know what my family they're rich we owned hotels and stuff and I'm trying to open up a skate business I was born with a silver spoon to the mouth but I never grow up going into the big stage shops anyway I grew up in Florida went in the Island water sports

nice and first can i win something?

I came addressed it's another day but you know even though we can't say what we want to say I would not we try so hard to be the poor skateboarder and some of my friends they would never say to my face were friends because I was rich and they were the poor poor white hispanic skateboarder we didn't they do they did they knew you know what who cares

Carroll on world? I don't think so. he rode for h-street then plan-b then girl

Destruction of my relationships trying to be the poor skateboarder and trying to impress the girls as a poor skateboarder never never LOL LOL

Everyone speaking about Jason lee I think he's not Scientology any more cuz he lost 2 or 3 wives due to it now has a new one if I'm wrong I'm thinking of a bother actor

if your so creative post a video

lol Mike V stole Jason Lee's chick

Yeah where the fuck was all that money coming from.

I would not want to be the poor skateboarder no I would not even though I'm rich I rather stay where I'm at bro

I think that you're wrong who got the best name brands who got the clothes that fit who got the shoes go in the store and get what you want come back out it's no different not rich not the poor skater not the rich skater in the beginning we didn't ever had no money bro we didn't have nothing with just regular skateboarders that skated it wasn't the rich skateboarders it wasn't the poor skateboarders

Is that even English?

lol most the kids that hate dont even skate so dont trip

What the hell is up with that mustache?

I think you're missing the point man..

you're second i was first... FAIL

Vallely snaking Jason Lee's girl. Nice!
