mike v is just in the air lately, lots of talk and type. as a skater, he definitely has made a huge impact- like him or hate him he has made a unique mark. he's an iconoclast. outside of his skating, yes, way more controversial, and often with good reason. a month ago or so i approached him about doing a feature with us where we look at both his skating life and his non-skating life in an in-depth way, and he agreed. so there's something that will examine all of this in the works, maybe sometime in the spring. more details to follow, but i'm taking it pretty seriously. i know i'm taking a risk in both putting questions to him that he may not like as well as taking a risk in showcasing his skating here where he obviously has his detractors, but i think it's a timely thing to do and it should definitely make for some interesting reading and watching.
