I think if Mike was a dude you knew or skated with, he'd drive you fucking nuts at times but you wouldn't be able to help staying fond of him because underneath all the bullshit, he's got a good heart and he loves the fuck out of skating.

Yeah, he's highly emotional and oversensitive and overcompensates for feelings of inferiority with a lot of blustering macho bullshit. And yeah, I wouldn't want to be in any kind of business relationship with him. But that one episode of "Drive" or whatever where he drove to that sick kid's house and skated the curb in front with him & his friends for hours made me cry when I watched it. So sue me, I'm a pussy, but I can't imagine another pro who would have done that for a random kid.

Dude's okay in my book - for whatever the fuck that's worth.

there's no way i'm reading all of that.

Here?s the cliff notes:
Poor me. I?m great and creative, and I don?t like it when things don?t go my way. I?ve been used and abused. I?m so misunderstood. Why don?t people see things my way?
[close]

Here's the main thing I get out of it:

They paid me next to nothing ?
[close]
Well what is ?next to nothing? to Mike V? Neither of us know what the actual amount is, but considering the source and his tendency to exaggerate, I?d bet ?next to nothing? is probably more like ?not what I think I?m worth?.
This isn?t his first BBQ and he lives a pretty cushy life now, so I don?t buy that he went into this blindly with good intentions, only to find out they are only going to pay him next to nothing. In all likeliness things didn?t turn out how he expected and now he is playing the victim again.
He goes in there expected to get paid more to do the job he turned down 13 years ago (which according to his blog has been filled by the same person since), and so he bails. Then gets all hurt when they decide against letting him play both sides of the fence.
I?m not defending George Powell or his practices, but he is a businessman. Why would you work with a guy who shows no commitment, has talked bad about you and your company time and again, and yes will ultimately be your competition? Because he spent 4 years with Powell in the 90?s when he had nowhere else to go? He said it himself; he swallowed his pride and buckled down with them because he had no other choice.

That's how I see it. I'm not saying I'm right.

This puzzles me too, because didn't he sign a contract with Powell this last time around stating what he would be getting paid for his salary and for board royalties?

That may be true but I don't know Mike. I only know what he puts out there. I went from die hard fan as a kid repeatedly watching his Public Domain part, to wishing he'd just shut the fuck up.

I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion of him, I'm just offering my own.

One line ranter.

How can you go back to the same company 4/5 times and still bitch about getting fucked over?At the same time saying how you'd let friends down from Die by the PorkSword and try and lump that on to Powell?

Also, didn't Mike ride for Land Rover? When they split did he write a rant about how the car industry is soulless?

Seems like the kind of guy who would get into a fight in front of a child over a hockey stick...

How is it Mike V and Ricky Oyola both think they're owed so much and bitching on about it... and then Jeremy Wray doesn't even have a pro board out?

Top 5 things I hate-

When people go "fast" they feel the need to get as low as possible
When people do a little carve and put there hand on the ground
Early grabs over 1 foot gaps
Mike Vallely

Regardless of the merits of yet another Mike V board company and general thoughts about wishfully intended sexual acts engaged in or around his daughter, that video generally made me quite hyped to skate.
