"Kristian Svitak has saved, dated, and numbered every skateboard he has ever ridden. From his days as a young skate rat in the mid-80s, starting out on the streets of Garfield Heights in Cleveland, Ohio, through a professional skate career in the 90s and 00s that took him all over the world, every board is cherished. Even now, as a family man and forever hard-charging skateboarder in Oceanside, California, each board is a chapter of his autobiography."

He was my favorite skater growing up in Cleveland
-
I’m calling bullshit on this, if I kept every board I ever skated I would have like one of those full racks
I don’t even skate that much this dude was a pro
Also it’s cute he thought people would care
-
minor threat on the grip is so sick
-
breh looks like ben kingsley
-
Hmm, Mike V uses an opportunity to interview/discuss Svitak and his collection, as well as Lance Mountain and a few others, and uses the whole format to just talk about himself and his "high level of skating" and his benevolence... sounds about right. Mike V is his own biggest fan.
Kinda bummed to not hear more about Svitak's collection honestly. But I did read that article about his collection back about a decade ago, probably in The Skateboard Mag?
-
i want the one that double heel flip front boarded a flat bar
-
Perused this but didn't read it based on comments here, cop with a board is always a turn off
-

It’s almost as if you’re 2 different people
-
Nah just one bloke that’s fucked in the head
-
I like the part in that movie where Kingsley got real mad because the lady once tried to stick her finger in his butt during sex.
-
you'd think it would be bigger collection. you think if you took one out the middle he'd notice the continuity was all wrong and it would slowly drive him mad?
-
There is a great 411 piece on this, maybe from summer 2002, I’m sorry not 411, ON video
-
Is XEN mappy? Cause mappy would pull my fucken head of
-
I think I kept the first 5 boards i used then realized there would be a bunch more and stopped. Kept a used AWS board from 1999 so I could always use it as a reference for "perfect shape for me"
-
Vallely's humble brag game is strong.
-
This guy set up a new board every two days or something? Why aren’t any broken? I have so many questions but am not reading anything mike v writes
And this comes from a boy who loves mike v
-
met mike v once and asked him what happened with etnies. Said don and pierre kicked him off so that bastien and arto would join.
Claims he wanted to fight jermey fox but the dude locked himself in a office at etnies and neither don or Pierre would come down and talk to him lol.
I can listen to mike v stories all day but the second the guy writes I’m over it.

Right? After the first paragraph it’s like- wait I thought this was about Svitak’s boards. Was curious about those

Call me when he is showing off his large-ass colored wheel collection.

I remember hearing this somewhere a while ago, around this time Chris Lambert, Mike V, and Fabrizio Santos (can't remember who else) got the boot and Etnies picked up Arto, Bastien, Stefan Janoski and I think Zered Basset. What was Etnies thinking.

This needs to be said, but Mike Vallely sucks. All of his bands suck, his career as a hockey "enforcer" sucked, and honestly, as much as I love them, streetplants, no-comply, and the boneless only go so far.
Every business venture this dude tries to embark on is supposed to be "punk". Unfortunately, my local shop held his bands show a couple years back, he's just a douchebag that milks the industry.
I dig Svitak though, but the Label needs to "kill" itself and all its reincarnations.
