My favorite Vallely related endeavor was By The Sword.
Primarily because it’s life span was so short that I didn’t have to suffer it for long.
Anybody ever notice that pretty much every new company announce he has made over the years starts with “I’ve always wanted to do a company where the creative vision was my own, and blah, blah, blah, etcetera…”?
Does he really become that disenchanted with his own creative vision that fast?
What gives, Michael?
Also, I almost feel bad for those four random ocks; you think they had any idea what they were stepping to?

I have a theory that the reason Mike V starts so many companies is that you can only claim losses on 3 years for a business. So, 2-3 years, pocket the tax break, close up shop, start new company, rinse, repeat.

RIP to a real off shore account kinda dude.

Yeah, the Street Plant shit is huge among a certain type of 45+ skater. Mike V is totally still selling his personality and there are dudes still eating it up.

Didn't know accell was his.
One time a sister bought a skateboard at a garage sale for like $10 and gave it to me. It was a red Santa Cruz Ron Whaley with destroyer trucks and like 58mm Mike v accell wheels it was basically brand new but only like 7.75 so I just gave it some kid at the skatepark. Maybe dumbest thing I ever did.
Mike v might also be my favourite skater that's also my least favourite person (apart from murderers etc) all time parts https://youtu.be/m6ye3LN_gpk

Mike V's greatest hits is the correct answer. One of the all time greatest pieces of skate media. Considering who he was vs who he has become, and just the absurdity of the tape in general, it's really a fucking masterpiece. like it or not, its pretty funny that it even exists.

It's funny but you're laughing at it not with it. I think it says a lot that at that same time the "toughest" skater didn't take up boxing or any real type of martial art but chose to be part of some budget show wrestling

All of this is very true, and adds to the enjoyment factor. Something like this couldn't be made today. Certainly not from a big name pro anyway. Aside from the random fighting with security guard clips you see here and there, who else has done anything like this? Weck had a singular clip of him hitting some dude in that part he put out, which is like one instance from one oddball in the skate community.

The dude was on fucking powell and etnies, he was in the tony hawk games, and has a self titled vhs of him doing bonelesses and punching strangers, with commentary, and had the nerve to call it his "greatest hits".

Mike V's skating from back in the day is great - Public Domain, Rubbish Heap, Speed Freaks etc. Actually even quite liked his Suburban Diners part.
When I met him (1991) he was a total clown and I went straight home and took his poster off my wall (that'll show him, I said!)

Television was pretty sick.

Mike V Powell with Gershon, Jahmal Williams, and Mike Santarossa was a pretty good iteration.

The Hangover and the beat down of 4 random ocks were top notch.

Other than that, Mike V is lost on today.

Street Plant has been around a minute and I’m pretty sure it’s just him in his garage. He moved to Iowa. He seems pretty content if social media is to be believed. I say let the man be happy. Literally everyone in skate boarding is or has been a fucking kook at some point.

Thanks in advance for helping.  I know black label, element, elephant, one or two more times on powell, and a bunch of other stuff is in there too.  Was Crimson his?  Or Rising Tide?  Or Lighting?  Some things like that?  Did he have gest board on Krooked?

Holy cow how did I forget World?  Old age.

Wikipedia says he was on Powell three times, third time in 2010.   And Powell still sells Vallely boards on their website.

If he has only had 6 companies of his own (two with Ed), then that is fewer than I thought.

Companies hawk (no pun intended) old riders’ boards all the time. I think it’s generally cool as long as both parties agree and the royalty checks keep coming in.

Hell, I wonder if his Powell royalties are comparable to his whole Street Plant income.

What’s the deal with Elephant? It’s still around, still does Mike V stuff, but does seem to be related to Street Plant at all, right? I don’t understand why it exists and who buys it.

I have no idea who buys it, never seen any Elephant product in person, but it’s a Brad Dorfman/Select Distribution joint, same as Vision, Hosoi, Schmitt Stix, and Tracker 1980s reissues. If Sims hadn’t moved to NHS in ‘92 you’d probably be able to buy those reissues there as well. I haven’t seen anything from Mike V on why he created and then left Elephant, but I think it’s a safe assumption that Dorfman’s way of running things didn’t mesh with Mike’s vision for the company. Too bad Brad still owns the name and graphics.

Fast forward straight to some sweet sweet Jim Gagne

Out of curiosity I just checked on YouTube - that was a Mike V/Neal Hendrix back-to-back in Label Kills (pretty rough stretch to test our VCR’s fast forward capabilities).  Fortunately we were then rescued by GOAT legend Jub immediately after…

I mean there’s a story around the black label part, and it’s been explained multiple times on here too. Couldn’t you at least hate on his spoken word or something?

as the story goes mike v was late for a very important mike vusiness meeting and had to film his video part on the way

This.

please show me all the parts you filmed after getting a cast off your leg
again, he's done some cringey shit and you can call him out on that, but that part is kinda beyond his control no?
Also, hive-mind on here likes to ignore the fact that he ollied the baldy pipe gap the hard way in that part which was an nbd/ maybe even still is? Someone on insta (Nora and vern?) went there recently and couldn't even cross the gap without a bridge and this mofo Ollies up it the wrong way...

Corey Duffel kickflipped it.

I'm not a pro skater, if you wanna see 3 odd minutes of me pushing agressify sure why not. I Just got stitches outa my foot. Third op this year.
I used to be a chef in a one star restaurant, you think if I showed up to work after an injury I could get away with saying "sorry boss can't cook the one star plates but here is some agro Mac&cheese?"
why not? The story goes that lucero wanted a part out of him no? My personal theory is that he (and the video as a whole) was trying to bring some flow back into skating, as at the time it was just mainly push, handrail hammer and then roll onto the grass. I guess his injury allowed him to do that? I dunno, but it’s not like he didn’t skate hard again after he recovered, just baffles me that of all the things you could clown Mike V for, SLAP gets a collective boner over this particular part when the reasons behind it have been discussed at length…

I’m a big fan of that Pat Smith part.  Some tasteful New York and DC skating, good music, lots of the OG Rowley pro model Vans shoe.  I still watch that one, Svitak’s, and Jason Adams’ from time to time.

I've always found Mike V to be interesting.

Can I ask for everyone's help in listing every single one of his board sponsors here on this thread?  I genuinely want to know.  It would be terrific if we could put them in chronological order too.

Powell Peralta
New Deal
TV
Television
(A lot more here)
Street Plant

Thanks in advance for helping.  I know black label, element, elephant, one or two more times on powell, and a bunch of other stuff is in there too.  Was Crimson his?  Or Rising Tide?  Or Lighting?  Some things like that?  Did he have gest board on Krooked?

I think its
Powell Peralta
World industries
New Deal

Powell (again)
Black label
Vallely

Vallely has some made in U.S.A., biodegradable, plant-based, non-toxic, etc. boards for sale on Street Plant. I'm still mad at him for not re-issuing the Jumbo Gonz decks like he said he would.
