in the disposable book he says of his elephant graphic : "I reckon it's still the best board graphic i've ever had, if not the best graphic of all time."

that's some self important shit to submit that to print in a book chronicling the entire history of skateboard graphics.

its not even the best world graphic, the one randy colvin board of the chick crackin her shit open is way sicker

But not as sick as the Colvin velvet board… or the Rasta Rebel… or the Colvinetics…

World had some seriously on fire graphics in that period. It's real hard to pin down a top five, let alone the best. One thing in Mike Vs defence though is that the whole historical status of that deck is wrapped up together. The graphic and the shape and when it hit and who released it make it one of the most important decks in skateboarding. Of all the historically significant decks it probably does have the best graphics. I mean, no-one is gonna pick the G&S Warptail graphic over that!

He used to show up to my local shop every other month with his board brand. Awesome shapes and comes in the old plastic bag instead of shrink wrap. He gave one to me once, but he also sells some for like 100 dollars.

Mike V is like a yin-yang, he's done some really cool stuff but he's also a mega kook.

One of my favourite boards ever was a Streetplant board. 9" pool shape, super mellow, 14.5"wb. I'd love to have another one. Sold out now. I've hit up Prof Schmidt asking if any other brands use that shape but no response.

he was talking about his powell elephant graphic by VCJ in 88, not the world elephant or barnyard.

Oh shit i just checked the website and they've brought back that shape, and also a 14.25" wb version. The graphic is corny but i don't care, the shape is amazing. I wouldn't have checked if it weren't for this thread, so thanks OP, you're helping Mike V sell boards rn

i fucked with mike until i listened to his nine club. four hours of him talking about how everyone gives him props for everything all the time while the host dude just goes "thats wild". what a goof.

They have one of those groups where I live that is like a street team or fan club for the board brand. They used to organize some meetups at parks around town, and you'd see like 15-20 dudes with full pads riding giant shaped boards carving up those 3ft bad boy bowl corners.

They were all pretty nice guys, but they are like...really into it.

Met Mike V one time at an event they did, he seemed OK. Didn't really say much.

Well the interview explains the confederate flag, which is a huge bummer.

It makes sense that he struggles to fit in. Being a racist vegan environmentalist isn't a common combination.

Don't we all develop through our lives?
That's what Mike has done and it's been in the public eye since he was a kid. He was a pretty extreme guy so his phases have all been pretty full on but I can't and won't give him shit for that. Seems to me like he is doing it right now. Trying to be a good family man and ethical businessman.
Can't remember who said it but I like the quote that goes something like this.
A man who believes the same at 50 as he did at 20 is the sign of a wasted life!

woah there mate, check your logic! #SLAPlogic still wants him crucified on the cross for ripping off Ed back in 91

Why do people refer to others with weird pet names like "honeybun" and "baby" when they really fucking hate each other? Next time when you're at a bar, and some guy calls you "sweet peaches", you better get the fuck out.
