Mike's always been one of my favorite skaters. Would have been interesting to see how things would have been if he had stayed on Toy or Baker. The whole Baker dudes and Adrian Lopez thing was really interesting to me - never knew about that shit. The whole Bootleg situation sounds shitty also.
Mike sounds like his biggest problem was being too loyal to people, although that's one of the things I respect him most for. In my opinion, he's definitely been one of the most sane personalities in this crazy thing we call skateboarding.
