Great part. His tricks are a perfect fusion of old school and modern. And done with very distinct style and all fully tweaked out. So glad I came up in the 80's and got to experience skateboarding before street was a thing, and then to see it explode and evolve.
And that notion of "not as technically difficult" is something else. I can pull 360 double flips first try and flip nosegrinds. But Mike V does stuff in terrain so many terrains and in such a big extension that I can't really mess with his stuff. Respect to this man, he is awesome and people who hate his style are young ignorant minds that sold into the standarization of skateboaring.
there's no taking away his flat-land infused pump, laying plants on transitions so fluid, it's got 80's stamped and endorsed, Legendary figure we see growing up from turning pro to sponsored rider to owning his own brand, we see him developing through magazines and Co. videos. Oldskool style of skating compensates for non-technical Mike V just doesnt subscribe to. Instead he goes BIG. keeps on with distinguished style. Never shys away from a fight. bless Mike V. Lotsa' love and respect from, Sabah, North Borneo, East Malaysia.
Every time I see Mike V skating it feels so powerful...I love this kind of approach...Kinda of go like 200 mph fast, and explode to your trick...even the saves with a hand grip and stuff look amazing..total control.
Sick style and innovation. Not just a mess cookie cutter flip tricks like everyone else seems to do now. His flip tricks are on videos 20 years old....
skateboarding means something different to everyone but above all else, it should be for fun not who is better than who and who can and can't do what. and this video was sick as shit, he inspires me even when i dont do any grabs, he makes me want to learn them.
Some guys have noticed that they skate more to impress other people and not for fun, it applies to skateboarding and bmx, I'm 35 years old and I remember that before, although we all started to be "cool" in a short time it became our fun, no I know the boys seem very arrogant to me now.
I feel like such a dork looking back at it, but Mike V is my favorite skater and I tried to emulate his style so hard that it's definitely influenced how I turned out as a person.
i hate people that say the tricks like this r not actuall tricks they justdon't get it without theese trick that mike v is keepein alive there would be no newschool tricks and what he is doing is real skating there is no rules in skateboarding that tell you what is a trick and wha isn't that is what is supposed to make skating special mike is just doing what he wants to do on the skateboard he is just having fun and expressing himself which is what skating is all about
If you saw this live, as in you were 10ft from him as he flew himself up a wall and dropped back down into a quarter pipe, you’d be clapping and saying wtf??? Video doesn’t capture the intensity and ballsiness of his skating. I’ve seen him skate at parks and when he is there he is the best one there and all eyes are on him. And you clap without hesitating when he pulls a huge 360 grab over a transition.
@djc2oo7 yeah mike v is the best ever at wall plants and that stuff and my personal hero but i'm just saying he could kickflip cause one dude said he couldn't but he doesn't like doing main stream tricks and that's why he is awesome
Mike is awesome ..so much creativity ...is not like other good skaters they know lots of diffucul tricks you wach them is all same think ...but this guy me gosh ...i watching him its crazy ..wall ride catch nose turn back and jump back 180 ...are u kidding me? who can do that he take is old school style and make him total perfection and inovate lots of old school tricks ..can u make handplant turn almost frontflip catch the board and land to miniramp?? fucking hell...or do Caveman 180 rotacion with fingerflip down to stairs but dont put feets on ground just land from board so hard,,,,awesome
@enjoiATL7195 "normal tricks"... that just shows your ignorance. mike v rocks old school tricks, and while they may not be as technically difficult as tre flips down big stair sets, they have soul and style, and like polejamthing said, they arent as easy as you think. "normal tricks" are the ones done by everyone else over and over for exposure, mike v does "creative tricks" for himself. i hope this helps. open your mind
i remember this dropped when i was like 15. i hated on it so much at the time. i was young and ignorant. looking back man this part is fucking gnarly
you know what separates Mike V from all other skaters........ PASSION!!!!! keep rockin' Mr. V
there will never be another mike v his style is fucking amazing

Hate is put aside in skateboard. It's September 2022. It's a Olympic sport now. 📡👽🇺🇸 RUN!!! THE WAVE IS STILL Rolling INTO A SANAMI...,😁🧙♂️🛸☝️
There are people who "hate" this man, I find it incredible and a lack of respect from the skaters themselves.
Guys amazing who remembers his tampa stuff
the best part is that hes in the band singing the song too
It's skaters like this that make me love it so much!!!
There is so much creativity in it.
there's no taking away his flat-land infused pump, laying plants on transitions so fluid, it's got 80's stamped and endorsed,

Forget about the gnarly, he is pure talent, style and creativity, all timeless and getting more interesting and more admirable through time.

not who is better than who and who can and can't do what.
and this video was sick as shit, he inspires me even when i dont do any grabs, he makes me want to learn them.

an absolute natural on a skateboard... hell yeah
I feel like such a dork looking back at it, but Mike V is my favorite skater and I tried to emulate his style so hard that it's definitely influenced how I turned out as a person.
Imagine how this part would of been if he still had his Ollie from the 90’s 🤯 even after his injury he fucking shreds
1:51 holy jesus thats sick

Sick shit. I don't care what all of the haters say, Mike V is a beast.
1:17 woah

@McKoebs Look at the end
@snbggt souds like a quote from the lizard king
@Jange4ROCKS he can tre flip double set so he is able to do a kickflip.
is it just me or does anyone else really want to play tony hawk's underground after watching this?
@Mikevasquez666 its all i skate the only new school thing i do is a mix of a boneless with a 360 flip
The darkest skate part ever filmed.

Holy fuck ! I just went to prove how crappy his style was to a friend but... gosh this is dope !
This man is the reason double kicktail skateboards became popular. Every modern skater owes him a debt.

Chuck Norris
ok, WHO IS ELLIS FROST?????
very good skateboarder
he only did a few normal tricks. the rest were just hand plants foot plants & wall rides
So?
the music didnt help
Im really not into that type of skating it doesnt look fun at all
that's cause your interests in skating are garbage
This looks way more fun than just doing parlor flip tricks lol
Lmao what a weak fucking part!
