He pushed Street skate to its limits of creativity, it is hard to me to pick one from among Natas, Gonz and M.V, but I do believe that they are the ones who Made Street skate something awesome. Time passed and new skaters, great ones came along, but they are the ones I admire the most. There is a footage of MV skating a coastal zone that is particularly awesome, and he made simple stuff but at top speed, and I could not believe how he could manage to tailstop without being tossed off the board, seemed that he contradicted Newton or something.
2:15... What kind of Dungeons and Dragons skateboard sorcery was that board spin? That was awesome! This video is insanely good. We need more skating like this.
mostly too old school for me (like the boneless and anything that has feet on the ground), but the wall rides and the streetplant at the end are still awesome. Impressed Mike can still do such acrobatics at nearly 50 yo.
no flippy take twenty tries hand rail tech bullshit. just more stylish. to be honest....street skating is getting stale to watch. its all super hard tech stuff. gnarly at first....getting old. this is more my style.
Its so fun to watch because he's just having fun. There aren't really any mistakes, just pushing and going with it. That's why skaters like him are just rad to watch. They all push so fast and hard and show that they love every minute of it.
marc bascougnano he realized safety is important and a lot of kids look up to him so he wants to change the culture of skating. Hard to skate with a broken skull.
Mike ‘s style always makes skating look so fun.
Awesome style. The best part is that everyone can do this in their own city. No parks or special ramps needed. Pure street skating :)
For what it's worth this edit is one of my favorite skate vids of all time.
One of the most creative skaters to date. Truly can turn any canvas into art
Gets me so hyped every time I watch it!
God damn Mike Valley you make Street plant look like freaking gods
FUCK YES!!! so inspiring, i love the fact that not one rail or one flip trip is thrown. #keepinitOG
Best style ever! asemove filming and edit too!
This needs more views

Pure aggression
Fun skating. Makes me want to get a board again and just have more fun

I don't know where he gets all that energy from! When I see current videos of him skating, he looks so athletic and agile. He must be super fit.
no flippy take twenty tries hand rail tech bullshit. just more stylish. to be honest....street skating is getting stale to watch. its all super hard tech stuff. gnarly at first....getting old. this is more my style.
Agreed, I admire the struggle to get those tricks and how hard it is to battle with them. LIke you said tho, gets repetitive.
I agree. Street League stuff is cool for sure but gets old this style is just pure. All attitude. Its true punk rock skating.
Its so fun to watch because he's just having fun. There aren't really any mistakes, just pushing and going with it. That's why skaters like him are just rad to watch. They all push so fast and hard and show that they love every minute of it.
Every mike v video has comments from purists complaining about tech skating.. what is up with that
same here basically street surfing all style less tech is always better
What happen to him? This is the first time I see him with a helmet!!
drtfzughj
bomm
Oh he selling helmets now?
You're the best skater 2nd to Tony hawk
seems like he plays his own role.Acting like an oldschool surf dude and shit.And what's with the helmet???I miis the old version of him.
marc bascougnano he realized safety is important and a lot of kids look up to him so he wants to change the culture of skating. Hard to skate with a broken skull.
