WOW, Mike was so laid back in this. So many videos out there where he is just so fired up and aggressive. This is so interesting seeing him so low key.
@@RandomUA-cam123 I know the videos of him being all fired up are decades old. It was nice to see him so chill now. Nice that he had relaxed and can enjoy life. Being fired up all the time is hard to maintain and no fun. I know...I used to be that way too.
Me and my best friend were fortunate enough to do an episode of Mike's show "Drive" several years ago... he was the best. A truly humble skate rat, and we had a fantastic mini ramp session before we started filming, He's a skater's skater, and a pen pal to this day. Really hyped to see this clip with him and "Negrotaco" showing some NJ pride (I say that as someone from Louisiana who has a lot of pride in our own skate scene). Don't let anyone bullshit you... Mike is stellar on every level. A truly good person, and one of the few skateboarders that can do a demo by himself. Mike is gold.
met him once at the little Vista park in '99; it was sort of a crowded day, but everyone cleared the floor just to see the legend get some in person, almost like a micro-improv demo; and one of those very rare days in Cali where every last person seemed respectful...
I just seem to love Mike more and more as we both get older. Nobody can do a step hop hauling ass like that guy. His public d part still one of my all time favorites, because I’ll never forget how it made me feel when I saw it.
mike VVVVV!!!!!!! what a legand ! i i still have his drive dvds somewhere he is such an inspiration! i watched those vids so many times when i was younger . 9 club soon I hope!
rly hope he gets on nine club jus cus the elephant in the room, at least in my mind, is that he has certainly done some srs energy work since the last time i heard him talk in some online interview years ago. completely unrecognizable person compared to just several years back, if i'm not mistaken. had to have done some real personal work and what a wonderful thing to witness. great job, mike!
It’s crazy. I met Mike at a drop in skatepark nj demo in 02 for the release of Vallely skateboards. His mentality was so much different. But then again he was just featured in cky3 beating up 4 jocks. As well as cky2k, 411vm, his wrestling matches. But seriously though. Super nice dude. Glad he reps the Dirty Jerz.
I skated in the late 80' 90's and I vividly remember seeing the "barnyard" board hanging in my local skate shop in Visalia Ca. (Home of Tom Knox, Paez bros, Karma etc.) Needless to say I bought it and loved it. Was one of the first to start doing the double tail design I believe. Cheers Mike!!
"And now, the one and only, the legend...Mike (get's name wrong)!! I love this guy! Love this guy so much! Woo hoo!" Perfectly executed as always, X games :D
brilliant episode Chris but a simple introduction of the guy in the back seat would have saved him the eternal badge of being 'that weird guy in the back'
Had no idea he had his own company now, Street Plant looks neato. I was just randomly watching his Etnies video the other day for the first time and I was blown away at those crazy moves in his early Powell days....stuff I never got close to even thinking of learning!
He's always posting cool stuff for sale on his instagram and he signs it if you want and a handwritten note comes in the box. It seems like a great little family business.
One of my All time favorite skaters I meant him and got to skate with him at east coast terminal in Binghamton, New York .....great park wish it was still around
This is awesome. I remember the zoo ad maybe 98 or 99 announcing the fence at the banks and I was bummed because I wanted to Ollie it. In hischool we went to nyc on a weekend in 2003 maybe, I remember doing ollies into the fence just to prove to myself that if it wasn't there I could make it. But Mikes,Ollie over the fence made no sense being there in person. Its just not possible!
I've been calling him Mike Valley for 15 years now, even knowing there is that extra L 😅. But watching Mike V made it feel okay for me to be bonelessing down sets and onto rails, so thank you for that 👏❤
i met him when i was 13 in 00' at a stake demo he did at a local shop on a 5 foot mini ramp.. He was one of the most positive people Ive met and was so patient with us 13 year old idiots asking him to do stupid tricks.. he told us to stop paying tony hawk lol
he was my favorite skater for a long time after speed freaks and I owned more of his boards than any other pro, but glad he took he took some humility pills because I thought he became a jackass for some time and regretted owning so many.
Yea he was a G and still is I’m sure. But all skaters back in the day were “badass” (hate that saying). Nobody would want to scrap a group of skaters.. now skaters are mad puss
How can you not love Mike V. I like to see how humble he has become. A true legend. It would be amazing just to cruise the streets with the guy.
I agree I saw some of his earlier fight videos, good to see he's humbled a lot would never guess it's the same guy
GrowingDownUnder he was provoked.
CAN Control heavily
Mike is the reason i do 360 bonus
Mike V. is one of the reasons why I started skateboarding in the first place.
Great video. Thank you!
whenever i need to get pumped up i pull up the video of Mike fighting 4 other dudes by himself. very inspiring. thank you Mike
Mike for me has the purest form of skating, you can tell he’s just having fun and doing what feels natural and innovative.
He’s seems more chill now. What a G. Still wouldn’t want to fight him....
seriously never forget
Only real ones remember the video
He's always been one of my favourites, and it seems like he's in a really good spot atm. Nice.
WOW, Mike was so laid back in this. So many videos out there where he is just so fired up and aggressive. This is so interesting seeing him so low key.
Age has mellowed him - I like him better this way.
Hes actually been laid back for a while now, there is a doc tht is a few yrs old now n he is exactly the same.

He had his own show called drive where he was just like this. Used to love that show

The entire video
“Mike you’re sick,”
“Nah I’m not,”
dude asking questions is a square
@@youtumor360 hes a mega square thats why we need mike on the 9 club
@@youtumor360 dude. Look up Nieratko's interview with Ronnie James Dio. It'll change your mind. hahahahaah

He's so well spoken ! In a Time where we Lost some legends we should cherish those who still here like Mike V . God bless
Legend. Met him once,about 20 years ago,he was so cool to us.
VALLELY!!! THE essence of skateboarding.
Mike is definitely more humble now than what he was in the past. I'm glad he's chill now.
Thanks Mike. .. for everything!

Some well said things in here about skateboarding. Mike V is the man.

this is why we love you, mike!
dude looks hella young for 48! wow
Blind Fox skating keeps you young
@@christophersawyer253 Pretty certain he wasn't a drinker either. Compare someone like him at 48, to someone like Dollin at 38. :/
dude no joke
@@schrotestthehero Dustin looks like he's 68...
I bet he’s closer to 49 than 48
Mike V such a amazing dude! And I had one of the barn yard board in 90s
This was a great watch!
"And now, the one and only, the legend...Mike (get's name wrong)!! I love this guy! Love this guy so much! Woo hoo!"
Perfectly executed as always, X games :D
Haha! yup still people in the industry pronounce his name wrong.
I loved this video thanks for sharing the stories Chris and Mike!
We need hundreds of these
brilliant episode Chris but a simple introduction of the guy in the back seat would have saved him the eternal badge of being 'that weird guy in the back'
that was a cardboard cutout lol
Loll. Guessing its the cameraman.
It was a dummy, a mannequin of sorts...I didn't realize it until halfway into the video.
When mom tells you that you have to take your little brother
It's a doll/mannequin LOL
Mike V was the first pro skater I ever met in CT in 1999 at a demo. I also saw him play a hockey game for the Danbury Whalers.
Had no idea he had his own company now, Street Plant looks neato. I was just randomly watching his Etnies video the other day for the first time and I was blown away at those crazy moves in his early Powell days....stuff I never got close to even thinking of learning!

7th Street School was my baby sitter when I was 12-14 I’m 43 now. The barn yard was my favorite board back then...
Corpse in the back seat
PalenSkate bummed uber rider
for car pool lane? (no idea what cali rulz are, just guessing...
It's the camera man you geniuses
One Punch you sure about that? Bro didn’t move a muscle the whole video
I was thinking "Weekend at Bernies" myself.
This is awesome. I remember the zoo ad maybe 98 or 99 announcing the fence at the banks and I was bummed because I wanted to Ollie it. In hischool we went to nyc on a weekend in 2003 maybe, I remember doing ollies into the fence just to prove to myself that if it wasn't there I could make it. But Mikes,Ollie over the fence made no sense being there in person. Its just not possible!
does this mean he's going to the Nine club soon?
Please yes
good call bro, he actually did.
5hrs.....
@@DemolitionLovers905 it's all worth it
it's literally the best episode and it's 5 hours
OG!
One of my most favorite skaters.
He's so humble
Always has been
Love mike V
Favorite graphics from the first
My second board wa his second board
Digging all the archive footage.
Legend my favorite skater!! Down to earth and straight up! An for the love of Skateboarding..
Was not expecting this !
Love this guy so humble and down to earth
So good.
Ben Rayburn in 30 years, radness.
Best street fight in history!
10:50 Mike V still has the street in his blood its like every move this man does look so badass.
Yeah as someone about his age.... climbing that high of a fence is doable but riskier than skating.
From Killer to Chiller . MikeV
Mike v !!!! Legend 🤘🤘
Had his board as a kid what a skater
Best original skater ever
The real street part was so clean
T-Funk paid tribute to Mike V's indy foot plant(fast plant) in his DC 'Promo' part. Pretty sick.
Mike V the coolest ever. I NEED the lightning bolt deck again, bring it back!!! LOL
God damn people STILL don't know that Vallely is pronounced VAL-UH-LEE not VUH-LAY-LEE
Clockwerk right!!!!
I think it's VAL LA LEE actually
I've been calling him Mike Valley for 15 years now, even knowing there is that extra L 😅. But watching Mike V made it feel okay for me to be bonelessing down sets and onto rails, so thank you for that 👏❤
Legend 🐐
Love you mike

Legend 💯👌❤️☝️
props for the grimaldo duran shoutout
Seems like Mike V got ahold oh some good weed. good for him.
hey Mike V mentions your comment dude ua-cam.com/video/7_KJiwPXPds/v-deo.html
Great content, cool cars
Great human being
Is the guy in the back seat dead?
Sound guy maybe?
I think its a dummy to use the carpool lane
I think it was in another episode. It's a dummy he'll put in the passenger seat to use the carpool lane.
It's Medium Black Bernie.
A clone/distance relative of (the late) Big Black that works for ESPN Security Inc.
😅😂🤣😂🤣😋
The Greatest
he was my favorite skater for a long time after speed freaks and I owned more of his boards than any other pro, but glad he took he took some humility pills because I thought he became a jackass for some time and regretted owning so many.
I still have my original Barnyard. Not that you can tell what board it is/was looking at it. But I know it’s a Barnyard haha.
the most badass skater ever...
solid dude
Dear @xgames I subscribed because of Cris!
Best thing from Jersey the misfits 128
It seems like a lot of pros have collections so you should make a new series called Skaters in garages looking at boards.
Yo b4 the barnyard deck i skated a vision double and everyone laughed at it..
Ayyyyy I went to 7th St school!
How is he not in the wagoneer from Drive?
Lol what's with the maniquin in the back seat? Mike V one of my all time fav skaters.
Motherfucking LEGEND!! jerz reppin.....
Was that a car pool dummy in the back?
Has 7th Street school been in any recent videos?
Man mikey V use to be such a bad ass!
Yea he was a G and still is I’m sure. But all skaters back in the day were “badass” (hate that saying). Nobody would want to scrap a group of skaters.. now skaters are mad puss
CAN Control you nailed it brother! I’m more of a snowboarder myself and a long boarder but back when I was a park rat yeah I remember all to well.
Nice fence!
Host's hair wtf bro...
good ole heinrich himmler haircut
Something happened between him & God. He'll still kick ass if he has to though.
The bmxer was from Jersey to
14 minute episode. 1 spot....
11:46 that's not Chico Brenes 😂
GOD.
Didn't Vallely have that crazy fight that went viral on Kazaa?
Why does mike V look like Seth rogen but way, way, way cooler.
Haha 😂 all love to the legend
Thats a mannequin if you were wondering
