Mandel and I went to Las Vegas this past weekend and it’s hard to pass by Primm, NV and not take a ride on Desperado.
According to the roller coaster database, Desperado is one of the tallest roller coasters in the world with a 70-degree, 225 foot drop; a 209 foot lift hill; and top speeds around 80 mph. On the 2 minute, 43 second ride, riders will experience almost 4 Gs. A portion of the ride runs through the interior of the Buffalo Bill Hotel & Casino. This roller coaster was listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s tallest roller coaster in 1996.

World famous blogger, Captain Soncho misses getting a shot of Mike V at the Jokers Pool.

I somehow ended up with a starring role in the 6/14/2010 (9th one) episode of Mondays With Mike V. Enjoy.
Alternate angles of some of the tricks from Mike V’s “Bangin!” segment from The Berrics. I filmed this with my Canon Powershot pocket camera and choose a more raw edit for that “behind the scenes” feel. Enjoy.
In March 2010, Mike Vallely traveled to six Zumiez stores for meet and greets and record breaking crowds showed up to meet him. Here is some video and photos from the trip.
