Here is a video I compiled and edited last year for Mike V’s 21st anniversary as a professional skater. Mike turned pro at a vert contest in Toronto, ONT, CAN on May 31, 1987.
He has now been a professional skateboarder for 22 years.
Says Mike: “This video is a random compilation from my twenty four years of skateboarding focusing on my now twenty one year pro career. It was compiled and edited by none other than Mr. Larry Ransom. This is not the end of anything, only the beginning.”
Mike V’s daughter, Lucy Vallely teams up with Professor Paul Schmitt to make her very own pro model skateboard. Watch and learn as the Professor teaches us about the CreateAskate process.
