Notable:
Mike is one of the OGs of the skateboard scene. He has been on the Vert scene for 13 years, almost always making the final, but never quite breaking through to the podium. He has had better luck at Vert Doubles, however. He holds 2 XG medals, a silver from '97 and a bronze in 2001.

On sponsors dropping teams, "As long as I've been skating, I've been real smart with my money. I've always known it wouldn't last forever. On top of that, I still do demos and tours for the money. I love skating, but if I could, I would stay home and skate. Skating is a job. If you are willing to stay on the road and work, you can make some pretty good money."
