Notable:
Don't look for Mike V at contests. Although he has been a pro for 17 years, he rarely competes, and he hasn't made an appearance at X since '96. Mike has a unique style, and he is considered a rebel even by the skateboarding community. It shows in his skating.

Quote:
Transworld Skateboarding Magazine, online, "A hundred years from now, Mike Vallely will be viewed as one of skateboarding's pioneers. He'll be remembered as a burly, glue-footed, hella-pop artist. An ATV ruler, a poet, and a fighter's fighter. An iconoclast among icons."
