(9:03) 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 non other than Mr. Larry Ransom. This is not the end of anything, only the beginning. People ask me when I'll retire, the answer is: Never! I will be out here on the front lines doing what I do, being who I am, skating and rocking until they outline me in chalk; that is what professional skateboarding is all about. Twenty one years down and a lifetime to go... Young At Heart and doing it My Way... always... -- Mike V < less

(18:12) Inspired by Dogtown and Z-boys, a group of teenagers, on a fateful Christmas vacation, set out to change the world. They changed nothing. Icetown and M-boys takes you deep into the hills of Southern California, to experience an extreme sport that should never have been born. Armed with a healthy case of boredom, and absolutely no talent, The M-boys achieved what few others do: complete and total anonymity. < less

(6:07) Come along as we follow Mike Vallely, literally the hardest working man in show business, on the Warped Tour with his band Revolution Mother. On tour for 60 days, he plays two shows a day, and then skates a full session on the Warped ramp before packing up and heading for the next city. Then back to reality, we join Mike at home with his family as he decompresses from the tour, and explains what it`s like to have a life where one day you`re a rock star, and the next you`re a responsible father. As Mike likes to say, "Sometimes we rock and sometimes we roll." In this "Firsthand," you`ll witness all that and much, much more. < less
