"A hundred years from now, Mike Vallely (also known as Mike V) 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." "Over the last twenty some years the name Mike Vallely (also know as Mike V) has come to be associated with an ever-expanding palette of disparate but oddly complementary activities and ideas. Much more than just an explosive, unpredictable skateboarder, Vallely is also a spoken word artist, vocalist, brutal brawler, and most recently- acclaimed television personality (Drive on FuelTV). Married sixteen years and a father of two daughters, Vallely's never slowed down. Imbued with a sense of limitless freedom and a love of responsibility, he attempts to live his life as a creative and energetic role model to millions of skateboarders." -- Transworld Skateboarding Magazine < less
