Mike Vallely
'Twenty-One Years'

SK8TER OF THE MONTH - MIKE VALLELY!

Mike Vallely
(AKA Mike V) is a professional skateboarder, musician, TV personality (DRIVE on Fuel TV), stuntman and actor. He has a reputation for being the ultimate hard guy after being caught on video taking on and beating up four guys single handedly in a street fight. But the tough guy is also known for having a big heart. He has involved himself in many charities and has worked extensively with young people, inspiring and empowering them to be individuals and to positively and creatively express themselves. He is a hero and a legend to fans young and old alike all over the world. Born and raised in Edison, New Jersey, Mike made a name for himself in 1986 when he was discovered by skateboarding legends Stacy Peralta and Lance Mountain while skateboarding in a parking lot in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The first east coast based street-skater to emerge on the scene, Mike became an overnight sensation in the skateboarding world and has remained one of its most influential and important professionals over the past twenty-two years and counting. Mike is also the vocalist for the kick-ass, hard rocking band Revolution Mother formed in 2005. Previously Mike sang for the hardcore outfit Mike V and the Rats and he was a guest vocalist in the Black Flag reunion shows at the Hollywood Palladium in 2003. After touring with bands like Bad Religion and Tiger Army as well as playing on the past two Warped Tours, Revolution Mother have fine tuned their sound and live show and continue to do damage to the music scene with their own brand of pissed off rock and roll. Passionate, articulate, intensified and energized like no other, Mike V has always walked unwavering to the beat of his own drum. He has pursued everything from professional wrestling to writing and self-publishing poetry and has done it all with his own unique and aggressive style. An outlaw, a daredevil, a poet and a family man; Mike V has somehow blended all of his interests and passions into one on-going celebration of life and living, inspiring generation after generation.

Pro Of The Week! Skater Bio 1.

RYAN SHECKLER
Ryan Sheckler, pro skater. This kid's gonna show the legends who's boss. And it's already begun.
Sheckler was born in San Clemente, California. At the age of 18 months, Sheckler found his dad's old school skateboard. Sheckler taught himself to push it around by using one knee, and eventually stood up on the skateboard. Since the age of 6, he spent up to 22 hours a week practicing tricks in his backyard - which includes a half pipe, table tops and several grind rails. He developed his own trick called the Sheck-lair - an indy kickflip flyout.
He turned professional in 2003 after winning in the X Games, Gravity Games, Vans Triple Crown and Slam City Jam.
Sheckler's career took shape during the summer of 1995, when Sheckler's dad built a new quarter pipe along with a few other additions making it a small skate park. A few years later, he joined the CASL (California Amateur Skateboarding League) and entered one of their contests and won. He idolized Tony Hawk and wanted to invite him to his seventh birthday party. Hawk attended the party and took some time to practice with Sheckler. During 1997-2001 Sheckler was winning the CASL state championships, where he picked up his first eye wear sponsor, Arnette, the same company sponsoring Tony Hawk. In 2004 he was named the World Cup of Skateboarding’s National Street Champion. In 2005, he was named the World Cup of Skateboarding’s National Street Champion and the AST Dew Tour Athlete of the Year. For 2006, he won the Global Assault in Australia and finished fifth at the Tampa Pro in Florida. Sheckler has had roles in the movies Grind, Dishdogz, and MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate, and stars in his own MTV reality show "Life of Ryan".
Ryan is sponsored by Etnies Shoes, Bones Wheels, FKD Bearings, Silver Trucks, Mob Griptape, Nixon Watches, Oakley Eyewear, Red Bull, Volcom Stone Clothing, Panasonic, Amp'd Mobile and CCS. He rides for Plan B Skateboards.
