I’ve literally been offline for close to a year now and as much as I needed the break, I’m glad to be back. My foolish yet trustworthy assistant, Mr. Larry Ransom has been called back up to the major leagues to assist me in propagating all things Mike V and I’m glad to have him back in the mix. These are exciting times for me and I’m glad to be back online and to have this forum to share with you everything that I have going on.

If you haven’t already, check out this video I recently made at the soon to be rendered unskatable Brooklyn Banks. This is a landmark skateboard spot and one that really played a major role in my development as a skateboarder. Also, while in NYC I stopped by Google for a meeting and had some fun ollieing over YouTube employee George Strompolos.

Speaking of YouTube, my channel is back up and running and according to the good folks at YouTube all of my old videos should be back up and viewable soon. If not, we will re-upload them ASAP for your viewing pleasure. Alternatively, I do have quite a few of my older videos viewable right now on my Shred Or Die page.

I’m also on Facebook and Twitter… add me as a friend now or start following… I’m trying to be as accessible as possible and Facebook and Twitter are two places where I am having a ton of interaction with folks. I’m also back on Myspace as well.

But as much as I’m active on the social networking sites, this new website truly is home base and I hope to make it as interactive as possible. I encourage you to leave comments on the blog and ask questions, I will always respond. I plan on really making this a place where we can dialogue and interact.

Speaking of interaction… We have started a new Mike V Fan Club and I encourage you to join. Membership will definitely have it’s privileges in the form of VIP treatment for members at any and all of my official appearances. You know that I have always valued my fans… this is a way for me to really take that relationship to the next level. The Fan Club is something we really plan on building up and doing cool things with. Your membership will be greatly valued by me.

The Mike V “Do Or Die” iPhone and iPod Touch application game should be available for download before the end of this month. We will keep you updated on it’s progress right here. The game looks amazing and the gameplay itself is second to none. I think you’re all gonna’ be blown away by the quality of this thing. If you don’t have an iPhone or an iPod Touch it may be time to upgrade.

That’s it for now. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to bookmark this new site. Your continued support means everything to me.

Thank you.

– Mike V
