I’ve skated a little, seen a few things and met many different people : I wish more of them were like Mike.
Stay true and keep being an example.
peace.

Mike…im gonna be honest, you are a real big big inspiration for me and my love for skateboarding, I mean you make me love skate every day a little bit more.
i really consider you like some kind of skate “guru”. Your way of looking skateboarding in a different way really matches with me.
hope you keep on skating and influencing people for ever.
My kids grow so much through skating. I’m so grateful for this great pursuit. Thank you for inspiring them Mike. My oldest son really digs your philosophy and has adopted it for himself and is taking it to heart. He’s a skater for life. As a thank you, I’m going to whip up a poem. You’re free to use it as you like Mike. Thank you.

Frustration fear and doubt, they fear, they’ll never be able to do it
Persistence, passion and courage they hear, are the keys to getting through it
Thousands of reps, day after day, and soon they’ll find some poise
The scars, bruises, laughs and tears are shaping girls and boys
Triumphs and trophies the tricks are to them, but there’s so much more to see:
Every kid who loves to skate is learning what a man or woman should be.

On a side note, I can’t order seasons of Drive on Amazon from here in Canada. Is there somewhere else I can buy seasons 1-3? I’d really like to buy them.
Thanks Mike. We hope to eventually package all the seasons of DRIVE on a DVD and make them all available for download around the world… stay tuned. Thanks.
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. - Transworld Skateboarding Magazine
Kids and adults alike can learn a lot from Mike V.
He speaks from the heart and has a positive message.
