This email and photos from Andre in Canada landed in our inbox today and I thought I would share it with you all…

Imagine any kids surprise when he gets home to find a box in the mail with the sender’s name: Mike Vallely. Well let’s just say I was Bangin! off the wall with an incredible insane feeling of delight. When I had seen the actual board Mike ripped in The Berrics “Bangin!” listed on Mike V’s eBay Store as “Buy Now”, consider it sold! I had been anticipating the package’s arrival and I could never have expected what was to be the most perfect experience any Mike V fan would ever have. I carefully opened the package documenting each moment. I had to take down my McGill deck to make room and hang it on my custom made wall mount. Check out the shot of Mike’s custom grip design next to my custom grip that was airbrushed by my friend Deejay. Thank you Mike V for this feeling of being a kid again!

Your fan,
Andre (Class of ‘89)
