Lot going on in the world of Mike V looks like his feet are firmly planted on the [DIY] side of the fence, I for one am stoked for him.
“By The Sword is an act of necessity. I’m going into the garage and I’m doing it my way and I’m not asking for anyone’s permission. Corporate Skateboarding sucks. It sucks because it’s soulless. See, I still love and value skateboarding and know it to be a profound and sacred experience. I’ve always been about this as a professional skateboarder but I’ve also always had to navigate my way through sponsorship deals that haven’t always lined up with who I am and what I represent. Those days are over. Win, lose or draw I’m doing what I’m doing for fun, so really, I can’t lose.”
– Mike V
Looks like the revolution has just been kicked up a notch…. Onto the battlefield- let the combat commence.
Coolness

PS: A little slow lately I have been on a bit of a tour myself.
