Mike Vallely knows a thing or two about skateboards as he has been riding them professionally for the past 25 years. The skate legend has taken his creative ideas and put them into motion with his new brand, Elephant. He felt that the unique styles of skateboarders needed unique equipment as well. Watch Mike as he takes you through his old school board with a modern mold and see him rip apart the mini ramp at Woodward Tahoe in this Alli Sports Setup.

@rtornellort 8 лет назад

That's because that's what they're for,stability. The popsicle sticks people think of as skateboards today are upsized freestyle decks come up with by Rodney Mullen during his World Industries days. 😆

When I was younger and watching Mike in the 90s I wondered why he wasn't blasting handrails and stair sets like everyone else at the time. 23 years later he is one of the few pros I still remember and admire. I forgot all the handrails and gaps from the magazines, but I vividly remember seeing Mikes handplants on things nobody else was touching.

@radskankingskateboarder6325 9 лет назад

Surprisingly, this skateboard is actually a pretty decent street board. It Kickflips VERY nicely, in my opinion better than the old popsickle stick. I can also get my ollies high enough on flat to be able to do Mute grabs and Indy grabs on it, so it has pretty good Pop. If you can get used to the size of the deck, you can pretty much do just as much on it as you can with a popsickle. Don't be mistaken, it's called the Street Axe for a reason, and it does its job very well. Buy this Deck!

@robfitzpatrick2763 9 лет назад

How tall r u? Because im 13 and i skate a 8.25 and mostly ride bowls and vert but occasionally street that's why I want to get this but the problem is will it be to big for me?? (Shoe size : 9 uk)

@benlilley3792 7 лет назад

Rob Fitzpatrick I'm thirteen as well but I'm a size seven shoes UK and I find that a board as wide as that is very hard to Ollie and kickflip on. if you want a shaped deck I suggest getting a smaller width one around an 8.25

cuatromonster Most of the better Skateshops have them, or can order them for you. They are easy to find online in trusted shops. just search for elephant skateboards. Also Santa Cruz and Powell reissued their most important oldschool Decks and you can buy them for about 50-80dollars.

@adamwatson9214 4 года назад

That double sided deck that Mike showed, I remember that. An older kid that we all looked up to because he was so good, plus he was nice to us, he had that. He told us it was the future of skateboarding. I didn't realize it was a Mike Valley board. I've been wanting an 80s fishtail style set up. I may grab one of these. The Caballero reissue looks sweet but the nose is short and flat. I'm digging this shape.

@briangore7265 10 лет назад

I love the retro look with the modern feel. That also looks like it has some serious concave to it. more than your average. Im getting one. not to do street skating with but i think it would be cool to have one you can just have fun with

@kopingkiller 11 лет назад

You are very right. Back in the day when Mike V grew up skating everyone just skated everything. We would skate street then hit up a backyard ramp or ditch or anything we could find to skate. It's more fun than only doing one style. Another good example to watch is Mark Gonzales.

@urwholefamilydied 8 лет назад

Good for you Mike V! Switching up the stale board shape that's been going on for 25 goddamn years. I recently got a vision jinx mini (marty jimenez) which is very similar to your board. Cause it's the mini... not crazy heavy and big like a Gonz or something of that same era... but unlike yours lacks the nose and the h-street hell-concave. Also got some ratbones 60mm softer wheels (85A ?). And because I didn't want the setup to be too heavy chose tensor mag lows with risers. Indy's are a bit heavy for an old school setup... and an old guy. Sick vid. You're still rocking it bro!

@erebus38 10 лет назад

If I could have my choice of shape I would like that double kick tail skate deck that Mike V rode like he showed when he was mentioning the popsickle stick deck because that 80's shape was similar,but not the same due the nose and kicktail being more squared off rather than rounded off. If I could have one of those same shapes that Mike rode in the 80's with an 8 inch width by 31.75 inch length with that more squared off nose and kicktail,I would buy it in an instant! I remember Mike V's final part from that old Santa Cruz video at the end as the last skater and fell in love with that deck he was riding.

The first company to come out with a commercially available double-tail board was World Industries - Mike V was involved with them in 1989 after he left Powell-Peralta. This ultimately became the industry-standard shape and the first board to be commercially released on this design was Mike V's deck with World Industries. Hope this helps, buddy :)
