How Mike Vallely Got Sponsored By Powell Peralta

[@JoeKyser]

I started skating in 1987 and Mike was the hot deal. Everyone talked about him. I was from South Jersey. Maybe that made a difference bit as a kid I totally remember him. He was the cool kid haha. I wanted to be Mike though. I really did. Its amazing to see him today.

A convo between Rollins and Mike V would never end.

[@Andrew-hx1rd]

Such a beautiful story from one of my heroes growing up. Thank you so much for this interview @TheNineClubHighlights

[@tyylurr]

Lmao the highlight of this episode would be an hour

[@dunnright00]

Ha, I just watched the Lance Mountain "highlight". *Me* - Lol, a half hour highlight... *Mike V* - Hold my (non-alcoholic) Beer

[@AnttiBrax]

33:30 Ok, let me get this straight: You're skating with your crew in Virginia beach and Lance Mountain drives up and says "Do you know this guy, I need to find him. Hop in and show me where he skated." Then he goes on and on about how Neil Blender was soo stoked until you finally find him and proceed to witness the events described in the video... Cell phones have made life so boring.

[@Sillypond]

Cell phones didn’t make life boring you’re just boring.

This guys life is the plot to any tony hawks pro skater in career mode

[@diymatt]

I wonder if Chris has a clip of him saying "there you go" on his StreamDeck and accidentally leaned on it the entire episode.

[@Noticerofthings]

I saw him skate at 3rd Lair skatepark in minneapolis around 2002ish

[@NB-cg3pc]

Yes yes yes Mike V.. Can you guys please do a Matt Hensley sit down on the Nine club?

[@shitbox_diaries8689]

Dudes rad, and he’s cool with rollerblading 🤘🏼

[@marcp3788]

I started skateboarding again after 19 years after watching this powerful podcast

[@Phlakaton88]

That Rollins story is so money... hell yeah.

[@rocknrollsnaggletooth]

I remember meeting Mike when I was 12

[@rocknrollsnaggletooth]

Marq Pretty great experience I was at Woodward at the time

[@euminkong]

@@rocknrollsnaggletooth when west didnt exist

[@rocknrollsnaggletooth]

@@euminkong I think Did exist because I went there in 2012 and I think Woodward West was about to be started either that year or year before I’m not particularly sure but I saw Mike there and it was awesome I played a game of skate with him and I won

[@don_flamenco]

Best part of the episode

[@cleepatron8billion210]

Well that was a long explanation

[@AnttiBrax]

TLDR: "Stacy Peralta saw me skate and offered me sponsorship."
