[@jamielodgehotel19]

I sense Berra had a few cold ones before this

[@einsikallin]

Or a short fat one ;)

[@chadmuskaa2806]

A few?? He was drinking and smoking ALL day! +)

[@sashagrey69]

haha he's straight edge. There's even an interview online. He's just naturally crazy

[@Sk8erkyle]

4:15 definitely

[@kickflipkane6666]

These were the days when the vibe was so fun to watch

[@pancakesafterdark3335]

I remember when Mike V premiered Drive in San Jose. He asked me to take tickets for him, at the end he hooked it up with an autographed VHS copy. After the movie he asked to use my board, but once he stood on it the trucks were a little too tight so he used someone else's board and busted out a raw ass demo. He taught a few of us how to pop the board up and balance it on our foot. Good times

[@pancakesafterdark3335]

that was back when there was a GoSkate on Almaden Expressway. What ever happened to Dale The Dad?

[@SharkCityGuerilla]

Dr. Kekenheimer i live in sj too!

[@stamas626]

Nice! I meet him at the Drive Premier in Arizona so must have been around the same time. Awesome dude! He spoke and had a Q & A and anyone that thinks he's a prick hasn't been around him.

[@danielbate120]

Berra being loaded seems to have taken the shine of what went down. Backside airwalk down a set of stairs second try is rad. Mike v rules.

[@tips6233]

I'm pretty sure Berra was getting on Mike's nerves.

[@alexerik4933]

jim tom ahahaha he was that one drunken friend

[@TenderloinsToughest]

+jim tom along with everyone else's as well

[@poeticriffraff]

+jj you're a piece of shit Mike V is a legend and one of the nicest dudes you'll ever meet.

[@TenderloinsToughest]

Poeticriffraff er I was going to say the same thing. He has a hard ass reputation but in reality he's a solid ass dude. A skater's skater.

[@poeticriffraff]

Paul Lukes Usually when he was fighting it was to stick for one of his comrades agaisnt piece of shit security so his violence wasn't random and it usually was justified. He's calmed down alot too in the last decade

[@502jackal]

walk in, fuck shit up, walk out

[@wesharding2469]

Berra sounds LOADED!

[@mikeshuttleworth5198]

Is that Berra in he hat? Damn he's being awkward in this one. Drunk?

[@richard0moss]

i kno wtf

[@nottombender3546]

awkward high five from berra at 4:50

[@Core_Four]

on the behalf of annoying drunks everywhere i apologize for berra

[@big3ye378]

He is a scientologist bro... who knows what they've done to him?

[@TenderloinsToughest]

Do all pros have hummers? Daewon's first try friday he cruises up in one too.

[@LoupiOlorel]

+Paul Lukes yes they do

[@TenderloinsToughest]

sweet...just like every other douche in SoCal. It's the last thing I'd expect from skaters.

[@xLilPuddinTater]

+Paul Lukes you literally named one other person. "daewon and mike vallely have hummers? huh, never knew all skaters have hummers. buncha douches"

[@TenderloinsToughest]

xLilPuddinTater Yeah that was the only one I could think of off top, but I'm sure there's others that I just can't remember. I used to live out there and every idiot and their mom had one of those dumb cars.

[@07Hawkeye]

bam had one for a long ass time

[@raduvalentin8648]

Backside Airwalk..gnarly, has anyone else ever done this?!

[@epicninja300]

Yess its pretty easy

[@Nominay]

Radu Valentin Mullen did it off like a 2 ft drop in 1988. There's a video of it somewhere.

[@raduvalentin8648]

hahaha noicee, its actualy not too bad doing back airwalk out of a pocket to flat

[@raduvalentin8648]

yeah but is it easy down stairs? off a big ramp, counts what obstacle you do it on

[@danielbate120]

Backside airwalk down stairs second try is not easy. Mike v rules.

[@CaseyGray58]

Funny I just watched daewon before this, pulled up in the same hummer

[@EChapstick]

Man that's what I just did... 3 years later haha

[@RainsalotProductions]

seems like berra is quite the fan of mike, couldnt even contain himself around him. i mean, the dude did have a poster of mike on his wall.

[@Rixer07]

Mike has balls going for the air walk first try.

[@toynazi]

Berra is the King KOOK!

[@eZaFJDUBB]

He's a really nice guy he talked to me for like 30 min at a powell demo

[@byteslinger3187]

Did you give him some fanboi head in the bathroom?

[@armin38822]

Out off those 30 minutes,he probably talked about 28 minutes and most off it was about him.

[@SessionSnow]

That back airwalk was sick asfuck 🔥👌🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@DjMrGrimM]

I always feel Vallely should have got in to MMA. Pretty sure he would have went far in it.

[@SpiderMax95]

he used to be a wrestler.

[@Noraa666]

If you've watched him in a fight with anyone that knew what they were doing he gets schooled. His wrestling credentials were a joke as well.

[@big3ye378]

Mike V would take you out in seconds no problem

[@BigDeeIn480p]

Ehhh. Debatable. He has no ground game against someone with experience in jiu jitsu or other forms or martial arts, and his stand up fighting that he said in his own words were "you have to take a punch to give one" meaning you just exchange punches like he does in hockey. Also if you watch his videos of him fighting, he is not very accurate in his shots. He has the mentality, but his skills are not up to par.

[@DjMrGrimM]

Mann.. It never ceases to amaze me how you can say something positive or compliment someone and some male expert has to come along and tell you his expert opinion. And they are always an expert. ALWAYS I have watched MMA since Pancrase and Pride. I am sure you are some bandwagon boy who within the last few years decided to jump on board the UFC boat. Just because you have seen it on TV. Or your little friend pulled you into the trend. When someone has the ability to take on 3 guys and dominate the situation then they obviously have talent. And that is what I was meaning. I never said he was an MMA fighter. Or that he knows diffrent kinds of Martial arts at all. And of course he dose not have Jiu Jitsu or other forms of Martial arts training. Or maybe he dose. We dont really know.That is why he is a profeshional Skateboarder. So STFU with your trying to educate me on the fight game. And what you presume Mike Vallely knows. Why dont you go on BJ Penns FaceBook page with the rest of the Douche Bag experts and educate them about Mike takes the D in 1080p expertise ( )*( ) Because I could give a fuck less about your little debate you want to have.

[@freshANDhesh]

Is Steve on Xanax?

[@sizzurpsteve3807]

yeah, im too.

[@ryancork5281]

If you'd ever been through HORRIBLE benzo withdrawls you wouldn't even Joke about Xanax. One of the few drugs/substances like Alcohol where the withdraw can literally kill you from seizures. Even if you don't bite off your tongue you'll probably wish you where dead.

[@freshANDhesh]

Benzo and alcohol are the only ones that can kill you. I've always been weaned off with librium or ativan to stave off a seizure.

[@ryancork5281]

Christopher Ray That's true........the only substances I know of...surely their are others.....I don't wanna find out. So your a Benzo addict?

[@freshANDhesh]

Over 10 years ago.

[@kevincannon2847]

Sir Paul Stanley and the mighty 1970's KISS in the background!!! No wonder he skated so well ;)

[@johnferreira9857]

I remember about almost 20 years ago Mike V came to Tucson Arizona, my hometown with the Black Label team and Dead Alive demo at our crappy skatepark. It was pretty cool. I snapped my board and half and he looked at me like I was crazy taske to have a board with wheels on it! LOL might be pretty cool one of my old time favorites O G 's. Man we're getting old. I took like a 15-year break from skating when I went through my electrical apprenticeship but I got back on the board at 36 years old. Learning to go vert and dropping in

[@doctorluzbubs258]

Hows the electrical apprenticeship going? You a journey man yet?

[@guacskater7560]

berra just got rejected hahaaa 4:50

[@antoniomendoza931]

Old trick l love it

[@TehMiiRMiiR]

The hummer is a step up from that station wagon

[@kidofkingdomhearts98]

totally heard that zeppelin and kiss, i fucking love it

[@CIWise]

I remember that photo: late '86, School W, Mike had the red Iron Cross Life's A Beach beret; just like Liston says, he was literally kicking himself in the ass (plus the front foot was perfectly straight); he was riding a Welinder street, which was completely vertical, with the tail at least 15 inched off the ground. It's the textbook definition of airwalk on street.

[@kevinbyrne126]

eric koston is the coolest guy ever

[@mfcfbro]

Steve seems like the kinda guy that would pregame meeting up with Mike V by putting down a few Mike's hards. lol

[@ericmedina7798]

NIIIICE!!!!

[@rossheuer7568]

S for Scientology... Right Steve?

[@KidCreepy123]

that was awesome

[@destroythehuman3380]

If the actual reason the world was destroyed was Mike V in his fucking rank I’d actually die happy 😂

[@jelli5121]

4:51 berra missing his high five

[@jacobprice8048]

When Eric pretends like Mike V can't knock him out if he wanted to

[@mahoney1360]

Legend

[@Seamo57]

SO DOPE!!!!! That's a gnarly trick!!!

[@MrMeticulousdetail]

Its like he heard the joke. Lol

[@TheRamonstar666]

i never seen that first trick,that was awesome

[@CT-nb5lm]

Ironic how Mike Valleley was sooo tech back in how world/New Deal days. I like his board control when he skates fast. . . I usually eat it if my trucks aren't loose enough

[@jdh15]

Berra was on one foooooooooor shore

[@petewadesays12]

Steve was mildly annoying But Mike hangs out with Bam, so I'm sure by comparison- WAY better.

[@kaiingoglia3974]

Berra sounds drunk lol

[@MexLuger]

eric is damn funny lol

[@BruceCanales]

Mike V!!! Sick!

[@poeticriffraff]

I searched for video's of Steve Berra getting beat up directly after watching this cringeworthy video... Unfortunately none seem to exist.

[@dougjohnson8193]

Of course Mike would drive a hummer lol

[@Underdog_Basketball]

Now Mike V. sells "sustainable skateboards"... 🤨🤨🤨

[@alexferus1462]

[@BanKsyPhiL]

[@billyz97]

[@brendanfisher]

Is Mike V wearing a retro Manchester United shirt? The black logo looks like the Man United crest.

[@Mtz96]

[@ismashstuffanddoothercrap4872]

69420

[@ExtreamSports]

Berra was wasted for this.

Hope this Kosten character is joking about 'destroying the world' with the car.. he's a fool to believe the UN bullshit. He sounded like the biggest pussy.

[@jacobanthony88]

Vallely circa sometime in the 90's. proceeds to beat the fuck out of 5 dudes at a skate spot then goes back out

[@WhatisAPaladin]

i couldn't watch pass 2 mins, that Berra guy straight up was cringe, felt like he was trying to make it all about him and less about Mike.

[@montanaplease]

Glad to see not all skaters are social justice worriors. Well at least not real men like Mike V and Daewon.

[@Rixer07]

Mike has balls going for the air walk first try.
