Mike Mo Reviews His Battle With Eric Koston!

[@johnb9523]

all jokes aside, its great to see Mike Mo skating again

[@johngrimble3050]

Also love how Tommy To was birthed from the shadows, and he's on track to play Koston in the next round 🤣

[@RandyTwang]

I'm always happy to see him skating but I don't think he's skating any more than he ever has since his injury unfortunately.

[@RandyTwang]

I take back what I said, his attitude towards skating seems a lot more positive which is great to hear.

[@i_have_a_coat]

@@RandyTwang Yeah if you go off what he said int he deathblow video it was almost depressing, the first 2.5 minutes of this video though maybe me happy hearing he is enjoying it again.

[@cali_livin6793]

I think he only skates when he feels like it

[@s-online307]

fuckin love mike mo. hope he keeps skating now that he's having fun again. need more mo footage for years to come

[@gandhimahatma3304]

I don’t think we’ll see anything but flatground from him. I’m still ok with that though

[@modest1989]

@@gandhimahatma3304 i think you are underestimating how beast some humans are. People are just built different sometimes and I think he might be one of those people. We'll see though

[@i_have_a_coat]

Love to hear that he not only enjoyed this, but is able to enjoy skating again. That berrics interview pregame was so depressing, this really cheered me up though.

[@aaronescobar6710]

I smiled when he said “And I’m skating tomorrow!”

[@dstr3ss]

It's definitely one of the best game of skate in a long time. They really were having fun and hearing from Mike that's he got hyped to skate again Is incredible news, he have still so much to give to this sport... Great to see him BACK!

[@alicecaraballo3910]

Every time I hear Mike Mo speak, my heart smiles. So happy to see him doing what he loves ❤

[@JoeMACofNAC]

Hearing Mike Mo talk about skating kind of makes me want to cry. I’m glad he can enjoy it again.

[@myactualfullname]

Honestly so sick to hear Mike Mo talking about enjoying being on a board. I remember an older nine club interview where he just said that it straight up didn't feel good anymore, and I'm hyped to hear that he knows now that it can still feel good for him. We love you Mike!

[@aaronwebber523]

It's great to hear Mike Mo is feeling good on a board again. Now let's see that nollie impossible late flip! 😎

[@Capitan_Chaos]

Can we get you guys to interview Tommy To, too?

[@fizzysh4rk]

this!

[@Juliano_DJOL]

MORE MIKE MO! Glad he is feeling it again! We welcome him anytime!

[@Juliano_DJOL]

This was a good example of having fun skating and good to see Mike killing it and koston still killing it!

[@ronniecreager2585]

Dude can still skate harrrrrrrd. When he described his skating the one episode it made it sound like he would look visibly bad. He was still awesome! Glad for him it was an incredible game of skate. Thank you

[@doclime4792]

It's him comparing himself to the level he was at. Which was one of the best skaters around. I watched his parts in high school and he changed a lot of the way people skate nowadays. To go from a major influence on everybody and their brother to not being able to be that guy was understandably deveadting because he had worked so hard. That being said no one stays at the top forever and I think he handled his injury well but now I think it's better that he's opening up to skating again even if it's not at the level he was at.

[@honestbuiltperformance1819]

@@doclime4792 he invented one or two tricks, and landed multiple combinations no one had ever attempted before as far as like switch kickflip bs smith switch tre out etc, he was one of the best street skaters of our generation. its fucking awesome to see he can still skate even if its just flat.

[@anthonyskates9079]

Seeing his love for skating starting to come back really makes me appreciate skating and feel super grateful.

[@renojunes4445]

There was a whole era of skating I missed when I quit skating. I wish I would of seen Mike Mo on his come up. I’m glad to be back and playing catch zip.

[@efil4zaggin666]

People who started skating a few years after Fully Flared have looked at me funny when I've said Mike Mo was THE young child prodigy and the hottest thing in skating for a time, these kids don't know what that was like...

[@Hollywood42081]

Mike Mo was an absolute beast back in his prime

[@FingerBrokenBranches]

Yup I quit skating around 2006, right before Fully Flared. I remember hearing the name Mike Mo being said around my old skater friends and thought he was a Houston rapper. Now back in skating and feel like an idiot.

[@bandotzzZ]

@@FingerBrokenBranches same here. quit skating in 2003, and get back into it just a month ago. started to watch all these clips and amaze on how good mike mo was

[@5ylan]

Would be so dope to see koston on

[@bovedli]

I can fuckin relate. Skateboarding was my love for 15 years and then the shitstorm began when I developed bipolar disorder. Like a very heavy version of it. In the depression phase I literally have no energy to do anything. And then the manic phase is just too much to concentrate on skating. Not to mention I Gained like 50 pounds due to the meds. I try skating here and there but the exhaustion comes instantly. It fuckin sucks that I stopped skating. I never wanted to stop. :( don’t take skating for granted my dudes. Do it while you can, put your heart into it and enjoy it. Because for whatever reason it can go away. And it’s really sad.

[@carolynberge2919]

Give yourself time, my dude. I'm Bipolar I too and know first hand that it can take years to find a path through. I still have bad depressions and unfortunate manic cycles, but I've mostly learned how to make my way on the daily. Keep some hope in your heart for skating. I was an armchair skate nerd for years, with no hopes of ever actually getting on a board. Finally last spring, during the worst of the Covid winter, a touch of mixed state led me to say fuck it, and at age 45, in the worst shape of my life, I bought myself my first board and never looked back. I'll never be brilliant, but when I'm crawling the walls and pissed at the world, I can now grab my board and go lose myself in trying to progress. And that is EVERYTHING to me. Skateboarding will always be there waiting for you, whenever you come to a place where you can start again. And I truly believe that time will come. Keep your head up, brother. Better days are still coming

[@JeffHeil-rh4ph]

For real it doesn't matter if your not the skater you once were, injury,aging, retirement is all a natural part of skating, wether Mike Mo or Mark Suiciu skating at that high of a level always brings forth a very serious potential for career ending injury session after session. You climbed that mountain, already conquered the world of skating at one point and just having you back as a part of skateboarding as an elder statesman or ambassador of sorts is fucking the raddest thing ever, I'm a 41 year old heroin junkie and you have motivated me to get clean and start skating again, you made me realize that I don't have to do big sets of stairs, rails, super insane tech to enjoy it, just being able to still roll around and bust some flat ground and skate small curbs is just as rewarding to me as what accomplishments I achieved when I was younger. I was never sponsored or even close but I could kick flip most and set of stairs up to 6 that I came across and could do about any flip trick variation there is and was considered damn good in the town I grew up in, let's say at my peak I climbed to the top of a sleding hill, well you climbed K2 backwards and blindfolded, I'm sure you got some damn good memories and I wish I could reminisce about how damn good it felt to do and land some of the iconic tricks you have done, skateboarding needs you like a duck needs water so Keep on the journey your on and keep these nine club appearances up

[@skate_health7319]

I feel Mike, my body gets all blown out daily. I’ve quit skating in my head so many times , and then you do one trick that feels good and back in .

[@siik]

jeron is so dope to be supportive like that, no pressure.

[@ogsxl]

happy to hear mike say these things, hope you keep skating!

[@MisterIkkus]

So so great to hear Mike Mo's havin' fun skatin' again. Hope it keeps being fun, love to see it!

[@ashleighsbigworld]

“its literally just an impossible “

[@DeftilSteve]

great to see how stoked mike mo was about this game. good for him. hope he keeps feeling good on his board and continues to skate.

[@Since710]

mike mo criticizing himself is fucking hilarious

[@armin38822]

Mike Mo is one of the greats. Kids don't even know. I see so many people landing everything so clean on instagram but Mike Mo was one of the first people who would land clean the most insane tech stuff.

[@dickclark6252]

U say kids dont know when u have a pikachu asa profile pic lol whose the kid now?

Its crazy to think Mo wouldn't wanna skate ever again, guy was top tier

So psyched he's skating and enjoying it again!

[@theoamentas12345]

such an Important game, so glad mike mo is feeling good about skating again

[@omgvague]

Can't wait to see that nollie impossible late flip

[@CreamAle]

6:45 this is exactly why Pilates is HUGE for anyone that needs muscle control. whether it be boarding, dancing, drumming, running, climbing.. whatever it is, pilates gives you so much core strength and fine muscle control all whilst using muscles you never you even had. ignore that "that's a karen's/soccer mom's exercise" outlook folks have on pilates, because it will drastically increase your own body control. and btw, it's fucking difficult as hell.

[@420247milo]

Y'all are seriously the best. The beast 😂

[@robertblackmore703]

Mike Mo can skate again. We have all somehow been shunted into the multiverse timeline where things get better. Glorious.

[@FALL-LAFF-7477]

For his case, without high expectations, he'll be fine skating that way. God, I love how Mo now feelin' good.

[@bepeez3246]

I would love to see that Nollie impossible late flip though

[@efil4zaggin666]

When he said its happening I got really stoked

Golfing definitely helps skating. It helps with balance shoulder turn and rhythm. When I skate before I golf my game is so much better.

Mike Mo for daysss

[@cameronjames2805]

Fuck it was so nice to hear that he is starting to enjoy skating again! Got me a bit emotional stillll

[@Huntrea9]

Mike mo is back 🙌

[@andrescientos]

Mostly everyone from Koston's era has the HALF CAB FLIP, and probably exactly like that 3:36

[@jeffli480]

Can totally relate to that moment at end when Steezus reminisces about the past and realizes how much time has passed and how much shit changes :/

[@outonbail355]

That was a siick game to watch, seeing Mo skate especially against koston, I think skateboarding took a loss when we heard about the injury, but back on the board Mo, Tom To? I don’t know your a legend. Does Erics son skate? Off his judging I think so, look out young kids

[@jamestown6966]

Skateboarding misses Mike mo 🥲

[@PauloRoque360]

Legend 🙏

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

I was a bit tired of him winning every game of SKATE and getting all the well deserved hype...now I'd kill for him to be back the way he was. I do hope he eventually skates because he loves it. I'm sure it's hard for him because even though a lot of us wanted to be pro, it came true for him and can't handle not skating to the potential he had

[@jamesbenton4123]

Well played cliffhanger good sir 😆

[@BAGAKOOS]

So did Mike mo basically have to retire after his golf cart injury a while back? i dont follow the skate world as much as i used to, but i do remember how awesome he was back in the day.

[@mckenziecerny78]

Mike Mo has TMS with his back, Mike look up John Sarno and Howard Stern. Won't help your ankle but your back will be better

[@JilesRyan]

Mike has to stop being so hard on himself. He’s beyond talented and not one person gives a damn what he does with skating at this point. But skateboarding needs this dude. I’d be so shattered if he never stepped foot on a board again. Everyone deserves to just love skating regardless of their ability or what ever the case be. Hope he keeps his head up.

[@wydnoob5974]

All I can think about is all the amazing skating mikemo would’ve done if he never got hurt man…..

fuck yeah mike Mo!

Get tommy to on the next experience

[@dgw4erhouse]

Can nine club do the battle talk! Crob and Mike mo!!!

[@bewatermyfriend7355]

it's a good thing not to have expectations... just do what you can and see what happens. He should stretch and do exercises tho. That might help a lot. Great dude...

[@freevvvssss]

One minute!! Damn it!!!

[@joshuawahl290]

I always wonder if it wouldn’t be easier for mike mo to learn to skate switch do to his ankle. Since his flip foot is jank it wouldn’t have to do as much popping?

[@kudzmuti6682]

The longest competition ever. Dunno why though.

Don't know if he tried it, but if he weight trains and stretches, should keep the hip and back issues from screwing with him so much.

Bet if Mike stops drinking starts stretching starts basic PT to strengthen core muscles and those random muscles that never get used. Plus hot and cold therapy he could skate another decade without any basic injury’s.
