Airwalk: Mike V to Compete This Summer!
20-06-2011Home
At 41, Mike V will reenter the world of competitive skateboarding this summer with scheduled appearances at contests in Italy, England and Prague. As a street skater, Mike's reentry into the competitive arena at his age is unprecedented. Says Mike V: "Competitive skateboarding, although never my forte or where I chose to put the emphasis in my career, has been something I actually have always valued. I think my stance on contests has been misinterpreted through the years as I've purposely moved away from them. But as a skater who still strives to push himself, I see the competitive arena as a place where I would like to return again for myself individually and also where I feel I can once again add something to the story and where I feel I can still contribute. With that being said, I'm really looking forward to getting overseas and making the rounds again, it's been a long time."
