a year agoThey say your life is defined by the company you keep! And I 💯 percent believe that, so choose your company wisely! My life was greatly altered in the most positive ways when I met @mikevallely at the age of 14. • Our friendship developed as I dealt with High School life and Mike gained popularity as a successful Pro skater right in front of my eyes. I learned so much from his unspoken leadership. • After that 3pm school bell rang, countless times I jumped on the train from Metuchen, one stop south to Edison and skated a mile or two to Mike’s house so we could go skating. From there we’d skate another mile or two back in the same direction to the Pathmark grocery store lot pictured here, the Noside (Edison backwards) banks pictured in the third photo, or push even more miles up the road to New Brunswick and Rutgers campus. • I had no one else in my life that dedicated to skateboarding. We didn’t drink, we didn’t smoke weed, we didn’t even chase girls. Every once in awhile someone would wrongly judge Mike by his shaved head and cargo pants, and then they’d pan over to me. He was nothing about that type of ignorance. • Life was 100% about skateboarding. We were laser focused and committed, and I owe so much of my skill set to Mike. He was/is like a brother to me. I learned how to toughen up and do tours with 30 demos in 31 days. Skate, drive, occasionally pull over for a hotel stop, rinse and repeat. • It took years for that skill set to grow and mature from the inspiration I drew from Mike and for me to develop into life as a Pro myself, and also what I’d eventually be able to channel into @stereoskateboards. But Mike was definitely a guiding light for what was to come. • We traveled the country a few times together and Mike’s relentless spirit continues, just look at his tour schedule with @blackflagband, it’s unbelievable. We don’t speak that often but nothing has changed a bit over the years when we do catch up. Your probably too busy to see or read this but love you Mike! 🙌🏽 Thank you so much for being such a great mentor. 🔥🖤🔥
