Discovered at a Virginia Beach contest by Neil Blender and Lance, a young Mike Vallely was asked to join the Powell-Peralta team and quickly rose to fame as a premier street skater. After initially rejecting the Roach graphic, Vallely worked closely with VCJ on an elephant theme. Mike and his elephant deck were both very popular. Mike currently runs Street Plant, a 100% independently owned and operated family business.

- Pretty awesome Review by Jon
It's pretty awesome that Powell & Peralta still makes these old school decks. I skated this one back in the 80s. Bought this one a few weeks ago. The paint job and the graphics look awesome. Wasn't sure if I wanted to skate it use it as a wall hanger. I decided to skate it. I tried putting clear grip tape on it, but, wasn't careful enough about making sure there weren't any air bubbles. I wanted to show off the top graphic which was pretty awesome. Tried peeling back the grip tape and it peeled off some of the paint and ruined the top graphic. Personally, I wouldn't recommend clear grip tape unless you have used it before and are very careful not to get any air bubbles under it when you put it on. I think you are better off using black grip tape and cut around the top graphic. (Posted on 5/14/2022)Rating - Solid Review by Matt

I've been looking forward to skating reissues to get a chance to find what shapes and sizes I really prefer. This Mike V. is a beautiful deck that I can't wait to set it up. I recieved it through prompt shipping and with grip I wasn't expecting to be packaged in! (Posted on 1/28/2022)Rating - Classic Review by Andrew

I was never a huge fan of this graphic, especially the pattern around the elephant. I picked this one up and im glad i did you cant really see the background so it looks like the elephant graphic pops on this colorway! (Posted on 9/23/2021)Rating
