5.0 out of 5 stars Mike V! The one that runs through the graveyard!, September 30, 2005

This review is from: Drive - My Life in Skateboarding (DVD)

This movie defines skating. By who else than Mike (the veteran) Vallely. Im sittin there watching this movie and watching Mike skating spots that aren't that great but im also remembering doing that for years and literally skating a mere bank or parking block for hours on end. Then coming home sweaty or frost bitten (Illinois) and watching skate vids and reading Thrasher or Transworld. I was just so caught up in it that I breathed skating. I must say I kind of lost that motivation somewhere down the line but ive always had a board in case of situations like this. I just got this dvd way late but I gotta say I could use the word "beautiful" to describe it.

The soundtrack, meshes with the skating, which in turn gives a total visual of the message Mikes getting across Which in turn, makes ME wanna go skate.

This review is from: Drive - My Life in Skateboarding (DVD)

This is the greatest skateboarding related video I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot). Not so much for the skating that's in it (which is pretty great), but for the message in it. If you are a skater, were a skater, know a skater and you want to understand it better, get this. Now. No excuses. Mike Vallely is a true ambassador of good will for skateboarding, and this video proves it. If you're dissapointed by this video, then you don't love skateboarding. It was far better than I expected and presents a message that the entire skateboarding community needs to hear. And there is some pretty great skating to go along with it.

This review is from: Drive - My Life in Skateboarding (DVD)

Drive is not only a demonstration of the incredible skating skills of Mike Vallely but an introduction to him as a person. He is a true individual who isn't afraid to speak his mind and be his own person. He refuses to cater to any ideals outside his own. He also comes across as a genuinely nice guy who wants to help others and spread a positive message. He is the real deal and in this video he shows what skating is all about.
