Bummed to hear this. He has been around for a while so you can see one reason why he's been with many companies

This just means his reissues will go up in value if Mike pulls the plug on production. This is a bonus for the collectors but a bummer for the nostalgic skaters out there (myself included) who want to relive our youth if vicariously through our childhood heroes.

George must be so hard to deal with.

Here are a few sneak peaks, from this powell-peralta fan website, of vallely stuff...Im sure you guys will be thrilled

Not sure if i found out about this site through snb or the skate one forum, some neat pics on it though. I like the GB photo of the powell peralta car.

His Elephant deal will probably be a Powell subsidiary, outside of the Powell-Peralta umbrella.

He should do another season of Drive. I enjoyed that show.

Oh...and running thru graveyards. MAKE IT HAPPEN...AGAIN.

The Powell site says he's asked that they not say what he's planning on doing in the future.

Personally I don't really get it. He hasn't really been skating much in a year since he broke his arm so badly. Lots of posts on his website about his band though. Why not ride for Powell and make some money? I doubt he'll make any money with his own label again unless somebody else is managing the day to day stuff for him.

Ideally this is going to be a kiddy label for him under Skateone. He's good with kids and would hopefully give him a sense of identity as an individual rather than as a member of a team.

Hopefully they don't fold Positv into this label cuz it'll make it seem weaker to me. .... that's of course assuming it's a SOC subsidiary.

Weird that the skateboards in those pics have Independent trucks on 'em. Didn't Mike start skating for some up-start truck company...Tork Trux- had a pro model, I just saw it in the new Thrasher (Jan 2012- KOTR one).

I just googled the website and their site didn't work, but FB did.

Anyway, good luck to Mike on his upcoming ventures.
(I like him. I don't understand some stuff he does, but he lives life the way he sees fit, so be it.)
