Mike Vallely

Mike V is a skate rat. Enough said.

Mike Vallely was born in Edison, New Jersey, and attended St. Joesph's High School in Metuchen, New Jersey. He now resides in Long Beach, California. Vallely married his longtime girlfriend Ann in 1992 and in December of that year their daughter Emily was born He has a second daughter Lucy.^[1] Mike Vallely is also known for the fights he gets in, usually with the security guards in the malls and parks on private property. One notable altercation occurred while Vallely and his friends took a break on their way to a skating gig and some guys who were at the same gas station started making fun of Vallely and skaters. That lead Vallely to emphatically take off his shirt and push the antagonists away. The whole incident was recorded by his friend, Bam Margera, and is popularly misrepresented as Vallely actually brawling, when in fact he merely shoved a few people around. Another notable incident where Vallely was involved in an altercation with authority was at a skateboarding competition in Hollywood, which later became popularised as 'The Muska Incident'(known as such due to Chad Muska being the source of the dissent). Despite this, Vallely has openly denounced acts of violence committed by others, although has shown no hesitation to engage in them himself.

Vallely is the singer in the punk rock band Revolution Mother and was also the front man for 'Mike V & the Rats. At one point He sang for Black Flag on their 2003 reunion shows in Los Angeles, playing the entire My War album.
