Mike V is such a popular skateboarder because he has such a distinctive skateboarding style and has such a genuine character. Mike V's skateboarding style blends old flatground tricks from the 80's with new age flip tricks as well as grabs and grinds. I think this shows innovation in skateboarding but true loyalty to the past.
Here is a perfect example.
with the perfect contrast of the status quo of modern skateboarding.
This is a video of Mike Mo Capaldi.
Mike V's longevity is not solely due to his skateboarding
skills, because he really is no where near one of the best
skateboarders that there are, he is a character and he is
very genorous with his time and is very down to earth.
