Mike V on the Brooklyn Banks

Im a huge Mike Vallely fan, always have been. Last year I spent the Winter riding through the trees of Stevens Pass crouched low and fast, the same way he rides his decks, trying to learn how to keep everything on a good keel. Its tough riding like that, utilizing muscles that arent normally used but it was rewarding.
Last year Mike V declared he was dropping off the grid, going dark. He killed all of his online presence except Revolution Mother and went comepletely underground, nothing was heard from him in many many months. Then a youtube clip surfaced and then a radio spot and now Im happy to see that his website is back up and running at full steam. Another couple of days of this heavy activity from him and Im throwing him on the feedburner to the right.
Here is his latest YouTube interview, a historical narrative of sorts on the Banks.

welcome back, Mike.

    Due,

    Based on the visuals, I would guess that the Banks are under the Brooklyn Bridge off the Atlantic Avenue overpass. In fact part of the buildings look like they may be the support stanchions for the bridge. I have been inside those and its pretty cool. Indeed parties have been thrown in them.

    Nice to be back in Lorenzo’s old hood.
