The Mike Vallely Volume of SkateBook is the 4th of the in progress SkateBook series by publisher Mike Ballard. Each SkateBook peers into a cross section of current and historical happenings in skateboarding that shape the sport. The Mike Vallely chapter explores one of the most explosives relationships in skateboarding modern history. World Industries was at the top of the competition in the early 90s and the relationship between World Industries and Mike Vallely was atomic. Also chapterd is Colin McKay, Pat Duffy, Chany Jeanguenin, and Neal Mims with Peter Smolik and Jake Brown sharing a chapter, the Worst of Lowcard and enjoi goes camping at the Berrics. There are 2 separate art chapters, one was done so by the use of paint on paper, the other used new skateboards ridden by some of the most prominent professionals is the business. The results are beautifully sculpted works of art. Oh I almost forgot, a brief history of fucking awesome with Jason dill and Mike Piscitelli. This is SkateBooks senior effort and it has some f bombs in it. Beware.
