Mike Vallely (/ˈ v æ l ə l iː / VAL -ə-lee; born June 29, 1970), also known as Mike V, is an American professional skateboarder, musician, actor, television personality, stuntman, and FHL hockey player. Since November 2013, Vallely has been the lead singer of the hardcore punk band, Black Flag.
Thrasher Magazine photographed Vallely performing in the handplant circle, one of the photographs appearing on the cover of magazine’s August 1986 issue. In July 1986, Vallely’s new sponsor flew him to California to compete at the “Street Attack” contest, in Oceanside, California. Vallely won the amateur division, which led to a full-page spread in Transworld Skateboarding’s September issue. Also in 1986, Vallely appeared in the third Powell-Peralta video, The Search for Animal Chin, which was released in 1987. Later that year, Vallely became a professional skateboarder at a vert contest in Toronto, Canada on May 31, 1987.
At the age of seventeen, Vallely watched a television program about endangered African elephants which impacted and made him reflect on the harm that humans do to other species. This led him to become a vegetarian and subsequently vegan. His 1988 debut skateboard model had an African elephant as the artwork, because he wanted “to remind people” of them. His third signature model skateboard, 1989’s “The Barnyard”, had emblazoned the words “Please Don’t Eat My Friends” and was one of the firsts models that promoted vegetarianism. Vallely’s vocal opinions on this subject were typically met with derision by both skaters and promoters. In 1999, he and his family abandoned this lifestyle. He later stated that this decision was partly due to compromising himself to please his sponsors and that he felt “lost” for the next fifteen years.
