Mike V Gives Element The Sword

By: Tom Morin



Straight from the Sh-tter, I mean Twitter, Mike V tweated, or twit, or whatever were calling it that he has left Element to start his own "independent" skateboard company, By The Sword Skateboards. This comes just weeks after he announced he is going to try out professional hockey, so I guess he's also going to try out the business world as well. This guy has his hands in everything; he's in a band, he's a professional skateboarder, a professional hockey player, a motivational speaker, and by the way I went to one of his spoken words things when I was like 12. Does anyone remember those? He used to talk of "dookie in the eye," and that's what made him good at skateboarding, or something. Anyway, and now he owns a company.

It's funny, because my boss told me the other day that I have to start doing the Twitter thing because stories are broke there now. Sure enough, I guess he was right, so if you want to follow me on Twitter click here and search for MORINformed.

PS, I'm just getting started and I don't have that many followers so don't judge me, even Jesus didn't have that many followers when he started doing his thing, and now look at him.

PPS, I swear I won't brainwash you to kill any actresses or anything.

Street League 2012: Nyjah Huston Wins Kansas City... Again

Street League's instant scoring allowed for the possibility of pressure-packed moments, but very few times did the skateboarders deliver

The 2012 Street League season kicked off in Kansas City this past weekend as it did last year-- with skateboard technician Nyjah Huston taking home $150,000. Huston's ability to land difficult and technical tricks consistently makes him almost unbeatable in the current Street League format.

"It was a hard one tonight, that's for sure!" said Nyjah. "I definitely had to work for it. I love the challenge, though, and to skate with these guys is great."

Street League..
