Powell Peralta Mike Vallely Lightning Bolt Gold Foil 8.5

Throughout the mid-to-late 90’s and into the 2000’s, as the popularity of skateboarding grew, Mike toured relentlessly. From parking lots to skate shops, from backyard ramps to skate parks, from city streets to shopping malls—Vallely’s passion and drive to welcome young people all over the world into skateboarding, and to share all that he had learned goes unmatched. His “never give up” message of individuality and self-expression is woven into the very fabric of the sport. Through it all, the Lightning Bolt has become as iconic and as meaningful to skateboarding and skateboarders as Vallely’s Elephant graphic from the 80’s.
