Just to update this thread, lol... Vallely has just celebrated one year of Street Plant this month. I think it's safe to say that this company has been a huge success and will be sticking around for a while. He has so far proven the naysayers wrong.
I remember Mike releasing a video celebrating two years of Elephant Brand, then shortly after he sold the company. Who knows with Mike? Powell gave him three chances and he ran and talked trash about them every time.
Loved the "elephant On the Edge" board back in the 89/90 era. World Industries was just starting show up and the borads coming out were cutting edge. Same for BLIND. Now there's an untapped resource for reissues.....
Thread resurrection. SP celebrating 5 years now. I haven't bought any of his stuff but I almost bought the barnhammer deck he did with Hosoi. I wish I had. That board looked really rad. The Suicidal Barnyard I did buy and it's fire. Ollies like crazy.

Here's hoping he's finally found business-peace.
