“mike carroll lays down a proper backside smith grind with ty evans capturing the line. l.a., circa late ’90s. mike has always been one of my favorite skateboarders, seeing him blow the fuck up at emb, or destroy the 43 mini ramp with the utmost style. his video parts are what skaters should study on the proper way to ride a skateboard. he is a true legend. shot with a canon eos-1, tri-x 35mm film.”—Mark Oblow
