Mikey Taylor #3.



Driving.

Mikey's part in Mind Field picks up with where he left off after Skate More. It features some of the same spots, too. You get a blend of tech and big handrails from Mikey. He puts together really solid ledge lines. I like how smoothly he carves around between the tricks. Everything is landed perfectly. Mikey skates some huge handrails, such as the one in this ad. He lands a lengthy switch 50-50, a long distance crooked grind, combines a frontside feeble and a tailslide, and ends on a 50-50 to dirt ride as a somber Dinosaur Jr. song plays. The part also features a tribute to his late friend Van Wastell, who passed away in 2008.
