Mike "Lizard King" Plumb #2.

Fun bits of Lizard King trivia:

1. He gave out his phone number in an interview with Skateboarder Magazine.

2. He got the Deathwish logo tattooed on his neck before the company existed and was only in the planning stages. He still rides for Deathwish to this day.

3. Ryan Sheckler gave him a car after a contest for Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory television show. Sheckler won the car in a best trick contest. Lizard won a sword for his fourth place finish. When it was realized Lizard didn't have a car, the two swapped prizes.

4. He might be responsible for the awkward trend of slapping the bottom step with your tail or rail after leaping down a set of stairs.

5. Geoff Rowley punched him in the nose and broke it.

I've been digging the parts of the new Toy Machine video that have been popping up on Thrasher. I hope this one does come out on DVD because it looks totally worth viewing multiple times in the living room.
