In case you don’t know, Mike Carroll & Rick Howard are 2 of the most respected, most influential, most inspirational and most stylized skateboarders in our world today. There will never ever be another Mike Carroll & Rick Howard, as far as I’m concerned.
We are blessed to have these 2 skateboarders skateboarding in our era.
They are most definitely your favorite skateboarders’ favorite skateboarder! No doubt.
I had the chance to meet Mike for the first time back in 2000, fast forward 9 years later, he came to Hong Kong for the second time along with his partner in crime, Mr Rick Howard. I met Rick last year in Shen Zhen when he was filming for Fully Flared (the most successful skateboarding video). I’m seriously grateful that I can meet these 2 living legends in person (still killin it on their skateboards) and one important thing for sure, both Rick & Mike are 2 of the most real genuine cats alive, true skateboarders, I truly respect that. So good to see them both out here in Hong Kong.
We had a chance to walk around Mong Kok and checked out some shit.
Mike & Rick, next time you come back to HK, the skate session is on! ONE LOVE.
PS: Also, they’re both responsible for GIRL / CHOCOLATE / LAKAI / FOUR STAR / ROYAL / RUBY’S / CRAILTAP (all the ill shit)
Mike is psyched on his Black Stump Australian beer.
More accessories?

REBELLION is a new Hong Kong movie starring Shawn Yue and Chapman To. Also starring are our homies; Conroy Chan, Jun Kung and Paul Wong. Dayeem, homies represent for sure, especially Jun Kung, his role in the movie is the amazing and he executes his role super super well! WELL done guys.
Last night was the premier of the movie at the ELEMENTS.
It’s a good ol’ Hong Kong gangster flick. Definitely check it out.
Mabo san from Wabi Sabi sent us this information about one of the most respected magazines in Japan called GRIND. If you are in Japan, get a copy and enjoy it.
Thanks for the LOVE Grind, we truly appreciate it.
