Revolution Mother performs "Bullet"

Whether he’s tearing up a skate park, fronting his punk band Revolution Mother or taking on 4 guys at one time (video footage of this fight made its way all over the internet), Mike Valley only has one speed: 110 MPH. A pioneer of skateboarding, Valley won the competed in the very first X games. He appears on Fuel TV with instructional segments about skateboarding, and has been a mainstay in the Tony Hawk video game series. Revolution Mother is the most recent project for Valley, and the first CD, Enjoy the Ride (Mike V., Inc.) will be available on August 8. The punk rock project also features guitarist Jason Hampton, bassist Ed Solis, and drummer Wal Rashidi, and is already being likened to AC/DC and punk legends Black Flag. This high-energy show comes to Xtreme Wheels on Tuesday (July 25), with a skate demo kick off at 5pm.
