couple years ago i was a carnie in the alaska state fair. well, kinda. i was skateboarding in keith king’s bmx stuntshow for 3 or 4 shows a day for almost two weeks, i think. that junk was fun, man. they were long days, but man they were fun. after a long day of shows, we’d all go back to our cabins and sit by the campfire till the wee hours then wake up and do it again. mike laird was one of the crew. the guy rips. he’s got such a smooth style. he kept to himself a lot, but never failed to throw in a zinger to make fun of the girls that some of the crew dragged to the campfire that night. he’s a genuine kind of guy, and i like that about him. no frills and no fake smiles or any of that bullcrap. you can even BE mike laird if you play any of the dave mirra video games. creepy. mike still rides for mirraco and you can check out his profile HERE. turn up the slayer.
