Welcome to Episode 4 of GLORY DAZE with Hippie Mike. Today we are chillin’ in the sunshine at the White Rock Res, a complete Do It Yourself Skate Spot located in South Surrey with the man I simply call The Jigga.…
I’m not much of a ledge skater, never really was, it’s not my thing. I have my share of ledge tricks I can do but none of them are that technical, I just stick to the very basics and ride weird obstacles trying to always land.…
About 13 years ago I made friends with a little dude at Confederation Park that was always trying to impress me when I was there. His name was Cisco Gooding and he was only about 14 or 15 years old. I would always brush him off and tell him he was too young to hang with us, but one day after a lot of persistence I finally gave in.…

Hipster and the Clowns
This video was one of the Teasers I put together prior to the What the “F” Video so a lot of this footage got used in there. But there’s some older Leeside Clips from before it started getting built higher in there, and also a couple street spots that were really fun and don’t exist anymore.…
You all know I’ve been on this scene for a long, long time. But some of you out there have only known me for a few years, so you might not know the old Hippie Mike. I grew up a full street skater since we had no skate parks unless we built them ourselves somewhere.…
Another classic Youth Fest Bowl demo, but unfortunately, the last one. That’s right, I mentioned it before, the Guildford Bowl has to be removed to accommodate the construction of the new pool attached to the Rec Centre. So that made this Bowl Demo that much more special.…
As some of you might have heard, my Canon Rebel T3i went MIA at the South Surrey Contest last Saturday, not really the way I had hoped to finish off the year of Hippie Mike’s Tour de Surrey. I’m a little pissed about it, since I work so hard to do so much for so many people and this is what I get in return.…
Every year the City of Surrey celebrates the next generation of young adults with Youth Fest at the Guildford Recreation Centre. Lots of exiting stuff will be happening from 4-10pm this Saturday, September 22nd, including Band performances, indoor and outdoor games, the Teen Dance, Breakdance Competitions, Ryan Brynelson Freestyle Demos, and of course the Skateboard vs.…
3 solid months the Show Up Mike contest ran for, and there was definitely times where a lot of people were on the site to vote. September 11th, ironically, was Judgement Day and the man with the most votes at 305, was Sean Lowe.…

Hippie Mike’s Re-Sheet the Ramp Fundraiser
It was just like old times, the way we used to party in our yard, except there was a full on Ramp Contest happening. The weather was a little shafty so all the people that said they were coming who had never been to my house before must have thought it would be cancelled, when in reality, the whole point of the contest was to raise money for new masonite and another new tarp to keep us dry all winter.…
