Mike Carroll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mike Carroll (born 1975) is a professional skateboarder from San Francisco who skated for H-Street and then formed the super team, Plan B Skateboards. In a mass defection, Mike started Girl Skateboards with fellow Plan B rider Rick Howard. Carroll is often sarcastic towards people. Carroll was a long-time rider for Vans Shoes, but abruptly left the company soon after they released his pro model shoe and jumped to DC, where they released a signature model shoe called the Cosmo. Not long afterwards he left DC along with Rick Howard and they started their own shoe company, Lakai, a shortened version of Malakai, a nickname of Mike Carroll's. Caroll is said to have discovered the famous San Fransisco skateboard landmark 3rd and Army. [1]
Carroll won Thrasher magazine's Skater of the Year award in 1994.
