Video Games
Mike has appeared in the highly successful Tony Hawk Pro Skater skateboarding video game series since the fourth release of the game, in which he appeared as a secret character. From the fifth release of the game he has been a major character in each game.
The storyline to the fifth game in the series, Tony Hawk's Underground (THUG), is based on Mike V's skateboard career. Mike also teaches the player the Flamingo trick early in the same game.

Famous quotes related to video games:
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
