If you've watched the past three excellent Sunday Brunch videos, you will know Mike McMullen as one member of an exclusive crew of skaters who spend their Sunday's visiting various outdoor skateparks across Southern California while enjoying the odd beer...or eight. What you may not know is that, in addition to being a skater, he also designed various skins and graphics for Valo, and he is responsible for the branding for Them Skates. 

I love speaking to people involved in the creative and artistic elements that make up skating and the companies involved in it because it's such a huge part of what makes our sport so interesting to me - artistic expression. Mike came across as warm, funny and passionate about his craft, but he also has the endearing ability to not take himself too seriously. I know this episode will perhaps not be as popular as one featuring everyone's favourite skater, but I believe these individuals are just as important as the people putting out the best video parts of winning the major contests.
