Ask The Phelps: Mike Maldonado

His coverage has been underground and in the spotlight, but Mike's remained the same skater to the core. Here he breaks down East Coast skating-and that classic bench ollie from Welcome to Hell.

[@ChefeOnions]

Happy to say, I’ve seen him doing massive back 180s over tall yellow barrier on flat, years ago at a local indoor. Legendary!

[@IpathLion]

Give thanks for these Phelps Gems !

Good to see Mike still skating! I still remember his Jump off a Building part from back in the day.
