Plan B’s great, They have an all-star team, getting the classic Plan B legacy out there and have something great to start off with. Mike is a legend for Plan B he may have died but not to early to change skating for ever. R.I.P Mike Ternasky, May God be your light.

Alright,
I have never had a problem with Plan B or any of their product prior to this experience. I have been skating for quite a while and have tried out almost every type of board. I was bitter towards Plan B because they bought out all of the good pro’s off of their original teams. I finally got a Plan B deck as a gift and set it up just a couple of hours ago. It is the brand new Paul Rodriguez Pro-Light deck which is supposed to be super light and ultra strong. Well, I went out and skated it with a brand new setup. I was extremely disappointed to see that it had very little pop and I couldn’t ollie nearly as high as I could with all of the other boards I have skated. What urged me to write this review is that after TEN minutes of skating and doing a few flat ground tricks, I snapped the nose on an ollie north. TEN MINUTES. I can’t get a hold of Plan B’s customer support because their website is extremely unhelpful and they won’t respond to any of my attempts to get a hold of them. I am VERY disappointed with the construction of a deck that is supposed to be Super Light and Ultra Strong and I can’t understand why so many good pro’s would want to stand behind a company with such poor construction. Even if this board was a defect, unless Plan B can convince me otherwise I would not recommend this company to ANYONE and will never buy a plan B deck again or carry them in my shop.

Someone with the means should do a documentary on the life of Mike. There’s already one on Rocco, Jason Jesse, Tim Brauch and more. Why not add Mike’s name to that list. He’s surely deserving of it and it would be a great way of honoring his memory.

I was on H-Street pretty much the whole time it was around and definitely would have to say that MT was the driving force and mastermind behind it all. He knew how to get inside all of our heads and make us push ourselves as hard as we could. Noone else in skateboard history has even come close to playing the role MT did, he was a friend, coach and mentor all in one. Stacy Peralta was the MT of the early 80s, but MT took it to a more raw, real level. Not so glamorous as the bones brigade. Beyond all of that, he was a visionary. He was not content with the way things were and knew how to accelerate the evolution of skateboarding exponentially. Everyone in the world affected by skateboarding in any way needs to give their respects to him, cause there will never be another like MT. Danny, Sal, Colin etc. would not be who they are today without MT, not saying they are not super skilled skaters, but MT took them all to a new level. He knew how to facilitate growth and progress. By Danny, Sal and Colin carrying the torch, it is helping to keep his legacy alive and with the skills and resources they have, there is no way it will not work. MT is still involved… believe that.
