Mike Carroll (born 1975) is a professional skateboarder from San Francisco who skated for H-Street and then joined the super team Plan B Skateboards. Mike is known for being an innovator of technical street skating in the early 90's. After the death of Mike Ternasky, Carroll started Girl Skateboards with fellow Plan B rider Rick Howard. He was a long-time rider for Vans, but left the company soon after they released his pro model shoe and was picked up by DC Shoes, 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 favorite character of Mike's from the movie "Children of the Corn." Carroll is said to have discovered the famous San Francisco skateboard landmark 3rd and Army. [1]
Carroll won Thrasher magazine's Skater of the Year award in 1994. Carroll is a playable character in EA's video games "skate." and "Skate 2".
