Mike Frazier & Darren Navarrette.
Stereo creatures.
With recent video parts from Tom Schaar, the duo of Jimmy Wilkins and Shea Donovan, and Elliot Sloan, the plan was to do a week of newer vertical skaters. So anyway, here's two vert legends who are in the ballpark of over/under 50 years old. Skatelite is a durable ramp surface material that's better than masonite or plywood. They've been around since the tail end of the 1990s.

Is Navs riding a board with the Corey O'Brien graphic? His stickers block out a lot, but it does look like it.
It's not a Corey O'Brien, although I see why you'd ask that. It's an older Creature deck that got reissued.

Mike Frazier was so great at his peak. Neither the technicality of TH, or the smooth power of Hosoi, but more like a Frankie Hill of vert, sticking incredible tricks. 540 to fake was a favourite - how many folk do you see who could just do that on command? Power, incredibly stylish, at least top 5 throughout the 90s I'd say.
