Mike Crum #7.

"Mike, or the Nollie Lama as we call him, was my best friend during my transitional turning-pro stage. He got me into so much trouble and could somehow party like an ’80s vert skater. Oh yeah, because he was one! Crum is responsible for me getting a paycheck from Emerica and could nollie over your head. Thank you, Crum!" - Darren Navarrette

After keeping it real in the streets for years, DVS added Mike to the team in 1999. It's maybe somewhat odd to have a vert guy, but Mike was doing a lot of nollies and flip tricks on the big ramps so he fit in fine.

Shout out to Tim Anderson and Bobshirt. The Jack Sabback interview was really cool.
