Darren Navarrette #12.



"One time when I first came out to California I was hanging out with Jamie Thomas and I was looking at a magazine and just flipping through it until I'd find a vert photo. He was like, 'Is that all you do? Do you even street skate?' 'Yeah, I street skate.' 'Do you ever go to handrails?' 'Yeah, I've done handrails.' So he took me to a handrail, and I five-O'd it. And he was like, 'You don't even boardslide it first?'"

The Vertical Vampire talks about his approach to street skateboarding. For a fun fact, Jamie did offer Darren a spot on Toy Machine, but he declined since he was already on Creature.
