Because the thing those guys fail to understand is that it's the skateboarding world (industry and everyday skateboarders) that judges what one deserves. This isn't just a skill-based sport. You can't pull that arrogant Muhammad Ali shit here. If you aren't likeable, then you aren't marketable.[close]What you're implying is that Forrest and Darrell aren't liked in the world of skateboarding. That would be a false claim seeing as nearly everybody has seen Forrest's Thrasher part and liked him. Darrell is also well liked according to most of his videos and some of this thread. Take, for example, Keelan Dadd. He's an arrogant douche but he's well liked in the world skateboarding and is very marketable. Also, Figgy. Dude's a total dickhead, but he sells a fuckton of boards and people still like him. Which leads to my point, they're both very marketable and well liked in the industry. [close]I agree. Darrell?s attitude is not why he?s not hooked up. I think skating is just getting in with the right people and that is what he doesn?t have. He burned some real bad bridges already at DLX, then with Plan B and Element he seemed to just not care about and then he diminished LE as if it wasn?t legit. Dude is just limiting himself when he shouldn?t. DGK is just way too stacked for him to be setting his sights on them. He just made some bad choices really and unfortunately it?s biting him in his ass.The whole Forrest thing I just don?t get. Attitude aside, he?s a total money maker. Dude would bring in a decent amount of business to anyone who would get him on and it?s not like he?s lazy. Dude puts out clips and that is all skaters want to see. ?

Youre seriously going to compare this dude to Carlos Ruiz?
i wish there was a slap pals question, free lunch, epicly laterd or something on whats hes up to. shit
Does anyone else with his nickname was "Ding Dang" so that people would call him Darrell "Ding Dang" Stanton? I wish that was true.
At least when Darrell goes to a park he has a big smile and he shows everyone love. Who gives a fuck about his attitude. He's not like some pros who show up, drink a Starbucks coffee and act like a dick.

His foot is fucking sideways! He may not be on Danny Way levels like he claims to be but this dude is one of the most stylish in the game, he's got a good bag of tricks, and can generally do everything. The only problem is that people don't know how to handle confidence and when someone is outspoken about their abilities. And black people can generally wear what we want and it'll get a pass, except for Wayne, he's just gone regular.

I just thought it was a funny observation, and he looks like pretty much every young, black skateboarder these days, which is like Tyler the Creator. I'm sure I've worn dumber shit, and Darrell rips way harder than I ever will, but at least my ego is in check.

Obama doesn't want you to watch free porn, too much masturbation is slowing the economic recovery
I heard he's a Zionist.
fuckn' heavy beautiful clip. Siked. dude needs to start his own program if no one's willing to give him another shot. Darrell and Forrest on the same team would be dope.
hahaha the best part in that interview was "wherever im going to go, its going to be a big deal." "Life Extension isnt ready for such a high calliber skater like myself"

If someone asks them about their ability to do a certain trick most pros wiill say something along the lines of "Idk, I might be able to. It's pretty gnarly" or if they ask if they'll win a contest they're say "Idk, everyone is so gnarly out here, I probably won't win" but Darrell is more outspoken about his confidence in his abilities and it's such a strong contrast from the normal pro that it makes hims confidence come across more as cockyiness.
