Seemed like he had the perfect fit on real but plan b came knocking. Plan B curse.

Yeah and then Real came out with that ad that said something like “I guess we do press releases now when team riders quit, back in my day we would’ve blah blah blah”. I’m paraphrasing. The ad was lame and it was pretty much the last I heard from Darrell at that time, Plan B did basically nothing for him

Plan B 2.0 was a massive turd that ruined the careers of almost everyone involved. This dude had nollie front blunts on handrails and multiple NBDs on cliipper, his style was too good

True. in hindsight they chose getting payed well for a while over career longevity.

lowkey the only one who really made it from that initial plan b super team was P Rod. i really wonder what happend with that, theres gotta be a juicy story behind it. like how could u have PJ, Wenning, Darell, Sherm, Prod + others and fuck that upp.

When you have that many alpha type superstar skaters on one board brand, it's not gonna work. I have a theory that these personality types do best when they are the top dog or one of two top guys on a team and can flex in a video. When you have that many stars on one brand, none of them will feel like they are treated correctly and their output will show that lack of motivation.

Darrell is a trip.  He really was that guy and that styley.  I remember reading that he was on his business shit and possibly took it too far with demands and ego.

I think he had trouble adjusting from the era of fat paychecks and full lengths to the influencer era.  Undeniably one of those guys that look great on the board.

i feel like most people remember /celebrate his REAL era...but his Element era was also v v dope.

other than the element shoes, yes

In 2021 Darrell Stanton ordered a pair of Nyjah 2s from the online store of our shop, which is weird because we're in the middle of Canada. I know it was him because I checked his instagram and it was shipping to the same city he was living in and his provided e-mail address matched the contact email on his website.

I sent him a shop shirt with them hoping to see it pop up on his instagram but to be honest probably only checked a few times after if he wore it or not.

I also heard somewhere that Mic E Reyes was super pissed when Stanton left to Plan B. It would have been so dope though to see Darrell and Ishod skate on Real together.

Always loved his skating especially the Free Your Mind Part, this thread made me think about the time Jenkem tried to interview him https://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2013/06/27/whats-the-deal-with-darrell-stanton/

Always dug his style/parts.

His Bunt interview was pretty bizarre, no?
