OK ON THE FLIPSIDE.. IF YOU GET PAID FOR SKATEBOARDING (EVEN FROM THE WORST COMPANIES) TO THE "OUTSIDE" WORLD YOU ARE PRO..

FUCK HIS LAST TRICK IN WHAT EVER NEW VIDEO SHOULD BE HIM GETTING SHOT "IN THE TOUGHEST AREA " AND JUST DIE RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT.

Darren Harper is awesome. He has crazy style, but its original. You faggots ever been to South East DC? Its fucking crazy. Go down there and try and skate down the street, get away from your college computer where your parents are paying you to go to school.

We don't need you to tell us where he's from or how the situation is over there, he's already told us all 9832473984734 times!!! I've been where he lives, and yes, its really sketchy but he's trying to build his career around the fact that he used to sling dope rather then skating, and its really old.

he should just skateboard, and stop trying to market his "image", he's trying to be this guy who broke free from the ghetoo using a skateboard, good for him. so, shut up and skate.

I Agree to a certain extent. But I also just like his skating. It's nice to see something diffrent then rail chompers and Bobby Puleo wanna bee's. Sometimes bad style is refreshing. Where are you Josh Beagle?

man, you guys are too harsh. if you were from his neighborhood you would talk about that shit all the time.

Haters will hate. I've seen Darren grow up and watched him learn how to ollie downtown in the mid 90's. Too see him get to where he's at now is inspiring to me. I can see how people can hate on him. His story does sound like a broken record sometimes though but it's also the interviewer that's asking the same questions everyone else has asked him before. But SE DC is no joke and to come up skateboarding is something unexpected from that area. It's like a complete opposite of what's expected. Like try to picture a hip hop artist coming up from Boise, Idaho. Not completely impossible but would be something unheard of. His skating is unique and isn't like everyone else but isn't that what gets us into skateboarding? Not trying to be like everyone else? He's raw, unpolished, and has tons of pop. I like his skating but maybe I'm biased since I've seen this cat since day 1.

I know darren has major skill and all, to say non-the less i actually like his skating its just what he has become now that really turns me away from his skating, fame, fortune it all comes and goes! so ehhh!

I know plenty of people from that area that skateboard, and some of them are even sponsored. And yet, none of them ever flaunt being from that area or talk about it all the time, if at all.

He's actually a very nice dude in person. That clip of him bustin on little kids was a joke. But this is the internet where people just type stuff they'd normally not say to a person face to face, so whatever. Haters will hate.

No, I'm just saying that I know people from the same area that hes from, but they don't tell everybody (if anybody) they meet about how bad the area is.
