Tell us about your first big sponsorpayed roadtrip and what your first few tour trips after that like?
|
| Darrel
|
The first was to Arizona, in 2001. It was a "Real" trip and it was tight because it was my first trip. Peter Ramondetta went and that was tight cause I knew him befor.
After that just a lot of road trips and nasty van stories. I've covered alot of
miles in a nasty van with a lot of people. It was pretty rough but I just want to skate so it was whatever you know. I didn't care.

Nice. Did you ever have some personal input that you liked on a specific deck graph or clothing design?
|
| Darrel
|
I did a Biggie graphic for Real a little while ago. Ready to Ride. I was
hyped on that graphic because it was all me.

Do you know any Swedish words?
|
| Darrel
|
No, I took Japanese in school, Swedish word aren't really my fortay.
It kindof like German though right?
|
| | Skate.nu
|
Some words are the same so I think they are kind of related far back in history but its not similar enough for us to understand. You haven't been over here anything have you?
|
| Darrel
|
I've never been to Sweden befor. I'd like to go someday.
|
| | Skate.nu
|
We'd love to see you over here. That's it I guess. Got anything more to say?
|
| Darrel
|
When I come to Sweden be ready please.
