Pro skater Darren Harper aka \u201cDStreets\u201d may be flashy, but it ain’t bragging if you can back it up. And D Harper\u00a0delivers<\/em>.<\/h2>\n

\u201cNobody can touch me as far as the upbringing I\u2019ve had and I\u2019m flashy, but I\u2019m humble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raised in the streets of Washington, D.C., Harper is helping to bridge the gap between the urban community and street skateboarding for all ages by doing speaking engagements and skating demos for kids.\u00a0 \u201cWhen I go to speak to these kids I use the flashy things to show them that hey, you can get this in positive ways. I got a diamond skateboard piece I wear and the kids get mesmerized by that. And I just tell \u2018em you can get this in positive ways. And that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your\u00a0 lovable Douche Bag Paul Eide spoke to the homey and this is what he had to say. So gape you earhole, lube up and lets get it poppin’.<\/p>\n

You were instrumental in getting some skate parks setup in DC- what\u2019s going on with that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we got our first major park setup by the Maloof Brothers. They actually sent me a message on Twitter one day and I was like, \u201cIs this real?\u201d And it was. We had done an event in the past in DC and that\u2019s when I had gotten the word that they were thinking about putting a skate park in DC. So eventually, down the line, I thought it wasn\u2019t going to be true, but it was true. In DC the city tried to but they never really got w the skaters. They just called people and those people didn\u2019t know what the kids wanted to skate. In every city they should at least get feedback from people involved in the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeah it looked like they just had a bunch of random objects strewn around?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah that\u2019s it no game plan at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can you explain what it was like starting in DC when there was almost no skate scene to where it is now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, first I was living in one of southeast DC\u2019s more notorious neighborhoods and found my first skate board in like \u201889, I found it in a bunch of furniture in front of a house where a family had been evicted. So we was walking and I grabbed it and we just kept it moving. From that day on we\u2019d mess around with it, ride down hills, whatever, just whatever for the thrill. But in like \u201889 or \u201890 there were two shows that came on TV-\u00a0Skate TV<\/em>\u00a0on Nickelodeon and the movie\u00a0Gleaming The Cube<\/em>. So when those two came out, it was on. I wanted to do everything, all the moves, that we saw on TV. And that just got me into skating and especially Tony Hawk after that movie came out.<\/p>\n

And I was that guy, in \u201989, like nine years old when I was skating with my friends, who called out, \u201cI\u2019m Tony Hawk!\u201d you know? And I\u2019d try to do all is moves. He was the most influential person coming up in my life at that time; I didn\u2019t have any role models so we looked up to the neighborhood hustlas who had money and when you\u2019re surround by that stuff in the hood that\u2019s all you saw. So you\u2019d see like Michael Jordan on TV somewhat but there guys in the neighborhood you could touch- it was real. They was making money, driving nice cars and looking successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Southeast DC was run by two crack dealers at the time, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I came up in that era. Yeah, Rayful Edmond. And another gentleman I don\u2019t know. The cocaine and drugs affected my household- we\u2019ll just put it like that. It was a cocaine epidemic at that time that I came up. So you can imagine kids skating in that neighborhood, jumping over heroine bags, bums that were passed out, just pretty much everything, seeing people get killed stuff like that. I\u2019ve seen so much coming up that I was right in the middle of that a situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

I was near Capitol Hill one night with a buddy and I saw a chick get the crap beat out of her in the middle of the street and we were like \u201cHey, hey, hey!\u201d and this dude pointed a gun at us and were like \u201cNever mind.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, that\u2019s it. That\u2019s how it is every day. And to be honest, that part is not as crazy as across the bridge where I\u2019m from. It\u2019s pretty chill by Capitol Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n

What was it like to be a nine year old kid skating in a neighborhood like that- where no one was skating?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI got a lot of flak from peers because it wasn\u2019t common for us to skate past a certain age, like past 8 or 9 because here comes the girls, here comes other things, more basketball, just everything. People start looking at me like \u201cYo- this is the only black kid riding a skateboard.\u201d You know like catching the bus or whatever. So sometimes I had to fight because it would cause a lot of fights.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s it like to be a professional skater on a day to day basis? Everybody probably thinks you\u2019re just chilling out all day, skating, but what\u2019s it really like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, for the most part some of that\u2019s right. But I have to train so I skate and go to the gym. I would say it isn\u2019t that different from an NBA or NFL player, really. When I\u2019m riding in my car I look at it like I\u2019m going to my gym, or field, so I\u2019m listening to certain music to get me pumped up. It\u2019s really the same situation because I have to stay in shape. But, it\u2019s beautiful to do something you love to do and get paid. I\u2019ve been able to travel around the world, all because of skateboarding. \u201c<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the most random experience you\u2019ve had thanks to skating?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you may know I\u2019m signed to Travis Barker\u2019s clothing company. One time we were in Vegas- there\u2019s many stories out there, you know- but all of the sudden Paris Hilton popped up and we went to a strip club with her. And I just remember seeing her, just right there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Was she cool at all?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cUh, she was more quiet. She was kickin it with Trav, so it was more like a family type thing where you could ask her a question, whatever. I wasn\u2019t star struck, but I was just chillin, thinking about \u201cWow she\u2019s worth x amount of dollars\u201d. I was more thinking about, \u201cWow all this money is right here.\u201d You could just\u00a0feel<\/em>\u00a0it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did she spend any money?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNahh, she was just kickin it, coolin out. The things is that a lot of people don\u2019t know is when you get rich like that and everybody knows, you don\u2019t have to spend money anymore- You get stuff for free. They pay you to go to these clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n

How\u2019d you get hooked up with Travis Barker\u2019s clothing company, Famous Stars and Straps?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA friend had an idea who knew I needed to get out of my neighborhood somehow. So he decided to film me skating so we made a video and there was a trade show coming up, the ASR Tradeshow in San Diego.\u00a0 So we went, passed out some of the DVDs and we saw Travis in his both and gave him one. So I go back home in about two to three weeks later they gave me a call and were like, \u201cYo we want to work with you.\u201d And that was it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Have you met your idol Tony Hawk yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNo I haven\u2019t, but when I do I want it to be special because I don\u2019t think he even knows what type of influence he has. Like for instance, right now I do a lot of speaking to kids in the hood and wherever and I try to cater to them as much as possible about showing the right direction. So when I go to speak at schools, his name is the first name to come up- and these are a bunch of afro American kids, which you wouldn\u2019t think. But, that\u2019s the first name that comes up. So I really just want to meet him and say \u2018thank you\u2019 for the influence he had on me because really, I wanted to be him. When I was that age I didn\u2019t know him from a can of paint, but I wanted to be Hawk at that age.\u201d<\/p>\n

marketing agency Wandering Eye and a notary business, Nebraska Notary. I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
