Nick Darger Super 60

"The Super 60 is designed to test a rider's consistency, creativity and use of a space within a skatepark. Riders are given 60 minutes to film as many clips as they can, and turn this into a video showcasing their personal style and tricks."

Nick Darger, a 17 year old senior in high school, rides and lives in Corona, California. Nick has been riding for nearly four years now, and loves the people he rides with as well as the riding itself. He was featured in the 951 DVD, having an awesome opening part. If you haven't seen it already, I suggest you buy a copy. Here is his Super 60, filmed by Nick Donatelli.

Intro by Sam Short.

After watching his S60, I caught up with Nick and asked him a few questions.


Jordan Jasa: Mr Nick Darger, you along with some other guys recently put out the 951 DVD this fall. What was it like to finally put that out? Do you think people liked it?

Nick Darger: It felt like a giant weight was lifted off my shoudlers. we had been filming for the DVD for 9 solid months. getting as much footage as we could. and i spent a good month editing it with the help of Radtke. I also didnt have to be stressed out when i ride to try to push myself to film my video part. I could finally relax and just have fun with riding again.

I have gotten nothing but positive feedback on the video, so i think it was a big hit. And im still sellings lots of DVDs to companys today, so its been selling good. Im really excited about the good turnout, and putting the money towards making the next DVD even better.

You've had pegs on for a little while now, and they are showcased prominently in your S60. What are your favorite tricks to do on them?

Lately i have been running 3 pegs (2 front 1 back) and i have just been messing around with different rail tricks. Mainly ice pick grinds, normal and oppo hangover tooth grinds, and switch up combos. And i love getting somewhat techy with icepick stalls. Other than that i just love the all the tricks and combos that pegs unlock and how they allow you to get more origional and creative with your riding.

How does the riding in your S60 compare to the riding in some of your other video parts?

Umm, my 951 part was me trying to create the best video part i could while trying to keep it mostly street. My S60 is basically my everday riding, just messing around doing fun little lines at my local.

Thanks for your time Nick, any shout-outs?

Im sorry tyler, but im shouting out to your mom! She had to deal with me at your house all summer and she made me some damn good speghetti! Shoutout to Nick Donatelli for filming and just plain being a badass. And to Blader Billy for merking lives every day. And a shoutout to Josh and Collin from Tilt for making some damn good pegs. Oh, and also to Jordan for finally getting this interview done lol <333
