Legend has it Daryl "found" Nugget living in a dingy vacant lot beneath a freeway overpass in downtown San Jose. It was there that Daryl witnessed this timid little vietnamese boy performing jaw dropping skateboard trickery on a chunky piss stained ledge. It wasn't long before Nugget was taken in by Daryl, given a nice warm bed/floor to sleep in/on, and plenty of used Think Skateboards to ride.
The Junkyard has recently emerged from its dormant state, brought about mostly due to construction workers and soulless uptight neighbors, and appears to be fully skateable once again. Jon and I visited his former residence a week ago for the first time in over six years. As nostalgia quickly grabbed my by the testicles I was reminded of all the marvelous tricks Jon used to perform on Junkyard's classic ledge. "when is the last time you did a kickflip fs bluntslide Jon," I asked. "Damn, probably the last time you and I skated here dude," he replied. Apparently after six years the Nugget can still bring home the bacon.
