Out There: Donny Barley

[Rocko]

[funeral_tuxedo]

Fuck. Yes.

[Style Police]

One of the best.

[stephop]

Seriously one of the nicest dudes and that park is super fun..any park with ice skate ring ground is fun...cuz the east coast doesn't really have many of those.

[Owen]

This was great. Sick to see he's still skating and looking pretty fluid on a board.

Good to hear that he's still got a job through Element. They should definitely have him on their legends division thing if they don't already.

[shouldn't]

barrrrrley! that was a good watch. awesome that he’s still getting a check/skating like everyone else said. for the shady things element has done to some of their legends, at least they’re giving him the treatment he deserves.

[Cool Ceith]

The thing I really like about the Out There series is that it's straightforward, without any soundtrack—no emotional piano tinkling or swelling strings dramatic needle drops.

And I love Donny Barley.

[Tyroneshoelaces]

Best dude. Stand out part in my first video i ever saw and then in 411 29 he crushed this euro tour with koston and creager.

Like gino...he just has a certain lean.  Its timeless

[art hellman]

will forever be one of my all time top 5 parts of all time

[Useless Wooden Bench]

barrrrrley!

[rocklobster]

An all time favorite, straight power skating like Reese Forbes and Huf.

Also very friendly on Insta, chatted with him a couple of times on there and he's always been very friendly and will share stories on the history of graphics / decks he's had.

He's one of the few that made it out of their shit 2000s era program, plus he got shafted by Zoo York too. Happy he's got a place in the industry.

that's been burned into my brain since i was a kid.

No truer words…

”Skateboarding isn’t something you can just buy. It’s not something you can fake, you have to bleed for it.”

- Donny Barley

[Mean salto]

Real good.
It would be really cool if somebody uploaded his zoo York part.
I think he skipped over this period for whatever reason

[Rasmus]

He seems like such a nice and considerate man - I don't think I've ever read/watched an interview with him before, but it's crazy how much Westgate seems like a second coming of him. Their skating seem to come from the same strain, they look quite similar, and they both seem like these kind calm men.

good watch happy to hear about a good ending of someone's pro career!

Went from "I've always loved his style" in the beginning of the video to "I love Donny Barley" in the end.

This should be framed...or put on a Tshirt or something ha!

anyways, this was real nice, made me wish Epicly laterd was still around, a Barley episode would have been great.
btw that Toy Machine era was so dope. What a team...Muska, Templeton, Barley, Jamie Thomas, it's like a band with too  many leaders that breaks up and they all have good solo careers!

[RoaryMcTwang]

One of the most beautiful ollies of all time and such a great guy

[Burton Ernie]

Barley is the best. Those Sal 23 shoes are so iconic, and that Underachievers part is one of the reasons. Me and every skater I knew had multiple pairs of those.

[The real veganshawn]

One of the all time greats. Wonder if he still works for ACE also or just Element.

[banksandledges]

On and off the board, DB is a ruler.

[brucewillis]

He's still charging full speed! The ollie up the stairs, wallie up line was so sick too. What a ruler, he paid his dues and now is in a confortable place. This out there series is so wholesome, i love it.

yeah, he is. I commented on the classicclips post of him and said something about how I wished he had a part in TIS, and he actually replied and said that leaving Emerica was a regret of his and that looking back, he wished things had played out differently.

Always wondered why he didn't end up on Nike SB he was wearing them from the very start and assumed that's why he left emerica

[europa1991]

He might feel like he’s getting up there but cmon…. He still looks amazing on a skateboard.

[TurdyBird]

Legend

[assvogel]

Respect!

True blue Donny is, down to earth and humble.

That park is super slippery though, especially given the terrain we are used to riding on, it's like riding on ice. Regardless, it's a fun park that enjoy going to.

I dunno, something about how his shoulders and arms move in some of his footage looks just like Julien Stranger.
