Make sure you check out Ellington's Desillusion part on him quitting drinking. It was incredible. 9 mins of honest admission of why he quit and now being a better role model for his family and the public. Really great guy.
He's so right about that jockish thing. Lot of skaters taking themselves way to seriously nowadays. Street League & Nike bullshit, Sheckler, Huston, Shane O' Neil, Malto... Just like a bunch of college footballers with a skateboard and couple tattoos to look cooler. Bunch of robot with all the same tricks. Screw that shit. Like it or not, Ellington is right. Where is the real urban street vibe where skateboarding is coming from? Do your homework and watch movies from the very early 90's all the way up to the early 2000's. You'll see what skateboarding really is deep to its core and how far from that we are now with all those nice cleancut healthy jocks. Fuck that.
Erik has always seemed like a pretty down to earth dude, and it seems like he's mellowed out a bit now. He seems happy, and that's great :) Also love his style man. Very unique and raw.
Erik is looking mighty healthy. Good for him staying level headed in skateboarding amd having a brand with some of the best skaters around. Baker 3 part is still of the sickest in my opinion.
Big Ellington fan he speaks some truth on skating in this for sure. Skating has become so mainstream. It's different now you find out everything so quickly an can see anything on youtube. It's not like back in the day when your buddy or you is like oh man you gotta check this new skate vid by Zero, Flip, Blind, whatever brand you prefer and you go to someone's house and kick back and watch the same vid a hundred times. It's just different for good and bad
Erik will always be one of my favorites but to call skateboarding jockish and your son is into crossfit is a little mind boggling to me... Scratched my head on that comment. But it made up for it with the bandana comment. Cheers erik!
the reason why Ellington has the best style evrr...... his style is smooth, gangsta, and rock and rollish all in one
I've been watching him since he was an am on zero. yes, i am old...
Me too. Yes I'm old as well... In skater years. It's okay tho.
+Kilo Bravo Productions thrill of it all
I got into skateboarding around the same time. My first pro board was a Zero Matt Mumford. I'm 33 now and have been skating since I was about 9.
I love Erik! He looks healthy and seems like he is doing well! Good stuff gentleman.

Perhaps the only video I can remember seeing with over 20k views and 0 dislikes. Even the haters agree that Erik is a legend.
I kinda agree with him to an extent about it becoming jockish
It's kind of tight that his son doesn't skate. You have to be a good dad to let a kid have their own passion
You don't have kids
being a parent isn't an achievement.
@@thebigbeesknees being a good parent and raising a kid that doesnt become a criminal is an achievement.

He has a perfect radio voice haha. Also I miss his hair lol.
Ellington is the fuckin man
Guys, make these a little longer!
Bring back the Craig couch
the thing is...never regret what you wore, it was tight when you did it and that is why you wore it and that is all that matters.
