I remember seeing him in this is skateboarding and thinking like wow this dudes cool as fuck, doesn't give a shit about anything. I've always liked his skating but after this I got way more respect for him as a family man/good dude. Stoked to see this!
Idk what gave me the wrong impression but growing up I always assumed Ellington was kind of a drunk all the time burnout type. It just always seemed in his baker parts he was all strung out when he wasn't skating. So glad I was wrong about him. This was probably my favorite epicly later'd. What an awesome dude. And his shoe was always my favorite lol
i still remember when he was on zero.. now that i am older i have mad respect for him.. he has a bunch of companies AND he still skates which stokes me hardcore.. mad props for the older guys who keep skating. Greco too.
"This skateboarder Eric Ellington is the most real, ruff, honest person in the industry for the time. Really got stoked watching his part in Misled youth. A true skaters skater. Even with that fuckin Slayer song lol! Peace p.s. Peace
i grew up in the 90s and all the videos he was in i had bought back than and i really liked him but kinda lost track of him after the 90s glad too see hes cool
i had the colvin reissue elington...i didnt skate from 2000- like 2012...ive never seen em skate til now...when i stopped skating was like 1998...and started skating again 2012...i missed alot of video......good skating
I used to skate with this dude back in AK. Him and this dude Thomas Newnan . Ripping it up on small wheels , shitty spots. AK skating was rough. Interesting to see how he turned out.
erik is possibly the nicest guy in skating. i think cus he rode for baker he probably got a little influenced by the pack but through it all, he is a nice as hell guy. repsect.
I'm met Erik(and John Dickson-both cool dudes)in Australia through my friend Wade Burkitt and hung out having some drinks and he liked my shirt so we did a shirt(just a cheap red flannel)swap(something I later found out he was known to do)and I ended up with a rad Shake Junt button up when they had probably just come out in the States and definitely not released in Australia yet..the one with the chicken legs and weed and some other shit..I've still got it...great shirt..great memory..great dude👍
Ellington is so fuckin raw, could watch this dude skate everyday, even if hes doing the same trick it always looks a little different each time. Him and Dollin partyin together seems like trouble haha.
had his pro model shoe of supra '' the EE diablo deathwhish collabo'', best shoe ever! last it me 6-7 months, did allot op treflips kickflips dubble flips and shit like that, only the sole gave it up to me.
Crazy how no matter what skin color you are to some people that just don't understand your appearance places you in a category that you just don't belong in...the guy was surprised to hear Eric just bought that house when he said...hey can I help you guys out ?....@1:24
I met Neen Williams not that long ago, and super chill ass dude!! He even promised to DM me a recipe for a jerk chicken he made on his YT channel and a few days later, he actually did!! I feel all those Baker/Deathwish dudes are chill. I even met Sammy Baca once and he was super nice to my little sister
Seems like a guy who had a good time when he was younger then turned it round to having a nie family and house instead of becoming a junkie who had nothing or nobody, nice guy :)
Ellington genuinely seems like one of the nicest and most genuine people in skating. plus he has the best backside bigspin ever so certified legend .
second best… Cody McEntire
"Uhh I just bought the house right here, Im Erik Ellington". Like a BOSS
Totally dude had that you guys need to leave tone 🤣

Cameron Blackwell loved the black and white models but my favorite enericas were the reynold 2s
you should do a revisiting of erik ellington!
james jenkinson I agree
Yes
jenkem has one
M
thrasher made one
eric's an all around rad dude. i wish he got a multiple segment profile, i would've liked to hear more about his story.
Such a nice humble man
Really inspiration
i still remember when he was on zero.. now that i am older i have mad respect for him.. he has a bunch of companies AND he still skates which stokes me hardcore.. mad props for the older guys who keep skating. Greco too.
One of my favorite skaters. Love his skating style. ✌
This guy seems so laid back and chill.
10 years later but Ellington has always been an inspiration to me. Such a good dude and has always seemed so driven, skating and business wise
"This skateboarder Eric Ellington is the most real, ruff, honest person in the industry for the time. Really got stoked watching his part in Misled youth. A true skaters skater. Even with that fuckin Slayer song lol! Peace p.s. Peace
Ellington is so humble and had a unique style and was phenomenal!
Yes I’ve been watching these for I hate to say almost ten years and this is what I listen to for going to sleep I don’t know why but thank you Patrick
prob my fav episode of e.l. i enjoyed it. along with tempelton and milton my fav skater. amazing kid also. GOD bless him and his family.
i grew up in the 90s and all the videos he was in i had bought back than and i really liked him but kinda lost track of him after the 90s glad too see hes cool
He loves life, his kid, his wife, etc etc.... but it's skateboarding that still gives him chills when he does something new.
“Uh I mean I can’t really tell you what I think of it without knowing what it is” lmao
This needs to be like 3 times as long. For sure needs another installment.
i had the colvin reissue elington...i didnt skate from 2000- like 2012...ive never seen em skate til now...when i stopped skating was like 1998...and started skating again 2012...i missed alot of video......good skating
Dude was even touching the ground with his hand as a kid haha
“Can I help you guys?”
“Oh, I just bought this house. I’m Erik Ellington.”
HA! Fuckin love that shit.
Met Erik at a Baker event out at Hollenbeck Park in LA, got a picture with him, super cool guy genuine as hell and shreds.
I used to skate with this dude back in AK. Him and this dude Thomas Newnan . Ripping it up on small wheels , shitty spots. AK skating was rough. Interesting to see how he turned out.
I am really courious to know if he actually did build that treehouse that he says at the beginning
he did
10:41 "..like koston.." while showing him nailing a spot from kostons part in Yeah Right ^___^
damn this gave me a new respect for erik
1:25 imagine the dude you thinks is homeless having more money than you
probably the most honest epicly laterd vids ive ever seen
Erik is so chill.
Wow he's actually a nice chill dude
Best skate shows I listen to go to sleep 15 years later
one of the best! !!!
erik is possibly the nicest guy in skating.
i think cus he rode for baker he probably got a little influenced by the pack but through it all, he is a nice as hell guy. repsect.
Ellington bloody great skater,loved all his zero parts great man,High Five
I loved his shoes
I'm met Erik(and John Dickson-both cool dudes)in Australia through my friend Wade Burkitt and hung out having some drinks and he liked my shirt so we did a shirt(just a cheap red flannel)swap(something I later found out he was known to do)and I ended up with a rad Shake Junt button up when they had probably just come out in the States and definitely not released in Australia yet..the one with the chicken legs and weed and some other shit..I've still got it...great shirt..great memory..great dude👍
Damn !! Ellington even had the back bigspins as a kid !!! Hell yea
beautiful.
Ellington introduced me to Slayer. Misled youth, one of my favorite video parts ever.
Responsible chaos.., this dude is awesome
Erik is so rad
Respect the guy
A great personality
I used to have the Clout Skateboards video "All Soul, No Payroll." I'm pretty sure that was his first video part.
Ellington is so fuckin raw, could watch this dude skate everyday, even if hes doing the same trick it always looks a little different each time. Him and Dollin partyin together seems like trouble haha.
Ellington has always been rad .
had his pro model shoe of supra '' the EE diablo deathwhish collabo'', best shoe ever!
last it me 6-7 months, did allot op treflips kickflips dubble flips and shit like that,
only the sole gave it up to me.
his bs bigspin as a kid was clean af
We want a part 2
ellington should have a much longer epicly later'd.
hands down one of the chillest bakers
Awesome dude.
Met him before, he seemed alright. I just went up to him and said hey nothing else lol
buddahmaster well maybe start a conversation with him, you know him but he doesn't know you

i love this
Where was the big spin board with the mismatched shoes at? Flashbacks
No shit right, he's super sincere. Id say between all those baker, d.wish guys, he's the most cool unpretentious it seems..
I just met him at a Deathwish/Supra event, super humble and friendly, even gave some guy his old deck
I remember when I first saw pictures of him early 2000s and I admit I thought he was going to be a fucker... I was totally wrong..
I met Neen Williams not that long ago, and super chill ass dude!! He even promised to DM me a recipe for a jerk chicken he made on his YT channel and a few days later, he actually did!! I feel all those Baker/Deathwish dudes are chill. I even met Sammy Baca once and he was super nice to my little sister
He's a fucking Rock Star on a skateboard.. A true thrasher
Ellington always reminds me of Marilyn Manson if he skated hahaha
Really?...... How
+connor day their hair and face are relatively similar id say. and just their akward yet graceful flow they both own
wow I can totally see that now, haha. interesting observation
probably explains why i love em both :)
Straight uuuup!!! Hahaha
One hell of a bloke.
This dude is low key 1 of my favorite skaters 🛹 or💀☠️
Baker 3
respect
cool epicly laterd, he seems like a really nice guy
what a dude.
If his son gets into skating he will be amazing.
I don't skate at all but I love Epicly Later'd. Erik Ellington and Chris Haslam are my favorite. Call me lame...
Misled youth Erik Ellington my favorite part in the video
Daniel Isabelle Ellington woz my favorite baker part, but Jamie Thomas had the best part in mislead youth, totally just an opinion though
i fucking love ellington, what a fucking boss
Seems like a guy who had a good time when he was younger then turned it round to having a nie family and house instead of becoming a junkie who had nothing or nobody, nice guy :)
9:10 the inventor of the waveboard.
