Back 15-20 years ago, Ed and his homies would go around to all the OC parks on Christmas day and give away boxes of product to all the kids. Hell, he might still do it this day. The man is a true legend.
Skateboarding is so young, I'm glad my idols are starting to realize we're at a point where the history needs to be filled in with the story portion. Skateboarders connect with professional skaters in a way people don't realize, it's nothing like the typical fan/athlete connection. I went from Chris Cole and Andrew Reynolds as idols on my walls growing up, to Chris Cole and Andrew Reynolds as proper role models in the fatherhood department when it comes to raising my 5 year old son. We're fortunate that you guys want to share a lot of personal history on these subjects.
I wonder if that will change for the next generation? I feel like skating is becoming more like a modern professional sport where there is a disconnect. Modern pro athletes often feel contempt for their audience. I think skating hasn’t become as bad yet, but I hope it never does.
Hey Jamie i've met you twice. First time was when you were on King of the Road, 2004 in Carbondale Co. Second time was in Boulder Co in 2007 I think. Each time you took the time to talk to me and it felt like I was just talking with another friend. Those exchanges have made a huge impact on me and I just wanna say thanks. You're a genuine guy, and a inspiration.
Ed should be proud of himself being such a legend in skateboarding and successful in the art world to. Jamie also deserves a lot of credit for his success in business as well.
I skated at the little hb skate park at the highschool with the pirmind and two blocks you riped it up and then just took off you guys where my favorite skaters growing up it cool to hear you rap the good ol days haha
Ed Templeton is the man! Definitely made it a little easier for skateboarders to break the “cool guy” mold and be comfortable expressing their true selves! Idol!
Ed will always be synonymous with skateboarding. To me, Ed has always embodied skating and how it should be. I was in school as a skateboarder before it was cool, and I remember people clowning me for how I looked and my gear and shit. I also remember never being bummed on it because Ed Templeton thought it was rad, and Ed was infinitely cooler than the jocks who talked shit at my dumpy midwest highschool. Dude also has a killer style. I still watch his skate parts to get hyped or if I feel unmotivated.
Also, I will ALWAYS buy Templeton decks when I run across them. I hope he realizes that even if he never stepped on a board again, he will always be a skater, and always have the respect of those who know....and not many pros have that.
I met Ed twice, once at a demo in Sweden and once at Sants in Barcelona. Both times he was super cool, humble and inviting. One of my all time favourite skaters, but for sure one of my all time favourite humans.
Jamie, if you read this your pod cast is fucking awesome. I'm 31 and getting to know the history behind the skaters of my time is amazing. I couldn't imagine being 16 and having this kind of behind the scenes stuff in the early 2000s. Keep em coming please
My two all-time skateboarding heroes having a conversation that I can listen to! This is truly amazing, you guys have been an inspiration to me since the mid 90's and I still love that you're both doing awesome stuff to this day. ZERO & TOY MACHINE FOR LIFE!
That was Awesome, loved Ed describing his departure from constant skating, nice to know other people feel the same pain when they know there body is done, from injury or old age. Great work Jamie, would love to see Ethan Fowler on here one day.
Hearing the legends talk about the difficulties of getting older is honestly refreshing, 38 with messed up hips, but just want to roll around and have fun whether I’m even popping the board or not, hope you both keep it up as long as possible!
Man, Ed meant so much to me growing up. Always reppin the kids who think for themselves and liked being who they were even if they were misfit skate punks. Even toward the end of his career he motivated me to keep pushing my limits on a skateboard. The guy even responds to my Instagram messages about his HB pier photos and toy machine stuff. Crazy awesome guy.
I'm so psyched about this channel and all the interviews you are/will be doing. Honestly, super refreshing and so nice to see legends I grew up looking up to see where they at now. Good times!
Ed is one of my fav skaters all time. Jamie is up there, too. At different times growing up my walls were plastered with their ads and pics from skate mags. What struck me listening to Ed is how much he doesn't realize his impact. I can sort've understand a different perspective as he lived it versus we watched it. But man, if I had a chance to sit down with Ed some day and tell him face to face how much he meant to my friends and me growing up, I don't know that I'd get through it without shedding some tears. Dude is straight up inspiring on many levels. I don't know that I've seen a more genuine person. He doesn't hide shit or act a certain way. He is who he is and lives on his terms. That in and of itself is why I love the dude. Thanks for the great interview, Jamie!
I'm enjoying it. You have an insight that is your own, experiences that are your own, and relationships with these individuals that are uniquely your own. I love it. I'm a skaterat that grew up watching all of you skate and am genuinely interested in these stories. I've worked in skate shops almost my entire life, and have now owned and operated my own skate shop for twenty years, and this June marks my 40th year of riding skateboards. I can attest to the fact that it gets harder and harder to skate , and it is hard to cope with waning skills when your whole life has been evolved around something you're so deeply passionate about. I find these stories inspiring. You just keep doing what you're doing Jamie. We love ya!
The demo talk got me so hyped. I think it was around ‘02, you and the Zero crew did a demo in Indianapolis at an ice rink. My friend, Buddy, turned his Civic into an across and down flat rail and Trainwreck was going off, just pure insanity. At that point, it was one of the rawest, grass roots demos that I had seen in a long time. This series is taking me back, man. Keep it up 👊🏻
I remember seeing Ed at the old HB park do an impossible over the center gap in 98. My best memory of skating as a kid. It was like seeing a celebrity after watching so many toy machine/zero videos.
The camera angles are soooo much better in this episode. Not constantly switching is a big improvement. The conversation in every episode, have been phenomenal!
You and Ed are my childhood inspiration in the middle of nowhere back in early 2000's where everything comes late (Europe, Poland). Two legends meet. Thanks! Keep killing it
I agree good day off for me as well now i get to watch "thrill of it all", on a tuesday lol !!! Ed, always admired his art and of course all the brand toy machine and their skate videos.. So far so good Chief im looking forward to whose next on the show
Met Ed at a toy machine demo in ~2006, they which was such a highlight for me all around, even moreso to film right next to their filmers. still have footage of Ed doing a noseblunt across & down a hubba at the san diego ymca park. Thoroughly enjoying these interviews & insights into these legends from a time when skating was my life. Keep the great work coming Jamie!
This is so good, and I'm only 45 minutes in. I started skating in '96, and mostly because I thought I could be as cool as the Toy Machine ads were. They were the craziest, the most fun, the most unpredictable things I'd ever seen and it just seemed like that's what skateboarding, and life in general, should be. When my neighbour got a copy of Welcome to Hell sometime in '97, I mean, none of us could believe our eyes... We went absolutely nuts. At like 10 or 11 at night, we snuck out to skate and eventually started manualing down the road with our tails on fire from rubbing alcohol, and just generally being idiots. It was absolutely "anything goes" and it was one of the very best teenage memories I made, and certainly the most free I'd ever felt at that point. We were all so amped from that video. There was a lot to get excited about in skateboarding then, but Toy Machine topped it for me (and still does, 22 years on). Thanks for this video, and for everything, guys.
Good work Mr.Thomas. Ed was the first pro I saw at my local skatepark in Omaha Nebraska. He did a back nose blunt down the hunba that changed my life lol
Skip pronier was my best friends older brother when i was growing up. I thought it was sooo cool we got to ho skate with such a legend! Growing up in hb in the 90s was the best!
Super real conversation, really rich content guys - every episode gets incrementally better. loved being a fly on the wall for this. Love Ed, Jamie and Toy Machine especially welcome/jump off days
Great interview, especially with your history together. Im a huge fan of Ed and have heard a lot of his stories from seeing/reading tons of his interviews over the years but still feel there was lots in this one he hadn't talked about before.
Two of my favorite skaters of all time. Such an awesome conversation. “Welcome to Hell” was the first skate video I ever bought. Just thinking about it makes me want to go skate.
Ed is one of the most adorable people in the world. Such a good person. Just recently bought his board and I already have one on my wall nex to Carroll and Reynolds. About to add Jamie also. These guys should never worry about putting their names on a board. People will forever keep buying their boards. People still buy Pele's jersey or Jordan jersey etc. When I walk into a skate shop I just look for their boards. When you did so much work you should simply be appriciated forever.
I love this. It has an element of something different from other podcasts. How? Included in the interviews is more of a conversation between two people who have a history and close personal friendships. That really comes across. Love it!
i am very impressed that you filmed this on the same day as the muska interview (i couldn’t tell at all) and i love the conversation style you’re going with. you are so transparent about everything, and that is very admirable and important for younger viewers to build their self-esteem up, because you show them that it is ok to be human and you don’t try to play up some facade - you are the man!
Really enjoyed this episode. I was hoping Ed would talk a little bit about TV Skateboards and his friendship with Mike Vallely. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks Jamie!
Wow! Best one yet. Keep up the good work, dudes. Had to pick up the special edition shirt for this one. Welcome to Hell was my first video and first exposure to non "Xgames" skateboarding as a kid, and my mind was blown. So glad to get to hear this discussion go down.
Wow, these keep getting better and better. What a great story from both of you, is cool that Jamie shares so many stories or key moments with the guests, it really helps to paint the picture and give context. Welcome To Hell 2, make it happen :D
That pretty much ruled. Thank you Jamie for stepping into this new arena, I'm looking forward to all the the future episodes. You and Ed are tight bros and loved the ease of the convo and you guys are stoked on each other. You both are essential dudes in the Book of Skateboarding. Keep up the good work!
Great interview and interesting point about the first person slow motion experience of skateboarding. I feel this might be the reason why it looks so natural to see ramped slowmotion in skatevideo's, it's expressing this experience.
Funny to hear the story about Ed and his friends skating Vision freestyle wheels, because as a coincidence I did the same in 1990'ish. Got a set of Vision freestyle wheels from a friend as a gift, which indeed in those days were way smaller than the normal wheels AND way harder too, even harder than ramp wheels (which I used before that, as I liked harder wheels). I remember some of my friends being a bit "whatta hell are those?!", when I started to skate 'em. But then fast forward two years and everyone rode super small and hard wheels. Those Vision freestyle wheels I had were super durable too, I actually skated two summers with them and they still weren't gone bad.
oh also! ed templeton was/is one of my favorite skaters all time. dude was always just killing it. glad to see he is still being cool and doing well. he had a great point near the beginning about trying to be a good role model and you can see he just an all around good dude which is something you love to see in skaters you look up to
Back 15-20 years ago, Ed and his homies would go around to all the OC parks on Christmas day and give away boxes of product to all the kids. Hell, he might still do it this day. The man is a true legend.

I skated at the little hb skate park at the highschool with the pirmind and two blocks you riped it up and then just took off you guys where my favorite skaters growing up it cool to hear you rap the good ol days haha
Ed Templeton is the man! Definitely made it a little easier for skateboarders to break the “cool guy” mold and be comfortable expressing their true selves!
Idol!
Welcome to Hell reunion tour would be so sick
Baaaaaarly
I really like how you bring the podcast to the guest.. cool to see these guys in their own environment.
Ed will always be synonymous with skateboarding. To me, Ed has always embodied skating and how it should be. I was in school as a skateboarder before it was cool, and I remember people clowning me for how I looked and my gear and shit. I also remember never being bummed on it because Ed Templeton thought it was rad, and Ed was infinitely cooler than the jocks who talked shit at my dumpy midwest highschool. Dude also has a killer style. I still watch his skate parts to get hyped or if I feel unmotivated.
Also, I will ALWAYS buy Templeton decks when I run across them. I hope he realizes that even if he never stepped on a board again, he will always be a skater, and always have the respect of those who know....and not many pros have that.
Very cool to hear about skaters getting older. Especially enjoyed the part about themental aspects of skating large rails.
I met Ed twice, once at a demo in Sweden and once at Sants in Barcelona. Both times he was super cool, humble and inviting. One of my all time favourite skaters, but for sure one of my all time favourite humans.
Nice. Mr.Thomas man it’s what so many people wanted for so long...
Ed is always open and thoughtful in interviews. Jamie made this one feel so natural and true to life.
Jamie, if you read this your pod cast is fucking awesome. I'm 31 and getting to know the history behind the skaters of my time is amazing. I couldn't imagine being 16 and having this kind of behind the scenes stuff in the early 2000s. Keep em coming please
I'm loving the new show, Jamie! It would be awesome to see a Welcome to Hell reunion show with everyone from the video together for a group interview.
My two all-time skateboarding heroes having a conversation that I can listen to! This is truly amazing, you guys have been an inspiration to me since the mid 90's and I still love that you're both doing awesome stuff to this day. ZERO & TOY MACHINE FOR LIFE!
ed cracks me up... I remember meeting both ed and vallely at a demo in new berlin wi.... loved this one..
Thomas with Ed! Unstoppable! The chief has had an impressive roster so far.
Best one yet. So glad they didn't cut it short. It would be sick if Jamie had first part on the next Toy Machine video! Thank you.
That was Awesome, loved Ed describing his departure from constant skating, nice to know other people feel the same pain when they know there body is done, from injury or old age. Great work Jamie, would love to see Ethan Fowler on here one day.

Even toward the end of his career he motivated me to keep pushing my limits on a skateboard. The guy even responds to my Instagram messages about his HB pier photos and toy machine stuff. Crazy awesome guy.
Jamie Thomas had the best nine club interview in my opinion. And I’m glad he’s getting in on the action.
I'm so psyched about this channel and all the interviews you are/will be doing. Honestly, super refreshing and so nice to see legends I grew up looking up to see where they at now. Good times!

You and Ed are my childhood inspiration in the middle of nowhere back in early 2000's where everything comes late (Europe, Poland). Two legends meet. Thanks! Keep killing it
Nice to see Ed! Feels like years since I've seen anything for this dude. One of my first favorite skaters!

Soooooooooooooo GOOD - could watch and listen to ED and Jamie all day long ...thanks for that!!!!
Toy Machine circa 1996
Iconic duo right here
Jamie this is awesome man. I enjoy having another show to look forward to.
These just keep getting better and better. Having the little video clips in there is an awesome addition. Keep up the great work Mr. Thomas.
Quite entertaining :) I like what you're doing and I think you're getting better at it. Good luck, can't wait for MOAR.
Great interview. This is becoming my new favorite show/podcast. Keep up he good work.
Jamie please do more podcasts!! Your better at it than you think you are!! Your a legend
Such an awesome conversation!! Would love to see jerry hsu on here, that would be amazing.
Good work Mr.Thomas. Ed was the first pro I saw at my local skatepark in Omaha Nebraska. He did a back nose blunt down the hunba that changed my life lol
I remember when they came through for the demo when Roberts was new.
Loving this podcast so far. I really like how every episode is set a different scene and just a casual conversation.
good job jamie, youre getting better at interviewing every episode... I love skateboarding and things like this remind me of how much i love it
thanks; on another note your profile photo is offensive & lame
I got really hopeful to hear a Jamie-Ed conversation on philosophy and religion after minute 1:29:28. This was such a good episode!
Skip pronier was my best friends older brother when i was growing up. I thought it was sooo cool we got to ho skate with such a legend! Growing up in hb in the 90s was the best!
Such a sweet, heartfelt, humble conversation between two legends. Loved it.
Super real conversation, really rich content guys - every episode gets incrementally better. loved being a fly on the wall for this. Love Ed, Jamie and Toy Machine especially welcome/jump off days
I absolutely love what you're doing. Thank you.
Omg I love Skaters so much. They are Everything to my adolescence.
I like when your questions feel intuitive. Hearing two legends talk about interesting stuff: nothing better!
Great interview, especially with your history together. Im a huge fan of Ed and have heard a lot of his stories from seeing/reading tons of his interviews over the years but still feel there was lots in this one he hadn't talked about before.
This is so rad! Keep em coming Chief.
Just finished the whole interview this was incredible thank you Jamie Thomas and Ed templeton for representing the true passion of skateboarding
Was very excited to hear you were going to be doing this. Old friends talking about skateboarding, nothing better.
Ahhhh yaaaaa. Thank you once again chief. My drive in to work was a good one because of this. ❤️👊🏻
What a good day off. New thrill of it all to top it off. Thank you Jamie and a big thanks to Ed for always being the shit.
Two of my favorite skaters of all time. Such an awesome conversation. “Welcome to Hell” was the first skate video I ever bought. Just thinking about it makes me want to go skate.

Tht back to the city contest story was amazin😊
Thank you for these awesome podcast and bring the reunion tour to Louisville, KY!

Great interview. Ed is the MAN!

This 2 guy's are Icon's of skateboarding glad to see them well and alive...🤙😎
Great interview and interesting point about the first person slow motion experience of skateboarding. I feel this might be the reason why it looks so natural to see ramped slowmotion in skatevideo's, it's expressing this experience.
Templeton you are the man, been watching your forever
These two guys help to change skateboarding in the 90s mad respect
Get Crob on for a serious interview of him for once aha
This is cool for Jamie to do these. I loved the one with muska. Just wished he talked less about himself
Forget the 9club... y’all forgetting the true OG of skate podcasts Anthony Shetler All I Need....
WTf we love jamie
Andy Snyder Yeah I get that vibe too. He likes to talk about himself you can tell. on nine club episode Jesus Christ
Haha crob great name
I like the ever changing backgrounds keep up with the show bro it's rad
Toy Machine was one of my favorite companies growing up because of the aesthetic. This was great.
Thank you, guys! This was a great talk :) Now everybody is waiting for the "Welcome to hell" tour ;)
Funny to hear the story about Ed and his friends skating Vision freestyle wheels, because as a coincidence I did the same in 1990'ish. Got a set of Vision freestyle wheels from a friend as a gift, which indeed in those days were way smaller than the normal wheels AND way harder too, even harder than ramp wheels (which I used before that, as I liked harder wheels). I remember some of my friends being a bit "whatta hell are those?!", when I started to skate 'em. But then fast forward two years and everyone rode super small and hard wheels. Those Vision freestyle wheels I had were super durable too, I actually skated two summers with them and they still weren't gone bad.
I’ve always dug on Ed’s skating and style. The early New Deal vids and Toy Machine stuff. I always wished his sections were longer.
This is so rad. Thanks for both of you doing this.
Brilliant brilliant, right from my era, in 48 and still skate.............
oh also! ed templeton was/is one of my favorite skaters all time. dude was always just killing it. glad to see he is still being cool and doing well. he had a great point near the beginning about trying to be a good role model and you can see he just an all around good dude which is something you love to see in skaters you look up to
This is sooo friggin cool and interesting.
Thank you for this Jamie.
Huge fan and greetings from Eastern Ontario.
Looking forward for the Rodney one!
This is awesome Jamie! You have really found your stride. Looking forward to the next one. All the best, Rich in Sweden.
This was very nice to watch and listen too! Loved the interview thanks Ed and Jamie!
Awesome video. I hope to see many more of these. Keep up the great work.
