haha lizard is such a rad dude. he saw me do a backside flip at the park I skate in Utah he clapped and whistled and I felt the same way like how they were talking about Tom Penny.
EE: "I started skating around '88 '89"
LK: "'88 '89? I started walking around then" xD hahaha
Erik and lizard king are the best

Skate Warehouse with those interviews we actually want to see!!
Fulfill the dream was the first video I ever bought too, I'm still skating at 31 and having as much fun as ever. Never give up on your dreams, keep skating and have fun.
The interview turned into a really deep conversation about where skateboarding is now compared to how it was then which was awesome to watch and listen to, especially coming from these two its sick
100% Agree with what they had to say about kids dropping skating back on and off and how its getting so commercialized now and about the internet thing ruining certain aspects of skating and patients. This was a really good interview with actual good content in it and not like other interviews that are a waste of time where they ask about the most meaningless shit. Ditto about Jamie Thomas being my favorite skater too. Keep it up Skate Warehouse, you guys definitely have a reason to be proud of your company. You guys are definite contributors to the skate community.
+Deven Dang Hell yea! Thanks dude, that means a lot to us and we really appreciate it. Thanks for the support and keep ripping!
Awesome video..Coming from a time with no skateparks where you have to put in work to find a dope spot I can totally relate to this. It feels like everything is so contrived these days. Bring the soul back to skateboarding! PLEASE!!
you said it homie,keep it raw ,the concrete in the streets must have blood on it.these 2 cats know just like you my brother.peace..
People that don't skate can't understand hope unique these guys are. Mad love gentleman.
awesome interview
respects, erik is def way chill and knows whats good
Great interview.
So many videos get out pumped out constantly I think that's the reason we get anxious and impatient waiting for a video to be released. Baker 4 is going to be so good everyone will forget how long it took to come out just like the deathwish video or plan b true.
Chris Grieve do u still agree with this message
Spot on ellington, footage should savoured!
I couldn’t agree with them more. I still remember Beagle/Furby/Lizard/Theotis giving me a ride too La Canada High and skating the 11 and beagle helped me get a line. I’m on 29 and so much has changed. I love that there’s skateparks everywhere but I miss the exclusivity of skating back in the early 2000s even up until 2012 it all changed so quickly. Instagram kinda killed skate videos. I have so many good memories I still remember how much I loved living in La with so many good spots and loved being able too run into skaters I looked up too at random spots.
Dude whaaat thats a badass story if true. Definitely a memory
dope interview
"Now you can be a ONCE A WEEKER!!!" hahaha classic
good to see them all grown up
The thing Erik said about patience at the end... Absolutely true! That's why so many scooter garbage shit is out there.... those kids want EVERYTHING, and NOW... Who has days, or weeks to learn a goddamn tre flip..... I can learn a tailwhip on that shit in one day.... They want everything already finished, and they want it now! No patience for struggling and fighting for something like you have to when you want to see progress of yourself in skating. And yeah, full movies are a lot better than video parts. Ordering pizza, bring some beers, and watch the new baker video or sth...
Well said.
good interview. king is off the wall and elks is just chillen. king you ever gonna change pants my man. damnnn. haha.
Bravo Mr. Ellington. Thank you.
Such a great interview.
great video, I've met both of these guys and they are the most nicest and coolest dudes!
+Keagan Okeefe seriously!
Yeah I met them separately but it was awesome cause they're my favorite skaters.
great interview
+brotherbacon thanks!
Fuck, I'm only 24 but the first video I ever saw was cataclysmic abyss. Best shit ever
i always play as lizard king when i play skate 3
Jamie Thomas is still my favorite skater of all time too LK. Rock on. 1984 = My first ollie... Crazy to me to think I've been skating longer then Ellington, I still remember him coming up/turning pro and I;ve always loved his skating. LK is a badass as well, stoked to see them together.
These two look so healthy and happy now that they sobered up.
do more interviews!!
+NegroMelon got some more on the way ;) check out our blog for more! blog.skatewarehouse.com
I see what these guys are talking about. I sometimes feel guilty for skateboarding because it’s like this is their’s and it is something special to them. But I can’t stop🤣 so the very least I can do is buy their products, say thank you, and remember the people that inspired me to keep skateboarding.
This video is the best
+Kari Kumar Glad you like it!
What pants are those lizard king is always wearing?
Aaaaaamen to all of that!
I completely agree about the internet and the video part thing man... 100% the internet can take the value out of so many things we hold near and dear like skateboarding.. In our day if you couldnt figure the tricks out or didnt know about them all together you had to go and find it out there in the real world and put effort into doing the things we loved... just to be a good skater in my day you had to hope you could find older skaters who knew what they were doing and you could learn from them and the mags bc there was no internet there was no videos yet.. so we had to use our imagination and actually be invested in skateboarding to actually get good at it bc it was so rare to see unless you were lucky enough to live near or in a city where things got around and ppl heard about it..bc other wise you couldnt find any new info.. it was tough for awhile but that didnt hold us back... now a days you can learn how to do any trick at the drop of a hat and have it basically done for you so it just takes away the passion and love behind it
I fucking love lizard king he's hilarious
great interview haha
+OVSkatemedia thanks!
ha. being 30 & from Long Beach in soCal, skating was everything between ages 11 to 14. I just remember Sorry & Baker Bootleg/2g coming out & sitting at my local shop(United Boardshop) watching them & Fulfil the Dream constantly until I was able to get the $ to buy them... 411 vids along w/those & the zero & girl stuff; 're watching them dozens of times. Baker 2g I'd seen fcking 400 times or more. miss those days.
wise thoughts from Ellington re: the Internet, same problem with music and MP3s / streaming
Erik Ellington is a fucking legend
i grew up around jon dickson he was skating for the indoor sk8 park we all went to. he was sick af even back then
Jon Dickson is a beast! He came through SW a few weeks ago and he was super chill and easy to work with.
@@SkateWarehouse right on dude absoloutly. MB Warp in woodstock illinois it was backl in the day i was lucky enough to skate alongside jon and chaz throughout the years theyre the type who are so commited u knew they would succeed. i remember everyone was super stoked when he got onto birdhouse this is forever ago . good times and yeah dude sick ass skateboarder
crazy.. fulfill the dream was myfirst video. had a muska board and that steve Olson part was my shit to!
someone please tell me what kind of pants lizard is wearing
I agree Ricky
Much respect to both these dudes. Ellington is an old man now lol
Erik Ellington's part in Zero video Misled Youth. 👍

LIZARD "distracting pants" KING
FULLFILL THE DREAM!!!
Such a classic!
lizard and rhett could be fucking brothers with his beard and hair like that haha

I got ellington trucks!!!!!! Support erik
Always! He's the man!
@@SkateWarehouse i want to meet him in person someday. He looks rad
I agree skateboarding is about traveling with your team, having a good time, n street skating some crazy obstacles. Now days it's all park footage and people trying to force style into there tricks that's clearly not natural to them or the way they skate ...=/
3:49 bro they r hammers
age has nothing to do with it. its all mindset
Fuck yeah Erik! Physical media all day give me some tangible art.
"got my new shoe the shredder, named after my dog, he got hit by a car, he was tight" lmfO
The only thing this is missing is a joint.
I’m like a 3-4 times a weeker hahah
There is no life other than skateboarding, once a week, ahhhh, that's drowning.
and ragdoll?
Nice interview bro l growing watch public domain lee lol Barbie wow and no intermediate for that time now the kid run with camara crazy just run boy have fun
Skateparks in every corner? There mustn't be any corners where I live.
enzo amore
3:49 - Lizard is shootin shots at Jim Greco. Thats cold son. I seem to come across a lot of bad shit about Greco. But idk why
It's gunna be my first week as a homeless skater any tips
Sick to hear about tom penny. I asked Jamie Thomas the same thing about tom after transworld's 'video radio' came out but he had some dumb answer.
Lizards voice sounds like Muskas
Seeing this a few years later if you think about it they swapped hair style
Fuckin Steve Olson
Goes by the name Crazy Monk or something now, really bad freestyles about aliens, look him up it's great.
Is lizard wearing a Supreme shirt?
No it's supra
+Christian Fletcher are you fucking blind?
+truenigga it's supra dude
Pause at 24 you can see its supreme
it was supreme
In agreement with alot of what they said, the internet has desensitized skateboarding. Thrasher puts on skateboarding you want to see, its selective. I don't see harm though in people trying skateboarding, appreciating and having an interest, you don't always need a passion for it.There needs to be less influence on instagram or youtube popularity and just enjoying it for what it is.
Uncle wiggly? Wasn't that like a cartoon rabbit thing?
Rewatch the video and watch lizard king rub his beard.
I thought Lizard King had a daughter? So they all live in a car together or he doesn't live with the mother?
+Rodger Rabbit Did nuge finally kick him out then? i thought he lived w him... but yea he does have a daughter
JLW K I wouldnt be surprised if he kicked him out. Lizard must be screwing up again or something.
+Rodger Rabbit i think that was a joke
Add a public comment...
you're the best to ever damn do it Mr. Doug Johnson , I love you.
Lives in his car being a pro?
2001
hookup
Thank god a real interview instead of Jeremy Washedout for once.
Krinkity. Lizard rules
Coke.
This interview was sponsored by the word "like".
Retirement is when your 66 somthn... 24 goddamn. What 2 do. Spend your 35.gs?
Who the Fuck is lizzard king
its alot less fun to skate, not the actual action just the people are much more focused on being the best than having fun which is just kinda a shame.
+TheBzg07 dont forget the skate clicks and judging/trash talking on people who dont skate or dress exactly like them lol. those types of skaters are all over these days
@@epicpurevids I started skating in england when I was around 10. I went to the skatepark once with an American accent and opened my mouth once and got trash talked. As a sensitive kid, I never went back and I didn't pick skating it up again until I was 17.
duche bags.
