- Ed Templeton has been a super-obvious choice for Epicly Later'd since the early days of the show. Maybe that's why it took so long for us to do it. The man is like a skate historian-one benefit of his relatively straight-edge lifestyle is that he has what we like to call "sober memory." He can recall everything from his life growing up in Huntington Beach, California, onward. He also had no boundaries in terms of how personal he would go for our interview. This episode was a big one for us. Enjoy!

![[UNCUT] “บอสณวัฒน์” ลากไส้!! ใครหนุนหลัง "แม่ตั๊ก ป๋าเบียร์" I คนดังนั่งเคลียร์ I 30 ก.ย. 67](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QlD7mU2KKRk/mqdefault.jpg)
Man for a guy that had such a history of abuse, poverty to make it as one of the best street skaters ever and to continue operating Toy Machine is just friggin epic to me. So many "better" board brands have gone defunct but Ed kept pushing this weird company with like a blood sucking monster and today they have some of the best skaters ever, even better than Thomas, Muska, Bam and so on back in the day. I know that I have absolutely no relation to Ed but I have to say I am kind of proud of him, and I know its weird of me saying this but I`m so glad he found his bliss in life and that Toy Machine hasn`t died.
I cant remember what video it was were he went nuts with his toons but man it was CRAZY.
@@BikePackingPleb Toy Machine: Jump Off a Building? I think that had a bunch of insane animations... I had the VHS. Getting old as Hell.
Jason Dill is the dude who nonchalantly spills your biggest secrets mid conversation
jason dill is the man. i remember him from skate 1 when giovannia reda was like be careful he's a weirdo lol.
Growing up in Huntington i van confirm two things said here. 1 he was called ollie Ed. The guy i heard it from said they made fun of him cuz all he would do was ollie.
2 his mom was a sweet lady. She saw me skating by myself once at a little kids park where I was skating on a curb and she asked if I ever heard of him. I said of course and she said that was her son.
A GOOD dad is an important part of one's life whether people want to acknowledge it or not. Seeing those old boards and videos remind me of my old skate days 86-92, here in my home town 99% of businesses were closed on Sunday so we had free rein of all these parking lots man it was fun!
Does anyone find it crazy so many pro skaters came out of the same group of neighborhood kids?
Jovan TrendMaker Yeah, I see what you mean but with bands it's only natural that a collective thing would form from a natural group. My impression of skating is that success is totally individual- Ed could do very little for his friends when he got signed yet many all individually became pro skater.
marudoethiopia it was a magic time and place,,
i grew up there. it was trippy who u came across.
No you push each other to get better if everyone in you group is shit at something you most likely are too and won’t get a lot better then them
A combo of what marudo and what dave said. Its always like this.
I'm glad Vice continues to upload Epicly Later'd videos even though they don't get nearly the amount of views the other videos typically do.
Fuck veiws g skate 4 life
Most definitely. But in all seriousness Who cares about the views? As long as it makes the viewers happy
man i miss skateboarding. the quiet reflection of life hanging out at a 3 set outside of some random park or school. drinking beer with friends. having lifes problems drowned out and distracted by the focus of not breaking my ass on the landing. those were good times
Awesome work Vice. Fuck the haters.
I say epicy later'd with Jason Lee
i hear he's a scientologist now that could be an interesting episode
I read somewhere that he wants heavy compensation to do an interview so they couldn’t get him. Don’t know if that’s true or not just sharing.
I read somewhere he wised up and ditched the Scientology creeps!@chaff inch
@@bondalero0074 yea he ditched it started stero sound agency I think its called
anybody that was skateboarding in the 90's will understand the importance of this guy! just watch the movie "welcome to hell" and try not to get your mind blown ;)
And some of the early 2000's, he's very important to skateboarding.
I love the epicly later'd series
Cool story! Why would anyone thumbs down this video?
Bitter freestyle skaters. "Ed killed freestyle man!!"
YO HOW TF DID I WATCH THIS RIGHT AFTER “SOAP OR DIE”😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
Ed is one of those amazing, singular souls that is no less human in his greatness and no less great for his weaknesses... I am always pleased to "see" him and stoked I came across this :)
The 50-50 grind to 360 varial out that Templeton pulled at the end of his part in Welcome to Hell remains one of the best tricks done on a skateboard, imo
Damn this comments been up for 9 years and nobody told you that that’s not what trick he did
He did a 50 50 to front bigspin out
These Epicly Latere'd are the best thing on TH-cam. I grew up idolizing these guys and never knew any of their stories.
si many british skaters wanted to live in so cal in the heart of skateboarding , i wore my copy of Ban This out freeze framing trying to work out the tricks , really happy for Ed that hes a successful photographer and made it after a hard life , his photos and books are great and like the vid shows him and that generation really pushed skateboarding forward , street shredding , steps , huge flips , its pure athletic genius , a true sk8 god ! ED I SALUTE YOU !
8:53 being from southern CA and a skateboarder in the early 90s this makes perfect sense to me. I imagine that people that aren't from the US or that time will see this as weird gibberish.
brilliant!!! toy machine was one of my favorite skate companies back in the 90´s (when i used to skate)... glad to see ed.. hope his leg recovers.. thanx vice for such a flashback!!
I know absolutely nothing about skating, so it's really fascinating to see some of its origins and culture
I never saw welcome to hell until about 6 months to a year ago, and his part in there made me start skating again.
I grew up around Huntington Beach and we'd always seed Ed killing at the now R.I.P. HB Skate Park in the early 90s. Fond memories of everyone just stopping skating and just watching Ed in awe during sundown at that park.
I remember watching The New Deal's "Useless Wooden Toys" over and over again, to the point that the tape almost melted. No matter how tired and beat up I was, I'd watch these tapes and I was ready for more.
Big up to Ed. He was an inspiration, and still is.
I remember my Toy Machine Monster shirt. I bought that shirt because I saw Ed wearing it. Ahhh, I miss mid to late 90's street skating. Since I lived in Mississippi, there weren't too many of us. This was before the internet, so most had no clue the impact skateboarding was having. There were only 3 skateboarders at my high school, and only because I got them into it. They were long-time friends, so they followed me.
I wish epicly laterd still made videos!
I loved Ed. He was like me. Lanky and awkward but he was so skilled. He gave guys like me the motivation to push ourselves during an era that was amazing. I spent weeks learning impossible and pressure flips in the late 80’s. Early 90’s. My down fall was I never wanted to leave that era. I loved the old raw new age and feared the tech movement and tiny boards and wheels. I’ll never forget my first Schmitt stixx board and my sma board. Though I did love the black label era.
8:55 this is why i love jason dill
Awesome. One of my favorite guys in the skate industry. Hope this is a long series of Epicly Later'd with him!
I find myself watching Welcome To Hell every couple of years and Ed's part just gets better and better. I used to just skip it to get to Thomas' part (and the slam section) sooner.
eds skate shoe from 98/99 was the BEST...i wish they'd make a re issue of that
"I was like scared and happy" lmao
I played the shit out of 'Skate or Die' on the NES as a kid. Where's my documentary?
They're working on it man lol
They should have made this a 40 parter. GOD DAME SON!
Dill spilling all the tea lol. Templeton’s real last name, Estrada leaving skateboarding to become a gangster
One of my heros in when I was a teen skating. Loved his boards and style. Great post.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was another excellent video presented to you by the one and only VICE.
God I love this channel.
Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait to watch part 2.
The skating stuff is fine, but they constantly push commie ideology, and divisive identity politics, demonizing all conservatives who have a differing opinion.
thanks for the series, was a nice change of pace! :D
Each to their own, but what is there not to like about this video? 48 People must have dreamed about being a pro skater and couldn't cut it.
Porntube
Such a cool guy, hes a huge inspiration to my skating and photography. Makes me wanna not be afraid to take pictures of people on the street
I recently met Ed on HB Pier a few months back. He's a chill ass dude
Epicly later'd Jim Greco ??? what you reckon vice ?
I had that same green PS Stix Danger deck just like the one at 8:12 when i got my first board in 88 or 89.
If you get pissed at someone for taking a photo of you, do you also get pissed when people just look at you? Cause basically they just captured the moment they saw you, what's it to be mad about.
Taking a picture can be considered an invasion of privacy, depending on the photo's use. These people don't know whether they're gonna be on the front page of some high-traffic website as the subject of ridicule or part of some stalker's photo album. They are most definitely not the same. Are you always this simple-minded?
+Lawrence Han The funny thing is many people who have a problem with this probably have a Facebook.
wow, i didn't know ed went through all of this stuff
@10:12 Damn, I forgot how smooth and effortless Ray Barbee was on a deck.
Great episode. Thanks for this. I remember seeing Ed on a Sk8 TV episode way waaaay back in the early 90's.
Favorite videos on Vice.. Thanks!
Oh my fucking god this is right where I live, I remember seeing a camera crew walking around with this guy! Nice to see my town in a VICE doc :)
9:00 “he might as well have fucking levitated” lmao
Great..
From hustling stickers to shooting Leica
Cool story!
One of childhood hero. Jason Lee, Guy mariano, Ed and many more. Hat down!!
this was awesome so glad you did this
Jeremy Klein episode please!
that would be prtty sick....ide like to see a rick howard one .....so many...endless
Right on man good to see this Ed's been around and really pushed the street skate shit a lot like Lee and Barbee I looked up to those dudes from watching all of their videos when I was a little fukker
WE LOVE YOU ED!!!
Back in the 90's Ed Templeton's part in Welcome to Hell just inspired a whole new level of skating for me and my buddies. We even switched from wearing the dumb super baggy jeans to rocking Dickies that rode just above the top of the shoe haha. I hope they cover that Toy Machine video in Part 2 :)
I skated with this dude at centennial skatepark in santa ana. Back on 02. Solid dude!
All I remember of Ed Templeton was him in Welcome to Hell doing sick boardslides and his big 58 mm wheels when small wheels were the trend. Also him wearing trucker hats way before they were cool. He was just weird.
Ed is super chill, even at the LBC premiere Suffer the Joy when shit was hectic he kept his cool. Luckily I had also gone to the Good and Evil premiere a few years earlier, met him there as well. Skate on, Ed.
Dill talking about Mark Gonzales levitating is so good
Is it just me or have the comments on youtube recently getting worse(didn't think that was possible)? Im pretty sure its the new generation that thinks their likes will change the world.#Bobsarmyiswhack
It really is getting worse lol. Many of the viewers on TH-cam have big egos and love to push negative energy into other people's opinions because it makes them feel better to blame their problem on someone else, rather than their selves. Sometimes people say crap to me like that I'm an ignorant fool who is the scum of the earth, when all I do is joke about something or present my opinion. It's fun to respond to their hostility and rage with jokes and positive emotions because I think it helps me learn how to speak better when dealing with people that try to challenge me. People on the internet don't know who they are talking to and this can create ignorant assumptions. Many people on the internet contribute to narcissism and do anything for "likes".
stonerKYLE951 You are so right and things like facebook,likes and even money are perfect for narcissism. I recently watched a Getting Doug with High and he was calling the negative comments "admitting negativity" lol.
Laura Lee
That made me laugh :D
Laura Lee This is SO true. Imagine if everyone on TH-cam would try to make others laugh instead of making them look bad in order to make themselves feel superior..
Correct on all fronts. I dare post an opinion on TH-cam videos any more. The majority seem to want to enter into a pointless and never ending argument and become abusive. TH-cam is their place to vent their antisocial tendencies from the safety of their homes.
Can't wait for the rest!
Ed so much respect for you..
I was just like “Hey Don come check this out” then I pulled an impossible down the 4 stair and he was like “...Fuuuccckkk”
please make Epicly Laterd with Stefan Janoski!!
where part 3????????????????????????????
What camera is he taking pictures with at the beggining?
can anyone tell what kind of compact camera he's using?
He is right, my parents were crazy, i just had to leave the house and skateboarding found me and i skated for about 14 years, late 80s all through the 90s.
Went from riding Cab to Barby, to Lee then the floodgates opened we had shops giving us boards.
That painting behind Don Brown @4:00 is dope.
Wen u got a group of guys with the same dream it's bound to come true
ed your rad. a loved your skating from as early as I can remember. Cool flick. best.
Great video!
FUCKING excellent! i need more, where is part 2?
mustache guy looks like jason lee
i grew up buying ed templetons shoes and watching dvs skate more with jason dills part love them both forever!
He resonates with my soul
I'm gonna get an old school board and practice that freestyle stuff, thats dope!!
Everytime I look at the thumbnail for this video i keep thinking its some guy dancing...
Anyone know what that red and white hat Ed has on in all the old photos is?
Dill, "I was like scared and happy and like freaked out all at the same time".
That's exactly how I felt when I saw my first ollie.
Ed was one of the first to do front foot impossible on street board I remember that.
This was just pure awesome!
Hunington beach is too far south for me in old age but back in my youth it was still there.
wasn't rosecrans just down the street from alabama?
Epicly Later'd is the best. Thanks Patrick.
I used to think Ed Templeton was kinda scary growing up. I was totally wrong.
Thats kinda weird, why tho ?
@@jimmyberry4451 honestly I have no idea. I think it was the Europe 99 vhs I had, where he looks super intense. In my defense, most pro skaters scared me because I grew up in a time where the skatepark was a great place to get your ass kicked. SO glad that stuff is over now.
@@eliquate ohh okay gotcha that makes sense, yeah ed is kinda wierd in that way where he looks a certain way but speaks really chill haha
Do they have a series like this for BMX?
Looking like best epicly later'd yet
I love you edd cant wait to work with you!
10:34 WHAT SHOES ARE THOSE?
Love Ed and Toy Machine will always be my fav skate company \m/
You don’t understand the second I saw Gonz it was like oh my god that’s Gonz! Then it was like that that was Gonz? And then I look over and he was Gonz ...
So good
fav episode
Soo rad templeton kills it toymachine for life !
lol @ "360 ollie flip" 10:56
Great vid!!!
I remember when I learned how to impossible when I was 10 years old then I did it down a 3 stair I was super stoaked!
