Ed Templeton is easily one of the biggest influences in my creative life.  Whether he is inventing tricks that have changed skateboarding forever, pulling out his bruised radballs in Welcome To Hell (0:28), painting or drawing intense shit, shooting stunning and captivating photos, or shredding your fucking face off via his skateboard- the dude is always on one…a fucking good one at that.  He has EARNED every single one of his talents- he wasn’t just “blessed” with them; making Ed one hardcore, persevering motherfucker.  Ed Templeton- I love you.  You’re a true inspiration, no matter what you’re doing.  Thank you.
