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

"Now you can be a ONCE A WEEKER!!!" hahaha classic

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.

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

Skate Warehouse with those interviews we actually want to see!!

respects, erik is def way chill and knows whats good

People that don't skate can't understand hope unique these guys are. Mad love gentleman.

Fuck, I'm only 24 but the first video I ever saw was cataclysmic abyss. Best shit ever

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!!

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.

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.

i always play as lizard king when i play skate 3

awesome interview

Great interview.

Spot on ellington, footage should savoured!

These two look so healthy and happy now that they sobered up.

good interview. king is off the wall and elks is just chillen. king you ever gonna change pants my man. damnnn. haha.

dope interview

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...

good to see them all grown up

Bravo Mr. Ellington. Thank you.

I fucking love lizard king he's hilarious

Erik Ellington is a fucking legend

great interview

great video, I've met both of these guys and they are the most nicest and coolest dudes!

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.

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.

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.

do more interviews!!

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

Much respect to both these dudes. Ellington is an old man now lol

great interview haha

Erick looks like a skate3 character

2:04 LOL

Ellington is one clever guy man

This video is the best

crazy.. fulfill the dream was myfirst video. had a muska board and that steve Olson part was my shit to!

What pants are those lizard king is always wearing?

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

2 of the dopest cats right here,BAKER/DEATHWISH4LIFE/ITSAFAMILYTHING,LOVETOTHEHOMIES,NO MERCY.....................

wise thoughts from Ellington re: the Internet, same problem with music and MP3s / streaming

born with skate vids like 411 vm. fuck internet

lizard and rhett could be fucking brothers with his beard and hair like that haha

Awsome bros here erik you da man 🚹😀😀

age has nothing to do with it. its all mindset

someone please tell me what kind of pants lizard is wearing

Erik Ellington's part in Zero video Misled Youth. 👍

LIZARD "distracting pants" KING

I agree Ricky

3:49 bro they r hammers

true miss watchin sk8 videos at the sk8 shop

"got my new shoe the shredder, named after my dog, he got hit by a car, he was tight" lmfO

Fuck yeah Erik! Physical media all day give me some tangible art.

The only thing this is missing is a joint.

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 ...=/

did we cross the danube with some sf high rise hormel peppercini eater ahah .. fucking man gonna habe to get in to it .

There is no life other than skateboarding, once a week, ahhhh, that's drowning.

I’m like a 3-4 times a weeker hahah

FULLFILL THE DREAM!!!

I got ellington trucks!!!!!! Support erik

and ragdoll?

Lizards voice sounds like Muskas

Skateparks in every corner? There mustn't be any corners where I live.

Seeing this a few years later if you think about it they swapped hair style

It's gunna be my first week as a homeless skater any tips

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

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

Fuckin Steve Olson Goes by the name Crazy Monk or something now, really bad freestyles about aliens, look him up it's great.

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.

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.

Rewatch the video and watch lizard king rub his beard.

Uncle wiggly? Wasn't that like a cartoon rabbit thing?

Is lizard wearing a Supreme shirt?

I thought Lizard King had a daughter? So they all live in a car together or he doesn't live with the mother?

Lives in his car being a pro?

Add a public comment...

Thank god a real interview instead of Jeremy Washedout for once.

2001 hookup

This interview was sponsored by the word "like".

Krinkity. Lizard rules

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.

Who the Fuck is lizzard king

Coke.
