Ed Templeton #26.



"Everything up until 1991 then only certain things."

This is a Transworld poster from 1992. The poster was on my wall for a long time, hence the discoloration on the top right quarter. It's a little odd to see Ed wearing huge jeans, but they were the style at the time. Also of note are the Zero Twos paired with Vision socks. He would have been on TV with Mike Vallely and a couple years out from starting Toy Machine. I watched Ed's part in Toy Machine's Live last night. He mixes up his classic tricks with flatland switch flip tricks, which is interesting to see. There's also Ethan Fowler's part, where you get to see Ethan evolve from talented skate rat to the refined style one tends to associate with him.

Enjoy your retirement, Daniel Shimizu.

When I watch old footage, it's weird seeing skinny Ed Templeton. I'm so used to seeing the middle-aged, heavyset version.
