Ed Templeton #32.
"Can you focus this close? I must be disgusting."
So begins Ed's part in Emerica's This Is Skateboarding video from 2003. Set to the noise rock sounds of Butter 08, the Tempster delivers a section full of his classic tricks. There are noseblunt slides, lipslides, Smith grinds, feebles, a couple impossibles, boardslides, and 180 nosegrinds. Ed even hucks a frontside flip down some stairs. The above frontside bluntslide is in there, too. The ender is a huge lipslide down a handrail that ends with Ed breaking the tail on his board after rolling away successfully.
Note: Butter 08 was a brief project of Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori from Cibo Matto, Russell Simins of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Rick Lee of Skeleton Key, and artist Mike Mills.
The frontside bluntslide picture is by Dave Swift.
