Honestly one of the most genuinely nice dudes I have ever met. He stayed at Grant Park in Chicago at a Deathwish demo long after the rest of the team left to make sure every single kid got an autograph. I then had some magazine covers I wanted to get signed but my car was so far away from the park that when I got back with the mags the whole team was gone besides Ellington. He was like no worries I got u just walk with me back to the team van and I’ll have all those dudes sign their mag covers u have of them (after he signed his cover). We then walked thru the city for like a half hour all the way to this hotel where the team van was and he was just so down to earth. He talked to me about his struggles with addiction and how he overcame it bc I also deal with addiction. Then we got back to the DW team van and they all signed my mags and I chopped it up with them for a while. I’ll never forget how kind he was to me, I wish more ppl in this world were like Erik it wud be a far better place!
@@klg9239 I don’t think he full on slit his throat.... Plus ppl do a lot of shit when they are wrapped up in the terrible world of addiction! Doesn’t mean it defines who they are as a person... My brother who passed a few years back from Alcoholism did so much shit that wasn’t the real him I grew up with bc of alcohol. It hijacked his brain and turned him in to a completely dif person. Just like they say don’t hate the player hate the game well I say don’t hate the person hate the drug
sooooo if you are drunk or on drugs there’s no consequences for your actions? Lmao I ain’t mad at the dude but come on man....I could see scrapping with the shit talking dude but just sucker punching him with a pint glass is pure bitch shit. Sincerely, a current alcoholic
@@klg9239 Not saying that at all... There was consequences for his actions and he used it as a wake up call and got sober shortly after... I wasn’t speaking on any of his past actions I was just simply stating how nice he was to me when I met him. Don’t know what he was like back then but he seems to be in a good place now I highly doubt he wud do that in his 2020 sober mindset is all I was saying. I would have to know the whole story and what was going on too the dude cudda had it coming...
@@Jake_IBS haha same, Welcome to Hell was the first skate video I ever saw and that was the ground zero for my obsession and the shaping of my mind/tastes.
I turn 30 in 2 days and have been struggling terribly with alcohol for nearly a decade. I skateboarded 8+ hrs a day from 11-20 and it was my life. I've tried various hobbies over the last few years to no avail. Recently bought a skateboard and as tough as it's been it's the only thing helping. I binge watched this whole 'Out There' series tonight and to see almost all of my old idols (and new) basically get sober has really made me glad that I publicly told my friends that I'm going sober after my birthday before even seeing this series.
He had killer frontside flips back in the day. To see him do it switch just AS clean if not cleaner at this day in age, is simply straight talent and passion
Holy shit! I remember skating with this dude back in Mesa, AZ with friends Chad Uptain, Dennis, Zac Matthews, Matt Wilson. Erik had a friend Esao that was f*%&ing good too. We were the older bad role models back then. Glad that you made out alright there Erik. You made it man. You went pro got old and you're still skating. Congratulations on the family and all. Awesome!
livelyupmyself1 tbh I heard he used to be an asshole back in baker and deathwishes hay day when they were really popular , same thing with Jamie Thomas
Ellington has always been my favorite skateboarder.. I met him once at a bar in Hollywood.. the Baker crew was there as well. I was wearing some dumb looking panda beany shit on my head and when I went inside the bar greeting all the other pros figgy kind of looked at me like I was some dumb ass and no offense to figgy, that shit I was wearing on my head was whack.. but Ellington walked in while that was happening and told the dude, "Hey this is Omar, he's chill.." Thanks Erik. I always remember that🙏
I’ll never forget at the Supra demo in New Zealand damn near 10 years ago. Outa nowhere I just hear “Hey how’s it going?” And it was Erik just coming up to say hi and introduce himself to a mate and I. I was so blown away and felt so star struck that I was way to awkward to even talk to him properly, I’m sure he felt it and left very shortly after 😂 That experience definitely made me realise that Erik is the fucking man
The shot at 8:03 makes me feel some kind of way. Something about seeing a legend at his roots, and imagining all the real-life shit that happened in those walls with some of the raddest people on the planet walking up and down those steps and in and out of that door in the '90s. It's just so. fucking. rad.
Always nice to see guys who maybe partied a little bit too much coming out of it alright and realizing life is too short to just be drunk 24/7. (not a teetotaler by any means, but at some point you realize you just can't keep up what you did in your 20s for your life. It'll catch up to you.) Having kids and hitting a certain age is a big wake up call for most, it was for me. Glad he avoided jail and glad he's enjoying life and enjoying his kids/family. Erik seems like an honest, thoughtful dude.
Thank you for making this. As one of the old guys Erik was talking about at the start of the video, I can honestly say that we need more content like this in the mix. Love looking back on the good old days.
I met Erik @ Scott Carpenter Skatepark in Boulder Colorado 2003-4 he was very genuine and down to Earth we talked about books, Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman etc. He is a really nice guy and looks like he has taken sobriety seriously and is maturing into a responsible young man. Namaste’
Jeez. I feel like Ellington’s dedication to skateboarding and the filter he uses to look at the world though is nearly monastic. It is a very zen approach to the sport and life.
Man I grow up with Mark Water in Orange county he was my neighbor and grateful for the things he did for use the kids in the neighbor. Mark Water was skate manager for Emerica and es( R.I.P Tony es team manger ). I had the chance to meet Eric all the time ( Emerica Masion in Hollywood hills or LA Hills )and big Inspiration in my childhood. Eric gave a couple pro board and couple of his shoes that weren't out yet to me .That were still working on at the time .Also everyone I got to meet and be around( Pro Skater) . We use to go out on skate trip in the team Van they had sole Technologies. It was a dope child hood and i totally get where Eric coming from.
Omg the Emerica Ellington 1s black and white I never got to buy them when they came out was to broke as a kid and I still think about this shoe ...was a late 90s early 2000s skater me and one buddy still reminisce about old shoes Kenny Anderson adios Reynolds 1 and 2s koston 1s Ali boulala Osiris kreeper Ellington 1s
I love ellington.. I would buy his whole collection of emericas too lol.. only shoe I wore from age 11 when they came out to when I couldn't find my size anymore.. love the dip.. even bought multiple pairs of vettes after he left... im working on getting sober but its literally the hardest trick there is.. he is inspiring tho..all those guy I looked up to im glad to say I can still look up too this many years later
Love this guy. The dude was with the Supra team when they went to the Philippines and he was connecting with everybody and really respectful. Took pictures with everyone and was very down to try the Philippines' number one beer! Hats off to you Erik! A legend you are sir!
I met Ellington at a deathwish demo when I was 13 years old and he Introduced himself to me and shook my hand like I wouldn’t have any idea who he was. Then we talked about skating the park we were at and entertained all my nerdy questions about the baker videos or his zero times, and I ended up trading him a hand board that I had for some deathwish merch that he was handing out 😂.Not only one of the most humble pros I’ve met in my life, but genuinely one of the nicest humans I’ve ever interacted with. I’ll always remember that!! Then he patted me on the back and said I’ll see you around bud. One of my favorite memories ever! Peace to you and your family Erik!! God bless! 🙌🙌
Haven't seen Julius since he was a baby time flies I'm glad to see Erik Ellington and his family after 17 years he's a great man skateboarder and father God bless them and wish them the best
It’s so cool to see people get sober and live a better life and be happy. I’ve been off heroin for over 2 years. Best decision I ever made. Ellington is an inspiration.
I love seeing how far Ellington has come, dude deserves everything he has. That being said, the craziest thing out of this whole video has to be seeing a picture of Strickland. First heard of him over 20 years ago and this is the first time I’ve seen his face.
Proactive in recovery. I have a new found respect for this man. Gonna go buy some merch to contribute. Keep spreading the good news brother Erik Ellington!⚓💀🧐🃏
Erik has always been an inspiration to me i grew up in anchorage Alaska so i find it really cool we came from the same place. he has taught me that you can always change your life for the better.
I'm a fan of Erik since I was 12 Yr old, putting magazine adds on my notebooks, I mimic his style, long haired, pd tatt on my arm, my friends always said I looked like him, I just a fan of his style, personality, skating, I'm not a fan o many pros or famous people has I'm at Erik. Amazing documentary.
@@puertousbmonkey I have one that's why I exist. Idk what your point is tbh. If you have mental health problems it's okay but don't bring negativity out of nowhere. Weirdo
I met Erik way back in the day, at the kids in Emerica tour in Atlanta. He was walking by himself and I asked for a pic and an autograph. We took the pic and he signed my camera. Nicest dude ever! Met him again at a baker demo in Atlanta a couple years later and was the same person! EE the man!!!!
GOD bless Erik and his beautiful family. he is def in top 5 my fav skaters of all times. I love this dude. whish him all the best. I already wtached this great interview more than once and i enjoy it each and every time. much love and support from munich/germany
I cry whenever I watch his deathwish video part... Partially cuz I lost my dad in highschool and partially cuz im happy to see him being a dad. It blew me away to know he lost his dad early on as well. Im in arizona at my moms on some downtime trippin out had no idea he went to AZ with his mom too. Crazy Cool Thanks for Sharing Ellington!
Grew up watching his Baker parts. Always loved his out of control fast style. Glad to see him sober and really enjoying his life. Keep on ripping Erik!
I love how November Rain melody is in this due to the fact that he wanted it as his Baker 3 song
Yeah that was f****** awesome dude only people from our generation would probably catch that

The Ellington shoe DOES need to be remade. Please do it.
Hell yeah I remember that shoe like it was yesterday
I'd buy it no cap
Skate shoes were better back in the day, with so many pro shoes to choose from
I should of bought like 3 extra pairs of my favorite shoes from back in the day
I’d buy every color. No lie. Shoes were golden! Probably my favorite
His bigspin down Carlsbad will always be one of my favorite tricks ever and his shoes were massively underrated.
Underrated? Pretty much everyone agrees its one of the best shoes of all time lol

Not underrated in the least you clown 😂😂😂

hey Erik, i'm 1 day sober, and hearing you talk about sobriety makes me happy af
You gotta start somewhere
Thats if you have a family
Hot Rod ! No that’s if you want to be sober.
Coming up on 11 years here. You can do it!

i still watch baker 3 every few months. when i think of all the good times thats been wasted having good times
That's such a important song
Gained so much more respect for Ellington after this. And how are his switch frontside flips even better now?!
He had killer frontside flips back in the day. To see him do it switch just AS clean if not cleaner at this day in age, is simply straight talent and passion
The amount of switch he just casually does in this, I almost forgot he's goofy.

Awesome camera💯
Back biggy down Carlsbad with the dance after is historic.. every time I see a back big it reminds me of Ellington
W - yeah Ellington is the reason I learned bs bigspins.
I never realised he’s a bit of a goofball; he always seemed so serious!
livelyupmyself1 tbh I heard he used to be an asshole back in baker and deathwishes hay day when they were really popular , same thing with Jamie Thomas
One of the best tricks of all time on film
Hopefully this inspires people to realize that what they have is good and to not take it for granted.
