humble, cool as fuck, and kind to fans. Major props to this dude!

[@jimdor8353]

lucky

[@slashcomic]

John Dunbar when was that?

[@wildbitt]

ahaha his inner dad came out when that guy took his picture

[@FumblsTheSniper]

I like a guy that says “I’ll see ya around” or “see you later” when they know they’ll probably never meet them again.

[@armin38822]

isn't it interesting how people walk by him and they just think he's some skater guy but they have no idea they are walking by one of the best street skateboarders ever. so just imagine how many times we pass by somebody who looks like an average guy but is actually great at what they do....

[@waxcomb]

this is the most outwardly looking comment I've ever seen on a skate related video

[@JEdwards713]

great applied observation!

[@hofmann161]

Nah he just high

[@JEdwards713]

its Jenkem, were all high...

[@rickjames5470]

Michael Hofmann What? Lol he's sober now

[@yaaaboy3491]

You can tell he has kids when he kept trying to grab the photographer

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

That Palace spot looked way more for trendy rich scene kids than a skateshop.

[@helter696skelter]

it's really what it is mostly these days

[@naetrr]

That's what Palace and Supreme are now.

[@RedVelvetUnderground333]

Uhhh Doiii😂

[@andrewnathan2903]

That's what it is, it's the new supreme

[@austind450]

I never thought otherwise of him, but I was really surprised how cool of a dude he is. He's got some crazy positive energy. You dont see that too often from seasoned pros.

[@yungchrist6911]

Eric is one of those dudes who turns into your favorite pro after you meet him in person. Everytime we have crossed paths he has been nothing but nice and humble. Erik you are the best 👍

[@ronthunders6124]

baker guys are just ... the coolest looking characters in skateboarding.

[@jamalydude]

Ron Thunders yes! I wholeheartedly agree, their style, their clothes, tattoo style, personality, everything is something you just love and want to emulate

[@martinjanota5857]

Cringe..lol..do ya skate? Pose?

[@meksone1]

@@martinjanota5857 youre cringe

[@moballardful]

Only the OG ones. The new ones are aight but they ain't holding a candle to the originators.

[@saucyruben]

@@moballardful tyson peterson comes close but yeah u right

[@voi907]

such a good dude.

[@sarahssentongo2587]

Raoul Duke fr the way he stopped and asked if that lady was okay

[@davidvillarreal8380]

such a humble cool dude, that's what I imagine legendary people are

[@Valspars_]

I found it cool as shit that he checked on that girl you don't know whats she's going through. mad respect to Ellington for that.

[@aidanmandude]

Ellington is my favorite for understanding that woman's pain. Real.

[@COU51N.Kyle.]

This is one of the best things ever. More of this style video please

[@Fakiecowgirl]

such a genuine, humble individual. super sick to see him, healthy and hyped on life.

[@samhens7435]

Bruh Erik is so caring man, just the way he's looking out for everyone in this video is so heart warming. Probably comes from being a dad now

[@BigErnMcCracken777]

Really nice guy, met him when I was a lil grom back in the day in Huntington Beach seemed like he partied waaaaayyyy to much I thought he would not last beyond a few years alive. So glad he got healthy and saved his own life

[@zachmiller1898]

Seems really down to earth and chill, wouldn't have expected that...I don't know why.

[@crabPEOPLE2000]

he used to be an animal and had a temper sometimes from what I heard back in his drugged out days, he's not like that anymore obviously tho

[@slashcomic]

Wonder Bread probably cause he's a father now

[@lincolndyer9837]

Met him at Vancouver slam city jam in 99, super chill down to earth, Muska too

[@Donald666]

Dude is an uppercase G

[@OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

omg i rocked the ellington 2s in middleschool about 15 years ago, the two-tone design is still sick imo.

[@TheWavetwister]

Always loved Ellington, after watching this, I love him more! Good old boy.

[@giles2583]

He looks much healthier these days

[@internetvide0]

he almost went to prison for life I think thats plenty of motivation for him.

[@1mackdavis]

for what?

[@internetvide0]

he beat someone up at a bar he has a video on youtube look it up

[@slashcomic]

Giles much livelier and happy too

[@moballardful]

He's just matured. Gotten older.

[@UnfortuneMelody]

Posted one day ago... A living legend! It always makes me happy to hear of him.

[@DB.KOOPER]

Always loved Ellington, so stoked to see him still in the business, still riding, still such a down to earth and chill guy. Ellington is foundational to todays skateboarding culture and we're all better for it.

[@jordanadam7850]

Did Ellington just buy a Chinese sweatshop shirt for $30

[@bengarcia6379]

Price increase of only 3000%

[@chetrok1]

Hands down still the most down to earth humble dude

[@alonsoperez2341]

Wow this made me love Ellington so much more. Seems like an insightful and humble guy. My first Pro board was Ellington skull and crossbones with a hat graphic for Baker long before deathwish started

[@rogerioliveira12]

The Best !!! My favorite skater ever 🙌 Thanks for the inspiration EE

[@bloodfeast123]

That leaves me $8 dollars to go buy Clorox! Haha rad

[@boogie..]

Such an amazing positive person. I love Ellington.

[@mrpineapplecat]

Such a cool guy. Loved Erik back in the day, love him even more now sober.

[@glockstitch]

It’s good to see one of my childhood heroes still alive and healthy. Baker 3, ill never forget.

[@mattbutler1283]

erik ellington seems like a genuinely nice person . i respect him and his style so much

[@marklean4288]

someday I'm gonna be this dude! hopefully this year.

[@supakidgalaxy]

That was so cool

[@louiealouie]

Ellington and all the Piss Drunx were my heroes in high school. My friends and I always wanted to be them and dress like them. It was the early 2000s but we looked like we were straight out the 80s

[@jaketheps2punk]

Thanks for the upload. Ellington for life

[@unfunnycomedian3057]

it's dope how a lot of pros come full circle. they start off just humble skaters, peak at being douchy don't touch me or be in my spot pros, and eventually come back down to be humble og's

[@jasonweber5464]

Congratulations on your Soberity, Erik! I knew the struggle well.

[@fritzgeraldlee2181]

Makes me proud to say he lived in Arizona for a bit. Much love EE from AZ.

[@Billbaseball1978]

erik has a good heart

[@theeeves]

So fucking rad, looked up to ellington and reynolds as a teen. This is skateboarding was a massive influence on my earlier years in skating.

[@bobs1474]

Great video Jenkem! I love watching pro's skate the city

[@Dr.MantisTobogganMD]

Dude Erik is so nice, any person I know would’ve been like “Why don’t the police arrest these people” That’s rare man, human love and respect is still with some of us, SOME of us.

[@DFunct905]

YourBroBlogan when was that?

[@DayUno413]

lol trying to show this softer side of him. helping people etc. like he wasnt a complete maniac. love it. EE a legend.

[@jozef.r6598]

met this guy at a skate jam in 2015, what a true down to earth guy!

[@mattdupont1548]

Pretty much broke down the same way I look at skateboarding and sobriety so cool to see him in out there doing it and having fun

[@wombatonsteroids]

Erik has really grown and matured into an amazing and well-spoken dude. Very neat guy.

[@Prometheus_Williams]

This is a 2.M Chanel- I’m embarrassed to have just found it. Subbed for eternity.

[@llamov]

Guys always seemed so nice. I remember first seeing one of his parts

[@Red-st9jk]

He’s so cool it’s legendary for sure

[@ununseptium7961]

It's so nice to see the Baker guys sober. I grew up in an alcoholic home. People who drink like they did are really hard to deal with.

[@MrAllstar]

Chill caring dude and still throwing down some good moves, what a memba!

[@pinkmotorazr]

This made me happy the whole way through

[@ssusggus]

Ellington is like the big lebowski of skating

[@spike7038]

Angus Rule We’ll, that’s just like, your opinion man..

[@majesticuncasual186]

lol, perfect response.

[@benlilley3792]

It’s funny you say that, loads of these comments refer to him as dude lol

[@JayyBlaze216]

One of my favorite skaters

[@simonloteria]

man erik is such a cool guy. long live bro!

[@dantapedeck3642]

So cool! Always the bee's knees! Erick Ellington! Rock On!

[@diegovera1938]

such a nice genuine dude.

[@leftyemerson8023]

When I was a kid I met Erik at a demo here in Texas, and he didn’t seem like all that nice of a guy. This video completely changed my opinion of him. Just goes to show you that you never know what someone might be going through. This video makes me happy as fuck. Gunna go watch some Baker footage now... 🤙🤙🤙

[@logandinsmore5404]

EE ... What a good dude. Wish I could get a pair of his emericas the grey with the red toe. Sick shoe

[@MatthewsDre]

This guy has a sense of humanity and good character

[@phlooke]

Yoooo hahaha so awesome to see dudeman from South Carolina of all places mention Baker demo at Owen's Field Park... Shit I think I was like 11 or 12 myself when I was there. Shout out to the Columbia /West Columbia homies!

[@ciscoak9074]

At the end, I bet hes talking about the dimond center 3 stair rail in anchorage ak..i live in anchorage n seen the old footy of him b4 he moved californy way.

damn dude erik ellington is now another dad mimicking his kids when they dab lol cute this was a good video

[@Mrjunkish]

What a beautiful person

[@seashellfingernails]

he just has the coolest style man

[@MultiBuffalo10]

I’ve been seeing many successful people talk about how and why they’ve quit drinking and how it’s had such a positive impact. It’s crazy to realize how alcohol is a thorn in many people’s side. You kinda just grow up drinking and it takes some time to understand that it’s keeping you from achieving the things you really would like to. Myself included. *end of diary entry lmao

[@punishedsnake6141]

Dude is super nice. Has a good heart.

[@DydLike]

Such a nice and caring guy

[@ross8526]

Damn Erik is cool dude , Buying his boards for sureee.

[@the6ig6adwolf]

We can't change decisions that we made in the past only learn from the mistakes. I don't regret all the time wasted drinking and getting fucked up because it got me to where I am today but I certainly have no intention of trying to recreate those times.

[@jcolterh]

Dudes got a good heart.

[@unattendedcandle]

One of the good guys of skateboarding!

[@thecpalumbo]

Quality❤️

[@coleroberts5921]

I love how he was like super worried about that dude that almost got nailed by a car. Eriks a total dad😂😂😂

[@Krushurpants]

tommy sandoval is going sober now its unbelievable, you guys should interview him!

[@skulleagletartat]

Proud of him, he's rad.

[@zvonimirmikic2932]

See kids, a fucking legend, right there.

[@g.carreon8724]

Idk why but that shuv it on the half sphere made me go ' what the fuck. That was so damn fast' literally never seen anything like it!

[@luznvin2]

I'm proud of you Erik E!

[@HarleyQuinn-nl7zv]

Man, I remember when he was on Zero back in the day, like the late 90s! Also wasn't Erik Ellington on Deathwish as well?

[@jonathanaiglon5321]

really nice man

[@user-qm3xs9eb6m]

What a genuine dude

[@_....J........................]

Yes, Erik!

[@ItsMask]

Damn i go to Soho alot i wish i could have seen him there

[@skatecreisisk8]

so inspiring

[@zoxai9406]

I think its fuckin sick how Ellington and a lot of the other baker guys did a lot of fuck shit in the past and did what young skater kids are supposed to do, and now theyre all set up got their lives on track and working harder than ever coolest shit to see

[@seths.4531]

A day with mule

[@TheOxygenCommittee]

Very austere tone the last few episodes.

[@ImTooAbstract]

TheOxygenCommittee that's a big word my dude, ngl I had to look it up

[@lordperezident]

ImTooAbstract well what did he mean by it?
