Ed sure does have good taste in music. I remember a TWS profile where two of his top 5 favorite albums were Washing Machine and Sister.

I'm probably a lot older that most of the skater baters on here, but I remember when he was getting known, still on Schmitt Stix then The New Deal, which was a hugely popular company at the time. He used to always skate Huntington Beach high in nearly every photo and he was the king of Impossibles, a trick that I could never get close to doing.

I admire him as a skater and a person. He always has come across as down to earth and I had heard him speak out against homophobia, which you don't hear much from people in the skate industry.

I saw Ed and Vallely do a demo at a skatepark when their short-lived company TV was happening around '92.

All you skaters should seriously check out that Disposable book, with all the board graphics. Ed has a section in it.
