This shit is not cool. I love EE and he's being honest and all but partying heavy with hard drugs is not cool, kids.

Kids read into that like, "Oh, Ellington used to smoke crack. He turned out good. He's a successful business owner, still rich and famous, I bet I can handle it, it must be okay then..."

That shit is straight up poison. Ever seen anybody on that shit up close? The other 90% of people that messed with that shit end up strung out, unemployed and fucked for a long time. Don't believe it.

Thank god I never touched and will never touch that bullshit.

This

He is very lucky to have managed to stay away from that shit...ellingtons fucking rad

Sorry bro

Do you want him to candy coat it? He's just being honest, and specifically says it's bad over and over.
He is extremely lucky, and drugs are everywhere but it's not gonna be Ellington who throws their life away.
When your older you should hide all the Baker videos from your children, and show them all Element videos and then
see how fucked up they get.

Thanks for the read , Ellington is rad

StabMasterArson · « **Reply #8 on:** May 09, 2012, 08:28:13 AM »

Before every part of Ellington Ive seen since "this is skateboarding" i keep thinking he is going to slow down and release a stinker of a part. This has yet to happen. Ellington isn't a mule, he is a fucking ox, and i don't see him slowing down anytime soon.

Monty Burns · « **Reply #9 on:** May 09, 2012, 08:37:52 AM »

Interviews are interviews . Be happy ppl are honest in them instead of lying about it

Ellington is the fucking shit . Stoked on him since the zero days . Only supras I buy and mostly ride DW boards

hard drugs are a dangerous game, but you two up there are kidding yourselves to act like many, many people don't dabble and escaped unscathed. people, kids especially, need a realistic portrait of drugs. smoking crack can get bad very quickly, but even crack is not a 'you try it, you end up on COPS' situation.

i thought it was sick to hear about ellington's health food regime; i'm on a similar program, and it's always cool to find out when someone who isn't all matt fielded out doing the same. treating your body well and being knowledgeable about nutrition should not need to come hand-in-hand with being a modern primitive dork. i think it's that kind of stigma that stops a lot of people from getting into health food. most skaters i know eat like shit, even if they exercise and are sober, and take a reverse snobbery, ignorant caveman stance like 'i want food that doesn't like bark/i'm not some hippy fag'.

Ellington is the best dude. I have always loved his unique psuedo sketchy style. Nicest guy in the Biz too.

Are you on the pipe, Schwimmer? Something has drastically changed in your demeanor as of late.

I said I love EE. I'm not hating on him at all. "This Shit" was referring to crack, not EE.

I'm surprised at the hate.

You know what I'm sorry, after all this time talking about the good of Slapkind and the fate of our posts
I've come to this, choosing to pick on Darrin Lee because in fact he had an opinion. I'm utter loss of words
and will rethink my actions in hope of better judgment next time Darrin, I love you. I'm sorry

i dont know, in 2012 i dont think too many kids even have the desire to smoke crack. maybe kids who already have bad coke habits and cant afford it, but theyre already fucking up. meth is another story though

fulfillthedream · « **Reply #14 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:50:10 AM »

sick and honest interview. i always liked ee since i saw misled youth, crazy that he skated for axion at one time. i really dig this trent of these websites like jenkem and this one that post these interviews of skaters.

this is going to turn into one of those threads where people talk about their drug addicted pasts while other people try to argue it with them. see you on page 7

Calm down there, Tipper Gore. An interview is where a person talks about their life and what happened, not a PSA. He doesn't (and shouldn't) need to preach to anyone. He got asked a question about his life, and he answered it.

That was a good little interview.

Edit: Also, you talk about drugs the way a 16 year old kid who has never done drugs does. Not saying being a kid who hasn't done them is a bad thing... it just sounds like you have an uneducated opinion.

lampshade · « **Reply #19 on:** May 09, 2012, 01:24:33 PM »

I find it amazing that someone who has been as gnarly as Erik for so long has never been to the hospital for anything skate related. Dude still goes big, but used to go huge.

Shit The Mule smoked crack!?...I'm bout to smoke crack too then...psshhh...Its not like he said it in Transworld or something....

Joe Pesci · « **Reply #22 on:** May 12, 2012, 09:40:39 AM »

as someone who has never smoked crack i dont think he made it sound like it was ok at all. i also never thought ellington was into any of the drugs that gnarly, i thought he was one of the people that just smoked weed sometimes and drank a lot

Your first point is fair, maybe I'm bias.
But believe me, I'm not a kid and I'm educated on the subject.

If you've never done something you can't speak on it with absolute knowledge.

Weed is the same as crack, the worst drug of all is alcohol.

I know way more people who have fucked their lives up smoking weed, I can't even count how many, I only know one person who smoked crack, he's actually doing better than the potheads still working as line cooks at 30+, at least he is in university.

Mouth · « **Reply #29 on:** May 13, 2012, 04:33:58 AM »

Just because you can't count, doesn't mean weed is worse than crack.
