    What a rad piece. I never knew all about Ed’s tough upbringing – but you can definitely see how it forced him to be a man early and allowed him to accomplish so much.

    They never do enough action sports features on ESPN, so glad to see such a deserving guy like Ed be featured. I also love the songs they chose, Minus the Bear’s “When We When We Escape” and Castaneda’s “You Can Do It” – I wonder if Ed picked them himself…they definitely fit perfectly. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ed started another career in music soon…I mean seriously, he’s good at everything else he tries.
