ESPN: Being Ed Templeton
by Staff, June 12, 2009
ESPN has produced this comprehensive video feature that looks into the life and times of one of the skate world’s most talented personalities who has embodied not only the skate-side of things but also maintained a great career in the arts. Trading in a skateboard for a camera, Templeton has become a respected artist for both his photographic skills as well as his painting skills. Take a thorough ride into Ed Templeton’s life through the accompanying article over at ESPN.

garden grove,where you at!
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.
