New Deal's 'Best of Ed Templeton 90-92' Video

For many of you, this curb-dancing, manual-loving version of the Tempster might surprise and shock, but in the early '90s Ed was on the frontlines of the street skating revolution. Enjoy the flashback...

Keep up with Thrasher Magazine here:

Ed was skinny back in the day. I had a chance to skate with Ed in And he was so funny and nice. He was kickflipping over a shopping cart on its side off of a curb while Deanna (his wife) was shooting photos of him. Jamal Williams and Jerry Fowler were with him. It was under a dirty freeway in Spokane . We all got to skate with them. He was the first pro I ever met. Great memories

Met Ed in ybor city in Tampa Florida like 15 years ago. I didn't recognize him at first but my friend did. Asked him to flick us off to see if his middle finger is really as long as it is in the jump off a building video maybe welcome to hell. I'm old and can't remember lol. Tried to buy his pink leopard print shoes.

Thanks for posting this Thrasher. Shout out to Ed Templeton. Wrote him a few letters and he sent me some Toy Machine stickers and for a long time I had the Toy Machine get injected sticker on my piano.

2:10 is the best casper flip that will ever be done ever

[viionary]

I loved New Deal Skateboards, and their 'Useless Wooden Toys' video (which some of the tracks here are from) was my watch-and-repeat skatevid (VHS FTW!)

I'm glad I got to meet the Tempster at the RVCA HQ for the programming injection premiere, and got my board and TM DVDs signed from him and all the Toy Machine dudes there too

[three-stripes]

Great man, good song. Nostalgia overdose.

[gordonhinze]

... for me, he is the coolest skateboarding man on earth. He hits the streets so fast.. soo clean.. and haindrails like no one other- . His art is just wonderful too. He is a Skateboard legend to me.- greetz from germany.

In those days you could almost keep up with the pros if you were committed, it was cool.

[pressureflipin]

Please keep these new deal retrospects coming! Do the sarge next!

[Alifelesspieceofwork]

Still had the best nose blunt in the game to this day.

I used to watch that Casper flip over and over.
