Legendary pro skateboarder Erik Ellington sits down with Phillip Frankland Lee and Neen Williams on Not A Damn Chance Podcast for an honest and powerful conversation about life beyond the board.
From his unforgettable part in Baker 3 to co-founding Bakerboys Distribution and Deathwish Skateboards, Erik helped shape an era of skateboarding. But here, he opens up about something deeper:
- His journey into sobriety and the challenges along the way
The wild moments that became wake-up calls (including smashing a pint glass)
- Finding strength in AA and the power of community
- Learning to put his foot down and rebuild from big mistakes
- Why obsession, love, and a little bit of crazy are key to pursuing anything worthwhile
Now, Erik’s channeling that same energy into new projects — including his alc-free beer Easy Does It, created to support others walking the sober path.
