ERIC KOSTON

The Eric Koston Epicly Later’d series is an inside look at the personal history of the best, and most guarded, street skater of all time. Although Eric has dominated skateboarding for the better part of 20 years, his story has never been fully told until now. Eric’s success is the product of hard work, and is a prime example of what one can achieve when they use their talent to the fullest. To tell Eric’s story we have interviewed top pro skaters like Sean Malto and Alex Olson, as well as Eric’s mentor, the legendary Eddie Elguera. Combine all this with lots of never-before-seen skate footage, and we have ourselves one of the best Epicly Later’d series ever.
