Professional skateboarder Erik Ellington pulls back the curtain on his life in a new episode of Not A Damn Chance! Podcast with Phillip Frankland Lee and Neen Williams.
This ain’t your typical skate talk, he’s getting honest about the stuff most people don’t see.
He dives into his battle with sobriety and the wild moments that made him wake up and take a hard look at himself, including smashing a pint glass and realizing things had gone too far.
Erik talks about finding real support in AA and leaning on a community that actually has your back when life gets messy.
He keeps it raw about learning to set limits, owning his mistakes, and rebuilding from them. Erik doesn’t shy away from saying that chasing what you love takes obsession, a little bit of crazy, and a whole lot of heart.
The episode is full of laughs, hard truths, and stories that hit close to home. It’s about getting through the chaos, learning who’s real, and figuring out how to keep moving forward no matter what life throws at you.
