Toy Machine at Revert 95
Toy Machine Skateboards is in 1993 opgericht door kunstenaar en professioneel skateboarder Ed Templeton. Toy Machine staat bekend om de unieke tekenstijl die te vinden is op skateboards en kleding. Maar de meest iconische items van Toy Machine zijn wel de sokken .Het merk voegde in de vroege ’90s een vleugje evil en weirdness toe aan de skateboardcultuur, die destijds gedomineerd werd door de laidback vibe van de Californische skateboardmerken. Toy Machine werd vooral bekend door Eds unieke graphics. Of het nu duistere demonen of sullige schildpadden zijn, Eds illustraties zijn instant herkenbaar. Dat sommige mensen de graphics weird of schokkend vinden maakt hem niets uit; Toy Machine is nou eenmaal niet voor iedereen.
Toy Machine "Bloodsucking Skateboard Company"
Besides Ed's recognisable house style, the 'Bloodsucking Skateboard Company' is known for its groundbreaking videos, which are just as hardcore as the gear the company produces. Skateboarding films like 'Welcome to hell' (1996) and 'Jump off a building' (1998) showed a whole new type of skateboarding. In Toy Machine's videos, there were no long technical runs on smoothe schoolyards, but lightning-fast montages of skaters throwing themselves off huge stairs and handrails. Skaters like Chad Muska, Bam Margera and especially Jamie Thomas went bigger and harder than anyone else. This take-no-prisoners mentality is still at the heart of Toy Machine. Although the brand has seen many team changes over the years, the team still consists of stuntmen on a skateboard, including Leo Romero, Daniel Lutheran and Jeremy Leabres. Toy Machine founder Ed Templeton is also still going strong.
