Toy Machine

Toy Machine bloodsucking skateboard company was started in 1993 by pro skater Ed Templeton. When Ed was deciding what to name the company, he was between 'Toy Skateboards' and 'Machine Skateboards'. Team rider at the time Ethan Fowler suggested combining the two names and that's how 'Toy Machine' was born. Legendary pro skaters like Brian Anderson, Jamie Thomas, and Elissa Steamer helped shape the early days of Toy Machine and can be seen in classic videos like 'Welcome to Hell' and 'Jump Off a Building'. The present day Toy Machine team is equally as impressive with riders like Blake Carpenter, Daniel Lutheran, CJ Collins, and Leo Romero leading the charge. One of the many things that make Toy Machine special is the original artwork done by Ed Templeton. Characters like the Toy Machine Monster, Turtle Boy, and the Transistor Sect have been reoccurring personalities seen on decks, tees, accessories, and more.
