Names like Hoffman, Mirra, Aitken and Reynolds spring to mind. Yet before them, one name defined freestyle in its infancy, possibly more than anyone will ever do again. We were stoked and more than a little humbled to sit down with one of the greatest that has ever rolled on 20's (and 20 & 1 3/8...).
We go deep with Eddie, from his humble beginnings in the fabled Cali concrete park scene, to his multiple rolls in...
