Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on August 09, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Erik Ellington! May your day be filled with fewer bruises than your legendary skate sessions and more laughs than the times you've bailed spectacularly. From pioneering iconic tricks to co-owning Deathwish and keeping Bakerboys Distribution rolling strong, you've proven that style never ages—even if knees sometimes disagree.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much success as your unforgettable video parts and signature shoe releases. Keep shredding life's rails with fearless flair, because let's face it—you're not getting older; you're just perfecting another trick called "aging gracefully." Cheers to another epic ride around the sun!
