An October 2006 Skateboarder article written and photographed by John Bradford, covering a Suffer The Joy filming trip that took the Toy Machine team through Australia, France and Spain.

Conflicting Moral Values: Toy Machine's Good & Evil Tour

This December 2004 Skateboarder article covers a month-long filming trip & demo tour for Toy Machine's Good & Evil video. There's also a specific video that was made from this tour, which I didn't know about until I was searching for the link for the full-length. Words and B&W photography by Ed Templeton, and photos by John Bradford (his first Toy Machine tour!)

Just Another Psycho Nightmare, or Toy Machine in Tokyo

Lurkfest: Toy Machine Creeps Across The U.S.

This article, written by Ed Templeton, covers the two-week Toy Machine 2007 summer tour. It started on May 29 and concluded on June 14 and took the team through Denver, Kansas City, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Chicago and Nashville. John Bradford took all of the skate photos, with some incidentals by Ed included. I really enjoyed reading this when I first got it in the mail 15 years ago, and would occasionally revisit it over the years. I even remember using the Ed Templeton nosebluntslide photo for a school project (I took a picture of it with a Pentax K1000 for a photography class - my teacher wasn't impressed that I took a photo of an already-composed printed photograph).

Ten Years of Templeton

This is a 20-page feature in the July 2001 issue of Thrasher highlighting the first 10+ years of Ed Templeton's career. It's a pretty in-depth interview, and includes short pieces from his wife Deanna and his longtime friend Geoff Rowley. It's an interesting piece, and I highly recommend it for any fans of Ed and/or Toy Machine.

Intro by Jaime Owens. Some of these photos appeared in previous issues of Skateboarder, many others in other mags or not at all (I think). Really cool to see some of those early 90s board company team photos.
