Ellington rides for: Deathwish Skateboards, Supra footwear, Brigada Eyewear, and Thunder Trucks.

Ellington was a member of the "Piss Drunx' c. mid-to-late 90s to 2000s with Jim Greco, Ali Boulala, Andrew Reynolds, Dustin Dollin.

He's appeared in "The Thrill of it all," "Misled Youth," "This Is Skateboarding,","Baker 3"and,"Kids in Emerica".

In 2005, Ellington left his shoe sponsor, Emerica. He started a new footwear company, Supra, along with Jim Greco, Tom Penny, Antwuan Dixon and Chad Muska. His pro model shoe from Supra hit stores and was named "DOUBLE E". The shoe's design resembles his older shoe, "Ellington 1" from previous sponsor Emerica. The Ellington 1 was remade by Emerica as the "Vettes".

Ellington co-founded a new eyewear company called Brigada with Jim Greco in 2007. They started the company without the help of any distributor and finance it with their own savings.

Ellington is married to Lucianna. They have one child, Julius Luther Ellington, born September 17, 2005.

In 2008 Erik left his sponsor Baker and started the company Deathwish.

Coming out with fits of rage, The Skullington emerges from the depths of Alaska running wild through Arizona and landing on the crazy streets of L.A. Not to be reckoned with, and having a cult following with the attitude of "Fuck The World!", Erik has put the smack down on the infamous biggie front board to sold out concerts with his favorite band Guns N Roses. Gang bangin with dem bloods and crips bandana print Supra's, he's also put the smoothness of butter touch on all fabrics and graphics of his sponsors from KR3W, Supra, Thunder, Spitfire, Baker, Active, and you can't forget the new stuntin line of Brigadas that will be lookin' so fresh and so clean, clean. Always down for the cause, say a big wussup to the "Mule-Man" Ellington when you get the chance!
