In a year of some major skate video releases. You know the ones Stay Gold, Hallelujah, Origins, etc. Videos years in the making with no shortage of hype, a street skateboarding legend and his loyal team had been quietly putting together a video of their. Several of the guys on the team had parts in the above mentioned video, but that didn't stop them from still getting clips for their fearless leader.

Last night, The Tempster, aka Ed Templeton, and his company Toy Machine premiered thier latest video release Brain Wash. I wasn't there because I'm taking a bit of a self induced break from the scene that along with skate video premiers, but the great folks over at Skateboarder Mag were. So, cruise over their and check out some photos of what went down.

For all you loyal pawns out there Toy Machine will be premiering their new flick, Brain Wash, at the Gas Lamp in Long Beach on October 26. To hold you over until then they've been releasing teaser videos of each rider. Check out their latest, Diego "The Butcher" Bucchieri and quit possibly the skater of the year, Leo Romero. And for all you ladies out there above is a picture of the Toy Machine Boss himself, Ed Templeton, and his white buns (guys too, we all know how Ed rolls).

Ed Templeton and Leo Romero know each other pretty, pretty, pretty good. There's been some creepy nights out on the road, and since they share most of the sames sponsors, they're on tour together. Toy Machine, Emerica and RVCA are all brands that support the duo. Two of those brands Emerica, and Toy Machine, which was founded by The Tempster, got together for a little collab.

It's called the Bro Lab and it pretty much consisted of Emerica telling the two to do whatever they wanted to Leo's first signature shoe, The Leo 1. It's a lot like a classic court shoe, and these two pretty much ruined it, which is a good thing. They're like a beautiful disaster, or Beautiful Losers if you will (an art movie highlighting The Tempster's work).

Anyway, Emerica made a little video where the two explain what went into the making of the shoe:

Here's a little treat for all you Bam-a-Maniacs. Back before he was aJackass, he actually was a pro skater who would film video sectionslike this one for the 1998 video, Jump Off A Building. Check out Bam pre-Labo, pre-Element, pre-Heart-a-gram, destroying FDRcourtesy of Thrasher and Toy Machine:

Leo Romero is one of the most cutting edge skateboarders out there, and RVCA's one of the most cutting edge clothing brands, so it only makes sense that they would get together, and they have been for some time. Leo, RVCA and TM Jimmy have been an item for more than a minute, featuring special appearances by creeptographer extraordinaire, Ed Templeton himself.

Now, the Costa Mesa duds dealer, and the Long Beach dwelling, motorcycle riding, handrail destroyer bring to you a signature collection. If you've always said to yourself, "Man, I wish I could dress like Leo." Well, now you can with the release of the RVCA Leo Romero Signature Collection.

Plus, they put together a little video to get you hyped, and so you can see how the threads look in action. Word on the street is, as soon as you put some these things on, you can instantly grind up handrails. Check it out below, and after you watch the movie read the note Leo's neighbor left him, it's the most polite "Shut The Hell Up Note" I've ever seen.
