Biography

Eric was born in San diego but immediately moved to Boise, Idaho. He began to skate there around the 'blade boom' of 1993. His first pair of 'real skates' were some TRS Lightnings he stole from his friend's sister.
His first sponser was the local skate shop, 'Newt and Harolds'. Throught them he was able to get on flow for random companies and go to a few NISS and ASA events.

Eric Bailey turned eighteen around the time he moved to Reno to live with Mike Choley and Pat Lennen. There he filmed 'Them Apples' and started skating for USD, which introduced him to Jon Julio who wanted him onboard to start a new boot company (Valo). Eric moved to San Francisco for almost two years.

Recently, Eric Bailey moved back to Idaho and allows himself more time to travel the world.
