share it on your facebook page, help spread the word! it's gonna be a really good year.

we have more episodes coming soon- and lots of them. we got so much good stuff this year that rather than having one long episode per week we are going to break them up into several shorter ones than will end up being way longer in total. this first one may stay up longer as we get ahead on editing the rest, but starting soon there will be one coming several times a week!

Are you sure you aren't that dude?
At the very least you guys should hang out, Riverside's not that far.

Fuck it, after watching that I'm gonna have to go ahead and say that this guy is awesome.
Only way it would have been radder is if he had dropped the "I'm not here to make friends" line.

Honestly I hope this dude Forest gets in touch with reality. There are a bunch of amazing skaters that get nowhere because of their kookery and attitudes, hopefully the guys at slap took this into consideration when deciding the winner. As long as he doesn't win then I'm down for all the other guys pretty much. Mango seems rad, seems like a fun dude to skate with and kooky in a good way hahaha.

I think this dude's arrogance is the best thing about this whole deal.  I would get pretty fucking tired of all these cookie cutter happy go lucky fags talking about how they skate but train to be scientists at the same time.  Forrest Edwards seems like a jerk but whatever, so is Grant Taylor.  attitudes don't change the game.  His demeanor amuses me.

Arrogance is not the same as confidence at all. I took that Mango kid as confident. He's self depricating. You can't make fun of your weaknesses unless you are confident in your strengths.

You have it backwards. A lot of people confuse arrogance for confidence. A confident person wouldn't feel the need to tell people that his go to tricks "aren't that gay." We can figure it out on our own if its the truth. Also, the fake scowl speaks volumes about him. Not to mention that you are the only person who didn't see him as arrogant.

Also, that Gonzalo dude is good, and not to be too much of a dick, but do his eyes look really really close together to anybody else?

Probably thinks the other dudes tricks are gay. who knows, and we didn't hear what was asked. What if he asked if he does gay rail tricks. And I know the difference between confidence and arrogance. I would say most of the people that post on slap are way more arrogant than he is. You guys go around talking shit on people and acting like you're better than them all the time.

Ive been skating for 17 years, I don't go for it anymore but I can do some boardslides and kickflips and shit I'd be lying if I said I really went out and tried to learn new shit, I just don't have time. I work 50 hours a week am married and have a house with bills and shit. When I do get to go out and skate I have friends who wanna film stuff so we go do that. Usually I film and noone films me(I mean why would they) but here is 2 tricks of me skating at a park a year ago(at 0:32-0:38), I mean I'm not good, but I do skate so here is some proof. I think we are all still waiting to see footy of you.

Dudes not arrogant, though. well, I can't really speak on him, because I don't know him that well, but most people confuse confidence for arrogance. Just because he acknowledges that his tricks are good doesn't mean he's arrogant.

Of course you wouldn't get it because you're a regular california new gen who idolizes prod. but even paul isn't arrogant he is confident, so yes there is a huge difference.

You're an idiot. Firstly i don't idolize anyone, secondly it doesn't matter because you're a 30 year old filmer that doesn't skate and dickrides little kids.

I'm 26, and yes I'm a filmer but I mean you have to skate to film right? I mean I do.>>>

Ive been skating for 17 years, I don't go for it anymore but I can do some boardslides and kickflips and shit I'd be lying if I said I really went out and tried to learn new shit, I just don't have time. I work 50 hours a week am married and have a house with bills and shit. When I do get to go out and skate I have friends who wanna film stuff so we go do that. Usually I film and noone films me(I mean why would they) but here is 2 tricks of me skating at a park a year ago(at 0:32-0:38), I mean I'm not good, but I do skate so here is some proof. I think we are all still waiting to see footy of you.

Also is everything about winning or losing? Maybe that's why you don't get skateboarding and back dudes like Forest Edwards. The other dudes went to OIAM just skate and have fun and try to get some tricks see what happens not for competition.

Not to be a drag, but rooting for anyone else but Forrest, Jon, or Reuben is kind of silly seeing as they announced them as the final three nearly 2 months ago. Not that I don't think they're all rad. So far I'm down for Jon, I like his attitude and variety the best.

You're fucking clueless, what do you mean beneath? No one needs to dickride anyone but there should be some level of respect. Forest has no respect for anyone and now its settled there is no more arguing or question about it the guy is an arrogant asshole.

I will say I feel like this was edited a little bit too much like a drama reality show.

I don't know who's board he was supposed to replace, obviously not Daryls right? I mean the guy gets unlimited boards but perhaps the other guys are given a certain amount of boards for the week or something.

No he's a dickrider, Look how much more emphasis he put on the fact daryl let him use his board. Rueben's lame, but he's 16 so he somewhat gets a pass for being a dickrider, but not really. And i just noticed that the main thing he made a big deal about was forrest saying the board was alright. Like a pro's board is supposed to be super magical or some gay shit. Kid's a faggot.

Darryl was being sarcastic because Forrest broke the board he lent him without saying sorry or thank you. Not exactly a humble guy.

"What's his name?"...Hahahaha I fucking lost it right there.

Glad they're going with the reality show style editing here, and I fucking HATE reality shows but this shit is just too entertaining.
Forrest knows what he's doing, can't wait to see more dick moves from him. PAUSE.

dude you are a straight mark. i don't think he was implying that his board would be amazing, he was making it known the fact that forrest didn't even say "thanks" or show any respect. your "dickriding" assumptions are being mistaken with reuben having a fucking conscience and manners.

you guys can' really judge people after seeing them talk maybe once or twice, not talking to them in person but, listening to them talk on the internet....pretty dumb. the only thing that suprised me out of all of this is that he broke mark & daryl angel's boards & didn't say thank you..... but then again, what is really expected? think about how many main sports charaters there are in every sport that think they're the greatest thing ever. forrest is different then you guys because he didnt grow up being a rich kid & has been slept on as a skateboarder here for awhile. when i posted his sponser tape that my friend filmed, most people talked shit. now you like his skateboarding but, not his personality (without actually knowing him) if you're going to be so picky about skateboarding then why don't you just go pick up a different hobby instead of sitting on the internet all day saying what's wrong with skateboarding & who sucks... or go skateboard till your one of the dude's putting footage on this website & then talk shit. the point is forrest is awesome, he's a cool dude, has always been a cool dude and, no matter what, even if you dipshits don't like him, it does not matter because he will still make it in skateboarding & be one of the top dudes not too long from now so get over it or get used to it. & that one dude talking about how much of a dick forrest is in this last video is a total pussy, i liked his footage till i saw that, cool thing to do dude enter a contest & then have someone record you talking shit about the best dude in that shit.

It's disappointing to see they're editing this to emphasize the drama more than the skating. Obviously, Forrest broke five boards and apparently he was ungracious about the borrowed ones he snapped; but the SLAP people don't have to sensationalize it so much. It felt like I was watching reality TV. If I want that I can tune into half the garbage shows on TV, chocked full of constructed plot lines, untalented people flailing for attention, and stupid sound effects.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the previous OIAM much more about the skating and felt more candid? Even if they're presenting it as it happened, seems like the he-said-she-said interviews (including a cliff-hanger comment from Mr. Daryl Angel himself that we're supposed to get all giddy for next episode) aren't necessary. I was way more psyched to see the ripping and the skaters complementing each other's efforts.

forrest is an idiot. he didn't even care to remember a guest pro's name, didn't bother thanking anyone for letting him use their boards let alone break them. also his go-to tricks are probably gay just on the basis that he claimed they weren't. but hey, reynolds eats fruit too so they're both practically fucking related.

Post by: whiteley on December 03, 2010, 12:07:20 AM
couple things:
1) i was not bummed at all that forrest broke my board. i was actually stoked that he took my board when i offered it and rode it until it broke WITHOUT complaining about how loose the trucks are. EVERYBODY who has ever touched my board thinks the trucks are crazy loose and complains (except nestor, we're on the same page), but forrest didn't- he just skated it. but anyhow, the breaking didn't bother me at all, and while i can't speak for daryl, i don't think it bothered him either- it was more that forrest never said thanks when the boards were offered or sorry when they were broken. he said nothing to me and was really whatever with daryl. just not the best vibe to start with at the first session of the week. i believe that's what reuben was speaking to, not that daryl's board was supposed to be magical.
2) the episodes are short. alex is still editing and we are figuring out how much to break them up. the reason we are doing them in short chunks is because we have learned by monitoring the way people watch past videos we've done (OIAM, pals questions, commentaries, etc) is that after about 7 minutes we start to lose people. this year we got SO much more footage for the contest than last year that to do each day as a single episode would mean they'd be like 15 minutes long, as that seemed like too much, so we're breaking them up. what we have done so far is to break each day of the finals week days up into three 5 +/- minute sections/episodes (so episode 2 was basically the first of three parts made from the events of the first day. the third part also includes a recap of the total day's events together during interviews we did at the end of every day). we may drop it to two 7-8+/- minute episodes for the later ones. so there will be a lot, but it's meant to be a steady stream of digestible chunks. keep you posted.

oh, and ^: i don't know if you consider jews to be "white" or not, but while i don't know his complete ethnic background, reuben is indeed the hebrew hammer!

you guys can' really judge people after seeing them talk maybe once or twice, not talking to them in person but, listening to them talk on the internet....pretty dumb. the only thing that suprised me out of all of this is that he broke mark & daryl angel's boards & didn't say thank you..... but then again, what is really expected? think about how many main sports charaters there are in every sport that think they're the greatest thing ever. forrest is different then you guys because he didnt grow up being a rich kid & has been slept on as a skateboarder here for awhile. when i posted his sponser tape that my friend filmed, most people talked shit. now you like his skateboarding but, not his personality (without actually knowing him) if you're going to be so picky about skateboarding then why don't you just go pick up a different hobby instead of sitting on the internet all day saying what's wrong with skateboarding & who sucks... or go skateboard till your one of the dude's putting footage on this website & then talk shit. the point is forrest is awesome, he's a cool dude, has always been a cool dude and, no matter what, even if you dipshits don't like him, it does not matter because he will still make it in skateboarding & be one of the top dudes not too long from now so get over it or get used to it. & that one dude talking about how much of a dick forrest is in this last video is a total pussy, i liked his footage till i saw that, cool thing to do dude enter a contest & then have someone record you talking shit about the best dude in that shit.

Not sure what your point is or why you think I need to explain myself to you.

[close]

i didn't tell you to explain yourself i told you to explain your nonsence. so you have a picture of dylan rieder breaking his board at a contest.. if it was just dylan focusing his board you wouldt make it your signature but, because it's a competition that makes it okay? or does it make him "cool" to not care about the contest itself? so in the same logic.. maybe forrest doesnt give a flying fuck about this "contest" because he is very obviously way ahead of most people.
lol you're reaching. forrest himself said that he only went to the contest to win, he didn't care about the experience or anything, so that clearly shows that he cares a fuckload about this contest. he also was bummed on the fact that he didn't do well, i'm pretty sure he wouldn't have cared that he blew it if he didn't care about the contest itself.

 You should be stoked he's even getting talked about. now you can ride his coat tails to win at skateboarding. Don't take it personal. If anything we can agree he adds some much needed personality to the nerdy PC dialog that the skating industry has been forced to portray. I quite like the way its edited too. Variety is not gay.

I might be wrong, but I thought Forrest was being sarcastic and making a mockery of the whole "i don't really care, just here to have fun" put on attitude of some people.  To me he looked like he was about to burst out laughing as soon as the camera stopped recording.  I found it hilarious.  Either way Forrest is fucking killing this shit.

He's actually been making sense from the start. You are the one blowing it.
yeah dude i'm blowing it by defending my friend. i just think it's funny that you guys are judging someone you don't know.... he's downriver.... if he wasn't in the contest he wouldn't pay any attention to it. i'm not saying he has no knowledge of skateboarding he obviously sent his footage to slap & knows that reynolds eats fruit.. (ha) but, my point is that he proabably doesn't think that many people watch the videos & doesn't really care what they think of him as a person, you can't deny his talent in skatebording.

& my point with the whole dylan rieder thing is that your signature is dylan focusing his board at the x-games. it's pretty much the same concept. noone made dylan enter thge x-games, he was offered to go, knew he could make some money & went. obviously didn't feel like he was doing good so he broke his own skateboard on purpose in front of millions of people atleast (including peole who watched on tv and people who were there) so thats thousands of little kids thinking that it's cool to just break your board if you're not doing good because, they see a "professional athlete" do it on t.v. or in person at a sporting event (the x-games). so cut to the chase, my obvious point is that everyone thinks forrest is a dick cause some shit that he says in a contest video. is it wrong to go into a contest hoping to win? is it wrong to know that a back 360 kickflip down a set of stairs or, a 360 flip 5050 down a circle handrail is "not gay" ? i mean, obviously he coud've worded himself differently but, he didn't because he's not you. if you're into variety, you should be able to accept people that are different. & he didn't focus his board during the contest, he broke it trying like trick 4 or 5, then someone offered him a board, it breaks, daryl offers his, it breaks.... who should be most bummed? the dude that has to go to work to buy skateboards or the dude that's probably skating his own skateboard?.. the dude that works for slap who can probaby get a board when he needs it?... or the dude that's in a contest far from home with a bunch of strangers & he just broke 3 boards  trying the same trick, one of them being his own brand new board. bottom line, if you invite someone to travel all the way upstate for a contest between him and like 5 other dudes to skate a bunch of spots together that you haven't even been to & have always wanted to go to... shit is probably overwhelming as fuck & if you really want to win you got to get into the conest mentally... sure everybody likes the modest,thankful guy more for his personality but, skateboarding is skateboarding. you can't just have the new generation of mainstream  skateboarders be "down to earth" flannel wearing smiley hispters just for doing the same fucking tricks over & over & being trendy as fuck.... shit get's old. forrest just has raw talent & will push skateboarding harder & harder. he progresses more & more & he will be one of the top dudes one day. the nba couldn't filled with soft spoken short dudes just because they're easier to get along with or relate to but, goddamn man the dude is fucking amazing & shits on all the other dudes obviously... no offence i watched everyone else's footage i liked them but, forrest is obviously the best. & i was joking with all the name-calling and cussing at you or anyone else i 'm not trying to change your opinion i'm jsut explaing mine

Just like you like Forrest and I understand and accept your point, you should be able to understand and accept that he comes across like an egotistic, unappreciative dick. The fact that he works so hard for his tricks and to get anywhere in skateboarding is admirable and if anything, he should be more appreciative of the opportunity SLAP and the OIAM contest gives him. He could try to make the best impression possible to these people in the industry, which is as simple as saying "Thanks for letting me use your board. Sorry I snapped it." And unless I'm missing something, don't the contestants get a couple boards for free? So he could probably go back to Double Rock and set up one of the boards that SLAP gave him for the week. Or use some of that $120 that SLAP gave him to buy a shop board at FTC. It's not like he needs to scrimp and save for a new board this week.

this episode is the middle part of the first day, after the golden gate park session, and it was a real good first day out. matty's nollie was definitely really sick, his style started coming out that day. john's f/s 180 the hard way over the rail was good, too, but his hill bomb to triple set ollie attempts were amazing. we talk about it more in the next episode, but trying that is crazy. having never skated sf hills before, to see that and just go for it was impressive. he only got those two tries at it before the cops came, if he'd had one or two more it might have happened. episode 4 will be coming really soon, should be wednesday, with the last part of the first day out and the end-of-the-day reviews with everybody in the contest! some great comments happen during those reviews...

it's not getting much love, but i liked mango's frontside 180 switch manual at kezar
a quirky approach to a typical spot

Hell yeah. I like him way more than any of the others, I hope the duder goes places regardless of the fact he aint winnin'

glad people are digging them so much so far. as for length/amount of episodes, we're still talking about it but it'll be these length at least for this week. as for forrest, don't worry, he'll be right back with more in episode.
i'm looking at rough cuts for episodes 5, 6 and 7 today and it's so entertaining. 5 has great skating, 6 has raw trauma, 7 has some true jaw droppers...

Going that fast an ollieing up a curb is a trick in itself in my mind; that looked scurry.
When I was out in sf I tried bombing the hill and ollieing that same curb and clipped because I didn't judge it right. Rolled and skidded almost all the way to the stairs. But that's how I found out where kezar was.

Isn't Daryl a rumored asshole? He seemed pretty kind in the clips, lending a board and stopping traffic. But these dudes are doing really well in SF, all that shit is difficult to skate.

i saw him trying the flip tricks into the hill a few times but didn't know he was coming down the whole street. he made one trick into the hill, came down and almost got hit because it's basically a blind intersection, and when i saw that i went out to stop traffic on the rest. nobody really knew he was gonna go for it until then. then he only got those two other tries. there's an angle shot from above that i want to use for something later that shows how long the set really is. super rugged to try.

sf state rail- not really at sf state, but right near it. behind a mall, leading into some apartments.

Holy shit on that triple set attempt. Reuben is actually really sick, don't know what the hate is about. Matty Hunt's nollie was the best looking trick yet, though not necessarily the hardest.
Random logistical question: On that day you started at the de young garden in Golden Gate park, then went down, away from the park, to stonestown. After getting the boot from there you drove back to golden gate park and skated kezar, which is a mild push from de young. Why?

On second look, I'm hyped on that Fitzgerald kid. They're going around SF skating all these flat spots and he just can't wait to get charging down them hills. Don't care that he didn't land it, it was awesome that he went for it. Not to mention the fact the Whiteley just subtly pointed out that he wasn't like "hey, can you film me, I'm going to try to ollie the triple set," it seems like he just walked up the hill and went for it, which makes it twice as cool.
Oh, and Daryl remembered Forrest's name. Just saying.

we got cock-blocked on a lot of spots that day and drove around a ton, but i think part of the reason we headed back over there was to get a new board for daryl at the shop. i know we got one for him along the way, oh, and john broke his board on that heelflip down the three at kezar and was actually riding daryl's new board for a little while on the hill. so that's daryl loaning once more on the day- what a guy, huh?

On second look, I'm hyped on that Fitzgerald kid. They're going around SF skating all these flat spots and he just can't wait to get charging down them hills. Don't care that he didn't land it, it was awesome that he went for it.

That is how it went, and john was nothing if not humble the whole time. good kid.

ramondetta did have that photo come out right before the contest week, although i don't know if he ollied up the curb. ollie is beast regardless.

as for matty, yeah, definitely consistent style point awards throughout the week. looking real good.

as for beards, i remember there was a full grown man in my 8th grade class who shaved every day. i, however, grew nothing until about 18, then fungus until maybe 21. i don't think it got really legit until another year or so after that. reuben is definitely bearded youth.

^ true in that light, but a person helping another person who they just met with no selfish motivation to do so is commendable regardless of the nature of their employment or socio-economic status. and while a board is certainly not hard to come by for a pro, i don't think daryl has 54 billion skateboards at his disposal- when do you think bill gates stopped to give two separate homeless guys a dollar in one afternoon?

Whiteley in episode one I have to say I was impressed how closely shaven you were. Electric or safety razor?

oh my, thank you. safety. mach 3, i back it. i had been staying in double rock with the guys several nights in a row, shaving in the bathroom at slap in the morning while everybody else was coming into work, they were kinda surprised to see somebody shaving in there.

I hope at the end of this, y'all will compile all the episodes into one video.

that's the plan.

Reuben's kickflip over that bump bar was dope.  I'm still trying to see that above angle of the triple set because that thing looks huge.

super hard to get at that thing, you gotta cut in and cut out before and after. nobody has ever flipped over it before, big ups to reuben. and yeah, hopefully that above angle on the triple set will find a home later.

The first trick he tried was a nollie noseslide on that rail? it seems like you guys are leaving tricks out.

to be honest i don't know if that was his first trick or not-- the rail session was happening at the same time as the bump to bar session and i was at the bump to bar around the corner. however, seeing how forrest operates at spots, i would not be surprised if he went right to that. he charges. but rest assured, we're not jacking anybody for their tricks.

The after-interview seems awkward too, not negative but what do they expect them to say?

first gap spot, gonzo crushed it, got the most tricks. reuben got a bunch, forrest got three, john got one trick, matty got one trick, nik and mango didn't really skate it.
second spot, over the rail into bank, john got one trick, matty got one trick, reuben sorta got one (sketchy manual), nik ate shit. forrest, mango and gonzo didn't really skate it.
third spot, kezar, mango got a trick, matty got a trick, forrrest got a trick, reuben got a couple, and john didn't get it but sure got some points on that ollie. gonzo and nik didn't.
last spot, reuben got the kickflip, gonzo got two, forrest got one.
so all in all, everybody got at least something the first day, aside from nik who got hurt. remember, this is just the first day, there's a whole week ahead. not everybody likes every spot, and with a whole week of all-day-ever-day skating in store, it's certainly advisable to save yourself a bit.

as for the interviews, again, this was the first day and nobody really knew what to expect. the interviews get a lot smoother and more interesting as the days go by.

I think the whole point for this season is the short episodes. 3 a week is good with me.

I mean if they had 10-15 min episodes then they'd probably only have 5 or less to show us. The mini episodes are good.

That rail is pretty tall, but the bump gives you a good lift off it.

Still gnarly regardless, Forrest should have just said he was the MVP for the day. You know he was thinking about it.

That rail isn't low whatsoever. The little curb edging puts it at a normal handicap rail height. And there's barely a bump, that's a beast of a kickflip.

yea, rueben is a faggot.

I'm not trying to get in an online debate with you, but you do realize everything doesn't have to be so black and white. You can still support your dude and acknowledge that other people are killing it, too. Just because you're backing Forrest doesn't mean a 16 year old kid who's super excited to skate and producing a bunch of great looking footage is a fag. Not hating, just saying.

Also, I just watched Forrests' sponsor me tape thats been floating around on SLAP. Dude kills it. Anyone have any links to any of the other finalists parts/edit tapes?

I'm 100% on team Mango. He won't win, but I'm backing the hell out of that kid. His testimonials are almost as funny as forrest's, but in a likable way.

Line of the episode was "meaning..."

Whiteley just said that the nollie noseslide took place right after the bump to bar session, which is why he knew about the nollie noseslide but nothing else.

The first trick he tried was a nollie noseslide on that rail? it seems like you guys are leaving tricks out.

to be honest i don't know if that was his first trick or not-- the rail session was happening at the same time as the bump to bar session and i was at the bump to bar around the corner. however, seeing how forrest operates at spots, i would not be surprised if he went right to that. he charges. but rest assured, we're not jacking anybody for their tricks.

as far as average handrail rail height, that did look pretty low, but it was still pretty tall over all

i'd say the bump to bar is of average height, nothing crazy, but the bump itself being mellow and the cut in and cut out before and after add up to it being hard to get anything over. for a kickflip to be NBD on a spot that's been known for a decade says something (by the way, first footage of that spot was of reese forbes ollieing it, which also says something.)

and ^: gipper, they were happening at the same time, not right after the bump to bar. we had multiple filmers, which is how we have both tricks. but that said, anybody could have skated the bump to bar, we stopped to look at that first, not the rail, it's just that nobody but reuben had anything for it. and also, gipper i mean ronald, i know you'd approve of how john skated the hills. wait until you see what's coming at the end of the next episode...

as a side note, i just watched rough cuts for episodes 8, 9 and 10-- lots of great stuff coming soon. amazing skating, amazing comments, mango buying clothes off a homeless guy...

Too bad Forrest didn't at least make an attempt, especially considering this from #4:

Quote
Mark: At the Golden Gate fountain gap, the first one where you broke the boards and all that stuff, if you weren't into skating the spot how come you kept skating for so long?

Forrest: The competition! I can't just let them get ahead and me not keep up.
Granted, that was some pretty harsh tranny but he could at least have tried to go with an edger or something.

Also, Omar was on point when he compared Matty with Andrew Allen- I thought he reminded me of someone and that's who it was.

I've seen guys coming up just like Forrest and in the same kind of situation. Skating to those kind of guys is something else than to the rest of the bunch. There's lack of fun right there and skating is filling up some weird void in the their souls.

About the other dudes not getting things on the stairs... they at least skated shit rather than sit it out.
As for the point of skating tranny, it's a competition, just like Forrest said. He didn't have to bust out, but he should've at least given it a go.

I don't think i've ever seen mike mo skate a demo. And if you're not used to something what's the point of skating it. no one said anything when those other dudes didn't get tricks on those stairs. and i'd be willing to bet money no one got a good ledge line at 3rd and army and no one is going to say anything about that.

this is mike mo skating a demo

I've skated that shit, and the shit he was doing was gnar as fuck. pretty much getting anything filmworthy is damn near impossible there. Even getting taken out, its going to be hard for any of them to leave a better impression on me skatewise. Still hyped on mango. Can't believe 2 dudes exist in the world like COTG.

I'd be willing to bet money you grew up with a skatepark. I don't think you guys realize skateparks everywhere are fairly new. There are a shitload of kids that started skating before the last 5 years who probably never skated/ are just getting into within the last 2 years. and honestly it doesn't matter to a lot of kids. if you asked a kid who's skills would you rather have mike mo's or tony t's,  i'd bet money that the overwhelming majority would choose mike mo.

"shit got real when whiteley just stood motionless watching john go straight for that curb at 30+ miles an hour.
there's no way that could have ended well."
-- if you watch, i move over a little while he's coming down that last stretch as i was hoping he might still try to make the turn and i wanted to catch him if he was gonna hit the car. i had no idea what was going to happen at that point. it didn't end well in terms of his scalp, but it ended very well in terms of john being extremely gnarly.

"Omar Hassan seems like fucking good guy."
-- having never really hung out with him much before, i was surprised at how cool he was. he says some great stuff in the next episode, too.

"i'd be willing to bet money no one got a good ledge line at 3rd and army and no one is going to say anything about that."
--i'm sure our definitions will be different on what makes for a "good" ledge line, but mango got a rad one, and some others got lines as well- including forrest...

"That's some medieval looking shit... obviously he's out of the game, but he gets a life gnar for risking his shit like that. Dude's made of gnar. Shit, with a gash like that I'm stoked he's alive!"
-- don't be so sure!

"will we get to see the slam unedited?"
-- bright and early monday morning!

"most people that skate realize most of the people that skate transition are over the age 30."
-- sorry to make an old guy reference, but have you ever seen the first plan b video? there's a miniramp section in the middle of it that was the peak of technical tranny skating at the time, maybe you can appreciate that. i don't think any of those guys could have been over 21 at that point, probably more like 18.

they asked him why he wasn't skating it, he offered his opinion. no one asked mango because no one cares what mango thinks. slap knew forrest's comments would be the highlights of the episodes, and so they're definitely putting more focus on him. dude didn't even skate the spot of the episode and still seemed to be more prominent in the episode than nik stain, who actually skated the spot. speaking of, a better comparison for someone not skating the street spots is nik stain, i forgot dude existed until this episode, he didn't do shit the whole first episode it seems.

All of these OIAM dudes are in a contest right now, correct?
You would think that all of them would try to skate as much as they could at every single spot that they get taken to regardless if they are "feeling it" or not, I mean sitting out while the others are trying to so shit is wack no matter if the spot is a ledge, stairs, gap, or tranny.

These fucking dudes are good and they should be able to handle at any spot Whiteley takes them to, I mean if they're trying to be "one in a million" they should be able to at least function on a little bit of everything its not like they have to be mind-blowing on everything but come on son, you're in the finals here, do something or at least try.

this still doesn't address soul skater mango or-like gomez pointed out-the non existent nik stain. basically these dudes have just started to get tricks into the 5th episode, while everyone, including forrest, has done something noteable within the first 3 or 4.

OIAM is a competition but it's still skateboarding and like i said, no one here can front like they never opted out of skating a spot cause they were'nt feeling it. it's OIAM not the dew tour-if a guy wants to sit out thats his perogative.

he said he was out of his element, he never said he was above skating tranny. im not defending forrest, but dudes have to understand that skaters are humans and every person is different-not everyone is a 'skate everything' type of person. i've been to many spots in my life that i didnt bother to skate because i knew i'd get broke off or it was out of my element. honesty is key, both mango and forrest approached their hesitation to skate in a humourous manner-mango replys saying he's a 'soul skater' and forrest says he'll skate tranny when he's old.

Even if he would have skated the that bowl, they probably would have made fun of him for not having tricks on something he doesn't skate often. It's just funny to me that no one on here talks shit on people that suck at ledges, manuals, handrails, or gaps/stairs. Transition is the only thing you can't not skate.

Even if he would have skated the that bowl, they probably would have made fun of him for not having tricks on something he doesn't skate often. It's just funny to me that no one on here talks shit on people that suck at ledges, manuals, handrails, or gaps/stairs. Transition is the only thing you can't not skate.
You mean street? Who the fuck doesn't skate street? If those people exist, they too suck.

No one is giving him shit because he's not good at/cant skate tranny.

It's that "I'll skate tranny when I'm old" bullshit.

There's no reason to say shit like that unless he feels a need to justify his inaction.

All you dumbasses defending forrest need to realize he wasn't saying "this isn't my spot" he was saying he doesn't skate ANY transition. Mango may not have gotten anything on the first gap, but first of all, he stuck around and complimented everybody on how they skated it, and second of all, he skated the next gap they went to. He didn't say "I don't skate gaps"

Not wanting to skate the transition doesn't make Forrest an asshole, it makes him a shitty skateboarder.

he said he was out of his element, he never said he was above skating tranny. im not defending forrest, but dudes have to understand that skaters are humans and every person is different-not everyone is a 'skate everything' type of person. i've been to many spots in my life that i didnt bother to skate because i knew i'd get broke off or it was out of my element. honesty is key, both mango and forrest approached their hesitation to skate in a humourous manner-mango replys saying he's a 'soul skater' and forrest says he'll skate tranny when he's old.

Not so.  This is a competition.  You're not feeling it?  Tough! You want to win?  You do what it takes.  You pussy out, you FAIL.  At least Mango's a good sport. Forrest is a punk.

People are making fun of him anyway. The reason everybody is hating on him is because he is an asshole. When an asshole does something lame, they get less sympathy then when a likable person does. There is nothing wrong with that either. It would be stupid if everytime somebody did something we pretended it was the first time they did anything, its just not how humans work. You spend the entire time talking about how its a competition and your the best and all that shit, then can't even roll through the spot, be prepared to be justifiably clowned.
And that shit about skating it when he gets old is just a crutch to make himself feel better about not actually being quite as awesome as he thinks he is.

come on man.  he doesn't skate one type of thing at all so he is lame?    definitely not true.  using our (and many others) favorite skateboarder as an example......I can guarantee you if the Real team rolled up to a big ass handrail Busenitz would not skate it...because he doesn't skate hand rails.  does that make him lame?  no.  the dude is one of the absolute rawest street skaters ever and he doesn't even skate rails.    gino also comes to mind, who said in the chocolate tour he doesn't skate rails.  that doesn't make him lame (at least during the trilogy and yeah right! eras).

if it's not your thing then it's not your thing....i don't understand why Slap berates people who don't skate transition but praise people who don't skate rails.  neither of those have any bearing on making someone a great skateboarder or not a great skateboarder.  apply the hate but do it evenly.

Your comparing something like handrails and transition, are you fucking regular. Rails are scary, transition is mellow and fun, even if its your first time skating transition, its fun to learn and try. Do you think its fun to learn and try to skate a handrail? I doubt that forrest was scared of transition, if you want to compare it to handrails. He didnt want to skate it because he didnt want to look like he was bad at some attribute of skating, so he bitched out like a fuckin fag. Skating is fun, i think forrest needs to remember thats what skating is fun.

Remember Forest said he was out of his element. In other words he sucks at transition or doesn't skate it much, so why would he bother to skate some really tight transition? If he did, he wouldn't get anything to leave a good impression on the judges concerning his transition skills. If anything it would just tarnish his overall performance through out the week. He said he'll skate it when he's old, maybe he was talking shit, maybe that's his sense of humour or maybe it's a little A a little B. It's very understandable he gets more attention for not skating a spot because as Gipper pointed out, he is unliked by many here. It's human nature to aplly more negative energy towards something you dislike. But come on, he didn't skate something. Yeah he didn't even try, but so what. I"m sure he knows what he enjoys skating. Even if that means he ends up being less well rounded. You can't force someone to skate something they're not into even if that makes them a "pussy."

The second day seems like nothing but booty spots.

wait until the episode we go to santa cruz! you'll really hate it.
but, the last spot of the current day, which is shown on episode 7 coming wednesday, i think you will approve of whole-heartedly. forrest shuts it down in an unbelievable way, too.

as for forrest at the flower shop, i don't fault him for sitting it out. it is really hard to skate and from what i saw later in the week, no, he's not comfortable on tranny. i told all of them to conserve their energy-- it's a long-ass week of skating all day, and if you don't want to skate some spot we go to, save your energy for a spot you do want to skate. you'll have a better chance if getting something sick that way. i do agree it's best to skate everything, and i do agree it's weak to make statements like "i'll skate it when i get older", but i do think it's fine to sit it out if you don't like a spot.

I just hated how short this clip was! If they're going to be this well produced, make 'em a little longer please!

this is the shortest episode of the bunch.

as for john's head-- he took that beating like a champ. no drama, just got up, went to the hospital, had his health insurance in hand, made his phone calls, took all those staples to the head without a blink,  back in the van. man style. and yeah, that hill really was as burly as it looked, maybe burlier.

the smarter thing to do would have been to try to make the turn, which i could only assume he was planning on doing when he started in on it, totally true. but given the circumstance he got himself into, he took the ballsier way out-- he rode the hill out all the way to the flat, which makes it legit to me. he didn't jump off early, he didn't save himself the pain. he rode it out, and that does take balls.

John is gnar-as-fuck. not really much more to say about that. Mango's double nose-wheelie was the bee's knees. Forrest's switch 180 five-o was 2 dope. can't wait to see Forrest put on a show in the next episode. great job Whiteley and everyone else involved. these lil episodes are so damn good!

fs 180 nosegrind if defenitely the sickest trick in the episode. Maybe not the most apealing.
I like the double nosemanny and ollie manny ollie by nik.

And if omar says that's the fastest he saw someone skating ever, it was serious bizniz

that's what i was thinking.  someone who is one of the gnarliest dudes, and who's been around forever saying that is notable


grim - i had to look up what "skitching" was.  even though we used to do that when we were kids, i've never heard that term

forrest merked the whole episode with one trick.
john is now certified gnar for not bailing after that second powerslide. super-gnar.
mango's growing on me, but i need to see him rip harder. i liked the skitch.

forrest is killing shit, and his attitude ain't as bad as some cats i know. dude's just a little rough and not all friendly and shit. i'm aight with that actually. he could learn some basic manners, but maybe not, i don't care. that switch 180 NG was tall and proper. the cig was a little drehobl-esque and i liked that shit too. can't wait to see him really kill next ep.

So he's a dick to everyone but his friends? That still qualifies him as an asshole. "He's super cool once you get to know him" usually just means that once you've become accustomed to his arrogant shithead exterior, his eventual lack of stand-offishness seems pretty "cool" in comparison.

And once again, nobody is really talking shit on what he does on his board, in fact, whenever he does a trick everyone says it's the best thing in the episode. It is possible to judge what people do on and off the board separately, however, the nature of the competition, with the whole skate camp atmosphere and the video cameras watching their every move, means that people are inevitably going to be judging them based on their character as well as their skill. I think everyone pretty much admits that he's the best skater there but it's equally obvious that he wouldn't be the best guy the spend a whole week hanging out and shredding with.

That's bullshit. Skateboarding isn't just about ability. Personality is a huge part of it. How many people have been screwed over and ostracized by the industry because they were assholes. It definitely should be taken into consideration-especially if SLAP is (somewhat) putting themselves on the line by tacitly backing the winner of every OIAM contest. I wouldn't want to be associated with someone who is an asshole or rude. Like earlygrab said before, there must be something that is stopping this guy from becoming pro from his talent alone and judging from how much this contest has helped people create skateboarding careers, not many people want to deal with a cocky guy just because he can do some good tricks.

That shit will be the gnarliest thing to go down in this contest, and yeah, I heard about that played out asshole doing a played out trick down one of the most played out spots in SF.

Oh, and those bench backs really aren't that high.

however

as crazy as that was, going down a hill really fast and crashing does not make you a great skateboarder.  saying he is amazing just because of that hill bomb is regular, and he would probably say the same thing.   he is really good and i bet he would rather be remembered for doing  great tricks with good style than the guy who went fast and crashed.  that is just gravity.    not hating on him at all...only on people on slap.

I've seen that hill. Right next to the flowershop. Its pretty gnarly from where he is. If others could do it, the list would be very short. Hassan claiming its the fastest he's ever seen somebody go kinda confirms what I am saying, but whatever, you are regular. Also, you see your homie Forrest trying to practice hill bombing in the episode where they skate the flowershop? He's going to have some trouble come hill time.
And Tyroneshoelaces, you're regular. I came down on you hard for being seriously stupid, not because I was upset. I'm not flipping out over here.

Obviously neither of you have any experience bombing hills whatsoever, that's ok, just shut the fuck up when it comes time to judge the gnarliness of a hill bomb.

As far as being remembered as a great for one hill bomb?

wow, so much bickering! for what's it worth, when gipper was talking trash to me on the forum and i invited him to come through the office and talk in person, he came, and while he wasn't as intense of a trash talker in person, he did indeed let his opinions be known plainly in person, which i respected. COTG i can't comment on in terms of person vs. persona-- i tried to get the tranny challenge interview going with him to no avail. maybe some day. i like meeting forum people in person, but in the end it's more about who they are on here that keeps it all interesting and entertaining.

as for santa cruz, the main reason i took them there was to get in a good ditch spot for the week, the one people know as guzman's secret ditch, and that turned out great for pretty much everybody. we also wanted to skate the morrissey rail (stefan kickflip back tail, guzman, kickflip back smith, bledsoe fs hurricane, etc) but it was knobbed, so we skated some other crap. having lived in SC for years, yeah, lots of garbage, but some gems, too.

But questions don't do that, answers do.

Unless the implication is that Slap is sitting on a lot of footage of Forrest saying a lot of shit that would reverse the negative reception he's been getting (his persona, at least). I mean, the editing shows he's good at skateboarding... if there were an agenda against him it seems like that would be the focus of any selective editing.

Not to mention, Mark's a good dude... if you did an interview with him you'd come across however you come across, not Mark's version of you. It'd be cool to see that shit.

it's not a "they" situation-- it's me. and try me. you'll find otherwise. ask any of the hundreds of people i have interviewed over the past decade if i've done that to them. ask anybody who has ever read any of the interviews i've done if that's what i do. i'm offering you a huge chance at some exposure. if you don't want it, that's cool, i respect your wishes, but don't be disrespectful and tell me i'm going to slander you somehow.

i never said you were an idiot, and i don't think you are. that said, don't tell me to get the fuck out of here. i'm nothing but truthful, offering and upfront with you, and you have now repeatedly but rude in return.
what's wrong with asking him about why he's not skating? not that i asked him personally, i was inside the spot when the question was asked of him, but i wouldn't have a problem asking him that if i had wanted to know right then.
forrest made his presence and thoughts known in a strong way. showing what he said and did is simply part of the the week. feel however you want about it, think whatever you want to think about my "agenda"-- i don't care. i know myself, i know the events of the week, and i'm totally comfortable with showing what went down.

Hyped two of my close friends Mango and Matty got in it this year. Too bad neither of them won though. Forrest is a prick. That dude is good but won't go anywhere in skating because of his personality/attitude. "I'm not here for the experience. I'm here to win." That dude doesn't appreciate shit. I know one of the dudes over at Slap pulled Forrest aside and straight up told him that he has the worst attitude out of anyone he has ever met. He did tre flip 50-50 on Clipper hubba but that doesn't mean shit to me.

i said there was no "they" offering to interview you, that's just me. there were plenty of "theys" making the OIAM episodes, of course-- myself, alex klein the director, justin the skate filmer, three documentary/HD filmers, the two photographers, etc.
yes, there were plenty of people who were bugged out by forrest. i never said anything contrary to that. he rubbed people in a crazy way, 100%, but that doesn't mean he's been made out to be something he wasn't.

If someone's acting out with a bad case of the cold shoulder to everyone, a little reality check in the form of visual evidence of their actions and words is what they need. If the person decides to check themselves after, their choice. Lack of respect and a bad attitude to people in the industry will--surprise--not get you very far in the industry, unless you're running with some company who will manipulate your character into something people will love. Which can be argued in Forrest's case in these episodes.

If people decide to like them or not after, their choice. Example: Bukowski. Undeniable asshole, hates people but has his idols, has admitted to it numerous times. I still love that guy's work though. Like most other people, I dig Forrest's skating, but I wouldn't want to break bread with the dude. And it's not even in his solo interviews or the way he's edited, when they show everyone else he seems to always be on his own. Whether that's a preference or the fact that he didn't vibe with all the other guys, I dunno. Sounds like you can't see the Forrest for the trees though, Child. He's obviously getting this kind of reputation for a reason, physical skill doesn't buy you good press all the time; Darwin's theory works in other ways.

And for the record, I think the interview would be a good idea.  How the fuck would you come off as a jerk in an interview like that anyway?

"So, how was it learning to skate transition?"
"I dunno, it's for old people and little kids but it's kind of scary."

Haven't heard that one before.

but the contradictions here are overwhelming; dudes like heath and leo seem like assholes too-of course unless you get to know them (i assume). this applies to people in general; so i dont understand whant people are asking for here-he could be artificially humble or genuinly a dick, personally i'd rather take the latter, at least he's not trying hard to be lovable.

Not to say arrogance of any kind is good, but it's different when a guy who's been around for a while is being arrogant compared to a guy who's trying to come up. That kind of arrogance comes off as being bitter, like an old man. New guy coming up seems disrespectful and hot-headed. Which could work, and I could be wrong. A lot of people seem to like him regardless; he's definitely entertaining. I'd like to see more.

some say hes being a dick, some say hes keeping it real, i simply think hes being upfront about his cocky assholish ways.
do i think he'll get a sponsor?  probably not.

There's not much of a story with me going to visit slap. I just kinda talk shit to Whiteley periodically, it wasn't a huge dramatic thing. He invited me to come down and check it out. I went, got some free slap shit, met him, ate some tacos and took a tour. I don't hide my opinions in real life, I think a lot of me doesn't translate to text, and really, I'm actually just an animated version of myself on here. I still hate Reagan, have extreme left-wing politics, love hills and transition and shit, and find rail skating boring. Shit just comes off crazy on here, and sometimes, instead of pulling back when I realize it, I embrace it.


Oh, and that one dude may have pulled back on claiming that hill bomb took no skill, but plenty since him have claimed it. That shit takes skill for sure. Stupidity was part of it for sure, but its that awesome kind of stupidity that produces great skating. And although a stupid bro might try a hill like that after a couple of jager bombs, he wouldn't make it very far before eating shit hard. John made it to the bottom of the hill, he just fucking died after it because there was nowhere to go. If you watch the angle from the top, there is a part that dips and he lofts up for a second. That could take out skilled hillbombers easily.

also, longboarders? Yeah, they can bomb bigger hills on those set ups, and can't stop for shit. That's why you see them on country roads but you don't see much of them in SF. A dude fully padded and on a 5 foot long board on huge soft wheels with some crazy suspension trucks can bomb a lot pretty easily. And that's crazy that you admit to posting on a longboarding forum.

Gonzo is sick, somebody should make a "team eyes too close together" banner for him.

Can't wait for the Sean Sheffey interview to come out. Slap is the shit. These videos are awesome too. I definitely felt terrible for that kid that wrecked. I was introduced to hill bombing really early on in my life being from Hawaii and living on a hill. Up in Seattle there are some serious hills, and I've seen lots of drunk, hill bombing at night, with the ground wet, super gnarly. Especially flying through an inner section or timing the lights and the ground being super rough from the rainy weather. I have a high respect for hill bombs, but please be careful.

the way forrest focused on that double set was incredible. to get those three tricks that quickly is as good or better than almost any pro could hope for at that spot- his skill and focus are undeniable. he gets some other really good tricks throughout the week, but this session was something else. props to him for putting those three down- like i said in the video, he killed that spot, and those tricks will be remembered.
another thing- how about that doubleflip from reuben? i don't really like that trick a ton, but i also don't think i've ever seen a better caught one down something that big. check out the article with the photos, you can really see how well he caught it.

sorry, but you can't claim to know what's definite or not unless you are the person doing the editing- which you are not. it is in because it was funny. if you pay attention to the rest of the episode, you hear forrest say he likes john, right? so why would he dis him intentionally? he didn't, he was looking the other way, john gets left hanging, it's funny. end of story. also, if you pay attention you will hear me giving forrest unabashed props for what he did, and if you read above, you will see me typing them as well. there is no agenda against forrest. since i know you will go on thinking whatever you like about it, which is totally your prerogative, i am hereby done arguing about it with you.

I agree with COTG on a couple things now. Although I still think Forrest is a douche bag he does kinda make the episodes and he did not intentionally diss the dude. The guy was in mid session and was looking the other way, I really don't see why it was edited in except to make him even worse that he already made himself look. I think what it comes down to is that he didn't win and all this over editing of his douchness is to make people think they made the right choice. The other place I'm going to agree with COTG is that Rueben is possibly just as annoying as Forrest just in a different way, however he is much younger so I'll blame it on that. It is obvious that these dudes LOVE Rueben and I'm calling it right now that he'll win.

Forrest did kill that double set those are 3 good ass tricks and the switch tre was perfect. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

Yeah....2 different personalities that are on opposite sides of the spectrum.

Can't believe we are only on episode 7 when there is going to be 24 altogether. I love how Forrest said he didn't even try on the bigflip when that trick seemed the hardest. Got to love this guy for making OIAM such a great show. It wouldn't be the same if he wasn't in the contest.

A kid being stoked on a sick trick is annoying? That one is perplexing. He's not some 10 year old screaming like a banshee.

And people still claiming Whiteley has an agenda with the editing are fucking fools. When is a dude left hanging not funny? If people are taking it too far, that's them. Slap's used what they've used because it's what they had of him. I doubt they're using only the worst footage, it's just the footage they have of him that's relevant to the current video. Seriously, he just comes off like that. There's no editing tricks making him look like a cocky cock. He just is. Slap isn't making him look worse, he's doing that. I'm not trying to bash him, because he did kill that double set, and the ss 180 nosegrind from last time blew my mind. Just his attitude is sour.

Anyone who thinks the clip of homie left hanging was done to make Forrest look bad is being willfully ignorant.

I'm not a fan of Forrest... he's definitely a talented skater, but he's a kook. Having said that, if there was ever a Forrest's redemption episode, this would be it.

As a non-fan, this makes me like the dude a little more because I got to see him rip and talk less, but how anyone could interpret this one as a dis on him just doesn't make sense.

this is correct as far as i could tell while standing right there. i don't think he would have been satisfied with a clip. he re-does other things later in the week that weren't 100%.

episode count-- it's gonna be 18 all in all. we expand the length of them and condense days into 1 or 2 episodes for awhile. the release pace will also slow a little around the holidays.

also, gonzo tried some hardflips but it wasn't there for him that session.

It's the editor's fault that some people aren't looking at what's actually happening?

I think our differing perspectives on this is funny... I'm not a Forrest supporter, but found this episode to shine him in a pretty damn good light, while you do support him, and think there's something in here that makes him look bad.

In the end, people are just going to see what they want to I guess.

It's entertaining how Child comes on here to constantly tell people what they think. I'm amazed anyone waste their time trying to reason with him.

Forrest finally got to show off. Killed it. Props. Did anyone expect him not to eventually kill it after seeing his sponsor video in the any of the other "stop picking on Forrest" threads?

I would like to see more skating. Even bails or mediocre lines. It's hard to see who is good at skating and who is good at tricks when you just show the days top 5 tricks.

straight double kickflips over a long gap take a shitload of skill.

Not a fan of double flips at all, and it made it more wack doing it after forrest had already shut down the spot. Like really? your going to do a double flip after seeing that?

One of the better and funnier episodes. John being a jerk is an unsupported claim. Dude got left hanging but Forrest said he's down for him later on. I saw it as funny. Reuban and Forrest, it's just a clash of personalities. Yet again, Forrest didn't go into the Flower Shop to watch the session or hang around, which is why there was that focus of him being outside of the group. When the other dudes don't skate, they're always in the background and giving props to the guys putting it down. Except for Reuban, because no one likes double flips, even if they were done perfect. Good job anyway.

Personally though, I watched that shit and didn't get the vibe he was ignoring him. If anything that John dude looked like a douche for hanging the arm so long when Forest wasn't looking.

John, next time just shout "Nice job Forest. I want to touch hands with you." and this will all be avoided.

I knew something was up. You have a regular ass nigga in there with these weirdos. Are you really about to hug a nigga with his shirt off? I told you niggas.
If I may use one of your favorites:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The look on Forrest's face when dude tried to hug him was amazing, someone should make an animated .gif of that shit or just a screen grab of that moment where his face is just like horrified that he's getting hugged.

He did fuck that double set up though.
Those three tricks were sick and done so quick, and on the switch 360 flip his legs looked so crazy like he might not have a chance and then he stomped it, truly mental.

And it also looked like he did not leave dude hanging intentionally, he definitely seemed to be looking in the other direction by then.

At this point it's like you can't wait to see what Forrest is gonna do next, straight up entertainment right here.

calling out a dude for doing a trick regardless of what it was after someone else already did something is stupid. if youre skating with friends your gonna wanna skate regardless and seeing someone else land stuff only hypes you up more.i wouldve done a trick i was feeling despite that trick being less awesome, atleast you landed something. and rube and the rest of the guys seem like dudes who would actually be fun to skate with unlike forrest who while talented, his attitude whether hes serious or not is not going to carry him far in the industry or outside of skating.

Seems like all other could skate gaps/stairs, but chose not to. Only Rueben and Forrest was throwing down.

I'm sure I could ollie that set.  And if I tried really really hard I might be able to do some other shit down it.  But if I went there with a crew, and someone immediately started throwing down Bigspin Flips, I would definitely sit down and watch.  Pretty sure that's why most of those guys didn't bother.  Forrest was on it, may as well sit back and enjoy the show.

I'm sure this is the same reason why Forrest didn't skate that bowl.  I know for a fact that some of my friends will skate transition when I'm not around.  But if I'm there, they kinda don't bother because the stuff they're trying to learn is basics to me.  It's not a bragging thing, it's just that I'm at another level than they are at that type of skating, and it's a bit disheartening for them to try.  

Or for instance...I can skate ledges decently well, but if P.Rod and Shane O'neil showed up, I'd get myself as far away from that ledge as possible.  Hell...if TNT showed up and started skating a bowl, I'd probably sit down and watch.

I mean it would have been cool to see at least more than one other dude try something down it but I think they knew at that point that they weren't going to get anything gnarlier than what Forrest was putting down

Also after that first try 360 I'm sure dude's were like I GOT NOTHING FOR THIS SPOT.

I'm sure I could ollie that set.  And if I tried really really hard I might be able to do some other shit down it.  But if I went there with a crew, and someone immediately started throwing down Bigspin Flips, I would definitely sit down and watch.  Pretty sure that's why most of those guys didn't bother.  Forrest was on it, may as well sit back and enjoy the show.

I'm sure this is the same reason why Forrest didn't skate that bowl.  I know for a fact that some of my friends will skate transition when I'm not around.  But if I'm there, they kinda don't bother because the stuff they're trying to learn is basics to me.  It's not a bragging thing, it's just that I'm at another level than they are at that type of skating, and it's a bit disheartening for them to try. 

Or for instance...I can skate ledges decently well, but if P.Rod and Shane O'neil showed up, I'd get myself as far away from that ledge as possible.  Hell...if TNT showed up and started skating a bowl, I'd probably sit down and watch.

Man I'm disappointed in you. You're supposed to hold your shit down. If p rod came to my ledges that nigga would definitely know who's spot it was.

I don't think P Rod would skate a curb.

not feeling that rueben kid, seems like he's trying too hard to be the "super nice dude who's down for everything". Mind you, he's 16, so it's better than acting like a douche. Not a fan of double flips at all, and it made it more wack doing it after forrest had already shut down the spot. Like really? your going to do a double flip after seeing that? No one should have even skated after that big-flip, show some respect and sit down and watch forrest kill it. Leave the double flips to kerry getz.


[close]
calling out a dude for doing a trick regardless of what it was after someone else already did something is stupid. if youre skating with friends your gonna wanna skate regardless and seeing someone else land stuff only hypes you up more.i wouldve done a trick i was feeling despite that trick being less awesome, atleast you landed something. and rube and the rest of the guys seem like dudes who would actually be fun to skate with unlike forrest who while talented, his attitude whether hes serious or not is not going to carry him far in the industry or outside of skating.

whatever dude, I wouldn't say I'm calling the dude out we are on the internet after all, since when did my opinion matter? last time I checked this thing is a competition, not just "skating with friends", and why throw down a wack ass double flip after the spot has just been destroyed, seems rather pointless to me.

Agreed 1000%, and I think your mention of the other dudes sitting back and not skating is valid as well.

I don't have any animosity towards double flips, but even if I did, the fact is that only two of them really skated the set... and even if all of the other cats just did one footers down it, it would have shown their own diversity in what kind of shit they'll skate and if anything, just enhance the fact that Forrest had the right to chisel his name on every stair there.

I wish Forrest had tried to at least to an edger on transition, but I also would have liked to have seen some of the other contest participants do a go-to trick of some sort no matter how basic they may have been compared to the difficulty and variety that Forrest displayed.

I can understand John sitting out though, as just an ollie could've made his frankenstaples open up, probably even with a perfect landing.

I agree that Forrest has the potential to win this contest but winning it will get him no where as far as skating for a career goes. I know there are some examples of skaters with messed up attitudes that make a decent living with skating but who would honestly pick this guy up if the majority of people out there hate him (actually that is a questions because I feel like he could fit on some teams and sponsors but just don't know who). Only team I really see him on is Selfish or maybe on a Baker team if he meshes with those guys. Shit....maybe even DGK would fuck with him as well.

i dont direct comments at people unless i quote them & say "you fucking idiot....." ya know? not to sound stupid but, i'm not going to just log on here & talk about posters without calling them out straight by their name. i also can't keep up with 28 pages of dumbasses with the same fucking opinion..... i'm not putting you in that category, i'm putting all the people with 12 posts that are logging in here saying the same shit about how ungreatful & how he didn't give fives & blah blah blah blah i can't read all that shit so, i just fast forward through it & say this.... i take back my comments of mark or daryl directly being negative or mean towards forrest or the editor trying to make him  look bad, it seems like it at first with the whole golden gate thing but, who cares i'll pretend like i didn't notice. as for your question, no i don't think the high five bullshit was used to make him lok like a dick, i think it was obvious that he wasn't paying attention to the dude & just walked off. besides, forrest gave him a shout out & said he liked the dude but, that he was just quiet. so, he probably didn't expect that dude to try & give him a high five ya know? like i don't think he expects everybody to run up & be all stoked on his shit especially that dude when he just said he was quiet & the dude was sitting by himself against the wall yaknow? forrest wouldn't turn down a high five, not even from rueben obviously ya know? i mean he will turn down a shirtless hug hahah but i think that was the best-sportsmenship in this whole thing & i hate to use that word because i dont see skating as a sport but, i just mean, forrest is the last dude that's gonna give you a fucking hug, especially rueben, so not being like "no dude thats pretty fucking gay" deserves a round of applause from all you fools. i used to hate this fool but cotg is on point in this thread not because he says the same shit as me but because he knows what he is talking about.

Nick Merlino: One of the most amazing skateboarders on earth who possessed a horrible attitude in the beginning of his career.
He ended up burning a lot of bridges.

Many people seem to forget that a sponsored skateboarder is a billboard.

Now, if you like his attitude or not, (Forest's) that's up to you, but the industry is a small, tight-knit community, if you rub someone the wrong way, no matter how incredible you are, you can shut yourself out from great opportunities.
Forest needs to take a hint from skateboarders such as Nick, Bastien, Austin and others who kill it, but had their egos ruin their careers pre maturly.

and just like i said, no one is making a big deal about the other 5 dudes not skating a spot.

Seems like all other could skate gaps/stairs, but chose not to. Only Rueben and Forrest was throwing down.

I'm sure I could ollie that set.?  And if I tried really really hard I might be able to do some other shit down it.?  But if I went there with a crew, and someone immediately started throwing down Bigspin Flips, I would definitely sit down and watch.?  Pretty sure that's why most of those guys didn't bother.?  Forrest was on it, may as well sit back and enjoy the show.

I'm sure this is the same reason why Forrest didn't skate that bowl.?  I know for a fact that some of my friends will skate transition when I'm not around.?  But if I'm there, they kinda don't bother because the stuff they're trying to learn is basics to me.?  It's not a bragging thing, it's just that I'm at another level than they are at that type of skating, and it's a bit disheartening for them to try.? 

Or for instance...I can skate ledges decently well, but if P.Rod and Shane O'neil showed up, I'd get myself as far away from that ledge as possible.?  Hell...if TNT showed up and started skating a bowl, I'd probably sit down and watch.

Nick Merlino: One of the most amazing skateboarders on earth who possessed a horrible attitude in the beginning of his career.
He ended up burning a lot of bridges.

Many people seem to forget that a sponsored skateboarder is a billboard.

Now, if you like his attitude or not, (Forest's) that's up to you, but the industry is a small, tight-knit community, if you rub someone the wrong way, no matter how incredible you are, you can shut yourself out from great opportunities.
Forest needs to take a hint from skateboarders such as Nick, Bastien, Austin and others who kill it, but had their egos ruin their careers pre maturly.

That episode did seem slanted against his personality actually. I mean, I'm sure he's a dick anyway, otherwise he wouldn't make people want to portray him as one, but the fact that they explicitly point out his 10th try then show a clip of him saying he probably only tried to skate it 10 times total on top of leaving the dude hanging kinda did. Obviously the dude was exaggerating, but it just seemed like a super subtle dig for some reason. And whoever is claiming that the editor didn't know people were going to think he was a dick because they would have to be idiots to think that- I guarantee whoever editted this has come on here, and therefore most know that thousands of morons will definitely be watching this.

Its funny that everybody is loving on that double flip, because it made me reconsider my respect for them. Next to the shit Forrest was doing, a double flip just seems like something that looks really technical, but really isn't. Like "Oh he's killing it, if I want to compare I need to do a kickflip that flips twice" it just seems silly to me for some reason. I mean, I'm sure I couldn't do it down that, but the tricks Forrest did and Gonzo's hardflip were gnarlier by far.

Considering Forrest's open and loud homophobia (one of the first things he says is reassurance that his tricks are heterosexual) I feel like Mango and Reuben are straight fucking with Forrest just to make him feel uncomfortable. Either way, Mango is rad.

its all casting, writing and editing just like any other reality show. the skating is quite good though.

p.s. on the whole missed daps ordeal: i dont think that forrest was intentionally snubbing jon, or as forrest referred to as the quiet guy. Jon didnt speak up and say something like, "leave me hanging," or, "fuck your props."  if you look closely you will notice that the only two people that probably knew that this had happened at this point are the camera operator and jon himself. Not even jack curtain saw it. Im calling this the Jack Curtain Defense.

Double flip is a tad easier than hardflip for me, but trick difficulty always differs from person to person.
Not saying I'm backing reuben's trick selection, but he made his look better than most. Hardflip is obviously the better trick though

to me, hardflips seem to just be barely more difficult than a kickflip, and about the same amount of effort. i always seem to have to kick super hard or put my feet in weird positions to do double flips. must just be me then.

Yeah that is how it was back in the day when wheels were hella small, double flips were fucking easy but I haven't tried to do one in forever.
The way I see it, double flips, much like underflips and late flips, came and went a long time ago for a reason, they were pretty much fucking stupid, and now for some reason they're back and a lot of people think they're cool but I still think they're ugly and unnecessary.

I mean if a double flip is supposedly so much radder than a regular kickflip, why don't guys do triple or quadruple flips, because by that reasoning wouldn't that be cooler than a double flip?
I mean go quintuple with it why not.
Might as well sextuple flip!

I find it easy to do double flip that hardflip, When i double flip, the key is to jump high, not so much the flick. When I try a hardflip I concentrate on fs shove it first then kickback with my front foot, sort of a mind fuck at times.

Forrest obviously rubbed a lot of people the wrong way for the start and acted like an asshole. Why should they potray him as anything else than that? Go out of their way to make him look like nothing of the sort happened? Fuck that. You reap what you sow. Like the board breaking incident for instance. Forrest's friend here was like "I try to pretend they didn't try to make him look bad". Well, you just don't act like that. You say please, you say thank you. Normal rules of presenting yourself in the world, no? Especially if someone is lending you a hand. Leaving something like that out would have been twisting the truth cause it's so fucking weird he acted like that.

And Slap most defintely did not play down his skating, quite the opposite. I think the reason for numbering the tries on the bigflip was to give an idea how quick it went, how on it he was and how close to nailing it right away he was, not to set him up for the interview.

As for winning the contest, or getting hooked up by a company, skill only won't do it. Nobody wants to hire a dickhead who's hard to work with.

since COTG is calling us out on having something against forrest, lets just show him doing tricks and leave out the clips of him saying the stupid shit he says.
i might be wrong but its obvious that forrest suffers from a pretty bad case of foot in mouth disease.  i find it odd that right after COTG made a stink about it that forrest was suddenly cured.

Forrest- Jock asshole
Mango- wacky, creative skater, tiltmode type dude
John- fucking hesher (not in the metal sense, in skating it has come to have its own meaning)

over the several years i have lurked on this board some of the posters have stated they met COTG and he was really cool and just a normal guy and fun to skate with.   they have also said the exact same thing about Gipper too.  

it sort of shows how ridiculous some of you are by thinking SLAP has much  to do with real life

well except for Rawb.  he's one of the best posters and i hope he is exactly the same in real life...which i think he is.

It definitely shows you guys don't understand anything, if you think me and forrest or similar at all.

In this thread you have claimed you don't brag, you don't talk shit, and that you and Forrest have no similarities. You are the least self aware human being ever. Your like on the level with John Nash with your view of reality.

I like how there are all different types of skaters in the finals. Here's my breakdown:
Forrest- Jock asshole
Mango- wacky, creative skater, tiltmode type dude
John- fucking hesher (not in the metal sense, in skating it has come to have its own meaning)
East bay guy (I forgot his name too somehow) style guy
Reuben- hyper skate rat
Gonzo- So cal rail gap dude, the quiet killer
Nik- east coast dude

[close]

i'm pretty sure Gip posted "who?" next to his name because we've barely seen any footage of him. we're all busy talking about Forrest, but not many of you have acknowledged the fact that Nik is nowhere to be found. did he even have a board during OIAM? did he bring the wrong pair of shoes with him or something?

Isn't the footage we've seen so far only from the first day? If you think about it, most of the spots were kind of jumping spots and if you're not that much of a jumper, what are you gonna do? The same thing with Mango, I suppose. A gap, stair sets and a high bench. I can see a lot of skaters not having too much to give at those spots.

Also, that Nik-dude tore a good sized chunk off his palm at that nasty "over the rail into a bank" spot. That might slow things down a bit, too.

and before anyone starts this shit again, let's point out that gonzo and forrest did not skate the first spot of the day, but lets also keep in mind it is one of many and i bet some people who skated the ditch wont skate some of the other spots later.

Just that whole conversation with the thank yous is such a reality show sound bite. This whole thing makes me feel how when I found out what the Berrics was. At the time, the Berrics were revolutionary for just putting out so much footage of your favorite skaters skating. This OIAM contest is that next new thing that is so different from what is out. I hope this kind of spawns more new ideas at Slap. Forrest reality show! Like showing him trying to get sponsors or but telling them to fuck off cause he's over it before it even starts.

don't forget hes the youngest dude in there so he might feel a need to be respectful to his elders. 
people forget that some parents actually raise their kids to have manners.   


its kind of sad that forrest didn't have a trick for that spot either.

It's funny how Forrest can't fathom that somebody like that exists haha. The remarks about him being an ass kisser is whack. He was only 16 and it was one of his first trips skating outside of SD pretty much, he was honestly just stoked to be there and get out of school for a week haha.

huh? do you mean like crooks to fakie and 180 fakie 5-0's? (which are 90 degree turns to fakie 5-0.) i just think it's funny that you love ledges yet you hate an obstacle that requires you to get more speed to go up a bank to grind/slide on a ledge. because in order to kickflip front tail a bank to ledge you have to almost do a whole frontside flip into it, which would be harder than on a regular ledge. kind of works both ways, i guess.

(i think i kind of get what you're saying though)

oh and something i wanted to point out. The dude that's having the hardest time skating the spots is from east coast.
Title: Re: Official One In A Million 2010 Thread (ep. 8)
Post by: Ronald Wilson Reagan on December 17, 2010, 02:51:07 PM
That ditch is raw as fuck. Its fanned concrete, steep, the ledge is kind of awkward and getting speed to hit it is not as cut and dry as it seems. There are all sorts of weird patches of grass and cracks along the bottom and you gotta push your ass off to get to the top anyway. Its not just an average bank to ledge. COTG wouldn't get shit on there except a noseslide.

And seriously, all you people pointing out every time somebody doesn't skate a spot need to just stop.
 First of all, not being able to skate tranny, an entire genre of skating, not just a spot, makes you a shittier skater. Second of all, the worst thing a person can do is put down a spot that they are unable to skate. Its obnoxious and closeminded. That's what Forrest did in the flowershop with his "I'll skate that when I get old" line. When Mango couldn't skate the flatgap he wasn't like "I'm not some socal loser" he said that shit was scary. Forrest was just as scared of the flowershop, but instead of just admitting he was outclassed at that one spot (not a big deal) he makes it seem like its the spot's fault he can't skate it or something, or that actually having the ability to skate it was something to be ashamed of.
He's a punk.

I'd enjoy Forrest so much more if it weren't for his dickriders coming on to this forum to act like we should take his personality seriously. If I could just laugh at him, I'd like him by now for sure. But when his obnoxious dickriders come on here, its ruins it. It would be like watching Jersey Shore with a bunch of Guidos. As soon as they started giving me shit for laughing at the GTL I would go from laughing at and liking them to just hating them.
honestly, I'd like them all more without the dick riders. You guys getting Nik's back so hard just because he is from the east coast are helping to prove every word of shittalking COTG has ever done about the east coast. Dude didn't get shit for the first two days, and even admitted it, but you guys come on here acting like him being from the east coast is on par with John's hill bombing and tranny stomping and Forrest's double set annhialation. It's not. Honestly, if people from the east coast are so great at dealing with fucked up rough spots, Nick should be killing it, but somehow he's going to crusty spots and watching kids from SD rip it harder than him. Nik ripped his hand open is your excuse? Look at John a day after opening up his scalp deep enough to see his skull. Still getting clips. The backtail 180 Nik did on that bank to ledge was sick, and without the dickriders thats all I'd say, but now you got me needing to defend claiming the dude hadn't done shit, and the dude you came to rep looks shittier. Congratulations.

The bank to ledge Gino sw noseslide in Chocolate Tour is not easier than a sw noseslide on a ledge and I'm sure there are more examples. Also pretty sure TX has done sw bs flip nosegrind, as a lot of people considering, Gino did it without a flick a long time ago.

That ditch is raw as fuck. Its fanned concrete, steep, the ledge is kind of awkward and getting speed to hit it is not as cut and dry as it seems. There are all sorts of weird patches of grass and cracks along the bottom and you gotta push your ass off to get to the top anyway. Its not just an average bank to ledge. COTG wouldn't get shit on there except a noseslide.
HHAHAHAHAHA you're an idiot.

Because they allow you to do tricks that you probably couldn't do on a regular ledge.

huh? do you mean like crooks to fakie and 180 fakie 5-0's? (which are 90 degree turns to fakie 5-0.) i just think it's funny that you love ledges yet you hate an obstacle that requires you to get more speed to go up a bank to grind/slide on a ledge. because in order to kickflip front tail a bank to ledge you have to almost do a whole frontside flip into it, which would be harder than on a regular ledge. kind of works both ways, i guess.

(i think i kind of get what you're saying though)

HAHAHA who cares if they "require speed" you end up going slow down the bank anyway. That shit is extra gay.

oh and something i wanted to point out. The dude that's having the hardest time skating the spots is from east coast.

you always seem to crack me up on here. hehe. the COTG vs The East Coast beef continues...

I'd enjoy Forrest so much more if it weren't for his dickriders coming on to this forum to act like we should take his personality seriously. If I could just laugh at him, I'd like him by now for sure. But when his obnoxious dickriders come on here, its ruins it. It would be like watching Jersey Shore with a bunch of Guidos. As soon as they started giving me shit for laughing at the GTL I would go from laughing at and liking them to just hating them.
honestly, I'd like them all more without the dick riders. You guys getting Nik's back so hard just because he is from the east coast are helping to prove every word of shittalking COTG has ever done about the east coast. Dude didn't get shit for the first two days, and even admitted it, but you guys come on here acting like him being from the east coast is on par with John's hill bombing and tranny stomping and Forrest's double set annhialation. It's not. Honestly, if people from the east coast are so great at dealing with fucked up rough spots, Nick should be killing it, but somehow he's going to crusty spots and watching kids from SD rip it harder than him.

That just shows you how terrible he is at skateboarding. Asking him if a spot is hard and asking someone that skates if a spot is hard is different In the same way that if you asked a 10 year old girl is 225 pounds heavy, and then asked an NFL linebacker if it's heavy.

IMO Banks to ledges are extremely fun, if you're one of the people that don't enjoy them fine, don't enjoy them, but you're missing out for sure.
Fuck it, I have no qualms saying that I think banks to curbs are even more fun than banks to ledges, but then I guess someone like COTG would think that those were even gayer than a bank to ledge and therefore never to be touched.

Oh well, dudes are gonna skate what they want to skate and shit on stuff that they think sucks, such is life here on the Slap boards.

We could start in LA, hit up my hometown Chi, quick Milwaukee, hit some east coast so we can get some decent "East Coast sucks" quotes out of COTG -- it's a nice excuse for me to get back to LA for a bit.  Gipper -- I'm willing to film some political diatribe too (btw have you seen Waiting for Superman?  thoughts?).

I'm pretty sure he's wearing the same pants and jacket, but if he was wearing the same shirt everyday that would be disgusting, especially for how much he sweats. I'm pretty sure he just has a bunch of black shirts. Plus, in the episode they skated Kezar he was rocking a Spitfire shirt

IMO Banks to ledges are extremely fun, if you're one of the people that don't enjoy them fine, don't enjoy them, but you're missing out for sure.
Fuck it, I have no qualms saying that I think banks to curbs are even more fun than banks to ledges, but then I guess someone like COTG would think that those were even gayer than a bank to ledge and therefore never to be touched.

Oh well, dudes are gonna skate what they want to skate and shit on stuff that they think sucks, such is life here on the Slap boards.

+1

Bank to ledges may be my all time fav type of spots. Also enjoy bank to curbs.

Hah, you lie! I re-watched and saw said digging but they cut before the 'flick'.  He may have yet wiped it in his shirt.

im sure if they skate the bay blocks he wont be phased by the rough ledges and gets a nollie heel nose slide.

They DID skate the  bay blocks. He got nothing over the flatgap, then they skated that street gap on treasure Island, and he didn't get shit. The only time he gets tricks are when a drop is involved. He does that amazingly well, but hasn't shown any sort of ability to do much more than that. He seems to need pretty generic shit to be able to do a trick on it.

I couldn't get any further back without going back to thread instead of the reply screen, but you are terrible at arguing. You make your man look worse every time you argue, and even though I have told you this, you stick with insulting the audience for not liking the same shit you do. Of course you don't see why forrest is a douchebag- You are a bigger douchebag than him. Your argument was terrible claiming that I'm saying he should do pole jams and wall rides. I said FLAT GAP. You know, the kind of gap where you land at the same height you took off from? They've skated two of them, and Forrest hasn't done shit on either. For a guy who doesn't skate anything but gaps, that's blowing it pretty hard.

Nah, I actually thought you were being serious. You can't really blame me seeing as there are actually a good number of people on SLAP that would say something like that in all seriousness.
I have no idea what you said in the HIV thread, I just call people a piece of shit when they say stupid things because it usually offends them.

are you tryin to out do my sarcasm??? i was clearly going over the top to make a joke, cause it has been mentioned a bunch of times that the footage they choose to use of him makes him look bad.......also, is the piece of shit referencing my minuscule input in the HIV thread?? if so, i think your blowing that way out of context, but whatever......how would me being a piece of shit make any difference in whether this stuff matters to me??
[close]
Nah, I actually thought you were being serious. You can't really blame me seeing as there are actually a good number of people on SLAP that would say something like that in all seriousness.
I have no idea what you said in the HIV thread, I just call people a piece of shit when they say stupid things because it usually offends them.

word up, squashed that shit, i definitely back the entire thing and all the skaters involved, this OIAM has been great so far, i was just tryin to point out something that might put some of the arguments in this thread into perspective, although i'm sure some would say its not the same thing

I wanna see what forrest did down those stairs
[close]
it starts with switch & ends with backside flip
[close]
so, can he do anything besides huck himself down stairs? We already know he doesn't skate tranny or ditches...
[close]

im sure if they skate the bay blocks he wont be phased by the rough ledges and gets a nollie heel nose slide.
i have a feeling his ledge moves will be on point. think there was something on the double rock hubba..
[close]
They DID skate the?? bay blocks. He got nothing over the flatgap, then they skated that street gap on treasure Island, and he didn't get shit. The only time he gets tricks are when a drop is involved. He does that amazingly well, but hasn't shown any sort of ability to do much more than that. He seems to need pretty generic shit to be able to do a trick on it.
[close]
switch 180 5-0 on the back of the bench.
[close]
I highlighted where your argument makes no sense. And that sw 180 5-0 was ugly as shit, it was just a tap. I've seen way too many people do way cooler shit in front of my eyes to be impressed with that clip of a tap.
[close]
i highlighted the part where i was pointing out that your argument makes no sense.
[close]
you don't really make a whole lot of sence either you pointed out the switch 180 nosegrind & then agreed that all he can skate is drops? stupid. & yeah dude it's totally blowing it when you don't skate one spot you could have skated gipper? that makes absolutly no sence dude. props to matty though for having been to each of the spots like 900 fucking times before the contest though right? & you call him out on skating nothing but drops but, then you criticize how he skated a tall bench instead of getting tricks on the flat gap? you are a straight up idiot gipper you never say shit that actually makes sence or you just sit & contradict your own opinions alllday.
[close]
you're fucking regular, and that's all there is to it. gipper said forrest doesn't get anything on any spot that's not a drop, so i pointed out the fact that he did a switch 180 5-0 on the back of the bench, but then he decided to pretend like he didn't say that shit about the drop and decided to emphasize the fact that he didn't skate a flat gap.
oh wow i thought you said " i highlighted the part of your argument that makes sence" whooops.

 That boneless was embarrassing. Can Forrest actually ride a skateboard or just flip it down large drops? Mango and Forrest should have their own show where they just get on each others nerves. That Fakie Ollie was too smooth. Can we all move past the fact that this is edited to  showcase every ones individual personality and if you don't like it, you should stop blaming the editing and go read a book.

I was talking about gaps, pointing out he always has something for a gap with a drop, but if you have to land the same height as you took off, he's not getting clips. They skated 2 flatgaps so far and he has been completely absent from the footy of them.

And shouldn't, don't call it the "big bench" because its actually a small bench, and Forrest's trick on it was ugly as sin. He grinded like 1 inch. I agree on Matty Hunt with what you were saying, that he has skated those spots a bunch before- I pointed it out during the voting on videos. Luckily though, his style is good enough that I don't think he could be cheating that. PLenty of locals never learn to skate their spots with style.
The thing that you are missing is really, Forrest isn't in a contest against any of them, he's in a contest against himself. You could have a whole bunch of mongo pushers who couldn't even ollie off of a curb and I'd prefer them. Forrest is comically unlikable, and you coming on representing as his friend talking shit on the other dudes in some sort of terrible attempt to get others to like him or something is completely backfiring.

lol you talk like cotg is the only person that likes forest. aside from the opinions of a message board which you can look at yourself (and see that forest is actually quite popular), everyone I know that has seen the show, and doesn't post on slap (or any forum) actually loves forest. i got friends that dont even skateboard that are hooked on the show because they find forest to be hilarious.

How are any of them lame? Reuben comes off as a little overly-fake-nice? Something like that? It probably just comes off like that because he's the youngest one, getting to go on a free filming vacation with the chance to become sponsored/get noticed. I think most people that age would be acting that way, and super excited at that opportunity.

Most of em seem pretty chill and/or funny to me.

Don't be so defensive, I am serious about pulling for Forest. He is extremely good. I don't know anything about his background, but it definitely seems like he has some social issues, which is common for a lot of skateboarders, myself included, and if so, would make me respect him more than if just had the douche attitude and was negative towards everyone for no reason.

He's definitely done the sickest tricks so far.

Matty has my favorite style out of anyone, needs to drop the "y" off his name though.

Mango is a lot of fun to watch, I forsee him putting out a lot of sick youtube parts in the future(the one edited to "mama's boy" coulda been better, judging by how good he is here.

Rueben is a dickrider of the highest order. Dickriders are the worst people, because they have no opinion, and they'll change for whoever's in front of them. Mango thinks he's funny but he isn't. nik doesn't even exist. matty and gonzalo, are both lame, but still normal. John is a goober. I don't see why he would want to befriend any of those dudes. and then with the actual staff that works there being against him. I wouldn't be hanging out with those niggas either.

Rueben is a dickrider of the highest order. Dickriders are the worst people, because they have no opinion, and they'll change for whoever's in front of them. Mango thinks he's funny but he isn't. nik doesn't even exist. matty and gonzalo, are both lame, but still normal. John is a goober. I don't see why he would want to befriend any of those dudes. and then with the actual staff that works there being against him. I wouldn't be hanging out with those niggas either.
You seem to be a dickrider as well? You keep riding Forrest's jock harder than anyone on here.

And I'm sure none of those "niggas" would hang with you either

Forrest skates drops.  It makes me sad because he does it so fucking well!  You'd think he'd jump outside his box and take his awesome somewhere else... like a ledge, or a curb... maybe a mini-ramp.

seems like he skates more than just drops to me

Forrest's problem is that he is a complete prick. The answer to that is to have some tact, which he has none of, and this is costing him social acceptance. Boo fucking hoo. Maybe he'll learn a lesson and will get a little humble. That dude needs a lesson like that.

I wanna see what forrest did down those stairs
[close]
it starts with switch & ends with backside flip
[close]
so, can he do anything besides huck himself down stairs? We already know he doesn't skate tranny or ditches...
[close]

im sure if they skate the bay blocks he wont be phased by the rough ledges and gets a nollie heel nose slide.
i have a feeling his ledge moves will be on point. think there was something on the double rock hubba..
[close]
They DID skate the?? bay blocks. He got nothing over the flatgap, then they skated that street gap on treasure Island, and he didn't get shit. The only time he gets tricks are when a drop is involved. He does that amazingly well, but hasn't shown any sort of ability to do much more than that. He seems to need pretty generic shit to be able to do a trick on it.
[close]
switch 180 5-0 on the back of the bench.
[close]
I highlighted where your argument makes no sense. And that sw 180 5-0 was ugly as shit, it was just a tap. I've seen way too many people do way cooler shit in front of my eyes to be impressed with that clip of a tap.
[close]
i highlighted the part where i was pointing out that your argument makes no sense.
[close]
you don't really make a whole lot of sence either you pointed out the switch 180 nosegrind & then agreed that all he can skate is drops? stupid. & yeah dude it's totally blowing it when you don't skate one spot you could have skated gipper? that makes absolutly no sence dude. props to matty though for having been to each of the spots like 900 fucking times before the contest though right? & you call him out on skating nothing but drops but, then you criticize how he skated a tall bench instead of getting tricks on the flat gap? you are a straight up idiot gipper you never say shit that actually makes sence or you just sit & contradict your own opinions alllday.
[close]
you're fucking regular, and that's all there is to it. gipper said forrest doesn't get anything on any spot that's not a drop, so i pointed out the fact that he did a switch 180 5-0 on the back of the bench, but then he decided to pretend like he didn't say that shit about the drop and decided to emphasize the fact that he didn't skate a flat gap.
[close]
I was talking about gaps, pointing out he always has something for a gap with a drop, but if you have to land the same height as you took off, he's not getting clips. They skated 2 flatgaps so far and he has been completely absent from the footy of them.

And shouldn't, don't call it the "big bench" because its actually a small bench, and Forrest's trick on it was ugly as sin. He grinded like 1 inch. I agree on Matty Hunt with what you were saying, that he has skated those spots a bunch before- I pointed it out during the voting on videos. Luckily though, his style is good enough that I don't think he could be cheating that. PLenty of locals never learn to skate their spots with style.
The thing that you are missing is really, Forrest isn't in a contest against any of them, he's in a contest against himself. You could have a whole bunch of mongo pushers who couldn't even ollie off of a curb and I'd prefer them. Forrest is comically unlikable, and you coming on representing as his friend talking shit on the other dudes in some sort of terrible attempt to get others to like him or something is completely backfiring. It just makes him a funnier target.
first off, i am not trying to get anyone to fucking like him dude, that's the same as me saying you are trying to get people to dislike him. shut the fuck up. your opinions are opinions[/b}, man. stop telling me how i think or how i'm trying to make you think or, even how i talk. this is the fucking internet dude, you are reading my words & you are trying to tell me what i'm saying? you guys talk about social problems & how that is what ruins forrest's personality but, you motherfuckers lurk slap 24/7 in your dark dungeon of a room..... how anti-social is that? stop trying to pinpoint other people's problems fool & lay off the porn

Ok. From now on I will not judge anybody by what they say or do until I have had a proper dinner (more than just soup) with them and been introduced to their parents.
 I can easily judge this dude, and it seems like plenty of others have as well. When you put yourself out as an asshole, people are going to think you are an asshole.
This dude forget a basic rule of life- make sure to leave a good first impression, because it may be the only impression you ever leave. Its not like Forrest get's special rules because he can big flip double sets.
Honestly, I think a big reason Forrest is a dick is that lame kids like shouldn't won't tell him he's being a prick because they are too busy worshipping his skateboard abilities and acting like his dickhead side doesn't matter.

lol i was mostly referring to the judging based on what his friend says bit. people are crazy different in real life from what they say online, i mean, i bet we would all get along and not talk shit in real life, we all already obviously have a lot in common since skateboarding is usually a pretty big part of someones life (especially if they post on skateboard message boards)

like if i hated someone on here (and i dont), and met them in real life, im pretty sure we'd get along.

Professional skateboarders are essentially performance artists - they perform for our entertainment. You can try to argue it, but it's true. I enjoy watching Forrest skate and I can't wait to hear what comes out of his mouth next. In other words, he is the most entertaining and deserves to win. Granted, I enjoy Reuben's skating the most, but if it came down to watching 3 minutes of his skating footage or watching Forrest skate for one minute and talk for two, I'd most likely go with the latter.

first off, i am not trying to get anyone to fucking like him dude, that's the same as me saying you are trying to get people to dislike him. shut the fuck up. your opinions are opinions[/b}, man. stop telling me how i think or how i'm trying to make you think or, even how i talk. this is the fucking internet dude, you are reading my words & you are trying to tell me what i'm saying? you guys talk about social problems & how that is what ruins forrest's personality but, you motherfuckers lurk slap 24/7 in your dark dungeon of a room..... how anti-social is that? stop trying to pinpoint other people's problems fool & lay off the porn

hahahaha. Your boy is a piece of shit, and so are you. You just confirm that its not editing. If you are one of his friends and this is how you talk, this dude MUST be worthless and as much of a piece of shit as he appears. Way to have his back! HA! You are just making him look worse and worse and are creating more and more reasons to joyfully mock him.

lol judging some dude you've never met, over what his friend (who you've also never met) says on the internet is pretty ridiculous.


[close]
Ok. From now on I will not judge anybody by what they say or do until I have had a proper dinner (more than just soup) with them and been introduced to their parents.
 I can easily judge this dude, and it seems like plenty of others have as well. When you put yourself out as an asshole, people are going to think you are an asshole.
This dude forget a basic rule of life- make sure to leave a good first impression, because it may be the only impression you ever leave. Its not like Forrest get's special rules because he can big flip double sets.
Honestly, I think a big reason Forrest is a dick is that lame kids like shouldn't won't tell him he's being a prick because they are too busy worshipping his skateboard abilities and acting like his dickhead side doesn't matter.

when he did the sw 3 flip even my friend who hasnt skated in like 5 years was blown away. i think thats better than the sw bs flip down the 12 even... i dont know that was pretty amazing too haha. i think the fact that forest does those kind of tricks at spots where ppl are just doing like nollie and double flip it just shows you he is miles better than everyone else.

get off his dick already. the guy is clearly the best skater in the contest but he is an asshole so he wont win, simple as that. if you cant see that you are an idiot. being a pro is about almost completely other shit besides being good at actual skateboarding.
[close]

yeah being pro is about being marketable, but who says idiot assholes can't be marketable? antwuan has probably made his companies so much fucking money, despite being the biggest idiot/asshole...

Antwuan's personality is way different then Forrest. What makes Antwuan marketable is his I don't give a fuck attitude in life....not skateboarding. Even though the lack of footy, I have never seen him shit on skateboarding or other skateboarders.

and based on a lot of comments/the insane amount of attention forrest is getting, I'd bet there is definitely a market for him, maybe not to you, but there's clearly a lot of fans. hell, he could probably just come out with a dvd of him just talking and people would buy it just to see what he says.

I am just talking about how people like Antwuan because of his rebellious lifestyle. There's nothing rebellious about Forrest. Dude just has his own opinions, and I don't think that necessarily markets well for people to support him or his brand that he rides for.

Also Forrest being in this contest or show makes him more acceptable for people to like him. If it was in a different scenario, I think we would think different of the guy.

Forrest Edwards is the only one who looks like he belongs as a sponsored skateboarder. Aside from his tricks and style, he's not bright eyed like the rest of them. It's ok that he doesn't want to be friends with everyone; he left his friends behind and now he's in a competition. To me it seems like he takes the contest the most seriously, which I like.

yeah, in fact i think what Forrest was getting at is that it's actually the opposite. saying "thank you" when someone says cool shirt about a shirt that you just handed is like you taking too much credit for something you had no part in and didn't even pick out..

I dunno from watching his clips in this and his sponsor me tape I'd still say he's extremely talented.. maybe not at alot of different types of skating but all the shit i seen him do was pretty sick.. especially the one where he's skating that awkward concrete park with the yellow handrail...

Balls and Talent aren't the same but if it was a case of him having balls without talent then he would've been broken off the first day skating that double set. If you just go deep with no skill you get destroyed too much especially trying the type of tricks he does.. nollie front crook hollywood 12? If you weren't extremely good you'd get fucking assassinated on that.

I thought forrest might have had something for that bank to ledge spot, but his ender made up for it. it's kinda easy to see him not winning even though he's busting the best shit down stuff.

I'm sure the parameters of the contest have something to do with well-roundednes. Whiteley? What exactly are the parameters?

Anyways who gives a fuck who wins, they all win from all this exposure.

It upsets me that everyone, including Whiteley, consistently makes too much of this kid. He's not some evil genius, skateboard antihero mastermind, and he's not some tortured skateboard genius. He's just really, really stupid. I'd wager a guess that most everyone in his immediate family and neighborhood is pretty unintelligent as well. Stupid people tend to make themselves look stupid, especially when placed in front of a camera, as he has done repeatedly.
In this case, the stupid is coupled, unfortunately, with being really, really good at skateboarding. Skateboarders tend to make him something he isn't because we'd all of course like to think that one cannot become amazing at skateboarding if he is also an idiot, which, also unfortunately, is false. Everyone knows what happens when you put really talented and really stupid together. You either get a complete knobhead asshole, or a reflexively politee goof. So basically, you either get Forrest Edwards or Forest Gump.

Forrest may be not be the most well-rounded skateboarder but he is fucking good at what he skates, I see nothing wrong with that. I mean, almost everyone is an ATV ripper now, but it's like saying Peter Hewitt isn't that good of a skater be he only skates transition

we getting a new one today?

the plan was yes, but there was some problem with the file export which may delay it until tomorrow. the guy with all the drives is on a plane from the east coast (where the editing is happening) to the west coast right now, so we can't access the episodes. if we can get it fixed without having to re-export ,it will go up today, if not it'll be tomorrow morning. nothing coming for friday as it's christmas eve, then a new one coming monday-- it's a long one and will be the only one going up for next week.

I'm sure the parameters of the contest have something to do with well-roundednes. Whiteley? What exactly are the parameters?

there were no binding legal parameters drawn up for selection, but tricks, style, attitude and overall approach are all components, in varying degrees of importance and priority. how's that for vague?

I'd wager a guess that most everyone in his immediate family and neighborhood is pretty unintelligent as well.

everybody in his family and town are unintelligent? that's a pretty bold guesstimation to make.

Why? Intelligence is influenced tremendously by heredity and the environment where a kid grows up. Dumbasses don't just pop out of no where. People reflect their environments. Besides, I said most, immediate, and neighborhood, don't change the wording to make it sound more outlandish, it really isn't.

It's actually giving Forrest a pretty big benefit of the doubt to assume there is a reason for his stupidity. His environment was probably a pretty big influence on him, which actually makes me feel for him a little tiny bit more instead of just hating him. And it's just fucking regular to say that there are any implications having anything to do with race about that. Of course I knew people would think that, but it's not even worth addressing. Also, you yourself are probably making the assumption that I'm white, which I'm not.

There are definitely exception to the rules on both sides. I grew up in the burbs and one of my friends that had the nicest parents and a pretty decent childhood upbringing ended up being a drug dealer and has been in jail for the last 8 years or so. And I know people that grew up in bad parts in the Bay Area (Richmond) and they went off to a 4 year college and are making a decent living to this day. Surroundings only plays a part in certain people's upbringing but there are so much more to it like parenting, money, friends, schooling, etc. I am sure there is a reason why Forrest is the way he is but it's a touchy subject to assume when you don't know.

forrest is not stupid, or at least i would not classify him as such. he may have a different set of social norms than many other people, but that doesn't necessarily reflect his intelligence. and as to whether you are white or not, that makes no difference-- you have to be white to be racist?

COTG, how about his speech and mannerisms? I'd say those are some pretty good indicators. Forrest regularly does and says really stupid ass shit. And you know what they say, if it quacks like a duck, it's a duck. I know his personality and intelligence as well as is possible from watching a few interview webclips, and he seems like a dumbass. I'd be happy to go find some examples, but it probably wouldn't matter, I'm pretty familiar with your posts.

This is what's wrong with you clowns. Just because someone doesn't speak proper english doesn't make them stupid. You have to looks at the concepts and ideas that are conveyed in what they say. You're the type of clown that can't see the forrest for the trees. From what I've seen he's way smarter than most of the dudes on there. He realizes that saying thank you all the time doesn't make you nice, and he was the only one that realized that the bar rueben kickflipped over was actually really low.

Boiltheocean posted this earlier today.

**I have yet to watch a single episode of this because I just haven't had the time.  I'm now curious since BTO posted about.

Is Forrest Edwards The Reality-TV Villain We?ve Been Waiting For?

(http://boiltheocean.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/forrest.jpg?w=450&h=251)

Pity the eventual winner of Slap Magazine?s ?One In A Million? contest, for this lucky young man will forever be doomed to push in the long, unsmiling shadow cast by Forrest Edwards, the switchstancer from Riverside who almost immediately cemented a position as the breakout character from what has become a sort of ?America?s Next Top Flow Kid.? Aged 18 or 19 years and already a master of the lefthanded compliment, Forrest Edwards is estimated by scholars to have come of age right around January 8, 2004, when a younger and more tender U.S. populace met and introduced itself to a onetime political consultant named Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, villainess of Donald Trump?s initial run of ?The Apprentice.? A lesson told in nine weeks: negative attitude, abrasive behavior and ?not here to make friends? mindset buys notoriety that is worth its weight in American Idol text-messages.

Mango, the free-spirited ditch skater with the bad haircut, does not make Forrest Edwards laugh. Switch backside heelflipping a solid set of stairs does not crack his lips into a smile. Cigarette dangling dangerously from his mouth, Forrest Edwards broods and bides his time on those occasions when a handrail, double-set or ledge is not within reach. He?s not sorry that he broke Daryl Angel?s deck and transition is for old people and those intent on wasting an opportunity to carve out a piece of the lucrative sponsorship pie. He knows the names of the forgotten reality TV gods like Puck and Richard Hatch who long ago painted on television?s cave-walls the arcane lore, if you are not on-screen, you at least ought to be spoken of, and damn the consequences.

The web-evolution of the ?One In A Million? contest has birthed a camera-ready series that, with a bit more coverage of after-hours chill/party sessions, could stand alongside all your ?America?s Next Top Models? or ?Real World Road Rules Challenges? in terms of painfully earnest moments of self-realization, product placement and shoehorned-in celeb cameos. In Forrest Edwards they have an Omarosa figure in spades, as he explains how he makes it all look so easy while making a run at being skating?s most divisive figure of 2010 ? a tall order against the likes of Jereme Rogers, Brian Wenning, Antwuan Dixon and Shane O?Neill.

But do our times call for a Forrest Edwards? Following a decade marked by the rise of the Tilt Mode, Daewon Song?s goofy genius, assorted Jackassery and the Odd Couple stylings of Rob and Big, might Forrest Edwards? unshakeable discontent be an antidote for too much fun? Dead-eyed and silent, Forrest Edwards seems to look upon a skateboard as a tool useful for proving his worth Mark Whiteley, his OIAM rivals and the world in general, comfortable with the sexual orientation of his go-to tricks and equally at ease when doling out quotables or bigspin-flipping stairs. Our nation?s economic house of credit cards in shambles and the prospect of a long economic slog ahead, Forrest Edwards? single-minded fixation upon the prize serves to remind us that none of this is a game, that he is not playing around, even when brazenly choosing not to skate at any given time and instead offer advice on personal conduct or a balanced diet.

COTG, I'm not gonna debate you any more. I've made my point and it stands. I've seen how you post, you're the best troll I've ever seen and I know I won't win against you no matter how dumb the underlying points of your arguments are (Forrest expressing greater ideas through his misunderstanding of the meaning of English words and by hating on other people's skating). And your arguments ARE wrong, but I know I'd never win against you so it's not really worth it. You have trolling down to a science.

Whiteley, I'm sure you know him better than I do. But what I've seen of him is the OIAM episodes, and he comes off as a stupid, arrogant, ignorant child. You can't honestly feel that you wouldn't have the same impression after watching those episodes and seeing nothing else of Forrest so don't give me that shit. Also, no, I'm not implying that you have to be white to be racist. I just know that kid was assuming I'm some white suburban kid who knows nothing about growing up in a bad neighborhood.

Also, sorry I'm super slow to reply, my connection is insanely faulty and slow.

Fair enough. But I honestly don't see it as too presumptuous to assume his environment is reflected in him. I think that's pretty much a given. I feel like the issue is really me not saying it in nice enough terms. But I don't really care much for being nice to that kind of people. People like him give the rest of us a bad name.

Tommy and Tim were irrelevant, that time could've been spent showing skating or the actual contestants.  I feel like there's probably so much entertaining interview and skate footy that won't see the light of day.

no.
you've obviously not traveled or taken any psychology at all...ever. peoples' environment is what shapes them, true, but the way that it's effects surface could be direct opposites and often are. go anywhere on earth and you'll see the same cross section of personalities as anywhere else. fact. plus, it's almost a cliche nowadays for the rich kids to act/dress broke and the broke kids being the flashiest. i mean antwuan and theotis are from the same background, so c'mon son. get outta here with that, "it's a given" shit. you know nothing about human development.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now that that's said, Forrest killed it again. on and off the mic this time. i like how he actually rattled off every dope trick that went down before saying that joe gets the mvp for the photo. at least he's paying attention when he's not skating. that shit counts. the rest of them kinda voted on the buddy system. and did you see the little smile he let out at the end? i think that dude is probably just playing up his personality for the contest. i like him more now than ever. actually, the only thing that he's done so far that made me really be like, "that was fucked up" was the not thanking two dudes for loaning you a board after you broke them shits. that was hella weak, but all the shit talking and other verbal stuff, i think, is just funny as fuck. i get the impression he probably does too.

the part with mango's interview got me kinda stoked to see him step up. from what brook said, it sounds like he was actually ripping all day and got a lot of stuff, but wouldn't skate for the camera. i was under the impression that he just didn't get anything and that's why the footy was missing, this makes me interested in him again.

Hahaha Forrest is consistently one upping himself verbally, it's classic. There are gonna be insane video gabs and gifs of him biting into that piece of chicken and I think that will easily hold people off for the next episode.

here you go

Mango is clearly the dumbest of all of them, but he's charming in that way. Forrest isn't a dummy in the traditional sense, though it seems like he might have aspergers or something with his horrible ability to deal with people around him.

I kind of like Forrest more after that episode. Is it odd that I have never seen nor thought of opening a wine bottle with a power drill? Its a pretty badass move, and clearly proof that the kid is resourceful at least. Also, his end of the day discussion was him mostly talking dudes up, talking about a lot of shit other people did and all that.

everybody in his family and town are unintelligent? that's a pretty bold guesstimation to make.

Why? Intelligence is influenced tremendously by heredity and the environment where a kid grows up. Dumbasses don't just pop out of no where. People reflect their environments. Besides, I said most, immediate, and neighborhood, don't change the wording to make it sound more outlandish, it really isn't.

No, there are no innate qualities that make people stupid. You believing that however, does make you stupid.

Not that I want to side with that asshole at all, since I don't think Forrest actually is unintelligent, but what about downs syndrome or other forms of developmental disability? There definitely is innate intelligence, that is, the ability to learn quickly or not, though with extra work almost anybody can become very smart and well-read.

Of course those are biological factors. But they are biolological abnormalities and not actually from your heritage. When I hear people talk about heredity and intellegence there are usually linking it to race, which is bullshit. Even if they aren't talking about race it's still incorrect, you can't have "stupid gene" passed down to you.

I agree and completely disagree with everything he is saying. Mango is dumb as a goddamn box of rocks, but nobody is questioning his family or neighborhood saying shit like "he doesn't want to get filmed because he is lazy, and obviously comes from a family and neighborhood filled with people who can't take life seriously." Or "You can tell he is always goofing around because of something innate inside of him"
I just want to kind of stay on the sidelines a bit for my reputation of being the "Al Franken of the message board"

Pretty much. Its an odd stereotype, like watermelon. Who doesn't like that shit? I hear black people are always breathing air and drinking water too.
The chicken one comes from the fact that African Americans invented American style fried chicken, and were the only ones who would eat it for a while. During this point, the black people and friend chicken stereotype was created. Then everybody else realized why black people ate it, and started eating it themselves, still, the stereotype stuck.

he's a fat jock that doesn't know what passive aggressive means, i couldn't care less what he said to mango, he seems like a dick too.
Joe is seriously one of the nicest people ever. He's just trying to get these cats to skate more in front of a lens, can't really blame him for that.

What's disgusting about this, is this is the first time they've taken more than 5 people. The reason they took the extra two was to make sure that all the people that the slap forums would be hyped on got in. They should've just taken everybody if you're going to take most of them. jericho and rudy would've gotten way more shit than mango, nick and matty combined.

You can open a beer can with your fingers, a wine bottle requires some sort of corkscrew. Forrest was using ingenuity, it was a whole different thing than Louie's beer bro maneuver. You'll understand once you can drink.
Nothing tight though. I don't even think they would've went to a lot of those spots if those dudes were there. It would be straight savagery.

So you aren't a troll and really do act like this? HAHAHA. You are a stupid and pathetic loser. Life must be hard for an angry moron like you.
 The dude who is asking for suggestions on how to do pivot fakies on a tiny mini ramp in another thread is going to talk shit on an ollie over a hip to nosegrind pop in on tight transition? HAHAHA. You can't skate tranny for shit, and this dude is ripping it, as well as every other spot they have been to. Forrest may have gotten some bangers, but in terms of number of spots he has skated, he is on the low end.
Also, they go to those spots because that's the type of shit people who aren't so cal losers like you and Forrest skate. It sounds like you are saying if the other people who weren't good enough to get in got in, they would go to easier spots for them to rack up tricks easily. This isn't that kind of contest. This contest requires genuine talent and ability to skate whatever they put in front of these kids.

Basically, keep working on pivot fakies and next time don't talk so much shit on people who can skate shit you can't better than you ever will.

dont get it twisted, i think all these guys are good skaters but this isn't some personality contest, i dont give a fuck what anyone says, the skating should speak for itself

Not sure yet. Was thinking of a warm up session at stoner, then hitting up the spots at UCLA. Maybe after dark I'll hit up the 9 star ramp. I got a membership during the rain. Did you? I didn't see anybody who looked like you there. That tranny contest is not looking good for you man. How you doing getting footage for it? Or are you already coming up with excuses for why you failed?

Oh shit, just remembered USC and all of its spots. I drive past there almost every day for work, been meaning to hit that up. Either way, this sun is a blessing, and I'm gonna take it in. I'll let you know where I went tonight, I usually change my mind throughout the day.

It should also be front page Slap and automatically put in Classic. Gipper's definitely fun to skate with and bullshit with in real life, I'd bet money they'd both get along fine. Even if CotG is as contrarian in person as he is in text, you know that would just make it that much more fun of a session. Especially to watch, on video, as mandated by said law.

damn i never followed oiam until this year, but i was watching last years episodes and david really killed it, chuy and dylan did too. i really didn't care for any of the tricks i saw tom doing other than that gap to 5050 that he didn't land. not sure how he won.

he got clips each episode, maybe not as many clips as tom but definitely more memorable. i didn't see chuy getting hurt, maybe you're thinking of dylan who bruised his heel. but he kept getting good shit too. nick is really the only one who i'd say wasn't really productive.

he did two switch 50s, one on a popular big handrail in oakland, and one on a fucking lumpy bridge rail that had a gate at the bottom of the stairs. the line at clipper was ollie the first set then fs flip the second one. he also got a good line at 3rd and army and a nollie heel over the rock gap there.

i remember a lot of tricks tom did, he did that tailslide to land on that block, 50'd that rail, front board to fakie the rail with the drop, impossible the street gap. none of them really stood out though.

you missed-
attitude: John- dealt with the whole hill bombing issue like a champ, still ripping with staples in his head. No bitching, no why me bullshit, no getting down on himself, just a quick trip to the doctor, getting hyped that his skull wasn't fractured, and back to skate huge shit the next day.
approach: Forrest- say what you want about his personality, the dude charges like a barbarian when he skates. If his attack on the double set doesn't win him points in the overall approach category, I don't really understand the category.

I think a lot of you are complete morons for thinking Mango's "soul skater" comment seriously. Next you'll be saying how annoying his obsession with Laverne and Shirley is.

disagree with the mango part, hes a reminder that skating is all about having fun thats why i started in the first place (if thats what you meant about that comment)... but i agree with the rest. john deffently has a good attitude. forrest is in it to win it and its a compettion, if thats what whiteley meant by overall approach, that could mean try to skate every kind of spot or how much he actually liked the person or some shit.

whiteley, i'm pretty sure no one bs flipped over the rail into the bank at that school in the emerica video, the only tricks i can think of at that school off the top of my head is a 180 fakie 5-0 on the rail forrest switch 50'd, and a switch fs flip over the handrail but it was a different one because he did it to flat.

thank you, that's what it was. mixed up my videos and slept on daryl- sorry!

mango does get some real tricks in and i personally liked having him around no matter if he was skating to win the contest or not-- which he obviously wasn't-- because he brought smiles and laughs to everybody aside from forrest, and represented the idea that you "win" in the grand scheme of things by having fun and skating how you want. yes, i understand it is a contest and he didn't treat it like a contest, but part of me likes that. anyhow, here's a spoiler: mango does not win OIAM 2010!
and as for whether or not he's gay-- yes, he is gay. as in merry and happy. as for whether he's homosexual, i don't have the answer to that. but what if he was? would you like him more or less because of it? i have gay friends, and i don't think their sexual preference makes me like them any more or less than my straight friends. i know comments like "he's gay" will never disappear from this forum or society in general and that's fine, i'm not asking for that, but where does all the speculation really lead you? do you even want an answer? and suppose you were right and he was gay and came out- what would you say? "see, i told you he was gay"? if that's it, good for you, your gaydar functions well. maybe you can go out and look for more gay men in your spare time.

and to nestor's switch flip over the rail at quimby-- still probably the hardest trick to go down on the spot.

yeah it's crazy too because that was the first time i can remember seeing footage at that spot, so i assumed that considering he did a switch flip over it, it must be pretty easy to skate. this episode made me see how that nestor is just amazing and the spot is hard to skate.

I assumed attitude was the one that was code for "how cool were you."
I'm not saying Mango doesn't have a fun loving attitude, I'm just saying his soul skater comment was tongue in cheek. The way he was saying it was a joke as if he doesn't film at all, and obviously he does. I honestly think that in many ways he seems kind of out matched and intimidated by the competition.  I agree with somebody earlier when they were saying he looks kind of overwhelmed by the whole situation. Brook wasn't saying "you need to skate more," he was saying "you need to film more." I think he's definitely having a good time and doing some cool stuff, I just think that he is having trouble figuring out how to play the game.

I think the internet's perception of gay has nothing to do with actual homosexuality. Like if someone responded "Yes, I am a gay" it would be like "Oh... ok, but you're still GAY".

Even if you don't mean it that way, associating the word gay with negative connotations is definitively homophobic. Also, pretty sure people mean it that way.

Dude, There is no part of Arizona that is a quick couple hour drive from SF. Its 6 hours to LA from AZ, and LA is far closer both in terms of lattitude and longitude. I'm guessing AZ to SF is a 10-12 hour trip minimum. Oh, and the fact that his entire week was paid for, he got a whole package of skate shit, and it included a free tour of a ton of spots probably made it pretty nice even to lose.
I love how Mango and Forrest are such polar opposites.

As ol' Gippy said, AZ to SF isn't a "quick" drive at all.  I never said he wasn't good either, I actually like the way he skates. However, do I see him beating out John, Reuben, Matty or Gonzalo? Absolutely not.

Rad episode. Mango's line at 3rd and army was really cool and I still can't decide who I like better, Matty or John. And everyone who's talking about how we don't know if Forrest skates for fun or if he didn't enter the contest by himself can fuck off after hearing what he said.

Man, I was really hoping John made that overcrook to fakie into the bank. And Devine seems like he vibed and fit right in with all the dudes pretty well, definitely made me more psyched on him, and it seems like everyone (minus Forrest) is getting along and starting to become pretty good friends which is rad.

I know the contest is about skating and Forrest definitely has skills, but every time he opens his damn mouth diarrhea just explodes out. Hey Forrest, if you do succeed with your "dream" do yourself a favor and let your skating do the talking. Your mouth is obviously not as advanced.

i got that weird hair-standing-on-end feeling when he started falling off the bank. can you imagine hitting your head with staples still in it? was really glad he got out of that.

and yeah, mango did great that day, it was his most productive.

companies pay you on top of giving you product, and after how stoked forrest was for the $120 in the first episode, i doubt he will be really considering selling all his boards. not to mention, i dont think forrest can afford to get rid of the boards he gets with how many he breaks on gaps

mango's finally killing it. the only thing he did that was cool this whole time in my eyes until this episode was that line at the bank to ledge. 5050 nosemanny was deffinatly the highlight, i really liked gonzo's crook too. i can understand why people don't dig forrest's attitude but, atleast he has a goal. i know plenty of dude's that pretty much live off of selling free product they get, like forrest said, it's a struggle. can't wait to see the 063 pilf 0505. good shit!

still stoked on forrest. dudes a classic in the making. for reals.

mango finally got something and it was all sick. the feeble line and the 50-50 nose manny were both tight as fuck.

matty's first line got rewound like 5 times before i even saw the rest of the episode. that switch tre was SO good. and the back smith on that table? stoops. i think matty should take it. he's just nice, consistent, skilled and skates everything fluid. the opening bluntslide was so well executed and relaxed. i'm going to watch matty's line again right now actually.

come to think of it, i figured forrest would've killed that spot. weird. did he skate it and just have an unproductive day, or was he over the spot entirely again? whiteley?

forrest at 3rd and army-- he only tried that one line, and he tried it for a really long time.
matty at 3rd and army-- yeah, super sick switch 360 flip. one of the most stylish tricks of the week, in my opinion. everybody gave him the style award consistently. as for the back smith, yeah, super sick as well, but just as a shout-out-- in last year's OIAM nick paolucci back smith'd the table there as well! nick, however, may have been a full foot taller.
gonzo's crook pop-over: when he did something, he did it well, without a doubt. he was really cool and very low-key the whole time, but i think everybody liked him and liked what he tried and did.

as a teaser for clipper: two flip-in tricks, back to back.

i was thinking that i'd seen the back smith in the same contest somewhere! i remember that. Nick's hit me the same way then too. nice one. and i forgot forrest's line at 3rd completely. it was dope though. the flip to back tail was clean, but somehow i'd expected him to blast that spot wide open. guess not, dag. i seriously think matty should take it, but from the rumored shit that's coming in the next ep, i'll hold back on that judgement. the pace of the videos is getting better as well. took a few eps, but it's much better now.

i think its funny how he thinks all these 'street pros' are getting that kind of coin when theres only a handful of dudes that make that kind of money.  they certainly don't make it from skateboarding rather other non-skate endorsements/sponsors.

i think he should stay in school and learn and a thing or 2, instead of suffering with diarrhea of the mouth for the rest of his life.

That stood out in a big way.  It was so stylish.  Not the techest tricks, but done so quick and clean, I liked it.
Forrest doing two flip to slide tricks in a line is not to be taken lightly.  Sick stuff.
Matty: best style in the bunch.
I really liked this episode.  I liked the Third and Army edit, just seeing all the lines was nice.

I think Reuben is going to take it.  He is constantly killing it and he seems the most memorable to me besides Forrest.  What the other guys are doing is all blending together in my mind from episode to episode.  I really like Matty's style though.  It would be cool to see him at another transition spot.

as far as the question of his intelligence, theres 47 pages proving his idiocy/stupidity not to mention the fact he said, hes doesn't work or go to school.  i'll bet you any sum of money that he probably can't read or write very well and i highly doubt he could do basic math.

does anybody actually buy that Forrest is able to make ends meet by just entering contests here and there?
He said he doesn't go to school, he doesn't work, he just enters contests, wins boards, and then sells them.
if he has to travel all over the place to get to these contests, how the hell would that method of self employment even cover his travel costs?
never mind if he breaks a board (or two that don't belong to him) and has to keep what would have been a meal on his table that night.

He's either a liar and has a job, or mommy and daddy forrest are picking up the check.

hes not talking about OIAM, hes talking about all the other contests that he said he enters....before OIAM.
he doesn't work, he hustles the product he wins at contests, then somehow has enough money to travel to these venues, eat and pay his bills and buy boards and all the other shit that he needs. 

sounds more like its a struggle for his parents who are paying for all his shit.

as for more tranny spots/parks, yes.

i'm sure the other guys in the contest are being supported by their parents as well.  it just that no one else but forrest is talking about it being a struggle and whatnot when he doesn't even know what the word means.  he'll figure out what a 'struggle' life truly is when he moves out on his own and has to fend for himself.

Honestly I hope Reuben doesn't win. He'll be fine with or without this contest. The contest helps vault someone into the spotlight that might otherwise not be sponsored. I look at dudes like Tom K. and Crapp, and they rip, but I'm not sure anybody would take a ton of notice without the contest to promote them. Other dudes, like when Asta was in the running but didn't win, you'd see their footage and know they'd be just fine.

Either way, I'm hoping for Forest or John. Forest has his little character moments and he fucking rips. John, definitely rips but I don't think people would ever hear about him if it weren't for this contest.

so mango's just cool with the rasa guys then? i thought he was flow or something. not trying to call him out, just confused. didn't he have a couple tricks in the last rasa web thing? maybe not. i'm probably way off base here.

switch 360 flip and switch backside heelflip all stock tricks, especially down sizeable gaps. damn nigga, you must shred.
clearly forest is the bigger skate rat of the bunch (maybe asides from ruben due to age), i mean the dude skates for a living, no school, no work.

matty's style has definately grew on me-i'd like to see either him or forrest win.

You must've missed the switch tre down the double set and the bigspin flip down the double. I'd hardly call that "stock flip tricks". You can pull the snob card and say your standards are too high...but to anybody with half a brain it just looks like you're desperately reaching for reasons to dislike him.

for at least prior to the contest:
matty got some boards from deluxe through the shop, he does not ride for them. confirmed by deluxe. he also gets boards from duffel because they are friends, but he does not ride for them, either. matty had been coming up on his own before the contest, i'm sure it will only help him be more known.
mango and rasa- he is friendly with the team but is not part of it. confirmed by matt field.
as for after the contest, who knows...

do people here not know the difference between flow and rep flow? because there is a huge difference. it seems like what matty referred to was rep flow, and I'm sure that's what the converse thing is too.

rep flow is when a skate shop's regional representative of a company(could be hard goods but usually shoes and clothes) flows product to one of the shops team riders shoes to try to help generate sales of that brand locally and/or just to build a better relationship with the shop and be cool. the company itself most of the time has no idea who that person even is.

flow is when you're getting a product directly from the the company or the team manager but you're not fully on the team obviously.

saying jons winning cause he got staples and is still jumping down shit is like saying gonzo is winning because he got all of his tricks while he was super drunk...jon has not got shit he better get something extremely gnarly in the next episodes to push out matty out of the top 3 cause i see no reason he would not be placed in last at this point the dude has just done a bunch of ollies and bombed a hill that ended in a wall thats just stupidity not courageous

skating with stitches in your head isn't that gnarly. The odds of a skateboarder hitting his head is so low, that it doesn't matter. If he had some stiches in his shin or something, and was doing flip tricks, or a broken wrist and jumping down shit that would be gnarly.

I'm not trying to argue either way but unless you've had stitches in your head you can't debate which is gnarlier.I've had both and I couldn't skate with that soon after either, especially not the day it happened.They shove a needle in there and scrub it which later in the day hurts like hell.

Jon is definitely winning, dude got staples in his head and is still jumping down shit and getting tricks at most of the spots they go to it seems. I think Matty has been getting the most diverse and memorable coverage of the bunch.

saying jons winning cause he got staples and is still jumping down shit is like saying gonzo is winning because he got all of his tricks while he was super drunk...jon has not got shit he better get something extremely gnarly in the next episodes to push out matty out of the top 3 cause i see no reason he would not be placed in last at this point the dude has just done a bunch of ollies and bombed a hill that ended in a wall thats just stupidity not courageous

Was he super drunk? How you know that?

so far jon is my choice.

it was really cool to see more mango footage though.
saw some of his footage a few years ago and his part really impressed me/made me laugh.
cool that he is stepping outside of his "comfort zone".

I know it sucks but face the facts guys Rueben won, case closed. It kinda sucks cuz the dude seems annoying as shit and his style is whatever. I always go for the best style so out of the top 3 Jon should win but to be perfectly honest I'm not that psyched on any of these guys though unfortunately.

fs flip at 1:30 is incredible.   i  like busenitz-esque style skating but i am pretty big sucker for 'big hammers' if you will.   i really like matty because he combines the two.  not too 'organic' in the sense of only doing is 'natural' shitty 5050s and wallies etc. but having a really good, super fast loose style combined with difficult tricks.    basically the wes kremer program

Woah that was gnarly. I guessed right on the tricks. I really surprised how well they both did the tricks, clipper is super rounded and locking into grinds well seems tricky. It was crazy seeing Ruenben land that kickflip front 5-0 so perfect. I can't say I'm a big fan of him but if he doesn't win Jon must have some really good stuff in the episodes to come.

I'm trying to decide which is sicker, the kickflip frontside 5-0 or the 360 flip 50....

I think technically the kickflip frontside 5-0 would be harder, but theres just so much that can go wrong with the 360 flip 50 that it's more gnarly. I just imagine, espicically on a giant, waxed hubba, landed on top in riding position instead of grinding, and slipping out/falling backwards and hitting your head AND DYING!!!!

I can't do either of them, so I really have no idea.


I'll give the edge to Forest and the 350 flip 50. Reuben's trick was done really well though, it looked great.

On a short hubba like that that, kickflip 5-0 is kind of easier, because you don't have to do anything to get off. On that 5-0 clip that i have, I tried back 5050 like 20 times, but i couldn't do it. The back5-0 was first try.

Let's break it down play by play.  Kickflip fs 5-0 vs. 360flip 50-50.  Kickflip fs 5-0s take a certain amount of skill and board control for a skateboard player to master as a kickflip naturally floats off the other way, but once tackled on the practice field, execution becomes much easier.  I know this because I've done a few back when I was in the league, but one maneuver that I have never done was a 360flip to 50-50 grind.  That one is kind of hail mary last ditch effort gambit.  Although I think we've all seen kids that have only been skating for a year throwing these out on the skatepark training facility mini ledges, it still commands respect.  In the right hands (feet), a 360flip 50-50 is far from a toss-up.  With its high probability of failure, but incredibly flashy appearance, this "trick" is a real game changer.  These people are skilled athletes and I don't recommend trying either one of these dangerous actions on a double black diamond course like this.

I thought it was kind of cool how Reuben said he really doesn't do tricks on rails or hubbas that often, but he still just went for it...and did a kickflip 5-0 on the fucking clipper hubba.

What do you mean "don't have to do anything to get off"? As in, on a 50 you have to lift up the nose a bit? I mean, if you're going off the end of something instead of coming out of the middle, if you're going fast enough I have/seen dudes have their back foot on the inside of the back truck bolts and not have to lift up to get out of a 50.

I think that 360 flip to 50s are ugly anyway, so that makes me like the k/f fs 5-0 better even though it is easier.

you guys think kickflip 5-0 would be easier? I really don't even know about that.

Yea the difficulty of tricks change depending on what you're doing them on. of course tre flip 5050 is easier on a regular ledge, but going down something is kind of different. if the hubba was longer it would be different, too.

I get that a lot of people dislike Forest but it doesn't mean he doesn't rip. So many comments on this page are only about how crazy the kickflip 5-0 was. No doubt it was incredible but come on, 3 flip 50-50 is way gnarlier. don't act like it isn't.

Also any hate being sent the way of the judges is bullshit. I thought you left a while back geoff. You really should just fuck off, you're so stupid it's a sin to everyone everywhere.

I've been nothing but psyched on all the episodes so far. for all the people crying about it being edited a certain way, get over it. its all in the fun nature of skateboarding. forrests comments, the way Joe brook laughs at Forrest, mango trying to be funny the whole time. I love all of it. it makes it that much more enjoyable cause i get hella laughs and great skate content. i would fully enjoy seeing footage and coverage of all these dudes in the future. forrests tre flip 50 was craze. and even tho his style isnt my favorite, rueben has blown my mind with the quimby double set ollie and that kicky 5-0 on clipper.

Hey, if you really are a "child" of a "ghetto," than you know--for a fact--that if Forrest was really a "regular ass nigga" he would not be skating in the first place. You've made this kind of comment a number of times, and I have an old friend who got shot by "regular ass niggas," for being black and liking things like skateboarding.

Even in this day and age, if you are black and you skateboard, and actually live in a black community, than you are anything but a "regular ass nigga," even if there is a skatepark nearby. There might be more tolerance than there was, but a black skateboarder in the "ghetto," is by no means a "regular ass nigga."

Yes both gnarly.  BUT.....

If you look at the sequence of the 3 flip 50-50, Forests back truck wasn't even locked onto the edge, his wheels were just riding on the top of the ledge, and the next pic after that shows the same, but in the next one where he's going off the ledge his back truck is grinding (but his front one is in the air)

Now because of this his 50-50 cannot be called clean, thus Reubens kickflip 5-0 was cleaner and therefore gnalier. I'm not dicounting the difficulty of 3 fliping on to a ledge, much less a hubba, but Forests actual 50-50 was clearly not very clean.

I'm sure some of the Forest dick riders will reply with angery comments but they can suck it. Forest is good at what he does, it just gets old seeing someone jump off stuff and twirl there board around. Yeah it's hard to do that, but it's not that entertaining after the 10th time.

I figured you would just give me your typical sophomoric "you're an idiot," and that would be it. Wow, I got a whole fucking sentence out of you--you and I know I struck a cord.

If Forrest actually lives in or around a "ghetto," than he is always in the uncomfortable, not-fitting-in-with-anyone position that we see in these episodes, because "regular ass niggas" don't skate. Despite things changing, all my black friends who I grew up with skating with in Detroit, have all to this day dealt with that "that is white people" shit, and although there is some tolerance, that shit is still pervasive. My friends are just on point, and don't give a fuck, and Forrest obviously does, and dude can barely function around people, know matter who they are, and how cool they are trying to be with him.

My whole point was to highlight how absurd your "regular nigga" comment is. So, based on the model of Forrest, all "regular niggas" are perpetually alienated from everyone around them if everyone around them are having fun and supporting each other, they are blatantly and undeniably uncomfortable in their own skin, they can't take a compliment, and when they dedicate themselves to something in life to the point that they get as good as Forrest is, they only do it for these elusive "millions," and not because they enjoy it. Is that right?

Forrest is sick--undoubtedly--at but one facet, of the many facets that make skateboarding what it is. For all your shit talking, someone like Grant Taylor would make you look pitiful on ledges, flat ground, rails, etc., and then go do a sick back-tail on vert without pads afterwards.

And...racist? Are you serious? I'm listening to Fela as I write this...do you even know who that is, you fatuous child?

back to the question of what is harder/better

doing a perfectly straight kickflip is actually kind of hard(especially frontside) and when you don't, it looks really bad.
a 360 flip is a trick you can land sloppy, force a roll away, and the style doesn't suffer too much. �
the kickflip front 5-0 was smooth and stylish.  the 3flip 50 was forced and stiff, hence why reubens trick was better.    
to me, an "easier" trick done well looks better than a more "difficult" trick that looks ugly.

Perfect analogy to answer this question: Skating switch is more difficult than skating regular, but almost always looks worse than regular. That is why it is a hilarious insult to ask someone if "that was switch," when it wasn't.

For difficulty, the 360 flip 50-50 I would say wins--by a nose--but for smoothness the kickflip 5-0 wins easily. That kickflip 5-0 caught me off guard it looked so smooth.

And what happens to this equation if Forrest is one of those freaks who can do tres all day, but can't do a regular kickflip?

In the end, both of them landed with the sound of all four wheels landing at once, which makes a trick sound so fucking solid and sick, that it is almost impossible to truly say which is better...

So, based on the model of Forrest, all "regular niggas" are perpetually alienated from everyone around them if everyone around them are having fun and supporting each other, they are blatantly and undeniably uncomfortable in their own skin, they can't take a compliment, and when they dedicate themselves to something in life to the point that they get as good as Forrest is, they only do it for these elusive "millions," and not because they enjoy it. Is that right?

Forrest is sick--undoubtedly--at but one facet, of the many facets that make skateboarding what it is. For all your shit talking, someone like Grant Taylor would make you look pitiful on ledges, flat ground, rails, etc., and then go do a sick back-tail on vert without pads afterwards.

And...racist? Are you serious? I'm listening to Fela as I write this...do you even know who that is, you fatuous child?
Detroit vs. southern california... hmm... maybe people act different based upon region... maybe even... black people!  :o :o :o



With the 360 flip 5050 vs. kickflip 5-0 issue- I already heard about the 360 flip 5050, hadn't heard about the kickflip 5-0. Might be more impressed with it for that reason, but I'm also a big fan of those flip to grind/slides where the board flips the opposite direction of the ledge like that. Still, both dudes earned their dinner that night.
And cotg, are you seriously comparing that rail in your clip to the clipper ledge? Its not a particularly tall ledge, but it is down 12 stairs, and a decent sized set of 12 at that. The rail you skated was what, 6 stairs? gtfo.

John's shit in Santa Cruz looks really fucking sick. Considering santa cruz has about 3 spots, I've been to all of the ones they showed there, and it looks like he was ripping. Did he ollie that gap into the steep bank? That would be insane.

Apples - kickflip 5-0 clipper ledge, Ruben does it frontside(Harder)
Apples' ender in Xtremely Sorry - 360 flip 50 smaller hubba, Forrest does it down clipper(Harder)

Appleyard is still smoother than these two though. Winner by steezy decision - Appleyard

Yes both gnarly.  BUT.....

If you look at the sequence of the 3 flip 50-50, Forests back truck wasn't even locked onto the edge, his wheels were just riding on the top of the ledge, and the next pic after that shows the same, but in the next one where he's going off the ledge his back truck is grinding (but his front one is in the air)

Can't believe I'm getting sucked back into this vortex, but have to comment to COTG.

Hey, if you really are a "child" of a "ghetto," than you know--for a fact--that if Forrest was really a "regular ass nigga" he would not be skating in the first place. You've made this kind of comment a number of times, and I have an old friend who got shot by "regular ass niggas," for being black and liking things like skateboarding.

Even in this day and age, if you are black and you skateboard, and actually live in a black community, than you are anything but a "regular ass nigga," even if there is a skatepark nearby. There might be more tolerance than there was, but a black skateboarder in the "ghetto," is by no means a "regular ass nigga."

bitch its not even over, you can't fully judge anyone yet. and even if it was over i'd say he shouldn't win strictly based on how much of a dummy he is, I mean he'd win "best skater" but not the contest and all the benefits.

Do you know how ridiculous you are? The end of my Fela comment was, "do you even know who that is you fatuous child?" Because in my experience most black folks don't, and he is as important of a revolutionary figure as any, and I knew COTG for all the trite and utterly predictable racial bullshit he spews, which he learned from watching TV and listening to music--instead of genuinely studying one's history--probably had no idea who he was...

...or Kwame Nkrumah, or Randall Kennedy, or James Baldwin, or Ossian Sweet, etc. ad infinitum.

Now, if you mean, am I "politically correct"--fuck no, no I'm not, because that guilty white liberal political correctness arrests honest discussion of things that need to be discussed.

And if your sensibilities were ruffled by my initial comment, I think you need to get out of the fucking house once in a while. I grew up with the few--to this day--truly born and raised in Detroit black skaters, and have had to watch them deal with all kinds of relentless and pervasive shit (including violence) directly because them skateboarding was not considered "regular nigga" kind of shit. Detroit is literally the most racially polarized area in the country--black folks make up nearly 90% of the city's population. Motherfuckers here are still country as hell, because this is where most southern workers came (obviously for industrial jobs) during what historians call the Great Migration. Consequently, the black community here may not be as progressive as say those in New York.

Regardless, my initial comment about what I have seen my black friends who skate contend with from lots of other black folks--that's not an opinion, or a conveyance of my racial stance, it's simply a matter of fact based unfortunately to more experiences than I care to remember.

it doesn't seem like he 'catches' his board and them lands, instead it looks more like hes just landing them by force.  its almost as if his wheels make contact with the ground first, then his feet land on his board.
don't get me wrong, it still takes a great amount of skill and balls to do what hes doing but i'd rather see him loosen up a bit and throw some finesse/style into the mix.

Motherfuckers here are still country as hell, because this is where most southern workers came (obviously for industrial jobs) during what historians call the Great Migration. Consequently, the black community here may not be as progressive as say those in New York.

Regardless, my initial comment about what I have seen my black friends who skate contend with from lots of other black folks--that's not an opinion, or a conveyance of my racial stance, it's simply a matter of fact based unfortunately to more experiences than I care to remember.

I was just rewatching a few of the episodes.  Did anyone ever make a banner with Forrest's "It's fun to get cut up and stuff" quote?  He said it in the second or third episode.  There have been some good quotes in the more recent episodes, too.

so how do you judge something like this anyway? by who is the best skateboarder? who is the nicest? who is the funniest? who gives the best hugs? the problem is, its impossible to compare someone like forrest to someone like, mango. totally different styles and attitudes. so basically people just like one guy instead of the other. and everyone esle can argue about whether his wheels grinded the whole way down.

I don't see how doing a staple trick the traditional way to landing with your weight centered is anymore dangerous than doing another staple trick, but floating it the opposite direction it usually goes, and landing off-centered down the same ledge

Fuck that. 360 flipping into anything, especially a twelve stair hubba is way hard. Even if you have them on lock you lose control of the board for so long it's pretty much hit or miss whether you lock into the grind or even get it up onto the ledge in a position to land on it. That said Reuben's trick was way more enjoyable to watch and this argument is still stupid.

No.
Kickflips going the other way can be much easier overcome than tossing a 360 flip into a precise place.  I think a slightly alley oop flippy grinder has nothing on a fast rotating flippy spinny grinder.  Let's just all go out and try them on a small hubba and then have a poll because this is obviously the most important thing in our lives.
Forrest lost the competition - I guess we all know how Whiteley feels.

Thats not to say his tricks arent good enough to win it, if we wanna base it off tricks then he should win it, hes gotten the way more footage and GOOD shit at 99% of the spots they went to.

Ha - solely because of this thread I actually tried both of these tricks on a small hubba at a park last night. I didn't make either, but I got a kickflip to front 50 without too much trouble. I think if I woulda tried like a zillion times the 5-0 was definitely a possibility.

Didn't even come close with the tre. Really, doing a tre up anything bigger than a curb seems really hard to me.

So, based on my efforts as a thoroughly average old fart skateboarder who would be terrified even to boardslide the Clipper ledge, I gotta say that Forest gets the gnar award. Both tricks were sick, though.

It's weird seeing people take sides so heavily. Both tricks were crazer, but for different reasons. Tall 360 flip vs. alley-oop kickflip. Different people have different tricks locked. Example, I got 3 flip 50s (on boxes), but can't kickflip into anything frontside to save my life (except nose, but thats different).  Then there are people who have it the opposite way. Arguing about what's more comfortable/easier for two different people is pretty fucking strange.

I have to put in a word on this.

I didn't care much for Forest when I started watching OIAM, but now I'm down with the kid (at this point anyway). So many people hate on him, and I really can't see a legitimate reason. Sure, he's got some personality quirks, but nothing that's really hate-worthy. Really, come on now. Something that any of you who are skaters should realize, is that this is how a lot of skaters are perceived by the mainstream masses anyway. Especially in the 90s. OIAM isn't a popularity contest, and it's clear that Forest is a VERY talented skater. I would be psyched if he won.

Neither does a 5-0 on a down ledge and you'll find a lot of people feel the same.  In fact, I think a good proportion of people would find it easier than a 50-50, me being one of them.
I don't really like the trick either, but 360 flip 50 down a hubba is def harder than a kickflip front 5-0 for the vast majority of people.  No question.  At least to the people that can grasp the mechanics of both.

All I said was that it's hard to say one way or another because, while they were on the same ledge, they're completely different tricks. This is a comment on the tricks in general, outside of the competition. I was just surprised people were so confidently saying one trick was obviously harder than the other, while others argued the other way, which kind of proves my point. Not quite giving them your "fun time" award, but I can't really say I think one was any more difficult than the other, both just crazy.

I guess I should keep in mind it is a contest, and everything is looked at under scrutiny. Rueban takes it in my book, as kickflip front 5's are something so foreign to me, and he did it more confidently and cleaner that Forrest did his trick. Rueban also said he is scared of skating big hubbas, so him doing something on Clipper as opposed to Forrest, whose game plan is "Go Big", makes it all the more impressive.

My book, Rueban won Clipper.

Happy?

Fair enough. I pretty much agree with that. At the same time, maybe its my personality, but I think its kind of a fun and harmless argument.

Whoever pointed out that 5-0 on the downledge thing has a point, but I still say that the alley-oop kickflip or whatever its called on is tougher, and that you do have to catch your kickflip a certain way to do a kickflip 5-0. I've only done them backside, but that's my experience with them.

Idk Forrest looks about the same height. That was probably the worst episode yet, quite a dud, it would've spiced things up a little if someone would've grinded the knobs off the rail, seems like a rail just about everyone coulda done something on.

forrest is like 5'6. john is like 6'0. I just noticed mango and forrest boards actually went the highest. I would've won that challenge because I'm taller than john. That was lame.

whatever man, just don't try the same shit you were when you fucked yourself over.
I'm all for superstitions and stuff, but i can't get down with that level of pussydom.
It was lame as fuck when Forrest didn't even bother trying to skate the flowershop, and its lame as fuck now that Matty wouldn't skate a skatepark.
they should both just focus their boards, hug shirtless, and feed each other Reynold's fruit while the rest of the gang leaves them behind.

Damn thanks for clarifying COTG, it's good to know that you got the specs of all the OIAM skaters. It's crazy to think Forrest and I are the same height, I'm pretty short, maybe his skating makes him look taller.

Does Nick just not skate anymore? That guy's just been super lame the whole time, other than that back tail at the ditch. He looks pretty tall, and seemed to carve around the flower shop okay, so not sure why he didn't even participate in the sticker contest. I was expecting it to be between him and John.

I agree that the way John just sort of stood up and stuck it on the wall while his board was at like 8:00 was pretty lame. Definitely used his height.

Not sure why everyone's saying John hasn't done shit. He's gotten something decent done at pretty much every spot, other than a couple of the hammer zones. He got that 180 over the rail in one of the first episodes, ripped the flowershop (although Matty had the best trick, IMO), did a couple sick tricks at the ditch, did that high ollie to 50 or 5-0 (can't remember) at the oakland diy spot, did the fakie ollie down the stairs that Forest bs heeled, and has done something at every spot since then other than clipper (I think). That 50 to tailslide at 3rd and army seems to have gone unnoticed, but was pretty dope, IMO.

Mango did some good shit in this one. Surprised he landed that drop at the park and Reuben didn't. Surprised no one's mentioned his " 'sup fag?" comment. I was expecting that to stir up some message board drama.

Is there anyway to give people "props" on here or whatever it's called? Because that thing sweatercuff said about the skatepark not being like your molesting uncle was fucking hilarious.

I gotta admit I got my hopes up for some rad footage at that park also. big letdown. also nobody noticed that gonzo looked way more uncomfortable than Forrest on that sticker contest. and I think they probably took the winner to this bomb ass ice cream shop in santa cruz, its right when u get off highway 17 but I can't remember the name of it.

below screen grabs of everybody's carves at their peak. mango definitely came pretty close to john, but i'd say john edged him out by an inch or two. however, the way we worded it was "high sticker slap" and not "high carve", so john definitely takes it. in the next episode he talks about is height advantage in the sticker contest, but either way it's safe to say john won it fair and square.
the plan was to take the winner to marianne's ice cream in santa cruz, which really is the best, but the last spot we skated was far from there so we ended up going to mitchell's in SF on the way back, which is a close second. i believe he opted for the grasshopper pie- mint chocolate chip with oreos.

yeah, it sucked that rail had just been re-knobbed. we did not have a grinder and it would have been sketchy to do in the middle of the day anyhow, plus we were trying to get to a last spot by a certain time. that'll come in thursday's episode. anyhow, john's f/s board, matty's wallride and mango's lines all happened in about 5 minutes while we were getting ready to leave. it was cool they all happened spur of the moment.

as for nik, he kept falling on the same injuries over and over and getting re-hurt and bummed and he was just mostly over it because of that, which sucked. i had high hopes for him, but it just wasn't his week.

I doubt either of them gave a shit, its a fucking drop ollie.
And John's wallride was pretty rad i thought, that screengrab makes it look even gnarlier, tippy toes, board sideways.  It's alot safer keeping your body tight and doing it the way everyone else was.

I've never skated a whole pipe that big before, but in a couple that I have ridden, coming down fakie can be really tricky... when you're rolling forward you know you can turn at the peak of your ride up the wall, but when coming in fakie it's super easy to have your board whip out from under you because your natural tendency is to pump down expecting flatbottom- which never happens, so you wind up either being too straight legged to pump up the other side fakie, or you get kind've "lost" causing you to put too much weight forward, resulting in a projectile skateboard.

It could be different on a bigger pipe like that one, but in the smaller ones I've skated, coming back in fakie was pretty terrifying until getting really really used to it.

the projectile board is the main reason why i'll most likely never skate a full pipe. there's literally no place where a rogue board traveling with that much momentum and you wouldn't be fucked up. but in general it's easier to get higher pumping to fakie than trying to carve, that's just common sense.
Title: Re: Official One In A Million 2010 Thread (ep. 12)
Post by: SK8-N-WorshipSatan on January 10, 2011, 08:38:01 PM
^ yep cause when you carve not all of your momentum goes up, some goes sideways, thus with the same amount of speed you will always get higher on a pump to fakie than a carve.

The above made me think about how spoiled I am, that the only full-pipe I have ever skated, is Louisville's, and in that monster, it would be kind of absurd to be rolling fakie at any time--unless of course your Hewitt going through it switch after backside 5-0ing to fakie, in that gigantic bowl on its one side. Last time I lived in Chicago, made bi-weekly roadtrips down to Louisville for a year or so, and got to skate that thing on the regs'.

Between that long-ass vert capsule thing on one side of it (11, 12 foot), and that burly bowl on the other side of it (13 foot?), the full-pipe at Louisville is so long and high--not to mention motherfuckers are coming through it so fast--that you have problems if you are putzing around inside of it going straight back and forth.

I'm usually not one to criticize anybody's skating, but I will say that that was one of the slowest, most uneventful, and pitiful sticker-sticking-whatever-you-call-its that I have ever seen. And as some people have mentioned, can't believe they went to a park, and no sick lines came out of it--what else are parks for?

You took that line seriously? Really? You really are that stupid huh? That hippie jump was decent, but I know many people who have done that there. That was a "filming a dude messing around in the parking lot before they left the spot" moment.
Also, let's get something straight. The santa cruz park is a pure back and forth kind of park in the street section. There's like one quarterpipe in the whole thing, and its 20 feet wide and about 80 feet long. The bowls are cool, but they are just bowls. Santa Cruz park has some cool shit, but isn't the place to go to film long lines at all.

And Gomez, you plan to never skate a full pipe ever because the board could come around and possibly hit you? Straight pussy shit right there.

the fact is full pipes are fucked and they don't look even remotely fun. why the hell would i risk getting a projectile board to the head when even if i escaped all harm in skating it, i'm sure i won't enjoy it? the fun in skating transition for me is centered around grinds/stalls/slides because that's really all i can do. if i skated a full pipe, the only thing i would be able to do in it is a bunch of reverts and pump fakies. i'm willing to fuck around on shit that i suck at skating if no harm will come from it, but for the same reason that i'm not gonna skate a giant stair set or handrail, i definitely can't imagine myself fucking with a full pipe.

That hippie dude is pretty much what I think of when I think of Santa Cruz, and I remember that place fondly.
Does anybody else think mango has actually been creeping in with some pretty sick footage in the past couple of episodes? The shit he did at 3rd was sick, and I really liked his gap to nosemanual drop to nosemanual to skitch the bus line early in the week. I know he won't win, but he isn't making too poor of a showing in terms of the clips he is gathering.

yeah but i dunno that last line with 3 tre flips in a row was so fugly, i guess it wasnt a proper line but it looked really gay.. the hippy jump that followed was amazing no doubt, but 3 in a row, wernt people going crazy on here when worrest did 2 tre flips in a line??

you're probably talking about the line where he switch 360 flips UP the stairs then down em. switch 3 flippers are fuckin hard to do up stairs.

I thought Forrest was in the final 3 but it doesn't look like it. The guy obviously only cares about Baker/Deathwish dudes because he's constantly referencing them. Theotis might not have skated there but he does come off as a really cool dude, I wonder why Forrest doesn't act like that since he obviously is comparing himself to Theotis. I also doubt the guy is riding for them, those are prolly just the boards he buy cuz he is obsessed with those dudes. I'm seriously wondering what Forrests exit strategy is going to be hahaha.

But unless you skate a tranny spot multiple times to get the lines dialed it might be a little bit much to expect anything but go to tricks.I get what you're saying though.Beyond the gap to hop back into tricks I saw what would you consider gnar gnar at the ditch spot?Some switch tricks like a back tail or noseblunt?Not arguing just trying to gain some perspective.

1 thing i've noticed in my many years of reality television watching: whatever they make it seem like is gonna happen in the previews is the opposite of what is actually gonna happen. plus, if you pause the video at the end when Whitely is talking to the guys, you can see that Forrest, John, and Rueben are wearing the same clothes they were in the pic of the three of them as finalists.

how they picked John over Matt is beyond me. Rueben, Forrest, Matty. no brainer.

I just mean it's hard to compare some semi-mellow lip tricks and frontside airs to 360 flip 50-50 clipper. No one besides rueben even stepped to the harder spots that forrest killed.

Not to say the tricks at the ditch and other tranny spots weren't good, there just hasn't been anything that mind blowing. Everything done on transition so far could be done by heaps of other non-sponsored skaters. The same can't be said about the stuff forrest and reuben have been skating.

I wouldn't say Forrest gets bonus for only skating the hard spots. Clipper is no joke, but that's the only make or break spot they've been to. Then again it's all perspective, that full pipe seemed like it had Forrest shook with his lady faky pumps.
 
I'd like to see each rider get their own separate video part. That to me would make these arguements pretty clear. I just don't see how Forrest can get in the top 3 when he only skated 30% of the spots they visit. You can't build a house with just a couple hammers. Hows that for a cheesy analogy.

Forest comparing himself to Theotis is the greatest irony ever, since Theotis is one of the most obvious examples of how being a super nice guy and getting along with everyone around you will do more than anything else to advance your skate career.

I just dont see what attitude has to do with winning a skateboarding contest. also, these dudes are all very judgmental. their attitudes need work in my opinion. and how is he acting like a dick? because he doesnt tell them what they want to hear? ok, forrest, next time they ask you a question say "yeah dude, totally, youre sooo right. yeah, i love that spot, i love everything you love. totally."

Personally I think Forrest is awesome however, this is what makes skateboarding the best. You can be amazing at skateboarding and just be a total kook and no one will give a fuck about you.

no matter what you think, in my opinion, i will always vote for the guy that gives the 2nd placed guy and all the other ones a high five at the ceremony instead of praising himself as the superior winner. (i�m not saying that forrest would do so, but you get the idea. well, maybe you wont.)

maybe not. asshole. anyway, i think if someones attitude is genuine then thats great. but i just dont think he relates to those dudes. i really dont either. if they were more down to earth i guess i would care more. but they seem pretty out of touch as well and hes getting singled out because he doesnt say or do the "right" thing.

When someone with years of experience in the industry tries to give you advise(as your trying to start in the industry) it's a fucking favor. To blow them off and act like they are bossing you around is some egomaniac, self absorbed, insecurity bullshit. Those slap guys are treating Forrest way nicer than they should.

Dear god, Forrest speaks with an ever-larger foot in his mouth...he could not have picked a worse person to compare himself to than Theotis, who seems like one of the most positive and open-minded dudes ever.

Beyond attitude, the only way you could say Forrest wins, is if you disregard the majority of the spots they went to, and only consider maybe three or four of them--if that many.

If this would have been in regular lower case and capital letters I would have said you were full of shit...but...since you put it in all capitals, I definitely agree.

Also, I would expect a child of about 8, to say something like "I would have had fun if I felt like it, but I didn't feel like it." Forrest is one of the least digested pieces of grizzle in the poo poo that skating just sharted on itself.

so basically you have to be a dorky white guy with a "positive attitude" to win this thing? seriously, who gives a shit about attitude? who are they to say what the right attitude is? they didnt grow up in this guys home, or experience life the way he does. ? i bet in the long run, forrest would be easier to get along with than everyone else in this fucking thing. sweet little mango called him a prick. when did forrest call mango a prick? fucking hypocrites. yeah, he doesnt skate all the spots, but there is hardly a time when all the other dudes are all skating a spot. he just gets singled out cause he says crazy shit. ive skated santa cruz, it can be fun, but ive been there and not had fun. shit happens. dude is funny. at the end of the day, those guys are taking themselves as seriously (if not more) than he is. im not saying forrest should win, from the footage so far, no body deserves to win shit. although forrest has done the most legit stuff, so maybe him or matty.
To begin, John called him a prick not Mango. You're also an idiot to say no one deserves to win shit. All this shit took place in the span of a week. Thats a lot of shit to go down in a week, so if you think it's lacking then you're dumb as fuck. Also attitude does matter a lot, think about it, being on a company you're going to be dealing with people face to face all the time. Is dealing with someone you don't get along with or hate something anyone would like to have to deal with? Having a bit of a better attitude doesn't mean sucking everyones cock either, it just requires being a little more aprciative. No one needs to be in this contest, it's not a right, it's a previllage. Every one got taken out to San Fran and taken to spots all week while on SLAPs dime. So don't get me wrong, I like Forest but he could have been a little more aprrectitive while still being himself instead of acting like the contest owed him something.

He could have easily said it wasn't my type of spot or something like that. I think the Whitely speech he gets is going to be like you made the top 3 but...
Exactly, either he is going out of his way to be a pompous ass or has no filter for what comes out of his mouth.

I have tried to focus on the skating and not think about how much of an douche Forrest has been, but God damn he makes it hard.

And to everyone talking about attitude not making a difference when it comes to a skating career, that may well be true if you bust out on the scene with some amazing video part(s) and lots of magazine coverage. But if your first real exposure to the skateboard industry involves a reality competition show (sorry it is) where you have to interact with other humans and you can't handle it, it will most likely make a difference.

John kinda sucks in my opinion, all he does are f/s airs. Top 3 should definitely be Rueben, Matty and Gonzo kid. Forrest would be in 4th, only cause the dude refuses to skate half the spots.

Gonzo? That dude didn't get nearly as much coverage as some of the other guys. Matty definitely killed it, though.

Yeah, really. I keep seeing people giving that guy props like he's killing it, and I feel like I must be missing half the episodes. The only guy getting less footage is Nik. Even Forest has more tricks, and he's only felt like having fun like 3 times.

so basically you have to be a dorky white guy with a "positive attitude" to win this thing? seriously, who gives a shit about attitude? who are they to say what the right attitude is? they didnt grow up in this guys home, or experience life the way he does. ? i bet in the long run, forrest would be easier to get along with than everyone else in this fucking thing. sweet little mango called him a prick. when did forrest call mango a prick? fucking hypocrites. yeah, he doesnt skate all the spots, but there is hardly a time when all the other dudes are all skating a spot. he just gets singled out cause he says crazy shit. ive skated santa cruz, it can be fun, but ive been there and not had fun. shit happens. dude is funny. at the end of the day, those guys are taking themselves as seriously (if not more) than he is. im not saying forrest should win, from the footage so far, no body deserves to win shit. although forrest has done the most legit stuff, so maybe him or matty.
[close]
To begin, John called him a prick not Mango. You're also an idiot to say no one deserves to win shit. All this shit took place in the span of a week. Thats a lot of shit to go down in a week, so if you think it's lacking then you're dumb as fuck. Also attitude does matter a lot, think about it, being on a company you're going to be dealing with people face to face all the time. Is dealing with someone you don't get along with or hate something anyone would like to have to deal with? Having a bit of a better attitude doesn't mean sucking everyones cock either, it just requires being a little more aprciative. No one needs to be in this contest, it's not a right, it's a previllage. Every one got taken out to San Fran and taken to spots all week while on SLAPs dime. So don't get me wrong, I like Forest but he could have been a little more aprrectitive while still being himself instead of acting like the contest owed him something.
this contest is a nomadic tribe trying to get the hang of agriculture?

I get the feeling that this kid has been living in a little skatepark bubble for so long, and has like a lot of kids these days had the goal of being sponsored and turning pro without developing a personality. So when he leaves his bubble he doesn't know how to interact or act around people. Sure he can kill it, but that's only part of it. When it really comes down to it, he's just a loser shit talker because that's all he knows. I think it's good that he's in this because it adds some contrast to other personalities in skating. Not everybody is cool.

Everyone talking shit on Jon is reeeally showing their ignorance big time. He's killed it so hard everywhere. So, to all of you: be quiet.

Final 3 should've definitely, definitely, definitely been Jon, Reuben, Matty. Yeah, we all saw Forrest drop those three hammers in a row. Also, everyone knew from the second he opened his abysmal fucking mouth he wasn't going to win shit.

On a side note, the whole time I was watching this, I was thinking "I can't fucking wait to see what calloftheghetto says about this episode," and he hasn't even posted yet. Quit slackin.

john has only skated transition well. Especially since he cracked his head open.

Forest and Reuben are so far ahead of the others its not even funny. Matty is only in the conversation because he has the best style.

Haha be quiet, dude. You're just trolling, go watch the videos again.

Matty is fucking sick, and has skated almost every spot. Also, him "just" having a great style isn't a very powerful argument against him ;)

Post by: mikeywalker on January 13, 2011, 04:09:45 PM
I wouldn't say Forrest gets bonus for only skating the hard spots. Clipper is no joke, but that's the only make or break spot they've been to. Then again it's all perspective, that full pipe seemed like it had Forrest shook with his lady faky pumps.
 
I'd like to see each rider get their own separate video part. That to me would make these arguements pretty clear. I just don't see how Forrest can get in the top 3 when he only skated 30% of the spots they visit. You can't build a house with just a couple hammers. Hows that for a cheesy analogy.

you're honestly the biggest faggot, whenever i come in this thread i see you bitching about forrest.

"Theotis, would you skate that ditch spot in Santa Cruz?"
follow up question:
"Do you think you would have fun?"

Also I think the ending of this episode was foreshadowing something wack Forrest might do in the next episode.  Something tells me he does something extra stupid to the other contestants causing them to hate on him.

 Whiteley that call out was right fucking on point.  Santa Cruz is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Gonzo had the typical reaction to a first trip there, Forrest showed yet again what a prick he is
All of you guys bitching about John are missing what I have been explaining to you, and the rest of the judges have all noticed, but you guys still fucking miss because most of you haven't skated hills. that hill bomb the gnarliest thing to go down during the entire contest, and nobody else could have gotten close to bombing it to the bottom, even if there was a runout. The shit at clipper, the double set, all that wasn't shit in comparison. You couldn't fall a couple of times on that spot and eventually make it to the bottom.
You guys can argue and say there was no skill involved, and simultaneously not understand why John was in the top 3, but that dude was shredding everything, skating fast, and did. by far the gnarliest stunt of the contest. All the dudes crushed it this year, and I'm honestly expecting most of them to go on to great things no matter how they did in the final standings of a single event whose most valuable prize is coverage.

And COTG, when you say people should "admit" to shit, it shows a real shallow and lacking brain there. You ever think that a bunch of people who disagree with you on everything else might also genuinely completely disagree with you on one more thing? Just something you may want to think about.

You are a fucking moron. Go on up to SF, you could be pro. Jones st. is waiting homie.
But again, keep disagreeing with my points and saying I don't skate or understand skating, then remain confused when the judges confirm every damn word I am saying.

And Cotg- what you have experienced in your local scene is not what occurs outside of it. Your perspective is very much one of a person who needs to get the fuck out of where he is living, at least to understand that other ways of life exist.

prod don't really fuck with tranny and if you had to choose one person who is at the pinnacle of of the skateboarding game (for actually skating) at the moment, he might be it.

it's funny that peeps call cotg stupid for not seeing that other people have different perspectives then the same people turn around and call forrest stupid for having a different perspective from the rest of the contestants.  it's true cotg needs to open his eyes to the rest of the world, but so does everyone else saying forrest is an idiot for his motivations and what he finds enjoyable.
the only thing that fitz did that warrants him being in the top three in my mind was the hill bomb (which he didn't make) and the attempted hill bomb to set ollie (which he didn't make).  everything else he did was alright, but by all rights, I think matty shoulda made it to the top three instead of him.
forrest is the best skateboarder there and therefore should win.  faggots getting angry about his antics is just a bonus.  if attitude is what wins skateboard contest then gonzo should have won a thousand times over.

Joe Brooks to Mango:

"I think out of everyone here you came here with like the best attitude, which is what this whole contest is really about"

He should have told Forrest that he'd be better off smiling than skating before taking him to Clipper.

Fat Joe Brooks on Forrest:

"...and he kept on saying I want to go to clipper and point blank he was like I'm going to 360 flip clipper and I'm like alright, this is a contest, I'm going to take you there and you're going to 360 flip 50-50 it."

so basically you have to be a dorky white guy with a "positive attitude" to win this thing? seriously, who gives a shit about attitude? who are they to say what the right attitude is? they didnt grow up in this guys home, or experience life the way he does. ? i bet in the long run, forrest would be easier to get along with than everyone else in this fucking thing. sweet little mango called him a prick. when did forrest call mango a prick? fucking hypocrites. yeah, he doesnt skate all the spots, but there is hardly a time when all the other dudes are all skating a spot. he just gets singled out cause he says crazy shit. ive skated santa cruz, it can be fun, but ive been there and not had fun. shit happens. dude is funny. at the end of the day, those guys are taking themselves as seriously (if not more) than he is. im not saying forrest should win, from the footage so far, no body deserves to win shit. although forrest has done the most legit stuff, so maybe him or matty.
[close]
To begin, John called him a prick not Mango. You're also an idiot to say no one deserves to win shit. All this shit took place in the span of a week. Thats a lot of shit to go down in a week, so if you think it's lacking then you're dumb as fuck. Also attitude does matter a lot, think about it, being on a company you're going to be dealing with people face to face all the time. Is dealing with someone you don't get along with or hate something anyone would like to have to deal with? Having a bit of a better attitude doesn't mean sucking everyones cock either, it just requires being a little more aprciative. No one needs to be in this contest, it's not a right, it's a previllage. Every one got taken out to San Fran and taken to spots all week while on SLAPs dime. So don't get me wrong, I like Forest but he could have been a little more aprrectitive while still being himself instead of acting like the contest owed him something.

honestly, yeah taking Forest to SF giving him the opportunity was nice, but he is the only reason this shit is getting so much publicity. i've been seeing kids who don't follow the industry at all much less go on Slap quoting Forrest in Facebook statuses week after week

Yeah, I like Forest too man. I think the shit he says is hilarious and he rips, but he could still be a cocky dude without acting like the contest owed him something. I think for the most part I'm only reffering to what he said in episode 15 about Santa Cruz. But it doesn't actually bother me, it was still funny, it's just having a slightly better attitude about the situation at hand may have favoured him a lot better.

Whiteley that call out was right fucking on point.  Santa Cruz is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Gonzo had the typical reaction to a first trip there, Forrest showed yet again what a prick he is
All of you guys bitching about John are missing what I have been explaining to you, and the rest of the judges have all noticed, but you guys still fucking miss because most of you haven't skated hills. that hill bomb the gnarliest thing to go down during the entire contest, and nobody else could have gotten close to bombing it to the bottom, even if there was a runout. The shit at clipper, the double set, all that wasn't shit in comparison. You couldn't fall a couple of times on that spot and eventually make it to the bottom.
You guys can argue and say there was no skill involved, and simultaneously not understand why John was in the top 3, but that dude was shredding everything, skating fast, and did. by far the gnarliest stunt of the contest. All the dudes crushed it this year, and I'm honestly expecting most of them to go on to great things no matter how they did in the final standings of a single event whose most valuable prize is coverage.

And COTG, when you say people should "admit" to shit, it shows a real shallow and lacking brain there. You ever think that a bunch of people who disagree with you on everything else might also genuinely completely disagree with you on one more thing? Just something you may want to think about.
[close]

you obviously are not good at skating.  i skate tranny, bomb hills, do switch tres and i can tell you, bombing hills is easy and fun. tranny is easy unless youre cardiel or daewon, and the shit on clipper was hard. the tricks down the double set, also hard. the front shove crook, hard. frontside ollies on tranny, easy, etc... also, who gives a shit if someone doesnt like santa cruz? ive been there tons of times, the park is congested and annoying. fucking hippies and petuli should be shot.
[close]
hahahahahahahaha.
You are a fucking moron. Go on up to SF, you could be pro. Jones st. is waiting homie.
But again, keep disagreeing with my points and saying I don't skate or understand skating, then remain confused when the judges confirm every damn word I am saying.

And Cotg- what you have experienced in your local scene is not what occurs outside of it. Your perspective is very much one of a person who needs to get the fuck out of where he is living, at least to understand that other ways of life exist. Its really funny too, because if you want to see a place where kids skate tranny a lot more than street, go to the city featured in this episode.

so you need conformation? figures.  oh, and i fucking skate down ski slopes. big ass wheels, no sliding, straight bombing. and can you turn pro for bombing a hill? ummm, no.

Ronald,

It was crazy, he went fast, there was no run out, the hill kind of rolled and dropped off at one point but it really ISn't the most difficult thing that went down in the week of skating. I think that in your case "the looks might have been more deceiving than it was".

its called an ad hominem attack. its what you do when you dont have a real argument. yeah dude, explain to us how hard it is to ride a skateboard down a hill into a building. i did that shit when i was 12, straight into barbed wire fence. i bombed that fucking hill! hella gnarly bro. sound familiar, yeah, that shit is easy. if he would have gotten out of it i would have been impressed, but instead he got worked while forrest did a kickflip bigspin, backside 360 and switch tre down a fucked up double set in less than 15 minutes. if you think those were the only tricks he could have done, or that they were easier than bombing a hill, youre the idiot.

figured this Staba quote from crailtap today fits well right in the middle of this "arguement."

"As for the next 15 years, I want to give back to skateboarding as long as I can. It's given me more than I could ever have dreamed of. I've said this before, but people who think skateboarding owes them something can fuck right off. From the minute you step on a skateboard you're on skateboarding's terms and in some sense indebted to it."

on that note, cotg and geoff; you guys can fuck right off.

as for who I'm digging in this competition, Jon is a natural all-around killer, Matty's got some superb style and Reuben seems indestructible.
I get the feeling Nik is extremely camera shy and/or just shy in general. but if that backtail front 180 at that ditch spot is any inclination of his talent he's got something going for him.

Gonzalo hasn't really stood out a whole lot for me and Mango essentially seems like a weirdo. creative, unique and talented but definitely a weirdo.

and finally, Forrest seems like some pompous jerk that, although also extremely talented, just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. if this kid is set out to represent skateboarding for a major company in the industry I would whole-heartedly boycott that company. maybe he's the first wave of a new-age, contest skating, in-it-for-the-money type or just entirely out of touch with reality. I don't really know and all that matters to me is that I simply don't like the guy.

If you're extremely comfortable on a skateboard, rolling down slopes is easy, and I've never been to that hill John bombs, but Omar fucking Hassan said it was the fastest he's ever seen anyone go on a skateboard, and no one can deny that it was super gnarly.  Just watch the footage.  Super gnarly.  And anyone who thinks it's easy should go bomb it right now and post the footage, and I guarantee you get tossed halfway down, wobblin' the fuck out.

Anyone who doesn't skate tranny is ignoring a huge facet of skateboarding.  Purposefully not having fun seems contrary to human behavior.

what is this religion 101? when did I say skateboarding owed anyone anything? what the fuck does that even mean? thats like saying life owes you something. its non sequitur and pointless. all im arguing is that everyone in that contest was weird and wanted to win. or was highly judgemental. so differentiating between them came down to a subjective interpretation. forrest is funny, he might be full of himself, but i would argue that skating right after fucking your head up like that is also a little cocky. and thats cool. the ones getting mad at forrest are the ones who cant have fun. forrest said who could have fun if he wanted to, some of you dont even want to, you just want to hate the guy for being different. none of those clips made him look like he was a dick, just out of touch. but, like i said, the other guys were all out of touch in their own way. and as for hill bombing, yes that was grarly, but he didnt exactly come out of it ok, did he. anyone can get fucked up riding down a steep ass hill. anyway, this shits getting old, skateboarding, you dont owe us anything, whatever the fuck that means.

i agree with the sentiment, when I go to a new spot i usually want to skate it. i have been to a spot or two though where it just really did not look that fun. i can understand not wanting to skate the flower shop (although im down to skate it) if youre more into ledges and stairs, its a totally different mindset.

i agree with the sentiment, when I go to a new spot i usually want to skate it. i have been to a spot or two though where it just really did not look that fun. i can understand not wanting to skate the flower shop (although im down to skate it) if youre more into ledges and stairs, its a totally different mindset.

i'm saying though, the ditch spot and the flower shop both had a lot of different obstacles to skate and offered different ways of skating them.  to me, those type of places let you be creative which is a huge part of skating that a lot of people are missing.
 
a skating ledges are fun.  theres tons of different tricks you can do but theres no way you can skate it differently other than as a ledge.  does that make sense?  unless theres something interesting about it(curves, angles, etc)a ledge spot is a ledge spot is a ledge spot. 
 
same goes with stairs.  for the most part, the only thing you're doing at a stair spot is a fliptrick.  you can rifle off all your fliptricks down them, then what?  theres not much more you can other than go to yet another set of stairs and do the same fliptricks. 
people can argue 'but that was a 9 stair, this is a 11 stair so its different' but to me its the same.  its boring, repetitive and uninteresting in every way to me.  i don't really consider a set of stairs as a spot unless theres something unique about them that lets you skate them differently from everyone else who goes there.         
 
minus his crappy attitude, this why i can't get down with forrests skating.  hes not doing anything original and he doesn't think outside the box, instead hes just stuck in one.

 Forest is sick and all u fags are crying about how he doesnt have fun when he skates some ditch spot, who cares different people like different shit, theres no such thing as saying one obstacle is funner than the other.

 The show would be pretty boring if it wasnt for him. It would just be a bunch of dudes saying how sick and fun everything is after every episode, at least forest keeps it real and isnt afraid to say he doenst like a spot or something. Its not like he was randomly picked out from a crowd and granted all this free shit, he worked for it and earned it, he shouldnt have kiss their ass all day long.

 That being said, Nik is the raddest and should win cause hes also getting a math degree. Sure he doesnt get as much footy, but hes gotten some good shit, aka backtail 270. Hes probably the best skater that can do advanced calculus and linear algebra and all that shit so he should win an award. sure forest/ruben are the best out of the group, but niks probably the best skater/mathematician in north america. Tommy sandoval agreed.

who cares? 
this is the worst argument ever.  it obvious all the people in this thread care, including yourself otherwise you wouldn't be posting in it.

keeps it real?
if keeping it real is saying the first shit that pops in your head no matter how stupid is it, yeah hes keeping it real.   

isn't afraid?   
hes afraid to skate a lot of stuff.  when most people don't want to skate a spot, its usually because they're hurt, they can't or because they're afraid.  pick one because there really is no other reason. 

he worked for it and earned it?
he submitted a 1 minute part like a million other kids and got lucky.  the only thing his work has earned was a trip to SF and some free product.  he doesn't have to suck them off but he should be grateful they flew him out and hooked him up.  same goes for anyone whos in that kind of position.

I mean, for anyone who said "let's see you bomb that hill - you'll just eat shit"... yeah you'll eat shit - just like the kid on the show did... just like ANYONE would...

There is no where to go when you get to the bottom! Bombing a hill where the only way to stop is by doing a header into a wall means you are either stone cold shithouse crazy or just dumb as a rock.

I mean, what, if he had jumped off the Golden Gate bridge, would he get skater of the year or something?

uh i donno if you've ever done a powerslide before but the amount of control he had and the fact that he didn't skid 50 feet on his face after trying to powerslide going that fast is really fucking impressive.. maybe it was a bad call but he nearly could've curved out if he did a few more slides.

it's clear forrest only likes to skate the spots he knows no one else has anything for.  

sends a clear message.  "you are not on my level of skating or fun."

like what, the other dudes (except rueben) didn't want fun at clipper, or the double set, or the rail where drunk dude got broke?

but maybe they did have fun because it is fun to watch a person with real hammers drop them.

and if you can go pro for eating shit, then i'm gonna need a filmer.

i know at least one person, possibly two, who could probably do that hill and not eat shit.  in fact, i think one of them actually already did it before because he has no brains.  we always go to the flower shop on sf trips so next time maybe i can coax one of these fools into doing it for the cam.

he is quite fearless when it comes to speeding down nearly vertical hills and i sometimes fear for his life.  he's not kickflipping in the middle of a bomb like matt beach but he does do some fucked up ollies.  i'm actually gonna be "sharing" a part with him when the homie vid comes out.  sharing is in quotes because i'm the tim o'connor of the crew - after 5 years of filming i'll have about 7 clips to his 4 minutes.  that being said, i can tell you that he ain't gonna 360 flip 50 or kickflip front 5-0 clipper any time soon.

forrest doesn't have to make sense, have fun, or be your friend.  he is the heart of the show and is the winner in my book on that basis alone.  when he glares, i smile.

People keep asking how its possible he won. I have explained why some people thought he was so great several times, yet you guys still keep banging your head against a wall confused. asking how it is possible.

ballchinian, you claim there is no skill related to bombing hills, but now you have friends who bomb that hill, from the top, all the time. That Omar Hassan sure is a pussy. I mean, he skates gnarly shit with gnarly skaters all the time, but somehow that was the fastest he's ever seen somebody go. Obviously a pussy and a shit skater, with you and your no name friends bombing that hill with no problems at all.
Again, keep arguing why me, Omar Hassan, and the staff of slap magazine don't know what we are talking about. I am confident that I am in good company with my opinion.

And COTG, the shit you said about Forrest just now is what makes it that much more embarassing when you say that you act like this in real life.


Oh, and all the people trying to be down talking about how rad Sean Young is for bombing jones st- they didn't show him rolling away on a flat to a stop either, because the act of going down a very steep hill is a feat (bonus points if you get the reference) in itself.

You read it wrong. I was laughing at how stupid you are. Nobody is arguing with you because they chose to ignore your comment. I choose to point it out and laugh at you, then remind others that this is actually how you claim to act in real life, which makes me laugh even more. Your attempt to argue is called poisoning the well. Its a logical fallacy, meaning that according to people with brains any argument that includes "anybody who says____________ is clearly__________________" in an attempt to stifle opposition without actually presenting a reason is actually weakening their argument.

why has this whole thing been a john vs forrest argument?
there is not even really any way of winning or losing the argument, i mean forrest doesn't feel comfortable in the group thats something thats probably happened to a lot of us and from my experience it doesn't make you a happier person.
he (forrest) skates like a beast, says some shit that he feels is true (also is kinda joking i sometimes i think), the if i wanted to have fun thing was kind of weird but if your not feeling comfortable i could see why he would say that.
as for john i like that he tries to skate almost every spot, but so do rueben and matty also with good not better tricks.
I still feel its hard to say who is the winner because what are the criteria, skating every spot or showing your best at the spots you feel you can really show your skills?
i really wouldn't want to be judging .

In terms of hammers or bangers or whatevs you call its then reuben vs forrest as far as i am concerned

in terms of steez its gonzo vs matt - �gonzo has been good how much has he done? but is it gonna go down to a trick count/ tally?

I only wish gonzo had more tricks, the few things i have seen has been totally sick or steezy - is it gonna go down to who has skated the hardest? by definition it goes to Nik if you are counting 'war wounds'...

if its a matter of steez v personality I guess its down to whoever can suck dick the best while switch? or should i say swizz or s/s? Forgive me, I may be unwittingly sarcastic at times...

if these forums get too ugly we could always do a mass game of s.k.a.t.e via skype?...

But all in all, each dude has his own approach, I think everyone has been goaded by the dude editing these shows... I mean this is 'OIAM' not 'Paris Hilton's BFF' even tho I have no idea what or who Paris Hilton or MTV is...

if i had never heard of OIAM and someone told me this was a promo i would have thought

rueben.   wow pretty amazing all around.  good style and some really impressive tricks
nick.   must be on the not filming program.   sad too because that dudes footage on youtube is really impressive
mango.   some cool goofy tricks
gonzo.  good but forgettable
matty.  great style and really fun to watch
forrest.  definite hammer time.  some really crazy tricks, not my favorite style though
john.  good at some tranny stuff and bombed a crazy hill.  fakie ollie was crazy.

i am not trying to start a war with anyone but going off that footage and ignoring personalities i would expect Rueben, Forrest and Matty to be in the finals if i had to guess.   john is really good, don't get me wrong, but i think matty is more enjoyable to watch.  rueben and forrest have skills you cant really deny.

John ain't Julien and this ain't 1992..

homeboy didn't even do a pop shove.

dont worry, this dude John is about as marketable to kids as hemorrhoid cream. He'll get his year of free stuff, get booted from his sponsors then never be heard from or remembered again.

I liked the series, therefore I felt like I should make a montage of all the tricks done by the contestants.
I apologized in advance for the lack of skate sounds and the already been used song (it kinda fit perfectly with the length of the video, so I just used it).

It's not really an edit, more of a compilation of all the clips to see how they stack up to one another.
I hope you enjoy.

Enjoyed!

I'm sure that the stuff that went down at Paul's park probably weighed in pretty heavy.

ballchinian, you claim there is no skill related to bombing hills, but now you have friends who bomb that hill, from the top, all the time. That Omar Hassan sure is a pussy. I mean, he skates gnarly shit with gnarly skaters all the time, but somehow that was the fastest he's ever seen somebody go. Obviously a pussy and a shit skater, with you and your no name friends bombing that hill with no problems at all.
Again, keep arguing why me, Omar Hassan, and the staff of slap magazine don't know what we are talking about. I am confident that I am in good company with my opinion.

damn, dude, i didn't realize i felt that way.  thanks for telling me what my opinion is and then trying dismiss it without a real argument.  u so smaht.  why does anyone bother with you?  you suck the fun out of every topic better than your vacuum cleaner sucks the ejaculate out your 4 inch.  no matter how much you wish it, your opinions will never be fact.  i'm done.
PLEASE stop posting. You are mad because I pointed out how stupid you sound, and seem upset that I do this often. I PROMISE I won't stop doing it to you until you go away with your unintelligent attempts to shit talk amazing skating.
Also, I made it clear my opinion was my opinion, and was just pointing out the fact that people I respect share the same opinion, so the opinions of dipshits like you seem pretty stupid in comparison. I think its pretty legitimate to defer to the opinions of experts in the field and cite the opinions of people who viewed it go down first hand even if your shallow mind doesn't think that is a legitimate argument
edit: also, its odd that you didn't know you felt the way you did, when all I did was summarize the main points of your posts.

those two edits were great. fun to watch for sure. if i were to be honest, the first compilation made me like all of the guys. they all skate well and look like theyre having fun (even forrest). judging between all of them is pretty impossible, they all have different styles. Matty seems like the most well rounded skater, so maybe he should win, i dont know.

Mango clearly has an old school goofball vibe to him. 

The dudes who first progressed skateboarding...all they way into the mid to late 90's were pretty much all goofs. 

Skateboarding is built on being goofy....cool to not be cool etc.

On another note, I'mjust going to throw it out there, but Forest Edwards wouldn't have landed his 3 flip 50-50 at clipper if Reuben hadn't landed his trick first.

Yeah man, say what you will about Forrest and him being socially regular or whatever but I don't think there's any questioning his heart and determination to land that 360 flip 50-50.

He said he was gonna go there and do it and he did, and although it is rad that Rueben landed his trick also, Forrest didn't need anybody else to land something first, he was either gonna land that shit or get broke the fuck off trying.

Uhh, the drama IS why people tune in.It's why reality tv shows look so forced and people go out of their way to cause an argument or situation, to give the show content and conflict.People tune in to those shows because it's interesting.If it was just skateboarding it would get some views and be a somewhat relevant topic, but look at every skateboard contest out there, theyre forgotten about instantly.This one has gotten A LOT of publicity and it's brought  traffic to the slap sight.The other bs besides the skating is what separates this contest from the others.Personality has everything to do with it, just like the skating.Obviously this point is lost on you.It's the type of environment they wanted to create, if you wanted another homogenized boring trick for trick instant scored battle there are plenty out there to watch. 
Whether or not whitely is purposely showcasing forrest's attitude in a way to discredit him or merely just replaying the days events is probably a little of both.Theyre trying to gain viewers.Maybe he shouldn't have acted like a fool but maybe they shouldn't have shown it either.It's content.And at the end of the day he said those words, and it's part of the contest so of course theyre going to show it.Mango is suffering from it too.Don't put something out there if you don't want people to know.He signed up for this and knew he would be on display.Much like being a sponsored skater.The tricks you do and spots you skate dictate how the public perceives you.It's all within your power to do what you want, don't be mad if someone documents it and you come off badly.You have no one to blame but you, trick or attitude wise.

JUst to clarify something too- keeping it real by being a total piece of shit is not cool, all it means is you really are a piece of shit. Forrest didn't know how to act. Maybe this will help him learn that he isn't some sort of god of skating who can act however he wants. Maybe he'll get a little more modest of a head on his shoulders and in the long run this will be good for him.
Shouldn't, you'd be a better friend by realizing what a complete prick forrest acted like, and maybe talking to him instead of the people who think he sucks and don't care about your perspective.

Shouldn't, you'd be a better friend by realizing what a complete prick forrest acted like, and maybe talking to him instead of the people who think he sucks and don't care about your perspective.

Mango clearly has an old school goofball vibe to him. 

The dudes who first progressed skateboarding...all they way into the mid to late 90's were pretty much all goofs. 

Skateboarding is built on being goofy....cool to not be cool etc.

On another note, I'mjust going to throw it out there, but Forest Edwards wouldn't have landed his 3 flip 50-50 at clipper if Reuben hadn't landed his trick first.

Serious question: If you're not just fucking around what's holding you back?  I don't know how good at skating you really are because your footy is somewhat old except for the tranny shit, and people who skate every day progress pretty quickly.

Other life plans?  Just wondering.  I chose a different path at one point in my life.

Forrest is sick, his personality can be a little off but he probably hangs out with a bunch of dudes who are just like him so he rarely notices. I do find it weird how he can be so down with theotis but not realize while theo is really sick he didn't get where he is solely from ripping, theo seems like the nicest dude in america.

Also for COTG being nice doesn't equal dick riding in every scenario, or even the vast majority of scenarios. However being too nice for the sake of  acceptance can be dick riding (though I personally don't think that everyone who is nice is being nice to be accepted, as that would be a jaded worldview).

sorry reuben, but that speech at the beginning was like at a beauty-pageant. "i want to save the world and be friends with everybody." i like nice guys, but that was a tad too much to be genuine.

the kid is still a kid.  he hasn't faced the harsh reality of life and those in it.....yet.



off topic,
does anyone else think that forrest is a slap member and lurks the shit out of all of COTG posts?
hes like a mirror image of his persona in every way.  i wouldn't be surprised if he was one of the cockriders of cotg on the boards.

How do you know they didn't, just because it wasn't edited in? And for that matter, what is the above supposed to mean--that Forrest is too intimidating to say things to his face--that Nick dude looks like he'd break that little troll in half.

It takes far more effort to act like Forrest--meaning feel and act threatend by anything and anyone that is different than you--than it does to act like all of the rest of the dudes in this.

Some people are genuinely just content, and consequently everyday and everybody are a blessing, and are treated accordingly.

Forrest acts like the only way he can see himself, is in the eyes of other people, and to someone like this (of which there are a few in here), any amiability on someone else's part needs to be synonymous with "dickriding," because to acknowledge the goodness in other people's tolerance and open-mindedness, would be to say a bunch of gnarly things about oneself.

When you keep in mind that the prize is becoming a representative of a company, I think it's pretty fair to make those critiques. It's not like Mark has no industry experience... he knows what he's talking about.

As far as the other dudes making negative comments about Forest, that's their thing but I'm not really into saying negative stuff on camera if the person isn't there. But that's the perception they had, and if Forest can vocalize that some of the dudes are weird (his opinion) it's fair enough that they'd think he's an ass (just another opinion).

Nigger...

...is one of my favorite books, and perhaps an extremely important one as they go through and remove that word from Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn.

The book, Nigger, is written by Randall Kennedy, and is perhaps the starkest and most honest etymological study of the word "nigger" to date.

Kennedy (a black man, and educator at Harvard) argues against removing that word from Twain's books, as it will--among other things--be a form of revisionism that will distort a history that needs to be dealt with as honestly and meticulously as possible, so as to help to prevent it from happening again.

Oh, and by the way, none of the other dudes seem like the kind of guys who would even have that word in their vocabulary. A douche is a douche no matter what kind of predictable, trite, hollow, BET-learned cliches you couch them in.

...is one of my favorite books, and perhaps an extremely important one as they go through and remove that word from Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn.

The book, Nigger, is written by Randall Kennedy, and is perhaps the starkest and most honest etymological study of the word "nigger" to date.

Kennedy (a black man, and educator at Harvard) argues against removing that word from Twain's books, as it will--among other things--be a form of revisionism that will distort a history that needs to be dealt with as honestly and meticulously as possible, so as to help to prevent it from happening again.

Oh, and by the way, none of the other dudes seem like the kind of guys who would even have that word in their vocabulary. A douche is a douche no matter what kind of predictable, trite, hollow, BET-learned cliches you couch them in.
HAHAHAHAHA hurry up and put your foot back in before anyone notices.

I just re-watched the epidsodes, and forest is a bitch for not skating that over the rail to bank on the first day. I thought he liked to get cut up and stuff or was he not realy trying that day?

That seems to be true, though at the same time, from my experience as a white boy, its not like as soon as black people leave the room white people turn off some sort of fake filter and start referring to black people as N___ this and N____ that.

Krew, I did most of my growing up in the city of Detroit, and although my skin is fair, my views and actions are far, far, far more radical and to the left than even some of the borderline 5-percenter friends that I have had. The concept of race is a fallacious cognitive construct with absolutely no biological foundation in reality.

Class is what keeps poor people poor, and rich people rich. And all of this attention to race is just pure divide-and-conquer methodology used to keep the masses from ever doing things together, that I can't believe for the life of me, is still allowed to work so efficaciously even in this supposed time of knowledge and progress.

With regards to the word, "nigger," you should know that most younger white people don't even have it in their vocabularies--you need to go back a generation or two for that kind of pervasiveness of its usage. In fact, I think you're operating in kind of a myopic, subjective bubble if you truly think that white kids out in suburbs where they do not even see black people that often, even think about black people.

And by the way, it's white "man," not white "boy"--I'm 40 years old there, player.

How do you know they didn't, just because it wasn't edited in? And for that matter, what is the above supposed to mean--that Forrest is too intimidating to say things to his face--that Nick dude looks like he'd break that little troll in half.

because white people never call black people niggers to their face. �

Nigger...

...is one of my favorite books, and perhaps an extremely important one as they go through and remove that word from Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn.

The book, Nigger, is written by Randall Kennedy, and is perhaps the starkest and most honest etymological study of the word "nigger" to date.

Kennedy (a black man, and educator at Harvard) argues against removing that word from Twain's books, as it will--among other things--be a form of revisionism that will distort a history that needs to be dealt with as honestly and meticulously as possible, so as to help to prevent it from happening again.

Oh, and by the way, none of the other dudes seem like the kind of guys who would even have that word in their vocabulary. A douche is a douche no matter what kind of predictable, trite, hollow, BET-learned cliches you couch them in.

LOL this is gold

Krew, I did most of my growing up in the city of Detroit, and although my skin is fair, my views and actions are far, far, far more radical and to the left than even some of the borderline 5-percenter friends that I have had. The concept of race is a fallacious cognitive construct with absolutely no biological foundation in reality.

Class is what keeps poor people poor, and rich people rich. And all of this attention to race is just pure divide-and-conquer methodology used to keep the masses from ever doing things together, that I can't believe for the life of me, is still allowed to work so efficaciously even in this supposed time of knowledge and progress.

With regards to the word, "nigger," you should know that most younger white people don't even have it in their vocabularies--you need to go back a generation or two for that kind of pervasiveness of its usage. In fact, I think you're operating in kind of a myopic, subjective bubble if you truly think that white kids out in suburbs where they do not even see black people that often, even think about black people.

And by the way, it's white "man," not white "boy"--I'm 40 years old there, player.

Teach us o' aged one.

I'll concede the above to you--especially as concerns the kind of misanthropic wingnuts who play online video games. And no, I don't play video games period, nor have I "been to 4chan," although I do read youtube comments, and I guess what I watch on youtube doesn't generally attract the kind of people that use the word "nigger."

But I think this then begs the distinction of the kind of people who mostly live on the internet, and the kind of people who live mostly in the physical world of people. I say the latter is still--at least at this point--the vast majority.

I sat by and watched and listened as some friends played online Socom a couple of times, and there are definitely some fucking unhinged, unstable dingbats in there. But I still think they are fairly isolated, and that is why they feel and sound so insane, threatened, and alienated. Actually, most of what I remember from these fools, wasn't anything about black folks, but was all Anti-Semitic--like those kind of fatuous, crazy white-trash "nationalists," who fly American flags next to swastikas--the two most antithetical ideologies that ever existed.

Some, probably most, is just trolling. My friend back in high school used to say nigger, do the Hitler salute, etc on X-box live as a joke (he's half white,half thai). Yes it is lame, but he was young. I hear the word Nigga more, at least in Oklahoma...I live around a mostly white community here in California and I haven't heard nigger or nigga once.

you're bugging. cornel west is a tom working for the supreme agenda and everybody knows it. he's also TOTALLY mired in cliche. and i talked to angela davis a few years ago and she was defining herself as an atheist lesbian that eschewed the principles of black power/nationalism in favour of her new cause. she told me personally that she was not as interested in her role as a "black" leader anymore. she prefers to be known as an advocate of prisoner rights and likes the term political activist nowadays (her speech was also mired in cliche). can't front on randall though.

Why does Prod being in this regardless of mountain dew surprise anyone. He's just another professional athlete with an agent looking to sell his freetime. I wouldn't put words in Pauls mouth as to what is beneath him.

I had to do a 180 on Forrest. Him getting called out reminded me of those moments in every superhero movie when the villain turns from being a dick to straight up evil. His smile had so much pride in it. I couldn't help but respect him and his choice to be who he wants regardless of it being self destructive and representing every aspect of skateboarding I reject. I'm eager to see if he can stick to his guns and make it. Chances are, yes he can.

Matty will be doing big things.

Mango will grow up and realize he is like a zit. fun for a minute of popping but having it in your face all the time gets ugly. Hopefully his skating will also mature.

Reuben reminds me of someone on Bones or Blind. Really talented and kid friendly.

I'd love to see more footage from the rest.

I should have qualified my "rhetoric" with, "for good or ill," because half of what I have seen and experienced coming up in that treacherous, failed, distraught fucking city, I would just assume forget. Your hoary, old cliche--"i hang out with a lot of black people so i know"--is just yet another example of how black folks are making it so even commiserative whites are being cornered into a position where it is hard to give a fuck, because it is a waste of time.

you're bugging. cornel west is a tom working for the supreme agenda and everybody knows it. he's also TOTALLY mired in cliche. and i talked to angela davis a few years ago and she was defining herself as an atheist lesbian that eschewed the principles of black power/nationalism in favour of her new cause. she told me personally that she was not as interested in her role as a "black" leader anymore. she prefers to be known as an advocate of prisoner rights and likes the term political activist nowadays (her speech was also mired in cliche). can't front on randall though.

also your boys in the D were probably 10percenters.

Now that's a thorough engagement with my comment--I'm flattered. You'll have to forgive me if I don't find anything you said nearly worth any kind of comparable reciprocity.

I recommend Angela Davis' book, Women, Race, and Class, as it will help explain to your simple mind why her focusing on issues far broader than that engineered biological dichotomy (black and white), was infinitely more productive to her brilliant and revolutionary mind. Her Marxism is the best political/social ideology for her to focus on, because it is truly about class, and focusing on that race fallacy is just a myopic waste of one's time.

And Mr. West is a tom...interesting, this coming from "kmltoe." OK, you've convinced me.

I do love how badly many of you get ruffled when someone comes "in here" and doesn't talk about things you dimwits want to talk about--fuck, that one dude wants me banned?...seriously, it's that deep?

Just wanted to point out that a US flag is an object or symbol, and a swastika is a symbol. Neither are ideologies, and I don't think you could convincingly argue that there is a coherent, unified ideology that could be termed "Americanism."

Sorry some of you think I put a lot of time and effort into my posts. They really are just off of the top of my head, and if my "prose and logic [sic]" are a little bit off, I have confidence in criticisms such as the above to help things along.

There are a number of contexts that both of those two flags--and what they symbolize--can be placed within...most, if not all of them, diametrically opposed.

Fuck, even sixpack figured out "what [I was] trying to say."

Obviously, in the "nationalist" context that I originally mentioned, WWI and WWII nemeses--the U.S. versus Germany.
 
And how about the political ideologies to which they are most commonly attributed--representative "democracy" versus fascist totalitarianism.

How about economic ideologies--capitalism versus national socialism (although national socialism could be thought to apply to a wide range of ideologies).

Do I need to go on?

But cheeseburger eddie 412 is right. And his go to tricks are gay, all super trendy ass shit. Especially that backside three. Backside threes are sick as fuck, but I remember clearly ledge skaters not having backside threes as part of their repertoire, more like fakie flips and nollie backside heels. I think wenning throwing that switch backside three in the DC video, but whatever. There was an evolution to the mass popularity of backside threes, so Forrest is unoriginal as shit. What's next a nollie heel noseslide kicking the camera out of the dude's hands. WOW. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Maybe I'm just a random hater, but random skaters adding backside threes to their bag of tricks and they weren't even fucking tranny dudes would just throw me off a little...back in the day.

shit, i wasn't even ruffled, just up for a counterpoint (that you basically validated). and i even qualified it with a personal experience. you basically replied with nothing and said it was because nothing there warranted your energy. whatevs. i gave you a shot. you blew it. i'm over it.

wow, I am not getting involved in  this arguement.
just dropped by to say that I was looking through an old issue of thrasher (james hardy noseblunt cover) and noticed that in ishod's interview there's a photo of him nollie flipping the same brick double set that forrest dropped 3 tricks down. also not to forget reuben;s double flip.

never really seen it skated before so I was just likening the tricks in oiam to an established am.

all ima say about forest is

he wouldnt break no negros' board like that then act like it aint shit

he wouldnt get a free trip, dough, a place to post up at, free proddy, chicken AND drank from some "real niggas" and not get his black ass out there and atleast attempt to get it in, every time they shuttled this ungrateful nigga around somewhere to get his shine on

and lastly

who is he to call people weird..........looking like a shaved midget ewok in some red throwback etnies raps with a bogie in his mouth

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS

and got the nerve to have a attitude



keepin it REAL and sayin dumb shit are two very  different things

i feel him on that fuck tryin to get down with these white boys, im here to rep shit

but

a real nigga would ball the fuck out if put in that position

skateboarders dont make millions actin like that (not negro ones)

this dude gotta learn how to play the game with these white people

even if he doesnt make it in skateboarding

hes not playing chess with them

hes  playing unworldy angry blackboy shitting in the all white pool



what lil niggas dont understand

is that when you are the only negro

you arent just repping yourself, you are repping all of us






*TOO TRILL FOR SLAP ALERT*
......................to many white people and TOBIES reading this so ima cut that short as to not unveil the sacred negro secrets to success...............

skategros and stellar people pm me tho










so




even if you are a DICK

you still gotta be cool with the right people


no one will ever make millions off their skateboarding alone








forest can skate his ass off tho


wish he was REALLY TRYING tho

I recommend Angela Davis' book, Women, Race, and Class, as it will help explain to your simple mind why her focusing on issues far broader than that engineered biological dichotomy (black and white), was infinitely more productive to her brilliant and revolutionary mind. Her Marxism is the best political/social ideology for her to focus on, because it is truly about class, and focusing on that race fallacy is just a myopic waste of one's time.

c'mon son. don't try to repeat what i just explained to you in more words and act like you meant it. you were the one referring to her as a "black leader" with no other qualifiers. I explained to YOU that it was beyond that, and that she was not even into YOUR designation at all nowadays. trying to turn shit around. haha!



The above is all I find relevant enough to continue on with "kmltoe," old sport.

(What's funny, all of these pages later, and the whole race thing began in the first place, because of KrewKluKlan's dizzyingly absurd comment about dude's not calling Forrest a nigger to his face).

My original reference to Angela Davis stated that she is an effectual black leader because of her willingness to take part in open-minded engagement and discourse. She realized long ago that what needs to be done, is far, far bigger than the erroneous racial dichotomy between black and white, and strictly focusing on that, is like running in circles.

As you appear to realize, her views, what she researches, and what she teaches are all firmly rooted in Marxism, and in Marxism the distinction between races and sexes cease to exist or matter (ideally, at least).

Just because she does not designate herself a "black leader," does not mean she isn't one, or for that matter, that she has forsaken black people in her concerns for the world.

Just for one instance, like you stated, she considers herself--among many other things--an advocate for prisoners' rights. Well fuck, despite only being about 13% of this country's population, black folks make up nearly half of all incarcerated prisoners, and--even more fucked up--over half of prisoners awaiting execution...

...thus, whether Ms. Davis claims to be a "black leader" or not, just in this one particular way, she is. She has just chosen not to pigeon hole herself with some bullshit, myopic label.

ethnic. I took a class with Angela Davis when I went to UCSC, I guarantee she'd call your ass a racist. Just because race is socially constructed does not mean it does not exist as a genuine issue within our society, it absolutely does. Claiming that you don't see race and shit like that is actually racist in itself. If you want to get academic on the whole thing, look up critical race theory. Davis was a fucking Panther man.

this thread really sucks now.   as a black guy i don't care about ethnicsong's racism, but i do care that he turns rad threads about skateboarding into giant piles of shit.   on top of that i would wager  a hefty sum that i went to more prestigious schools, speak more languages, have more degrees and got better grades than that idiot.  people who have actually learned things do not go around proving to people on a skateboard message board that they read a book.    even if you put him on ignore you see his shit when it gets quoted.   

the only redeeming quality he may have is that he still may be a 16 year old troll with too much time on his hands.   can we delete the last 7 pages and then discuss the most recent episode again?

back on track.

I just rewatched the episode. It gets so awkward. Mango is acting up the whole time, playing for laughs & not succeeding. John breaks his silence on Forrest & comes off sounding like a bigger prick himself. Whiteley & Forrest's moment was terrible, I felt bad that Forrest had to hear it, but even worse that Whiteley had to say it.

Tomorrow's episode should be sick. I can't wait to see what absolutely ridiculous skating John pulls out on the last day to win it. Because right now, according to my tally, he sits in fourth position, behind Matt who should have been it the bronze spot. Forrest obviously fucking killed it at the big spots; but Reuben skated & destroyed everything, smiling the whole time. First & second should be between those two.

I imagine that had the group skated more big spots & less transition Forrest would have separated himself even further from the pack and locked in the sure win.

Wait.  Before we get back on track I want to ask, who the fuck uses the word "myopic" in two posts on the same day?  Even if the topic of the thread were about vision, and the word wasn't being used figuratively about conjecture, even an optometrist would have thrown out "short-sighted" in a minimum of one of those two statements.  alittleethnicsong, some of the people who visit this forum are also readers; people who engage in a healthy amount of high brow dialogue without your pretentious efforts, and we don't want to come here to watch some aspiring intellectual find his writing voice.  We come here for the ass thread, the things that made you laugh thread, strangefires's moodswings, and occasionally intelligent discussions about skateboarding.  Stop fucking it up, please.
Ok, back on track... daniel is right, that last episode was awkward...

I just can't wait to see the inevitable hilariousness that will unfold on here when the holy trinity finally happens.
Forrest + P-rod + COTG


and while everyone keeps comparing this series to a reality tv show, I wonder if they'll do what seemingly a lot of reality shows have been doing lately.
a spin off/sequel to bring back all the guys that didn't win from previous seasons.
could be pretty good, especially if some of the losers from the earlist seasons fell off and got fat or something.

Post by: alittleethnicsong on January 20, 2011, 05:30:01 AM
ethnic. I took a class with Angela Davis when I went to UCSC, I guarantee she'd call your ass a racist. Just because race is socially constructed does not mean it does not exist as a genuine issue within our society, it absolutely does. Claiming that you don't see race and shit like that is actually racist in itself. If you want to get academic on the whole thing, look up critical race theory. Davis was a fucking Panther man.

You're ridiculous.

If Angela Davis and I actually somehow were to end up in some kind of discourse, we'd end up talking about all of the communist, women labor organizers of the mid-20th century, like Mother Jones, Elizabeth Gurly Flynn, or Lucy Parsons--to which she devotes chapters in Women, Race, and Class--or something like this, because I would not get dragged into some futile discussion about race, and she has obviously moved on to include race in the bigger picture of class.

I didn't say I don't see race. Her "atheistic lesbianism" (per kmltoe) makes perfect sense, because she is a Marxist, and in Marxism (as I stated before, ideally at least) distinctions between races, sexes, ethnicities are supposed to become insignificant--likewise, the spirituality and dogmas of organized religions as well, as Marxism is a purely "materialist" belief system.

But shit, I agree, enough.

All of these pages of racial comments all go back to KrewKruxKlan's fucking absurd comment that all of the rest of the OIAM skaters didn't call Forrest a nigger to his face--implying that they had sat there and called him one when he was not around--because white people don't call black folks, niggers to their faces.

I can't believe only like one other person called him out for that, because that is the most ridiculous fucking comment on all of these pages.


Cool, now, hopefully some kind of mishap surrounding a handshake, or hug can occur again, so dudes can spend 20 pages talking about all of the different aspects of male camaraderie.

Perhaps.

Or, the topic is so fucking volatile and hopelessly mired in the discourse-arresting delusion that "race" in America is strictly a dichotomy between black and white (hence, the absolutely vacuous concept of "reverse racism"), that people let some bullshit like that pass, because they don't have the sand to confront it.

Seems like they pretty much got the top 3 right based on skating alone, well Rueben and Forrest that is.

Matty should have been selected over John. Matty filmed lines, did hard tricks and has a really sick style. I don't remember one sick thing John did besides that hill bomb, but he didn't even ride away from that. Oh yea he bombed another hill and tried to ollie stairs and didn't ride away from that either. Meanwhile Matty rifled off good tricks at almost every spot. So what if he didn't throw himself down anything, neither did john.

Also, what in the flying fuck was Forrest talking about saying Matty doesn't do flip tricks? Or did he mean John but said Matty? That was a little confusing.

The way this episode was edited, everyone ripped. I would hate to have to judge Forrest's style of skating, against John's, because they both are sick, but really different.

Forrest talking about having to change his temperament, was as uncomfortable to watch, as watching J Adams talk about wishing he would have "marketed" himself better, in that Z-Boys documentary. Don't know if he should take Whiteley's advice too to heart.

Yeah, I honestly expected Forest to just shrug off what whitely said, or just become even more of an asshole, but it seemed like he did actually make an effort. Maybe it was just to win, but It seemed like he had done at least some reflecting, which is more than I expected.

Some people just don't get along with others as easy, I think Forest may be that kinda guy. He may not even have been realizing that he was coming off as that much of a dick.

Either way I'm pulling for him to win for some reason. It'd be sick if John won too. Could see him being am for Roger or something. Reuben is prlly gonna be a pro one day no matter what, so who gives an h. Plus having that much facial hair at 16 is kinda weird.

i dont want to list off skaters that we've heard being assholes because most of the stories aren't firsthand, but still, every month theres a new story about a pro and their dickish ways.

My last comment about the uncomfortableness of listening to Forrest talk about how he needed to change, being comparable to that of J Adams saying he wishes he would have marketed himself better, just meant that that is obviously not essentially him saying these things, and it comes across strongly that it is awkward for him to say these things.

I don't really like how Forrest has come off in these episodes, but for him to do a total about-face is kind of weird--at best, I guess just simple logical pragmatism in doing what he thinks he needs to do (aside from ripping, as he undoubtedly has) to satisfy those who will decide if he wins.

It's pretty cool that Forrest is taking Mark's advice and not brushing it off like I would have expected him to. His tricks over the hip were really sick, too. Also, whoever said that Jon can't flip his board can suck it.
tricks over a hip don't count.

 the main reason those dudes didn't like forrest because they were insecure. someone who's super good at something and knows it, will make you reevaluate your abilities. and instead of people saying "oh, i need to step my game up" they get mad at him for not downplaying how good he is.

I doubt forrest gives a shit and you shouldn't either.If anything he will probably get hooked up because of all this publicity.
forrest already is hooked up you don't really have to worry about that & i never was, the only thing i was complaining about is the way shit is set up nowadays. it used to be like whoever skated the contest the best wins & gets a bunch of shit & then like 5 years down the line you hear the guy is pro. it didn't matter then who was a dick or who wasn't, so why should it now? you can say alot of people's personalitys ruined their careers but, that is because they were assholes to everyone.. not just tms & fellow riders but, even what was left of their 'fans'... forrest is not like this at all.... the critique is all coming from a bunch of internet goons that don't even go outside & skate anymore... what makes you think you guys are the one's who judge who comes up & who doesn't? i mean, ofcourse everyone is entitled to their own opinions but, you guys abuse the fuck out of that ability by trying to form some kind of "fuck forrest" cult like you do to everyone else you don't like... & you all know that half the people that are regulars on this website are just little home-school kids getting brainwashed into your photoshops & big words that you had to look up like 8 times while talking shit to someone.... as sheff master said.. you guys are fuckin STOOOOOOPs.

& it's also hillarios how some guy says "oh yeah there's no way forrest would have gotten his trick at clipper after rueben got his trick because he couldn't get hyped off of rueben".....? & then another clone says "oh yeah theres no way forrest would of done his trick if rueben didn't get his?" just shows how fucking dumb you guys really are & that you will make anything up in your head just to make someone else sound like an asshole.

a true hater keeps talking shit about someone long after the fact and manages to brings up their hatred whether the opportunity present itself or not.  thats a true to life hater.   
if someone rubs you the wrong way and you don't like them, that doesn't make you a hater because honestly, you can't expect to like everyone or vice versa.

I think the Forest attitude adjustment could be explained by the theory that he is fencepost-stupid and oblivious because of it. Some guys like that aren't self-aware enough to realize how they're acting and treating others.

This was proposed way the fuck back in the thread, and I'm not going to bother going back and trying to quote someone, but anyhow... that could explain his about-face.

Now I sort of feel sorry for the guy. The midnight snack comment paired with the mean mug was a bit creepy though.

I do feel like if this attitude adjustment was done earlier in the contest, Forrest would have probably been more inclined to win. And I am not saying Forrest should have changed just to be nice, but he should have played the game and won the judges over so he could win the sponsorships and whatever else Slap is giving the winner. It would have been a big step into becoming a legit AM or even pro, which is what he want to become.

That last episode kinda made me feel bad for forrest. ? He should definitly win the contest. ? His skating was sick and everything he said was funny as hell.

I knew it, Forrest is a nice guy. He just went into a competition thinking super competitively.

And he speaks his mind which can rub people the wrong way when you first meet someone.
this, too.

 I don't know man. Cockiness and confidence are not the same thing. Confidence doesn't hype itself up the way he did, and confident people respect others around them, he was classically cocky.

Paul Rodriguez's opinion of skateboarding is the exact opposite of COTG's.
Forrest came out well in the end. I like the redemption aspect to this year's story. The buying ice cream touch was nice.
Honestly, I think Forrest probably has been kind of cursed with dickriders surrounding him too much. If you are good like forrest you can be a total prick to everybody, and you'll still make a few friends who think you are the shit for being so good, and in turn encourage you to be even cockier, because they will act like you are awesome no matter how you act or what you do (example: that dude "shouldn't")

also, John did plenty of other shit throughout the contest. He was the only one to skate the fence bar thing at the ditch on treasure island and got a 5-0 to fakie on it, also at that spot he got the 180 fakie 5-0 frontside cab out, which was sick, �he was ripping the hardest at all the tranny spots, he fakie ollied that 12 stair, and a lot of it was done with staples in his head. He also was skated pretty fucking fast the whole time.
Not saying he is a clear far and away winner- Forrest and Reuben killed it for sure

It's actually exactly the same. notice when he said you can do handstands all day, he said but people might not think you're awesome. I believe you should skate exactly how you want, but if you're not amazing, you shouldn't be sponsored.

When they asked jon about staples i thought they meant staples center adn i was like "they went to staples center and got tricks! sick!" but then i realized his stupid head thing.



if you look at that whole contest though, the only person who if i heard put out a new part id watch is forrest. although that was wack all that christian shit he said.

ya whenever anyone ever feels like there back is against the wall they're always like "god this" and "god that". fuck that. forest was a douche, had he lightened up a few days before the finals, i'd be like okay he deserves. but its almost as if he was like "okay forest, throw some god bullshit in there, maybe cry a bit, buy some ice cream and i got this shit in the bag". fuck that

 john is rad and all but theres so much emphasis on the fucking hill bomb and his staples. get over it, having staples in ur head doesnt make a difference, even if he took another head slam its not like he would die, hed just have to get it restitched up at worse or have a concussion or something, which can happen to any of them. its not like he has a broken arm with no cast and is just being reckless, the level of danger going from no staples to staples in ur head with no head fracture/concussion is nothing that deserves that much recognition.

 this Ronald Wilson Reagan guy always brings up this staples/hillbomb in every post like hes some superman for skating with it. only gnarlyness about it is saying "bro i got 10 staples in my head im still skating", but if you look at it from a real perspective hes not putting himself in any more danger because of it.

how is that going to affect your skating? unless you're sheckler and doing backslide flips all day, there's like a one in a million chance that you're going to hit your head. Like i said before him having staples in his shin, or a broken wrist or something would make it way gnarlier, than him having staples in a place there's barely a chance it's going to get hit.

yeah based on john's footage, he seems like he's really good, but damn, he was very unimpressive all week. the only trick i liked that he did at prod's park was the back nosegrind revert on the hubba. so basically what i'm saying is that-- based on his video-- since john won and is now on flow for some company, i could see him putting out some good shit in the future, BUT based on the shit done at the contest, john shouldn't even have been in the top 3.
 
forrest was giving people props throughout the week, john is still bitter that forrest left him hanging.

A few Things...

That was a Full Cab Heel that John did, not Nollie (not that im taking anything away from it, its still sick. I just saw like 3 people say it was Nollie)

Also, everyone is acting like they personally know these people based on like an accumulated hour worth of video. Just because they did/didn't do certain tricks in this doesn't mean that they cant. and just because they where portrayed a certain way in a 6 minute web clip doesnt mean that you know these people. and they also spent an entire week with each other from the time they woke up to the time they went to sleep, so if they have an opinion about one another and someone bitches about it, I am sure that they would know a little more then some random kid on slap that watched a couple web clips. Idk, it just kinda gets under my skin the way that everyone talks like they really know any of these kids (or pretty much anyone in skateboarding) when in reality all you did was watch a few webclips. Theres people that ive been around several times and I still wouldnt talk like that about them because I dont really know them besides what ive seen a few times, for all you all know these kids are absolutely nothing like they where portrayed in these videos.  I mean, have your opinion or whatever, thats fine but it gets rediculous when people are like "No, so and so is a dick rider and cant do this trick and blah blah blah" when really you know nothing about these people.

And I keep seeing "i hope ____ wins" or like "_____ should win" ect...Does everyone not already know that John won?

I just did some hard lurking and found the wall posts you were talking about BUT I have a hard time believing John won as I can't think of anything memorable from him except the hill bomb to head staple. If Forrest doesn't win I would expect Reuben to win.  I wouldn't be surprised if Forrest was lying to everyone to make the last episode more interesting for everyone.

Not saying it would or wouldn't make it harder to skate. My post was a response to LemonParty making it sound like he just got a little cut on his head when it was more serious than that and actually, probably pretty lucky that John didn't get a fracture or a concussion.

i think reuben should have won it, hes got a great style, good tricks, hits prety much all the spots they went to and looks like hes having a good time and is really hyped on the whole thing.

My favourite moment from him was when forrest was saying he wanted to go to clipper all day to do a certain trick, then they went and reuben was watching and chillin then gets told he should hit up the spot and does a great trick with true steeze without hesitation. That flip5-0 was just so nice.

For me skating is more about the attitude and style then the tricks bieng done.

anyone saying forest shouldve won is crazy, sure hes got nice go to tricks down sets and gaps but his line at 3rd and army looked so nasty, hes just a hucker not an all rounder.

First time watching a OIAM

just watched episode 1-17 all at once, very sick

Anyone else feel Reuben will make it regardless of whether he wins/won or not? The kids only 16 and has such a gnarly style and a great attitude, seems like he would mesh well with a lot of teams

Best all around skater was John no question, seems like the contest was being based off being diverse and skating various stuff as opposed to just being specific to ledges/rails/stairs sort of thing. I dont think Forrests attitude played too big of a role to him not winning or not, he didnt skate a lot of spots, John hit everything. Forrests tricks at the double set were so sick, same with that switch back heel, and those random clips of him skating the park where they met at the beginning, nollie heel front crook and some other crazy stuff. Looked like Forrest was genuinely trying to make it up to those dudes, as someone mentioned earlier, he was taking this super competitively.

Regardless it was an awesome show, glad they got an eclectic group of dudes to skate, Mango, Reuben, Forrest etc.

"imo" you are fatuous.

Everyone you know can do tre flips on street, nobody you know can do them on tranny, let alone over the lip on vert--that applies to the vast majority of "street" tricks.

Everyone you know can do front-boards and tail-slides on flat bars and ledges, few if anybody you know can do proper ones in a real pool.

How many people do you know who can do egg-plants on vert?

That video of John on the last page is straight big, fast, power, and gnarly tricks at gnarly spots--and dude can skate tranny, where I was impressed to see that Forrest could even axle-stall.

I see your point, and the politics of being "considered amazing" is different for both street and tranny. But skaters like Grant Taylor aren't really "vert skaters," in the traditional sense--like a fully-padded Tony Hawk, in 1985 or now--and obviously, that's the last thing Taylor would want.

He's like Cardiel, Trujillo, McCrank, Hewitt, etc.--no pads, and skating whatever you bring him to.

Everyone you know can do front-boards and tail-slides on flat bars and ledges, few if anybody you know can do proper ones in a real pool.

How many people do you know who can do egg-plants on vert?

That video of John on the last page is straight big, fast, power, and gnarly tricks at gnarly spots--and dude can skate tranny, where I was impressed to see that Forrest could even axle-stall.




that was regular. you have no idea who i know. and i can do tailslides on tranny and street. tranny is easier. and who the fuck skates vert? kind of sounds like you arent very good at either.

And isn't Grant Taylor like Dylan Reider in some aspect? Didn't he start out just skating street and rails and then got good at transition afterwords?

This was the first footage I have ever seen from the him back from the first Nike video.

How does 50-50ing some of the most regular rails in the fucking world make you mediocre at street? He makes hard to skate street spots his bitch. I understand that your idea of street skating is flipping your board in and out of a flat ledge salsa dance combo, but how can you deny the shit he does? Ledges and handrails aren't the only facets of street skating.
And as for his transition skating: Tony hawk is fucking amazing on VERT, yes. But if you watch the DETAILS, the way Grant Taylor carries himself and handles concrete terrain, you might realize how much repetition and natural skill it takes to be that comfortable and gnarly in that respect. Doing a padded 540 on vert is completely different than gap to frontside grinding, say... a 17 foot concrete vert wall.

The first footage I've seen of him was in Thrasher's Time Bomb video. It was in one of the montages. It looks like he's about 8 years old and is wearing full pads at some skatepark. He's got two tricks. He jumps off a railing on to his board into a roll in, and he also does a tweaked indy transfer over some bmx jump. His dad was an 80's pro right? I'd venture to guess he was going to the skatepark at a real young age, plus he's got a pool in his back yard. I bet he got good at tranny first.

Again, this is more of an exception to the rule, but it's one of the defining spots in BR... it's been around for ages, too- I remember hitting it over two decades ago, still fun as shit.

In all seriousness, if you honestly believe this and aren't just talking out of your ass for a reaction, than you are undoubtedly and officially regular in every sense of the word.

There is no way that someone that has eyeballs and a brain can genuinely think this and if you do then I honestly feel bad for you because you are completely pathetic at thinking.

Even admitting that we've only seen brief glimpses of people's personalities in the footage - doesn't Gonzo stand as the example that you can be the quiet dude who throws some sick tricks around without coming off as a giant asshole? That's what I don't really get about people defending Forrest. Guy just seemed like he was a constant negative presence instead of just keeping to himself around the 'weird' dudes he didn't gel with. And I agree with the people saying Mango isn't funny in the footage, but I'm sure when he's not being super strange in front of the camera he's at least a fun guy to skate with.

I agree, I understand dude had staples in his head and all but he really did not push himself once. I mean neither did Nick but he was injured also. I didn't like Forrest or Rueben but they were the only guys that really pushed themselves and did tricks that were on the level of am's/pros. I have to say I liked Jon's style the best and even in the OIAM tapes I liked his stuff the best but I still didn't see him winning.

I'd like to see an edit of everything and I'm disappointed it wasn't included in this video. At least the top 3 guys footage.

Overall though.......a great contest/show. I think I only watched one episode of last year whereas I watched literally every episode at least twice this year. This is going to set the bar and I am assuming tons of people will try out for next year.

I am telling you Whitely....spinoff show for Forrest. I mean even in the last episode, it was all about him even with the winner announced. You're sitting on a gold mine dude and you can literally make this dude into a reality star.

he didn't get staples by pushing himself? he got them from bombing a hill into nothingness. doing the same tricks the whole contest on different tranny is also what made him win.. not actually doing professional-status shit like forrest & rueben did. oh well, expected him to win from the begining just by the way this shit's judged. not like forrest or rueben aren't going somewhere in skateboarding. forrest is flow for toy, krew & supra now anyways.... guess he just needed that attitude change ? ::) stooooooooooooooooooops. i will say matty had the best style by far & skated way better then john? should have been in the top 3 instead of john. & it seemed like the reason they talked about forrest so much & showed his footage in this last episode is to say "yes, he should have won.. but here at slap, we judge by hearts & head wounds.... oh & stalefish & crailside can't forget those......"

Post by: bandini on January 24, 2011, 10:58:49 AM
I have to say, I watched every episode and the stuff that really sticks in my mind from the whole thing is:

1) Forest's assault on the doubleset
2) Matty's line at 3rd and Army
3) Ruben and Forest's tricks at Clipper
4) Mango's 5050 to nose manual
5) John's hillbomb to faceplant

It's probably just me with a bad memory or whatever, but - aside from what seemed like a very poor choice of hill to bomb - I can't really bring to mind much else of John's skating. The dude's obviously a great skater - they all are - but in terms of who was most memorable, I don't think he'd have been my pick.

Good entertainment all around, though, for sure.

"You finally won my respect". Shut the fuck up you weird looking skinny ass bitch. If any of Johns friends are lurking (assuming he has any) tell him to go fuck himself for me.

Where does that guy get the fucking nerve to say some arrogant ass shit like that? He only spoke up because Whitely had called Forrest out. Like I said before, this dude is about as marketable as hemorrhoid cream to kids, Forrest will have the last laugh when he ends up with a real sponsor and John gets booted from his flowship in a year from now.

I don't really give a shit about John. He's good but so was everybody else at that contest. He definitely seemed to get more opinionated in his interviews towards the end. Same with Forrest starting to let his guard down at the end. I personally think Reuben and Forrest won it, but they have enough to carry them on without winning this contest. John just seems like there's one of him in every town. I could be wrong about that.

Gonzo was sick but I doubt we'll see him again.

I'd like to see an edit of everything and I'm disappointed it wasn't included in this video. At least the top 3 guys footage.
[close]
So you understand he had staples in his head, but don't think he pushed himself? How do you think he got those staples? The crailslide at the flowershop was also pro level, same with a bunch of the shit he did.


Its funny though, because I see that John won, but they sure are talking like Forrest did. More talk about him than john even.

This year was better overall, but the surprise end last year with the session with Jamie at Blackbox was a way sicker reveal. This one was kind of anticlimactic in that sense.
[close]
he didn't get staples by pushing himself? he got them from bombing a hill into nothingness. doing the same tricks the whole contest on different tranny is also what made him win.. not actually doing professional-status shit like forrest & rueben did. oh well, expected him to win from the begining just by the way this shit's judged. not like forrest or rueben aren't going somewhere in skateboarding. forrest is flow for toy, krew & supra now anyways.... guess he just needed that attitude change ??�::) stooooooooooooooooooops. i will say matty had the best style by far & skated way better then john? should have been in the top 3 instead of john. & it seemed like the reason they talked about forrest so much & showed his footage in this last episode is to say "yes, he should have won.. but here at slap, we judge by hearts & head wounds.... oh & stalefish & crailside can't forget those......"

Do you need a kleenex, or are you done crying like a bitch like you have been the whole time?

i think you're just mad because it's been made quite obvious that your boy-toy is a piece of shit.
I think you are projecting. The thing is, I have actually talked well about all of the guys, including Forrest, pointing out how good he is, and how its cool that he seemed to learn humility in this contest. YOU are the one holding a shit fit, and I wanted to point out what a piece of shit sore loser you are. This isn't about Forrest being cool or not, or John deserving it or not, just about what a stupid, negative, ungracious, pile of shit you are.
Oh, and if you want to get into it, the only thing that has been "made obvious" is that the dude who I thought was ripping won, and your friend/idol/prostate masseuse lost.

That was cool, Forrest was layin down the tricks in ep 17, it was cool to see any of them win. Forrest is cool and shit but he needs to learn that we all have bad days and to go introverted and think that you're different from the rest of the people who skate will make you more akward, everybody has bad days and shit. john just seemed more humble, in some of the last episodes I can clearly see that forrest was a bit choked up, untill his name was called...

matty should've won

I can see how he didn't contest-wise, but there's no doubt we'll be seeing more of him. I enjoyed watching all those cats, but everything Matty did especially stood out for me.

Having said that, if Forest had been like he was in the last two episodes, he would have won. Part of this really is a personality contest... once he started being more sociable I got bummed that he hadn't been more like that from the start. Anyway, if he ever wanted a fresh fruit and I happened to have one, I would give it to him.

Is there more footage to come?  Should be a montage part of the whole week from all the heads, then separate parts of the top three.  I felt like the last day would make a mini part for the winner?

I Really enjoyed the whole thing anyway thanks!

Post by: whiteley on January 24, 2011, 12:27:03 PM
hey everybody,
sorry to have gone MIA for the last stretch. had to take some time off to tend to some family matters.
anyhow, i haven't read over the last 20 pages of comments yet, but thought i'd interject a few comments as general contest follow-up...

we chose john as the winner because to us, as the founders of the contest and with our taste and take on everything, he had the best mixture of talent, attitude, and it seemed like this was his time more so than with some of the other guys. reuben, being only 16, has plenty of time to mature and gain more experience and will undoubtedly do something in skateboarding if he focuses on it. forrest is in the right window of time as well, but it was his attitude through most of the week that made him hard to pick. he's obviously super talented at what he chooses to skate, but probably has some personal growth to do before companies will want to put a real investment into him. i do think that he's on his way with that, though, and hope that this experience has been a positive one for him. he and i had a really long one-on-one talk off camera before the finals day, and i think he got a much better sense of how things had been for everybody around him during the week. after that he did seem to try to make some changes, as you saw in the episodes, so i think it'll work out for him in the end. i hope it does.

as for sponsor stuff, john has chosen to work with zero for his board sponsor, and jamie thomas is really excited about it. there's been some talk about an ad for him possibly, as well as footage in the next zero vid. he's hard at work on his follow-up interview, which will be a video part, some photos, and an written interview. that should be happening before too long, maybe about six weeks out. i have also offered forrest a follow-up interview as well, which he has accepted, so watch for that in coming months as well.
so yeah, john is hooked up with zero and several of the other sponsors of the contest. some of the other guys are coming out of the contest in a good spot, too-- enjoi contacted me about reuben, and they are working on getting him set up on their flow program. matty has been in touch with deluxe and will be getting flow from them. selfish actually did contact me about forrest, and i passed that along to him, but he wasn't interested in pursuing it. with how good he is and all the exposure he gained from the contest, i'm sure something good will happen for him before too long.

all in all, this year was a huge leap ahead for OIAM and we're stoked that it got so much attention. everybody involved brought a lot to the total experience, and you guys on the forum and following the contest really helped get the fires burning. between all the episodes, we're going to end up with well over a million views for the contest this year, which is pretty big.

in coming weeks and months there will be more follow-up on the contest, so keep you eyes peeled. also, there's the next round of OIAM...

we're bumping the schedule of it up a bit this year, so the call for entries will be happening sooner than usual. we are also looking at changing the location, possibly to NYC. with those changes and how much heat this year's contest generated, the next one might be even bigger, so if you want to enter or know somebody who might, start getting ready soon!

Im down for the way this turned out, Whiteley made a very good point on the final decision. It wasn't in Slaps best interest to just hand over some kid who is going to make them look shitty with a crap attitude. Forrest is obviously the best skater out of the group, but isnt well rounded and has some personal growth to get over before he becomes the straight freak we now he is.

Forrest on Toy is weird to me. I say turf Moose or Furby and throw Forrest on Deathwish. Reuben fits Enjoi well and Jon is sick and I think he fits Zero perfect. Zero isn't really that hesh rail company to me anymore. It feels more like an all around straight to the point skateboard company now more than ever. Especially after hooking up a Keegan pro model.

First Off: Thanks to Slap for keeping me entertained. This is the first OIAM I've followed and looking forward to the next.

Seems like they gave John the sympathy vote...yes he ripped but doesn't really keep up with Forrest and Rueben. Unfortunately I don't see him making a lasting impression on the skateboarding industry, but you never know. It's obvious that Forrest is the most talented and talked about skater of the group and will most likely leave the biggest impact on skateboarding (especially with his new attitude adjustment). For those of you who followed the previous OIAM, did attitude play such a big role in winners?

Really though, anyone could have won, and it would have made sense. A bunch of unique styles and skating are almost impossible to judge against each other--especially when they are as diverse as these dudes were.

With regards to each skaters' own unique awkwardness, in the "lifestyle" clips, I think that that is almost unavoidable with that whole camera in the face thing going on. People who love to live with their mugs in front of a camera, are just fucking weird.

Forrest got ripped off.  I've got nothing but respect for Whitely, but that guy was the best skater in the show.  Not everyone's nice and down or able to skate anything, and the fact that he took his criticism to heart was pretty unexpected for me, made me respect him and go from hoping he wouldn't win to cheering for him.

I would have bet that two of the finalists were going to be Reuben and Forrest.  I also thought the last spot was a toss-up, and that whoever got it had no chance of winning.  I wouldn't have been too disappointed if Reuben had won, he held it down, but the third guy taking it didn't even cross my mind.

John got the high sticker - that and the frontside boardslide on the sketchy rail at the Morrisey church - but besides that he didn't get anything memorable for me (and bombing a hill into a building isn't a gnarly trick, it's just stupid).  Reuben got his with the ollie at Quimby and the kf 5-0, gnarly stuff, and I was stoked on his skating.  But I was more into Forrest than Reuben.

Not only did Forrest kill it the hardest at that double set with the bigflip, back 360 and switch tre, but Reuben skated it too and only got a double flip.  And at the stairs in Oakland John got a fakie ollie; Forrest dropped a switch backside heel, which is a lot burlier by me.  And personally I think that out of the two tricks at Clipper the three flip grind was more gnar.  To me when it came to spots he skated Forrest ran the shit.

And Forrest had a bad tape?  Are you kidding me?  He did tricks I wouldn't be surprised to see pros do - Kickflip 360 down a big set, bigflip and back three a gap Trapasso switch flipped and switch heeled, and nollie front crook Hollywood High.  The only entry I was more stoked on was Stain's.

All I gotta say is that I want to see what Forrest does in the future; he killed it.  The other guys might be more well-rounded, but Mr. Edwards is raw.  Yeah that was long and a rant, but whatever.

It'd be a lot easier to say he got ripped off if he didn't sit out at half of the spots. I mean, I agree that the decision's a little iffy to give it to John but you can see how consistent skating and good vibes at all the spots can win out over slaying at some spots and then putting a total damper on the session at the others. Whiteley made it pretty clear that they're all going places if they work for it so it doesn't really matter all that much in the end anyway.

No one got ripped off, their all good.  What Whiteley said makes sense, Reuben is young and will have his time, Forrest was being a baglicker. Jon ripped and had the best entry tape imo, but they were all close.  Its impossible to say who is the best skater, they are all very different.

If Forrest would have manned up and skated every spot, not been such a douche to everyone and thought before he spoke he would have won, his street stuff was hands down the gnarliest. Skateboarding's past is line with dudes who thought they where to cool to skate and to cool to be nice to other people and they ended up not going anywhere or riding for some 3rd rate sponsors and having people make threads on Slap asking whatever happened to them....
John skated everything, even with staples in his fucking head (that ollie he did before the hill bomb was fucking bonkers), he didn't complain about spots and just ripped the whole time, he deserved to win. So many of you have a man crush on Forrest that you are not taking into account the big picture.

John definitily shouldn't have won. If someone else but forrest was gonna get it, it should have been matty hunt.

forrest is just the product of today's skate culture, and i think he should have won.

nevertheless, it was entertaining... hope to see more of all of them.

Hahaha kids still saying Jon got the "sympathy vote" even after what Whiteley said. God damn you kids are thick as fuck. There is no "sympathy vote," you dumbasses. As Whiteley said, he got the win because Whiteley felt that he skated the best and had the best attitude.
I definitely thought Reuben deserved to win, he just did the best stuff at the most places and will get less over the top with his niceness as he gets older. Jon was better on the tranny but Reuben's skating still outweighed it. Forrest skated like a third of the spots and acts like an idiot, if any of you thought he was actually going to win, you aren't too perceptive. Turning down Selfish makes me like him slightly more, but I hope he's not really on Toy. Reuben should've won but oh well. Jon did damn well and everyone crying about it should remember this:

Whiteley's opinion: decided the contest, your opinion: nothing.

 Rueben didnt win cause clearly he doesnt need to, hes super talented and has the attitude that alot of companies want promoted, think people mentioned the same thing when Tom Asta was in the comp and didnt win it.

 Forest didnt win cause his attitude wasnt gonna get him anywhere unless he changed it. Winning it wouldnt have changed it and it woulda been a waste of a win. I think Whitely did him a big favour by not giving the win to him. hes alot more likely to make it somewhere now than he would have been had he not changed his attitude and won it.

 Then winner should be either matty or john, probably a tossup, depends on who you talk to, either one is fine with me. Clearly rueben/forest put out the best/most footy that makes them deserve the win. Matty/John both put out a good amount of solid tricks but not nearly as much as rueben/forest. We werent there in person, so its hard to judge between those two.

 At first i was on the "this is a skate comp not a attitude comp" shit and thought it should be def forest to win. But realistically this comp is out there to promote skaters who dont have any sponsors. Key word here is promotion, which is the only reason skate sponsorship even exists. If this was best run at tampa flow then yeah, forest wins, but best mix of skating/attitude that companies are looking for? Makes sense that John won.

you're obviously the one who cares the most about the contest, i don't see why mark didn't choose you. & i don't really know how tom could be filming for a video that already came out.......but okay? it's not like forrest is my bestfriend or even close friend, he's someone that i've met more then once & know in my own opinion that he's a genuinely nice person, i knew from the start that he would be taken the wrong way but, you are the one throwing fits. i'm just pointing out the way shit is. before the double set day footage dropped & you guys were all still saying his footage that he sent in was even lame... i was only pointing out the obvious that you are all agreeing to now... he is lightyears ahead of everyone else in the contest by talent, ofcourse he's going to get taken the wrong way, he's the subject matter. it's the same as everyone saying heath & leo are assholes, because they are in the spotlight. i don't take any of this personaly i just point out things that are obvious & then people like you cry about it because they can't except what's in front of their faces.

dude, seriously, shut the fuck up already. your like a shitty, broken record

Reuben on enjoi is awesome because he is not the dude everybody else predicted would end up getting on. Makes sense though, ollied the double set and impressed Barletta and simultaneous left a good impression on him attitudewise. Its actually really rad, because the whole session and scene that led up to him getting sponsored was caught on film.

i tried so hard to stay out of this. i really did...
the contest is over and nothing can change what happened.
this is for the gipper especially.

easily 75% of this thread is dedicated to talking about
forrest and his attitude.

then there is this thread about peabody and sean:
http://www.slapmagazine.com/component/option,com_jfusion/Itemid,4/index.php?topic=50134.0 (http://www.slapmagazine.com/component/option,com_jfusion/Itemid,4/index.php?topic=50134.0)

give me a break. i'm never seen such blatant hypocrisy in my life.
you've (not just you gipper) talked left and right about how forrest didn't deserve to win or whatever
because of his attitude but it doesn't matter if peabody or sean do it.

These guys are both so fucking good and awesome to watch skate, but GOD DAMN they are fucking assholes. You think Forrest Edwards is bad....
yeah, that' pretty true. Tnt included.

lot's of 'cool guys' in SF, but no denying these goons fucking kill it.

They just got that "cool guy" attitude that is really annoying. I've heard second hand stories of Peabody being with a crew of people who were all about to go out to a bar and having little baby fits about not wanting to go out if some guy or another was with them, but I've never personally experienced that.
I've seen Trujillo talk shit to random kids around the park who weren't even skating or trying to talk to him. He seemed wasted, but still, the actions you take when you are drunk still have consequences.
I still stand by my opinion that that dude Pablo is the raddest of the crocker kids though.

Who cares if they're assholes, they're not getting paid to be your friend. Not everyone is Karl Watson. What do you want to talk to them for anyways? So that you feel like you made a connection with someone "important"? Just leave them alone and let them skate. I don't know any of them, so I don't know if they're good people or shitheads or what, but I do know that they are people. They're not magic. They're just some random dudes who happen to be pretty good at the ol' shred stickery. Whatever.


its fucking petty to rip so hard on forrest for the same shit a million other people in skating do.
its not just skating either so get over it or hold everyone equally accountable. don't be a
hypocrite.

I don't get it. How did I support that? I talked multiple times about how they were assholes too- having cool guy attitudes, Peabody refusing to go out to bars with people he didn't know well, getting drunk and acting like assholes to kids at the park. Its actually in the proof you presented.
I talked about Forrest being an asshole, I talked about those guys being assholes. I never said not to watch any of them skate, and I didn't advocate them winning any contests.

treat the industry like one in a million and people like peabody and sean

Im down for the way this turned out, Whiteley made a very good point on the final decision. It wasn't in Slaps best interest to just hand over some kid who is going to make them look shitty with a crap attitude. Forrest is obviously the best skater out of the group, but isnt well rounded and has some personal growth to get over before he becomes the straight freak we now he is.

Forrest on Toy is weird to me. I say turf Moose or Furby and throw Forrest on Deathwish. Reuben fits Enjoi well and Jon is sick and I think he fits Zero perfect. Zero isn't really that hesh rail company to me anymore. It feels more like an all around straight to the point skateboard company now more than ever. Especially after hooking up a Keegan pro model.

the fact of the matter is you and everyone else knows that there are
people with bad attitudes who have achieved some level of recognition,
success, notoriety, etc... forrest isn't the first and certainly won't be the last.
the reason i bring any of this up is because its ridiculous to say he didn't
deserve to win a contest which is judged or actually SHOULD HAVE been
judged based on his skateboarding.

you aren't going to make a thread about some dudes skating potrero,
whose title basically suggested anyone who watches it should cower
in the shadow of their ability, yet exclude the fact that they can
be scumbags who think because of their skating they are entitled
to some kind of proverbial throne which happens to placed on top of the
hill at potrero.

i don't want to go on arguing this forever because it can easily go that route
but for someone who has lived in san francisco or california and seen first
hand people in the industry, you of all people should know that a person's
attitude doesn't always matter. if anything it rarely matters.
skaters can be completely fucking full of themselves and have an army of followers.
prime example: your thread dedicated to the guys skating potrero.

don't attack some random fucking dude in a contest when there are way worse
perpetrators of the "bad attitude" approach. its just petty.
the kid rips, end of story. if his attitude is so bad then he wont make anything happen

the skate industry, more than ever before, has always based sponsorship on skating AND attitude/personality. you dont get on girl by having koston skills but trapasso attitude, no matter what. This contest, if it was just the first 2 stages of it , ie you send in your videos, the best dudes get chosen, then yes, that means forrest should win. but by having them in sf for a week, and a rare direct flow opportunity where whiteley puts you in contact with the owners, it is no longer just about skating. or think about it this way, slap brought them there, and just like soty is SOOO subjective but taken as fact amongst us, even if it was just about skating, whiteley should get to pick the kid that didnt piss him off all week.

what i'm saying is if forrest's "bad" attitude matters so much as to why you
practically refuse to acknowledge his performance in the competition, then
treat the industry like one in a million and people like peabody and sean
shouldn't get awarded either.

you can't say its arbitrary that they are asshole because they rip potrero
and then turn around and say forrest didn't deserve to win because
he was an asshole. it doesn't make any sense.
[close]
Again, I didn't say those dudes deserve anything, I'm not sure what their assholeness would be arbitrary in relation to.
[close]

come on man. don't play semantics with me. you're smarter than that.
i can pull example after example until i move away from my original
point which will lead to you attacking all of the arguments that are only
presented as support. why don't we skip that whole ordeal?

the fact of the matter is you and everyone else knows that there are
people with bad attitudes who have achieved some level of recognition,
success, notoriety, etc... forrest isn't the first and certainly won't be the last.
the reason i bring any of this up is because its ridiculous to say he didn't
deserve to win a contest which is judged or actually SHOULD HAVE been
judged based on his skateboarding.

you aren't going to make a thread about some dudes skating potrero,
whose title basically suggested anyone who watches it should cower
in the shadow of their ability, yet exclude the fact that they can
be scumbags who think because of their skating they are entitled
to some kind of proverbial throne which happens to placed on top of the
hill at potrero.

i don't want to go on arguing this forever because it can easily go that route
but for someone who has lived in san francisco or california and seen first
hand people in the industry, you of all people should know that a person's
attitude doesn't always matter. if anything it rarely matters.
skaters can be completely fucking full of themselves and have an army of followers.
prime example: your thread dedicated to the guys skating potrero.

don't attack some random fucking dude in a contest when there are way worse
perpetrators of the "bad attitude" approach. its just petty.
the kid rips, end of story. if his attitude is so bad then he wont make anything happen
and that will be the end of it but does it mean he didn't deserve to win the contest.
in my very very very humble opinion (which i reserved for weeks) absolutely not.

If this contest was based purely on skating, John shouldn't have even been in the top 3. Matty got ripped off he shoulda been in Johns place.

But Rueben and Forrest really stood out the most throughout the whole thing, it's messed up to me that either of those guys didn't win. But considering how vauge the parameters in this contest are I'm not suprised how it turned out. Either way Rueben and Forrest got lots of great exposure and I'm sure they will do just fine.

i'm way late to this thread but i think that forest should have won. i find rubens nice guy ass kissing more annoying than forest who was basically just keeping it real. unfortunately for him, real is an arrogant, asshole but that was just as awkward and contrived as his cigarette photo thing. the guy was humbled in the end, played the game he was told he needed to and then still wasn't judge fairly. if anyone beat forest it would have to be on style and i don't see that john's style is that much better than forests. that kid crushed every spot he skated and for every spot that he sat out that everyone else skate there were spots that he skated completely by himself because there literally wasn't a single other person who could do a real trick on them. add to that the fact he was most interesting thing about this season and the guy should have take it.

but whatever, i think overall it was done really well and the top 3 is who i think should have been there. ruben kickflip 5 0 hubba was definitely a pro calibur trick, john was gnarly, well rounded, creative and forest was the straight hammer skater.

i thought forrest was going to cry but hey, at least now he knows(as well as every kid thats watched this) that a cocky jock-like attitude is just not welcome in skateboarding.  
so many kids think that skating is some sort of competition.  i mean to some degree it is but you're only competing with your board and yourself, no one else.  the sooner people realize this, the more fun it becomes for you and everyone around you.

I suppose you could chalk it up to personal preference, but throughout that week the only thing I found memorable from John was bombing that hill and eathing shit, then bombing that other hill trying to ollie that set and not landing it. Sure he gets points for that stuff, but to win from it is a bit much.

skating with staples in your head is kinda ballsy though. it makes the chance of hitting your head again that much more dangerous.
it was a gnarly risk when john skated with them, and it was also a gnarly risk when you, sir nocomply, skated with them.
I see it as dangerous as skating vert without pads.
(and before someone replies me that tons of people skate huge tranny without pads, I know dumbass. doesn't mean that isn't gnarly too.)

Who is just hitting their head on a regular basis? the average skater hits his head 1 or 2 times throughout his whole life. If hitting your head was a regular occurrence, it would be gnarly, but it's not.

the skin on your head applies extreme pressure under these conditions, you feel every jump, everytime you contract your body. that hurts or at least is incredibly annoying/disturbing. especially if you are in the middle of doing crazy stunts on a skatingboard.

^Don't bother.

I'm glad Jon mentioned in one of the first episodes how he loves bombing hills and he's gonna be like a kid in a candy store in SF, because now all you retards calling him stupid for trying that hill look like exactly what you are: retards. He obviously wasn't doing it to try to look gnarly, he was doing it because it looked fun. You think he didn't see the house at the bottom? Of course he did, you fucks.
Here's a clue: if you ever find yourself not trying something gnarly because it's dangerous, it's because you're a bigger pussy than Jon, not because you're smarter. Eat a dick.

Muthafucking TRUTH. The guy gets like 5 tricks through the whole week and people want to throw a bukaki party for him. Yeah, there's no arguing that he's incredibly good at big drops and handrails, and that the shit he did was super fucking difficult. But I don't get entertained by something purely because it's difficult. Doing a one footed gainer with your eyes closed down a bunch of stairs is probably pretty hard, but I'm not going to want to watch it... actually, that's a bad example because I wouldn't mind seeing someone do a gainer down some stairs. But roller blading looks nasty as fuck and I even get a little second hand embarrassment from watching it, but I'm sure some of that shit's tough to do. Doing some kooky Todd Falcon balancing your board on your foot thing while you skip down the stairs, switching the board between your feet, would probably be real challenging, but it looks lame and no one's going to be throwing down cash to watch that part.

I'd rather watch Reuben's clipper flip 5-0 or Matty's shove to crooks at that ditch... or even John's fakie ollie down those stairs or one of Mango's lines, than one of Forrest's token tricks down 15 stairs. And I'll believe that any one of Forrest's tricks is harder than all of those others combined. And even if you want to say that the shit he's doing isn't "standard"... for instance, I'll admit that a 360 flip to 50 isn't at all a standard trick, and it seems retardedly hard (especially down clipper). But it also looks fucking regular and I won't be bummed if I never see another.

Wait, what? How is that not a "lame" trick and switch back hell is? They're both tricks down the same set. You're an idiot.

On another note it's good to here all that news about how everyone's doing since the contest from Whitely. I'm stoked Matty's getting hooked up and I'm stoked for the upcoming Forrest interview.

I WAS sleigh riding when it happened.. so I guess you could say I was bombing a hill. My friend tried to jump over me when I was going really fast and his knee clipped my head so hard that my skin burst open. THAT was painful. It bled like crazy. BUT no, worst case scenario the staples would pop out and you'd have to get it fixed again, not really a big deal.

I'm just giving my opinion. I'd rather watch a fakie ollie. I doubt I could explain very well why that is, it just is. When I see the fakie ollie, I'm like "I'd like to do that." When I see the switch back heel I'm like "eh... crazy shit, but I'll pass". I almost would say that it's because I like to watch people do shit that I can do, but that can't be right, because I love a big fs flip down some stairs and I can't do that shit. Maybe I just like seeing shit that I would like to be able to do.

I'm not super stoked on the fakie ollie either, actually liked Matty's nollie the best at that spot. I was just looking for a trick by John down some stairs because if I said I liked his crail at the flowershop I'd get the obligatory "John just does mediocre tranny moves" response, or "you're just a transition skater so you like John" which is false because (a) I try to be as well rounded a skater as I can be, and (b) Matty and Reuben were my favorites in this shit.

You're an idiot.

hahahahhahahahahhahahahahhaa wow. you act like forrest skated a bunch of shit that noone else skated? he skated one spot that noone else got a trick on, no way of proving noone else tryed to skate it on here without mark's say so &, it was that rail he did 5050 on. just because they made a bigger deal out of him doing the best tricks at certain spots doesn't mean they didn't or wouldn't for anyone else? rueben's ollie was played over & over same with most anything john did in general... they made a whole episode out of him bombing a hill into a house which you can say wasn't to show off but, it obviously was. there was 3 people trying that ollie, the other 2 could obviously have done it i think they were just hesitant because of the fucking gnarly hill.... so john had to go be the cool guy to ollie it first & then instead of just jumping off or powersliding to stop, he bombs the whole thing into a house? something he knew wasn't going to work out for him.... & he wanted to be the cool guy & take the risk of getting broke the fuck off or even dying... yes skateboarding is a risk & you can get hurt doing any trick but bombing a huge, steep hill straight into a house is not talent or being ballsy... it's called being stupid. it's like being a shitty driver..... not cool. & to say, "oh yeah it was tight when this dude did a shittier trick at that spot but not when this dude got one of the best tricks ever done there" is just plain stupid & isn't even opinionated it's just trying way too hard to have an opinon... you really can't say "oh yeah i like this more because it's easier" that is fucking stupid you are just saying that because you suck & the best shit you could prolly do is a nollie down some shit or a tailside on a bank so ofourse you "think" that's the coolest shit... you are a bigger tool the the fuckin gipper

hahahahhahahahahhahahahahhaa wow. you act like forrest skated a bunch of shit that noone else skated? he skated one spot that noone else got a trick on, no way of proving noone else tryed to skate it on here without mark's say so &, it was that rail he did 5050 on. just because they made a bigger deal out of him doing the best tricks at certain spots doesn't mean they didn't or wouldn't for anyone else? rueben's ollie was played over & over same with most anything john did in general... they made a whole episode out of him bombing a hill into a house which you can say wasn't to show off but, it obviously was. there was 3 people trying that ollie, the other 2 could obviously have done it i think they were just hesitant because of the fucking gnarly hill.... so john had to go be the cool guy to ollie it first & then instead of just jumping off or powersliding to stop, he bombs the whole thing into a house? something he knew wasn't going to work out for him.... & he wanted to be the cool guy & take the risk of getting broke the fuck off or even dying... yes skateboarding is a risk & you can get hurt doing any trick but bombing a huge, steep hill straight into a house is not talent or being ballsy... it's called being stupid. it's like being a shitty driver..... not cool. & to say, "oh yeah it was tight when this dude did a shittier trick at that spot but not when this dude got one of the best tricks ever done there" is just plain stupid & isn't even opinionated it's just trying way too hard to have an opinon... you really can't say "oh yeah i like this more because it's easier" that is fucking stupid you are just saying that because you suck & the best shit you could prolly do is a nollie down some shit or a tailside on a bank so ofourse you "think" that's the coolest shit... you are a bigger tool the the fuckin gipper

I'd rather watch Reuben's clipper flip 5-0 or Matty's shove to crooks at that ditch... or even John's fakie ollie down those stairs or one of Mango's lines, than one of Forrest's token tricks down 15 stairs. And I'll believe that any one of Forrest's tricks is harder than all of those others combined. And even if you want to say that the shit he's doing isn't "standard"... for instance, I'll admit that a 360 flip to 50 isn't at all a standard trick, and it seems retardedly hard (especially down clipper). But it also looks fucking regular and I won't be bummed if I never see another.

Wait, what? How is that not a "lame" trick and switch back hell is? They're both tricks down the same set.
[close]

I'm just giving my opinion. I'd rather watch a fakie ollie. I doubt I could explain very well why that is, it just is. When I see the fakie ollie, I'm like "I'd like to do that." When I see the switch back heel I'm like "eh... crazy shit, but I'll pass". I almost would say that it's because I like to watch people do shit that I can do, but that can't be right, because I love a big fs flip down some stairs and I can't do that shit. Maybe I just like seeing shit that I would like to be able to do.

I'm not super stoked on the fakie ollie either, actually liked Matty's nollie the best at that spot. I was just looking for a trick by John down some stairs because if I said I liked his crail at the flowershop I'd get the obligatory "John just does mediocre tranny moves" response, or "you're just a transition skater so you like John" which is false because (a) I try to be as well rounded a skater as I can be, and (b) Matty and Reuben were my favorites in this shit.

Muthafucking TRUTH. The guy gets like 5 tricks through the whole week and people want to throw a bukaki party for him. Yeah, there's no arguing that he's incredibly good at big drops and handrails, and that the shit he did was super fucking difficult. But I don't get entertained by something purely because it's difficult. Doing a one footed gainer with your eyes closed down a bunch of stairs is probably pretty hard, but I'm not going to want to watch it... actually, that's a bad example because I wouldn't mind seeing someone do a gainer down some stairs. But roller blading looks nasty as fuck and I even get a little second hand embarrassment from watching it, but I'm sure some of that shit's tough to do. Doing some kooky Todd Falcon balancing your board on your foot thing while you skip down the stairs, switching the board between your feet, would probably be real challenging, but it looks lame and no one's going to be throwing down cash to watch that part.

I'd rather watch Reuben's clipper flip 5-0 or Matty's shove to crooks at that ditch... or even John's fakie ollie down those stairs or one of Mango's lines, than one of Forrest's token tricks down 15 stairs.

Ofcourse, the hill bomb was stupid. But still, can't really be compared to someone driving dangerously (putting other people in danger...). Gotta give it to him though, it was for sure stupid, but it also takes some balls and yeah, he had fun.

skating with staples in your head is kinda ballsy though. it makes the chance of hitting your head again that much more dangerous.
it was a gnarly risk when john skated with them, and it was also a gnarly risk when you, sir nocomply, skated with them.
I see it as dangerous as skating vert without pads.
(and before someone replies me that tons of people skate huge tranny without pads, I know dumbass. doesn't mean that isn't gnarly too.)

Who is just hitting their head on a regular basis? the average skater hits his head 1 or 2 times throughout his whole life. If hitting your head was a regular occurrence, it would be gnarly, but it's not.

are you an idiot? the chances that you'll hit your head skating are so slim that it doesn't matter that you have staples in your head. Skating with a huge gash in your shin and doing flip tricks is gnarlier than skating with staples in your head.

Just like how you are probably not going to fail that final exam that you've studied for that bad (I dont know if this is an appropriate metaphor while talking to someone called ChildoftheGhetto), but you're still stressed.

And I think you're kind of underestimating this, when you have 10 staples in your head, you don't actually have to hit it for it to hurt...

exactly. people think anyone that argues with john winning is just upset that forrest didn't win, which is wrong. if matty or rueben would have won, i would be stoked but, the dude that did the worst in the contest right next to nik (in my opinion) is the dude that wins. you can't get rewarded for thinking outside the box when you don't complete the action. yeah it was cool to ollie over that shit into the hill & bomb it but, he bombed it right into a fuckin house so to me, that does not count.. it's like landing a trick & getting hit by a fucking bus. doesn't count, sucks for him but, doesn't count. same with bombing the hill trying to ollie the double set, cool way of going about that but, also does not count cause he didn't do it first off & second off someone else already did...... also, you guys making it sound like "oh he skated the whole contest with staples in his head he could of gotten hurt".. good point.... i guess it is all of our faults that he chose to bomb a hill straight into a pillar with his head?

and the ollie after bombing the hill woulda been sick.....if he LANDED it but he didnt and it showed him trying it like 4 times he definetly didnt deserve to win more than forest or rueben i dont even think he shoulda been in the top three matty was the sickes oone on the show and ripped it just as hard as forrest did it was all a buncha slap politics voting for what they wanted to happen
[close]
exactly. people think anyone that argues with john winning is just upset that forrest didn't win, which is wrong. if matty or rueben would have won, i would be stoked but, the dude that did the worst in the contest right next to nik (in my opinion) is the dude that wins. you can't get rewarded for thinking outside the box when you don't complete the action. yeah it was cool to ollie over that shit into the hill & bomb it but, he bombed it right into a fuckin house so to me, that does not count.. it's like landing a trick & getting hit by a fucking bus. doesn't count, sucks for him but, doesn't count. same with bombing the hill trying to ollie the double set, cool way of going about that but, also does not count cause he didn't do it first off & second off someone else already did...... also, you guys making it sound like "oh he skated the whole contest with staples in his head he could of gotten hurt".. good point.... i guess it is all of our faults that he chose to bomb a hill straight into a pillar with his head?

Jesus, you kids sure are obsessed with the hill bombing and the staples.

you don't skateboard, so you don't realize that hitting your head is something that you don't even have to think about, because chances are, it isn't going to happen.

It's not something YOU think about because YOU skate ledges most of the time. Not everybody skates the same way you do.

The second angle shows that he doesn't hit his head. actually i guess he did. but from 45 feet to flat, and got up and walked it off like 5 mins later. Like i said before, you're not hitting your head on a regular basis, and even then, it's not always life threatening, or even session threatening for that matter.

This acquaintance that used to come into one of the skate-shops that I worked at, was unrecognizably inebriated one night at this club--we'll call him John...John Farkwarsin.

John was staggeringly fucked-up before he even walked in the club that night, and every time I'd see him throughout the evening he would have a new drink in his hand.

Aside from stinking like a motherfucker, and wanting to hug and bro the fuck down with any of us that he knew, and the dudes he was with, John tried to start at least--literally--like a dozen fights that night...

...but, his boys, and those of us that knew him managed to keep him from being beaten--often, nearly at our own expense.

Towards the end of the night, I realized I hadn't seen him in a good hour or so. So when I go in to the bathroom to take a leak close to closing time, I find John in the mens room...

...the dudes he came with were nowhere to be seen, and had obviously left him, and John was passed out cold, sitting on toilet, in a stall with no door on it, with no shirt on, and his pants and underwear around his ankles.

Dude had thrown up all over himself, and shit his pants, and shit all over the stall.

Next to him on the floor, was his wallet.

I looked in it, and there was a fifty dollar bill.

I took it.

but to those who think no one hits their heads skating just because you personally haven't tell that to mumford. seems like he hits his every time an ads due.


and to those that think they can win an argument with cotg, do yourself a favor and don't even bother. facts or no facts, you aren't going to get him to break down and buy you an ice cream anytime soon.

the reason i bring any of this up is because its ridiculous to say he didn't

you aren't going to make a thread about some dudes skating potrero,

in the shadow of their ability, yet exclude the fact that they can
be scumbags who think because of their skating they are entitled
to some kind of proverbial throne which happens to placed on top of the
hill at potrero.

i don't want to go on arguing this forever because it can easily go that route
but for someone who has lived in san francisco or california and seen first
hand people in the industry, you of all people should know that a person's
attitude doesn't always matter. if anything it rarely matters.
skaters can be completely fucking full of themselves and have an army of followers.
prime example: your thread dedicated to the guys skating potrero.

don't attack some random fucking dude in a contest when there are way worse
perpetrators of the "bad attitude" approach. its just petty.
the kid rips, end of story. if his attitude is so bad then he wont make anything happen
and that will be the end of it but does it mean he didn't deserve to win the contest.
in my very very very humble opinion (which i reserved for weeks) absolutely not.
Don't project your opinions onto me. I obviously don't share them, so acting like I am lying or hypocritical for disagreeing with you is stupid. You got your opinions? That's fine. Share them. Disagree with me all you want, just don't act like I'm being insincere.

Again, I didn't say those dudes deserve anything, I'm not sure what their assholeness would be arbitrary in relation to.
[close]

come on man. don't play semantics with me. you're smarter than that.
i can pull example after example until i move away from my original
point which will lead to you attacking all of the arguments that are only
presented as support. why don't we skip that whole ordeal?

the fact of the matter is you and everyone else knows that there are
people with bad attitudes who have achieved some level of recognition,
success, notoriety, etc... forrest isn't the first and certainly won't be the last.
the reason i bring any of this up is because its ridiculous to say he didn't
deserve to win a contest which is judged or actually SHOULD HAVE been
judged based on his skateboarding.

you aren't going to make a thread about some dudes skating potrero,
whose title basically suggested anyone who watches it should cower
in the shadow of their ability, yet exclude the fact that they can
be scumbags who think because of their skating they are entitled
to some kind of proverbial throne which happens to placed on top of the
hill at potrero.

i don't want to go on arguing this forever because it can easily go that route
but for someone who has lived in san francisco or california and seen first
hand people in the industry, you of all people should know that a person's
attitude doesn't always matter. if anything it rarely matters.
skaters can be completely fucking full of themselves and have an army of followers.
prime example: your thread dedicated to the guys skating potrero.

don't attack some random fucking dude in a contest when there are way worse
perpetrators of the "bad attitude" approach. its just petty.
the kid rips, end of story. if his attitude is so bad then he wont make anything happen
and that will be the end of it but does it mean he didn't deserve to win the contest.
in my very very very humble opinion (which i reserved for weeks) absolutely not.

Don't project your opinions onto me. I obviously don't share them, so acting like I am lying or hypocritical for disagreeing with you is stupid. You got your opinions? That's fine. Share them. Disagree with me all you want, just don't act like I'm being insincere.

I was skating that much when i had a job. you guys just make excuses. there's no reason you shouldn't be able to skate 3+ hours a day. probably not, I don't know any filmers on a super personal level to where they would go the places i wanted to go except my homie, and he doesn't skate that often.

If I wanted to, I could skate almost the whole day...but that's lame if you're alone (imo). I'm unemployed right now and all I do is school work and spend time with my woman, so my time is flexible. Back when I went to college full time, worked full time, and spent time with my girlfriend...it was hard to put in 30 minutes of skating. weekend were different though.

Imo skateboarding by yourself is the mark of a true skater, one who skates for the love fo skating, not because they have friends who skate and just conform to what their social group does.

However:       pussy > skating

For me it is, if you like it that's fine. Friends to me make skating fun. Skating alone is fun, but rarely. And yes I do like skating. I miss having a small group of friends to call up and skate around town with...they make it enjoyable, and, for the lack of better words, we feed of each others hype. Or maybe I just got spoiled having friend around to skate with (skating alone has been going on for 2 years now).

About thee skating by yourself shit your completely right, i skate by myself basically every day except Saturday and sometimes Friday, the only kid i know who skates that lives close enough only skates about once a week so im stuck by myself until friday/saturday when him and the rest of the crew come out.But even when i skate by myself its fun just learning how to do shit and progressing, well even the off days i have fun so....

Because skating is a social activity. You seriously go out and shut everybody in the world out when you skate?

man please. the reason i started skating was because team sports bummed me out and it was the one thing you could do by yourself and still be just as proficient. when i skate by myself, i tend to zone out on certain things i want to perfect (100 no-looking-down heelflips in the driveway type ish). either that or just cruise around the city and check for spots. thats like my favorite thing to do and because i tend to wake up early as shit and be restless, i do it quite alot. i like skating with friends though, but sometimes i find myself being more self conscious when others are there. but maybe that's just me.

where i come from the team bro-dudes played football and the spazoids went skating instead of killing people. thats a gross oversimplification, but you get my drift. i do like a good friends sesh though. but even then, i tend to zone on dudes if i'm landing shit constantly.

Definitely not you, depending on how I'm feeling I'm the same way. I'll skate alone if I'm really hyped to skate, but I'm not gonna go skate because I feel obligated to. With that being said, I'm usually hyped to go skate almost every day.

It all depends on how much you work and what kind of work you do . If you work 9-5 , at a pretty relaxed job , not that much labour , yes you should be able to go skate after work . If you work in a coal mine 12 hours a day or what ever , it might be harder to find
the energy and motivation to go out skating

I work around 15- 16 hour days , of pretty hard labour and pressure . 2 days off a week , I could prob skate more then I do but then again most days off I just sleep and relax outside or at the computer . I guess I could use that as a excuse to say thats why Im not better at skating . but its abit weird and tbh work is abit more important to me then skating

Too many acronyms?

And skating by yourself is lame, only because I'm shy and generally don't know how to actually talk to someone I don't know, other than the occasional, "Yeah", "Get that shit", or "Woo". And generally, where I'm from, it seems to be ignored.
[close]
why do you even need to talk to anyone at all when you're skating?
[close]
Because skating is a social activity. You seriously go out and shut everybody in the world out when you skate?

that's definitely subjective. the first like three months that i started skating, i didn't know anyone else who skated and i would go around to spots alone and have the time of my life. and to this day i still prefer skating alone to skating with people just to be skating with people. i don't shut people out when i skate, and i'll give random dudes at the park props for their tricks, but if you're asking me if i try to start/hold a conversation with someone i don't even know when i skate, the answer is no. i don't ignore people when they talk to me though. call me autistic, but if i'm having a session, i'm not gonna pause it to talk to dudes.

Why? I've skated with every other person who has asked me on this board without even a second thought and have even made efforts to go a pretty decent distance to do it. I just genuinely think Child of the ghetto is a stupid piece of shit, and have no desire to ever meet him.
Enjoy being unemployed COTG, by the way. Its funny how you worship money (remember telling us all how awesome Jereme Rogers was for having an aston martin) but haven't done a damn thing to get your own. Remember, excuses won't feed you.

Get money son! Quit sitting around like a bum hoping the money fairy's gonna come.
Again, sitting around talking to a dude and deciding he is a stupid piece of shit is a much different thought than "gee I want to skate with him!"
Strangefires, I'm down. If you come to LA in the next few months let me know, I'll probably be back in the bay in about 6-8 months though, but am down to skate there too.

as far as skating alone vs. skating with friends - yeah it's a lot more fun to have friends around but I enjoy the solo feel too...it's a lot more work to really get into it when you're alone in my experience. I just tend to say and do stupid shit around other skaters if I don't know them or feel comfortable around them, though that tends to apply to all people across the board. I'm no good at playing it cool with unfamiliars, so I just say fuck it and keep my mouth shut. go skate.  I used to think when I was a teenager that you'd have some sort of instant camaraderie with anyone who plays skateboards but that definitely isn't the case.

I don't even feel that it's more fun. You can do way more tricks when you're by yourself because you get more turns. To me doing tricks is fun. the more i do, the more fun I'm having.

this is also true, the worst part about mobbing deep with like 15 homies to a spot is that it makes a trick 10x harder cause you'll have a good attempt, be hyped to try again and land it, but you're waiting so long that by the time you get the chance you lost that spark. i don't know how common 10+ deep sessions are for some of you, but they're pretty common in my town. i'll admit they have a good vibe because everyone's hyped for everyone's tricks.
