So far I think all of the episodes have been really good. I can't wait to see the footage from that brick double set.

Not a cover, but definitely a sick photo. I've also been wondering what shoes Forrest is wearing in these videos. They look really good, but I can't tell what style/brand they are.

first off, NONE of these guys compare to the talent that Forrest has.
yeah, hes kinda dick, but get to know the guy and he can be super cool
also, if any of you paid attention to the livefromthestreets blog you would know that the final 3 boils down to Forrest, Reuben, and john i believe. funny how everyone hating on Forrest when they don't even know him.
But as the admin. said, wait till the next episode, it should shut you all up.

this should shut you all up till then:

You sound like you have the same Jock itch disease Gump has. Talent doesn't excuse someone for being asshole. Nobody said Gump isn't good. Yet you and his other nut sharks come in here trying to justify his personality with his talent. Son you need to get out more. Gumps are dime a dozen. Tricks don't make a skater.  Shit, if he was so damn good, why does he need to enter OIAM? Shouldn't he be pro by now? The logic just isn't there.

He'll get no where on just his talent. You and him are fools to think otherwise.

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.

I agree. However nobody wants to work with someone they don't like. Not my boss, not your boss and (even though him and Gump both enjoy fruit) not the boss.

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.

Who gives a fuck about Forrest? Did you guys see John Fitzgerald?! Dude is the truth, straight up animal chin motherfucker killing himself on hills and saying its the most fun moment of his life. 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.

COTG, I'ma let that epicly regular shit you said in my sig go. I'm full on backing team headwound!


And Whiteley, that's a dick move telling dudes they are in for a fun week of skating and taking them to Santa Cruz. Real dick move. Though it might be fun to see a Forrest v. SC Local interaction.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

that hill bomb was seriously insane, and the fact that he didnt complain, went to the hospital and got back in the van makes him a top notch dude in my book.  

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.

**edit**

actually only Slap would people rather be remembered for going fast and crashing than doing something that required all the skill acquired over years of skating and countless hours of learning.
