Can someone make a banner with those two rollerbladers? Team gay or something. Thanks.

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.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

Clever first post. Subtle, but effective. My favorite part was when you asked him if he was gay. That was classic!

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.

I've also hit my head hella times and never fractured so props dude!

He's killing it!  Easily the most talented dude in all of this.

Those tricks were near perfect too.

Wrong. Skateboarding is for arguing about on the internet.

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.

Day 2 was super eventful, from the flower shop to the hill bomb to the hospital to the double set. friday will start off the episodes for Day 3, which has us going over to the east bay- first stop is treasure island and a really sick session in the ditch out there...

It's crazy that he got all three of those tricks so easily. He didn't even take the time to take off his jacket on the first two. and when he fell it's like the rough ground didn't even bother him.

I feel like there's a thing where if you're doing double flips and you're not Kerry Getz you have to be wearing shorts and visible socks.

Yea I normally can't stand double flips but that one was perfect - so was Forrest's switch 360 flip.  Right when he pops it you can hear someone in the background call out that he was about to land it.

A straight double flip is a great trick imo. It's just that every combination with it looks like shit (bs 180 double flip, double flip fs board,...). But I have nothing against a speedy, well-popped straight double flip

Forrest murdered it, no doubt... but I laughed my ass off at the beginning as soon as that old man said "football." Hahaha! Fucking hilarious... also, to be fair, Forrest didn't leave the other dude hanging intentionally, he was looking the other way.
