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.
