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.
