I'd like to meet Forrest to see how he actually is.
That's like asking to hang out with your favorite pro for a day. It's a horrible experience.
I had the chance to meet Forrest when I went to Long Beach this year for my Agenda sneak peeks.
Forrest was skating the Berrics and he had broken his board. My friend noticed, felt bad and gave Forrest his back up deck.
Now, my friend has no idea who Forrest is. He doesn't pay attention to any of the latest skate media and I think that actually makes him better at skating. Anyhow, after that happened, I needed to go to our rental car to get my book bag. On my way to the car, I noticed Forrest sitting a car away from where our rental was. He was sitting on a curb, shirtless and was holding his head.
I'm no concerned citizen and I enjoy minding my own business most of the time but I felt compelled to see if he was alright.
I started off by asking if he was alright and I got a "Yeah, I'm aight".
Then I figured, I'd ask him how he liked the new deck, it was from our shop and I figured I'd make small talk.
He said "I don't know, I haven't set it up yet." in a condescending manner. He was clearly annoyed so I decided to leave him alone. All I said next as I left was "Alright, hope you enjoy it". As I was walking away, I randomly heard "What do you mean? I told you, I didn't even set it up yet."
I just kept walking.
Forrest shows signs of social anxiety, which is common in most skateboarders, but it was strange to see that it wasn't all an act.
The End.
