Forrest Edwards - Where's he been?
« on: September 16, 2019, 07:18:59 AM »
Forrest Edwards dropped that unhinged part almost six years ago, since than I haven't seen much footage of him. Is he still only flow on Zero, will he be in the new Zero video?

The dude absolutely crushes it on a skateboard and is better than more than half of the pros out there. Where is Forrest Edwards these days.

I think we saw him at his peak when he put that video out, he still skates judging by his insta. But doesnt look like he will ever be pro for a legit company.

It looks like he skates street rails by himself based on the filming and angles. That’s fucking crazy.

Kooked it with zero being disrespectful to the staff and not pulling off a part/ thrasher itw.

Jenkem had an article on it, JT pulled the plug.

You talking about this article:

http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2016/12/26/forrest-edwards-gets-a-zero-board/

I thought Forrest Edwards was on Zero flow but then got kicked off a year ago? What’s with this board?

"We were scheduled to introduce Forrest and drop this board last October with a video part and an interview and ad in Thrasher. I knew what I was getting myself into with Forrest, and in the beginning it seemed like we could work with him, but in the months leading up to when the part was scheduled to drop he got harder and harder to deal with.

Our crew tried to connect with him to film and shoot photos for his interview and the ad, but he’d always flake, and the few times they did hook up with him, it was a nightmare.

His footage was all over the place and with a bunch of different people. When we finally got it all together, some of it had been used, he had tons of repeats and a lot of HD fisheye, so we didn’t really have a part. He also only had one sequence for his interview and after 3 months of reminding him, we still didn’t have an ad, so I sat down with him to try and discuss a plan, but he just shut down; it was too much pressure. I felt like it was going to be a never-ending headache, so I pulled the plug and told him it wasn’t going to work out. It was tense for a few weeks, but after a bit, I think Forrest understood the situation. We’re cool now."

What ever happened to Forrest’s peers from the show? John and the actual winner Reuben?

He's living proof that in order to become a professional skateboarder you need to have at least SOMETHING likable about you other than your incredible talent on a skateboard.

John Fitzgerald was the one who won OIAM & he's pro for Hockey now. Reuben got on Enjoi briefly, not sure what he's up to now

This has been addressed extensively even by Jamie Thomas himself on these very message boards. The real question is where has OP been?

not that crazy - if you're talented/skilled in something yet have really shitty social skills ; this prevents a lot of personalities from being part of larger work forces.

Also comparing him to  Spencer Hamiltion (whose been fully sponsored by brands like exp 1, supra, krew etc) to a dude whose been in flow purgatory is incomparable.


hell he has a fucking board floating around that never made it to the market due to his shitty attitude.

You hear stories all the time about people not getting along on the road, it's human nature, nobody likes everybody.

FA should give him boards and not worry about his rep...tho getting to dress up in pajamas with a lame haircut might be 'gay' in Forrest's eyes, you knowwhatimsaying?
