Skateboarding is so weird in terms of it not being a sport, but more of a homie lifestyle and art form. There's so many assholes that make it into the NFL, MLB, NBA, Premier League ...... where the athletes skill always has merit and trumps their terrible attitude.Imagine John McEnroe not being able to play Tennis because he had a temper tantrum. Someone should just give Forrest a board and bite their lip when he does shitty stuff, the dudes talent is worth it

"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."
I must have been tripping last night

The entire industry should be ashamed of itself.

On one side I see why Jamie didn't go further with Forrest, but I think he didn't try to at least teach him some basic stuff before giving the boot. I mean, just look at the stuff with Kobra Cole, I'm sure telling Forrest to wait for his boards and stop fucking up the whole marketing process wouldn't be that harder.

This part is from 2014 and Forrest got Bronze for it! Part is incredible and I only just saw it.

Why are people saying he deserves to be making money? He's lazy and doesn't put in any work. He got his once in a lifetime opportunity and JT was even willing to put up with his shit and he didn't do what every skaters dream about (ad, interview in thrasher, pro board). It seems like this was his dream. Maybe he's got an addiction or some other shit going on, I just dont get. We need a jenkem interview asap.
In Riverside, particularly at Hunt. Dudes fucking unreal on a skateboard. Almost handed him a SHALOM sticker but I’m terrified of rejection. Also, fuck that, that’s my sticker.
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this
How many times a year can you kids make the same thread. Dudes good at skating but doesn’t suck industry dick so he’ll never make it. Skateboarding is 80 percent industry dick 20 percent skill, every park in America has a local park hero better than whatever new am you feel like mentioning. Who you know > what you know.Free max b
His zero board would probably sell a lot
the black jesus graphic was sick though...sucks that he seemed to have blown it, the footage is crazy!
