Forrest Edwards - Where's he been?

[1xz5h]

I ate a fuckin apple

[Watson]

I like Forrest, but he steezes out his landings with the freeze frame and tuck knee indy roll away way too much. Trying to edit a part where someone lands every trick like that would be a nightmare.

[Bumpovertrash]

Forrest is fucking rad I would buy 10

Too true on the feeze - but man, the shit he does sort of allows him to get away with it...and the fact that he's doing insane shit and filming his rail bangers alone....crazy dedicated.

[getdatshrimp]

 I want to give Forrest my money, I wish he was on that wack app that you pay semi famous people to shout you out or something.
  I would love forest to do my answering machine message.

I just rewatched his Wallenberg switch flip. 

[Pissedoff30y/oskatedad]

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.

Yup forrest can be seen skating humt park in Riverside with his salty ass attitude and a shitty ass toy machine board. Excellent skater, SHITTY person... but keep supporting dude lol lord knows he doesnt have enough drive or morivation to do shit else with his existance than leach off the skate community for the rest of his life

[RCB3]

I still think his last trick in this is in the top 5 gnarliest rail tricks ever. It's a 14 stair and it's super tall. I feel like it gets overlooked for how crazy it is.

explain your burning hatred

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

If I'd own a board company I'd get him on, and market the shit out of him as some kind of skateboard villain.
He already has that funky ''vampire hairline'' so he'd better roll with it.

[Willie]

Looking back on these videos makes me think he’s maybe one of the best to never go big time.

It’s been pretty clear since OIAM that he’s kind of abrasive. That’s not a non-issue when it comes to most skate sponsors.

His zero board would probably sell a lot

Probably a hell of a lot more than his Threat model....

People seem to forget JT moving Hill, Edwards, and whoever else onto the PP brand Threat...that's a bit like a slap in the face, I'd be pissed too. "Yeah, well no, not making you pro for ZERO, instead, you can be pro for our pricepoint brand. Cool?"

blaming forrest like he had every opportunity..

jt is the fucking kook

isn't that basically what jt tried to do but sounds like forest didn't come through with the footage and clips. you can't market someone who won't show up.

From everything I've seen. Forrest seems to get more legitimate footage than current pros on some teams.

Did JT try and give all the Forrest boards away to that Lawyer in Florida?

apparently it was the consistency of forrest's footage

wrong decks, filmers, locations, quality, due dates etc...

dude wasn't able to supply the photos/footage when it mattered for ads and sponsors, which is weird considering the plethora of footage of him online

dunno, this is all coming from JT's words though

[gaunt]

JT couldn't pay this dude to give a fuck about zero



also lol

edit:


damn i'm gonna have to go back and watch 2010 OIAM, laughing pretty hard remembering how he punked daryl angel after borrowing his board and breaking it

That thrasher part had 8 different filmers. Someone in video prod could tell you better, but i'm guessing that's possibly 8 different cameras with different color settings, filmed in different styles.

On the other half, he's a clip machine.

I'd bet that he lives a crazy unpredictable lifestyle and is very hard to be around for long periods of time. He takes the people and opportunities around him for granted and probably doesn't even do basic reciprocal relationship things like clean up after himself, communicate plans, or be accountable.

He's a lot like the rapper papoose. I bet somewhere right now, papoose is rapping or about to rap, and forrest out there skating, or about to go skate.
We just aren't there to see it, and they don't value themselves enough to capture it. I don't even like papoose or forrest, it's just crazy to see people blow it when they clearly "got it."

I remember watching this OIAM when it was still live and episodes were weekly being dropped. When Forrest didn't get the top spot and John Fitzgerald got chosen, I was outraged.

I never liked John Fitzgerald period, he's too tall and lanky. He looks like a whacky waving tub inflatable man on a board

[no habla mango]

Forrest E and DJ Gaudin both got cursed on the 'day of switch at Wallenberg'.
laid down 2 of the heaviest hammers and were erased from skating.

I think Forrest is more like a sk8 Lauryn Hill

Just scroll through his Instagram. It’s insane how many big rails he skates seemingly alone self filming

[Lowcalcium]

I'd love to see Forrest land somewhere...... maybe Primitive. The roster over there continues to grow day by day.

Or Forrest could be on Plan B, they just cleared up some spots

I've meet Forrest before. He was super nice to me, that being said I do not think he would get along with that squad. They all seem too positive/tight knit. He is more of a lone wolf type. Could you imagine Heath K on Primitive?

hahaha so good. Like others have said his insta took me suprise hes been going for it

That clip is sooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooood.

Look, one thing if for sure, FE does not give one fuck about what he gives no fucks about. Some people can't do that.

I'd back him for that.

Do you think you could last one day just letting the truth out to everyone you speak with and not let the societal games dictate who you are?

Again, that clip is awesome, he doesn't like that dude so why does he need to interface with him in any way?

[FUCKINGLOUD]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DECIDE TRE FLIP 5050 ON HANDRAILS IS YOUR GO TO

[too fakie]

P-Rod should put Forrest on Primitive.  Fuck it, right?
