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.

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."

dude is on the spectrum

I have no idea how other people don't see that & would literally explain his entire career this far

This would actually be fucking hilarious to watch him just eyeballing everyone like they're crazy.
on the commentary for the scene where jeremy klein rollerblades at that little skatepark he said the actual blader with dreads who was there came up to him and asked him if he listens to korn

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.

Well, maybe.
But he did it the wrong way in my opinion.

I'm sure it's would be hard to work with someone like Forrest.
But I'm also 100% sure it is not easy to work for JT...

Always two sides to a story, and he seems to get plenty of footage right now

Getting on a team is about having to hang out with a dude and Forrest seems like a nightmare of arrogance and selfishness that would be a bummer real quick.

Like it was already mentioned, you have to have something to set yourself apart from the rest of the field . Being hard to work with/bad attitude makes it hard for a company to invest in you.

i remember an interview (maybe even the recent 9 club) with billy marks where he was talking about how strict jamie thomas was with filmers/ camera settings- so they could not use any homie footage ever of any trick and just film with (maybe) mike gilbert who was fallen filmer at the time.

so i see forrest producing with different filmers A LOT but maybe the "how" to produce footage was more of teh problem- it seems!

basically two different angles at doing something wich gets problematic easily..... so i think if somebody was cool with forrest letting him "do his thing" i cannot imagine that he would not produce!? i mean, see what parts he came out with so far!
i love me some KB to death but he clearly is kinda not "easy to work with" or does produce a lot he still comes through when he needs to- he would not last a day on another brand than FA though (bloard wise), seems to somehow still do enough for nike too.

I remember this and I guess it makes sense to an extent but I'd say there was more to the Forrest situation then just the "how"

They put on a radbull beanie but can't find a spot for Forrest. Come on Mr. Templeton....put your camera down and start taking real shots

Somehow I like This dude more than all These „hug me“ After Every Land Fake positive personas in skateboarding. The anti Hero skateboarding Needs. You Kiss all These hellride Cocky Core Dudes Ass but Complain about Forrester? Cmon! I wanna watch Good skateboarding, i Dont expect Pros to be bff Material or be the nicest dude to meet at a Bar. Fuck all These Social expectations and „Were Family“ BS in businesses. Thats what makes Life Hard for introverts and People on the spectrum.

Get Forrest on a real sponsor!
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

Dude looks like a cartoon villain with that gnarly hairline and constant 'evil eye' he gives you.
But he rips pretty damn hard.

And if you know a guy is obviously on the spectrum cut the dude some slack...

He’s one of the most unlikeable people in skateboarding along with Nyjah, Antwuan, Dollin, TNT, neckface, Andy Roy and Jason Dill.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It’s the courage to continue that counts.

Your sig reminded me Toy also dragged their feet with Tyshawn. Passing on him and Forrest but hooking up and immediately turning the red bull beanie pro is why no one gave a fuck about the last Toy vid.
