Official One In A Million 2010 Thread

[Water Plantis]

so why did forrest randomly start talking about not skating tranny, and trying to make a million dollar???

this was such a great episode. some really good new forrest quotes. mango got some sick footy (finally), i was pretty stoked on reubens 180 switch 5050, and the crook pop over was super sick

"Nah, I don't like skating tranny. You don't get paid like a million bucks to do that."

haha!
i think its funny how he thinks all these 'street pros' are getting that kind of coin when theres only a handful of dudes that make that kind of money.  they certainly don't make it from skateboarding rather other non-skate endorsements/sponsors.

i think he should stay in school and learn and a thing or 2, instead of suffering with diarrhea of the mouth for the rest of his life.
i mean, how does he expect to negotiate a million contract(or even understand it) if the dude is dumber than a bag of rocks?

I'm guessing kickflip front 5-0 by rueben and tre flip 5050 by forrest. i would think forrest did his trick first too then rueben cuz i dont see forrest getting psyched and it making him wanna do his.

if he kickflip five os it, ill be surprised...although he did say it was the best trick he ever did. i was thinking kickflip grind for reuben, and forrest did 360flip grind.

Hahahaha, some of you guys get so cheesed by Forest, it's hilarious. "Fuck him, he shouldn't talk, I hate him I hate him I HATE HIM!" seems to be the general consensus.

[L33Tg33k]

Slap's general consensus is always whack.  Homeboy's got a dream and he'll do whatever it takes to make it happen.  30 inch rims ain't gonna buy themselves.  GET PAID!

its called a lawyer jackass and how do you know if hes dumb? he cant be any worse than you.

Mango and Matty keeellled it this episode
that 50-50 to nose manny and the line Mango did were both awesome

[gaileaduffel]

the average pro skater makes less than a mcdees drive thru supervisor




attitude often determines altitude

forrest is one in a million with the same skills and cocky vibe

you get the same energy you put out

MOST PEOPLE DREAM THE WRONG DREAM

hes better off going back to school before he gets hurt

lil dude will get humbled in due time

Re-watching the episode I really like Mango's backtail to fakie followed up quickly by the frontside half-cab. Quirky stuff like that can be fun. This was his episode.

[close]

best part

That stood out in a big way.  It was so stylish.  Not the techest tricks, but done so quick and clean, I liked it.
Forrest doing two flip to slide tricks in a line is not to be taken lightly.  Sick stuff.
Matty: best style in the bunch.
I really liked this episode.  I liked the Third and Army edit, just seeing all the lines was nice.

[poopmonkey]

depends entirely on the brands you skate for and the coverage you get.
In that film "the man who souled the world" don't they say something about World riders getting payed like $3000 a month? might've been more.
And this is like early 90s.

[Omamori]

Mango- star of this episode, killed every spot
Matty - style
John - got 1 good trick
Ruben - is constantly killing it
Nik - futile, he doesn't even skate
Forrest - not much, next episode should be sick
Gonzalo - That crooked pop over was too good

[Cuong Ngo]

no offense to matty,
but his style irks me.

[oyolar]

Diarrhea of the mouth is called "logorrhea."

[spool of cord]

I feel bad for nik. I expected him to get a bunch of stuff at 3rd and army. oh well.

I'm loving everyone in OIAM this year. gonzolo is definetly low-key but the guy kills it. surprised to hear it took forrest so long to get that line. must have been an off day for him. not much else to add that hasn't already been said. whiteley, do you guys go to anymore tranny spots/parks?

[Filip]

After I saw this, Matty already won in my eyes, he skates like a pro.  And Forrest needs to shut the fuck up and just skate.

[slappyslap]

it seems that matty has a flow deal with convers ??
Can you be in O I A M if you have a sponsor ?

[Stanley Hol]

I think Matt and Forrest are fun to watch but you can see John is the best skater of the lot - everything he does just looks proper, you can see that he'd be the most likely to get on a team.

[stef]

I think Reuben is going to take it.  He is constantly killing it and he seems the most memorable to me besides Forrest.  What the other guys are doing is all blending together in my mind from episode to episode.  I really like Matty's style though.  It would be cool to see him at another transition spot.

[dylan makes me wet]

in all honesty reuben should win
he seems to get tricks at EVERY spot
they're always sick tricks
he has a very wide trick selection by the looks of it
though he may come across as too nice ,he does seem like a sound guy

how would he know he isn't getting shafted by his lawyer?  it happened to sheckler, it happened to nicolas cage, all those people who got taken by bernie madoff.  its happened to a lot of people who are educated and had lawyers.  yeah, those type of shysters will take advantage regardless, but even more so when they know you're stupid.      
as far as the question of his intelligence, theres 47 pages proving his idiocy/stupidity not to mention the fact he said, hes doesn't work or go to school.  i'll bet you any sum of money that he probably can't read or write very well and i highly doubt he could do basic math.

You, faster!, truly are the idiot.

[idealhandmades]

does anybody actually buy that Forrest is able to make ends meet by just entering contests here and there?
He said he doesn't go to school, he doesn't work, he just enters contests, wins boards, and then sells them.
if he has to travel all over the place to get to these contests, how the hell would that method of self employment even cover his travel costs?
never mind if he breaks a board (or two that don't belong to him) and has to keep what would have been a meal on his table that night.

He's either a liar and has a job, or mommy and daddy forrest are picking up the check.

you think that his flights to things like this arent paid for? obviously every little contest isnt gonna ship him in but big ones like this are usually fully covered

i aint talkin about this contest dummy, everyone knows slap picks up the checks on it.
I'm talking about whatever other contests he's able to get in to as a skater thats not already hooked up. skateparkoftampa ain't flyin all those Ams in every year.
and even if he doesnt have to fly, gas aint cheap.
I still smell a liar.

hes not talking about OIAM, hes talking about all the other contests that he said he enters....before OIAM.
he doesn't work, he hustles the product he wins at contests, then somehow has enough money to travel to these venues, eat and pay his bills and buy boards and all the other shit that he needs. 

sounds more like its a struggle for his parents who are paying for all his shit.
   

[ChildoftheGhetto]

He lives with his parents. duh.

[finknoos]

Ha yeah thats blatently what me means, he lives with his parents and does contests and sells boards etc as a way of having extra pocket money and bieng able to say he earns his own keep (which he doesnt)

[ChildoftheGhetto]

I'm sure most contests he goes to are within a 5 mile radius of his house. He's not going to damn am and shit like that, just local contests.

[Donkey Lips]

He also started off in Episode 1 saying he likes money but never really has it.
