It's pretty cool that Forrest is taking Mark's advice and not brushing it off like I would have expected him to. His tricks over the hip were really sick, too. Also, whoever said that Jon can't flip his board can suck it.
Yeah, I honestly expected Forest to just shrug off what whitely said, or just become even more of an asshole, but it seemed like he did actually make an effort. Maybe it was just to win, but It seemed like he had done at least some reflecting, which is more than I expected.
Some people just don't get along with others as easy, I think Forest may be that kinda guy. He may not even have been realizing that he was coming off as that much of a dick.
Either way I'm pulling for him to win for some reason. It'd be sick if John won too. Could see him being am for Roger or something. Reuben is prlly gonna be a pro one day no matter what, so who gives an h. Plus having that much facial hair at 16 is kinda weird.
