We get some pretty hilarious and amazing mail from our readers every week and figured instead of just hi-fiving or snickering about it behind a computer screen, we would share it with the rest of you to enjoy. Feel free to hit us up with your inquirys, complaints, questions, farts – we respond to all our loyal reader’s mail. Who knows, maybe we will feature it here, and the fame and glory will be all yours… kind of.

Maybe someone could set up a Kickstarter project for Forrest?

great skating – straight KOOK
that’s why he’s not sponsored.

I don’t think he’s a kook just really socially fucked in the head. He never says anything positive about Street League or Monster or anything like that he always talks about how he wants to be on Toy Machine or Baker. Kid’s love this guy too his boards would go flying off the shelves. I think Zero should hook him up. Even if he is a kook it wouldn’t be as kooky as partnering up with new balance if they’re trying to get out of financial trouble.

There’s a lot of great skaters, nobody wants a kook.

What an interesting kid Forrest is. He is quite the contradiction.
He wants to be on companies that don’t emphasize competition and are all about being homies, but during the OIAM he proved that he was set on destroying his competition and was too cool to be homies with anyone.
If he couldn’t handle Mango how in the hell does he think he’d be able to deal with the Baker guys? Could you imagine him in the van taking a trip with the Baker team? He’d probably end up fighting Dixon, TK, or Mike Plumb before they got to the first spot.
Shit, he might just be the next Bastien. Amazing at skateboarding, but basically sponsorless because of his arrogance.

Well, it’s kind of cool that it’s not all about your skating. He can be as good as he wants but as long as he’s a scumbag he shouldnt be pro.

Why is Nyjah pro? And Sheckler?

Probably because they can handle conventions? Incredibly boring to watch, but they obviously fill a need in the business for young skaters.
I rather see young skaters be stoked on them than applying Forrests attitude.
