If you’ve been following along, you know that Forrest Edwards recently got invited to compete at the Barcelona Pro Open event. Problem was, that he’s a broke-ass dude, and is only flow on Zero and Emerica so he needed help with the ticket costs. As a result we ended up running a whole campaign and crowdfunded his ticket to get the man out there. Honestly, we weren’t sure if he was gonna make the flight, after just receiving his passport just 2 weeks before the trip. But it’s 5:50PM right now in Barcelona and we are proud to announce that Forrest made his flight. Breaking it TMZ style. #TEAMFORREST

u find funny the fact that someone gives a chance to this person to fly to streetleague as opposed to buylding a park for some new guys? so,analyze your idea…your right,skateboarding is just fun (not just that but ok) ,this thing is the opposite. mongoloid.

you are an idiot. if all money that is spent in the world went strictly to where it is needed then the world would be different. this is impossible to happen. then i could come argue: why spend all that money on a skatepark when there are kids starving in africa and are eaten alive by flies? it could go on forever. right here someone has been able to collect some money and spend it for laughs on a 1000 dollar ticket. how about your favorite musician weekly blowing this sum on coke? would you listen to his music ever again or would you write him a letter complaining? stop being so uptight and better start rollerblading or scooting, then you can bitch as much as you like

you didn’t deserve a real answer,so I just tell you to fuck off yankee.talking about african problems comparating them to what people says about wrong maneuvers in skateboarding (like collecting money for edwards)…can’t believe it

you cannot come up with a real answer coz you are too stupid. hence you did not realise that im on the same track as you. fed up with people talking about the worlds problems when these problems would not end if forrests ticket money was given to kids in africa.
as for bad moves in skating, you certainly are stupid! just think of how many clicks this whole “lets fly forrest to barca” thing has generated for jenkem (they have made 3 articles for it) and also how much popularity it has given to the skater himself. now, if you dont like him entering the comp, you should ask jenkem to start a petition for you so people could fly you to barca and you could go to the event, stand up and say your opinion to everyone. fuck off you are a sad fuck. oh and im from europe so no yankee for me.

Omg Forrest is the worst. Why can’t more skaters be like nigel hudson and ryan sheckler? They are all-around nice guys that work hard but aren’t afraid to get a little crazy ;) You can be a bad boy without having to promote cigarettes to our youth

Shut up pussy

That wasn’t the point though. Nobody said anything about fucking cigarettes or being real. Being cocky is one thing, being shit towards others who aren’t at fault is another. I just hope this jenkem trip (literally and figuratively) doesn’t reduce him to a caricature of himself. It’s all publicity for jenkem, as Forrest himself diagnosed. Good luck with that, but it’s still the same concept of a contest, his partaking won’t change anything.
