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

Forrest is a good guy at heart, he just puts up a front because he’s a little insecure. People act like forrest is an idiot, but I’m sure he is well aware of how people look at him for laughs. Its sad because that is probably where most of his insecurity comes from. It doesn’t help that he is named Forrest too…

Damn, he would qualify if didn’t miss that last best trick :/ He was killer all the time, his second flowy run , his best tricks. That 360 flip to 50-50 on rail was WTF as fuck for everyone. Shame that he couldn’t roll away from that rail at the end, he nearly made it.
Nevertheless , he put a great fight and it was enyojable as hell to watch him ! RESPECT !

Forget barci, wouldn’t mind seeing this guy skate the hills of sf or the boroughs in nyc. Soty ’16, straight Kobe. What does a bisexual antitheist, a pawg, and nyjah have in common? The answer: this thread….
