probably my favourite part of all time honestly. i still remember randomly clicking this video having no idea who Forrest was, and just being completely shocked. Mustve watched at least 50 times by now. This part was also the first time I had ever heard flatbush zombies before too lol! I still listen to them all the time
@@oldrixe4768 I say that because as a professional it would be nice to be able to enjoy a long career that could support you financially so that you could even retire and live well. For certain reasons that doesn't seem to be the case for this gentleman's career.
He was smiling like crazy when slap gave him that 20 dollar per diem for six days all in advance. I always sympathized with the dude since then. No one who's grown up with ample opportunity is that happy to get 120 bucks.
@@madthrasher88ppl don't understand him. It's a cruel world... We've gotta realize we are all different and be ok with that. Not every pro skateboarder has to follow some kind of set of rules or regs this isn't NBA or MLB (yet...). If Forrest keeps putting out footy, he will get boards and boxes fr whoever he wants. But he deserves $$$$ for how great his art is. Hmmm might have to go back to paying for videos... I would t mind. PS: reissue that Zero Black Jesus deck that's a great graphic
@@aiwendil83 i understand that, i just hate how stuck up ppl can be. thats why i love my hometown, go anywhere down south in CA and all you find at the parks is mediocre skaters that think they own the world because the have dickies and fresh janoskis from their daddys day job. at least around my hometown we respect everybody who skates, and it's very easy to spot someone from out of town here (usually from their rude demeanor). I would pay for a new skate vid anyday! shit if they still made full box sets dvd and tape, that would be the coolest ever!!!
Isai Razo for who? at the moment he's flow for Zero and something else, he was pro for Threat but it went out of business and now he's just flow for the mother company (Zero)
this is the stupidest thing i've ever read. there are tons of pros who vanish from the radar just after a couple of years. Then explain me why Forrest is not pro, doesn't have a deck for Zero and he just receives free stuff, just explain me please because I'm curious.........
***** idiot, that profile says "Last Update: Thursday, October 17, 2013", in the meanwhile Threat went out of business! Anyways a pro is someone who gets paid to skateboard and has a pro model out in the shops, when those two conditions cease to exist therefore a skater is not pro anymore. Cab and Alva for what i know still have old boards reissues with their name on it, Berra doesn't have a board anymore, he's busy with the Berrics and couldn't give a fuck about being pro. Anyways the first two are legend status, you can't compare them to Forrest Edwards. You are just a silly kid who just failed to come with a decent reply because all you could do is check out SPOT's skaters profiles because you know nothing. I skate since 25 years and you little 5050 kid in the park can't tell me i know nothing about skateboarding.
forrest is one of the best to ever do it.I dont know him but I have been part of the skate industry & no matter if your better thsn Nyjah,you got to be able to fit the team,get along on long trips around nothing but guys trying to get thiers,and be humble
To be real, this is the first skate video in a long time that gave me shivers. The rail demolition was so on point, and to all the fools saying the music isnt proper: it fits Forrests skating perfectly. Got the nollie back smith, not really trying..
The fact that Toy Machine wont put this dude on makes me not fuck with Toy at all. Forrest is the GOAT please put him on someone. And not a lame ass company like Threat or Zero...
THEmonsterMANguy Indeed I am, Jamie is a skate nazi. He makes skateboarding not fun. U ever wonder why so many ppl leave his brands? Plus Dwindle dist is the the most garbage skate dist on the planet! Worst bullshit chinese wood ever, thats why Cole left he knew dwindle is shit from the days he rode for World Industries and Enjoi.... Nick Boserio just left too, soon they will be out of business.
SSBSTS12 I agree with them having bad boards. However I don't think that zero is a bad company. Yeah many people have left, and like fallen, zero will probably go out of business too. That doesn't make it a bad company though. They had and have a legendary team. Think about Zero coming out with a new video: everyone will probably watch it to hype them skate. The team is great. I can also agree though that I have heard rumors of Jamie Thomas being an skate nazi but I think Forest has and deserves a spot on Zero 100%
THEmonsterMANguy You are right dying to live and misled youth are legendary vids. I guess what i meant to say is they turned in to a bad company when they moved to Dwindle shitsribution and lost half their team. Without Boserio their team is like Jamie, Dane, and Tommy gunz. Oh ya and Windsor just got on and that dude is sick af but i just literally dont fuck with any dwindle companies.
this ideo showed me how HAM forrest goes, and how dope Flatbush ZOMBiES is. 1 year later, forrest's pro, and I just saw flatbush zombies on the west coast the other day. damn lifes trippy
Part VIII After my friends would interact with the community, on the way home all soar and bruised they would be full of joy saying "Oh man I almost had that, can we practice when we get back, I actually like going to the park." Their was this sense of brotherhood and an unspoken respect for everyone because we all knew what the other person had to go through to get to the skill level we were at.
that's what skateboarding is today. Forrest Edwards puts out an AMAZING video part. shit is hot for 3 weeks or less and then it's over. on to the next one. who's the hot shit this week ? ooh nice is some guy I've never really heard of but damn he skates good. he's my new favourite skater. and then it goes like that all the time.
This part stands up today in 2023
This is one of the sickest parts i have ever seen
Deadass
I never seen sk8ing like this I mean he looks as if he were imortal
DA FUCK????
jajajajajajajaj beach
calm down scumbag
this put me on to Flatbush back in 2012 what a great time to have been alive
Same here, been listening since then. Crazy it’s been almost 10 years…
kickflip 50 with a cig in his mouth LOL not even trying haha
That flip front crook though 😮
still watching watching the goat! much love forrest
2020 and still love this part
Amen!
Straight up quality bangers even by today’s standards! 💪
2021 I’m still watching it... Forrest is criminally underrated
@@NittyGritty420 fr
its almost 2025 brother

Forest x Flatbush Zombies... that's rad.
why am i just watching this video now... this guy is crazy. switch game too fire
Reynolds eats fruits
Drink drink drink.....,..even fruits😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah the fruit of his labor
This guy is on a whole other level, it's a shame for whatever reasons he didn't have the kind of career he could have.
thats what the fuck im thinking!
Christopher Santiago i gotta disagree bro, he RIPS SOLO (film himself) to top level tricks, what else could you ask for? “Beyondness”
What's his deal now? Does he ride for anybody?

@@MrFartyman44 he gets flowed boards by Toy Machine & Zero. Pretty sure he’s still on pig wheels.
8 years ago and this is still ahead of it's time in 2020.
He goes to hunt park in cali it’s his local I’m pretty sure and I ate shit into him one time 💀
You know that
Enjoy kids......Time goes Quick 😢
Still come back to this video before I go out and skate. Can’t believe it’s been 11 years.
Gnarly Part
damn its so good to listen to Flatbush while skating!
Forrest Edwards is a low-key G. That's all it comes down to..
True
one of the best parts ever
Flatbush zombies!
Forest Edwards helped awaken me to my highest self
Wow.
RIP
His tre flip to 50 50 and to 5-0 were flawless!! Looked like a video game haha
God damn forrest! Seen this like 100 times
that treflip to 5-0 tho 2:39
without any doubt one of the best videoparts of 2012
The Flatbush backing... prime!
looks like he learned how to smile
He was smiling like crazy when slap gave him that 20 dollar per diem for six days all in advance. I always sympathized with the dude since then. No one who's grown up with ample opportunity is that happy to get 120 bucks.
Why is everyone here hating on Forrest Edwards??
Like really once you back lip a 16 stair then you can talk shit. Smh!
Dude, he doesn't even talk shit.... he just takes the piss. people don't get his humour
@@madthrasher88ppl don't understand him. It's a cruel world... We've gotta realize we are all different and be ok with that. Not every pro skateboarder has to follow some kind of set of rules or regs this isn't NBA or MLB (yet...).

switch flip bs lip on a proper rail and this guy now is only flow for a bunch of companies????
i think thats not interresting for him
he just wanna skate
that is why is so good
Hes pro lol
Isai Razo
for who? at the moment he's flow for Zero and something else, he was pro for Threat but it went out of business and now he's just flow for the mother company (Zero)

Just imagine how huge the kickflip is at 1:26 considering this man can throw hard tricks down huge stairs.
Have to come back to this part, it's been 5 years mannnn wow
The kid is a textbook case study of how to completely fuck your career in the ass by being an absolute prick of a human. Good part though lol.
Does the filmer purposely choose the damn sun-angle every time?
This dude is fucking amazing
Switch flip back lip. Unreal
forrest is one of the best to ever do it.I dont know him but I have been part of the skate industry & no matter if your better thsn Nyjah,you got to be able to fit the team,get along on long trips around nothing but guys trying to get thiers,and be humble
Pushing the limits again and again. That was pure skateboarding - jawdropping.
To be real, this is the first skate video in a long time that gave me shivers. The rail demolition was so on point, and to all the fools saying the music isnt proper: it fits Forrests skating perfectly.
Got the nollie back smith, not really trying..
ahh shit they got fbz on a vid finally
monster video crazy ass
My favorite skater right now!! Nothing but bangers and his style is sick too!!
this is the kind of video you have to watch 2 or 3 times to assimilate the sickness
Could’ve been one of the greats but the industry shut him out. Say what you want whether he’s an asshole or not but he was great.
huuuge backside 3 down the set near the end. takes balls
i know i wud!
***** he smokes ciggaretes but weed to ha
The fact that Toy Machine wont put this dude on makes me not fuck with Toy at all. Forrest is the GOAT please put him on someone. And not a lame ass company like Threat or Zero...
You're calling Zero a "lame ass company" tf?

don't forget Tony Cervantes! or did he leave?
his swich trics r so clean and shit u cant even tell if hes goofy or regulr... simply amazing
this ideo showed me how HAM forrest goes, and how dope Flatbush ZOMBiES is.
1 year later, forrest's pro, and I just saw flatbush zombies on the west coast the other day. damn lifes trippy
that song was just horrible
flatbush zombies are the shit get the fuck outta here with that
one line from the song was really good when he said bong rip until my soul lifts catch a holy ghost .
Seb Felix hell yeah man!
Get your poser, phone using more than you skate, having ass out of here. The skating matters more than the song.
lol nah fbz is just one of my favorite groups tho
You just made my day. I can finally sleep now that I know hes pro. Thank you.
Skated with him today at a skatepark in riverside he was tearing everything up hes a beast!
Still watchin dat vid, forrest is so underrated
Best part ive seen this year so far
Next level stuff still, switch flip back lip!! I forgot how gnarly this guy was, used to see him skate hunt park in riverside back in the day
the only time he smiles is when he lands his trixs...he so fuckin gnarly
Flatbush & forrest Edwards, best combo i hav seen :D
This part should be goated tbh. Amongst others
tre flip 5-0 at the end is one of the greatest tricks in skateboarding history. Tech + Knar =
The switch flip back lip was insane!!!
video gives me good vibes
One of the sickest video parts, i have ever seen.
Definetly one of my favorite parts from last year
i like how when he does a rotation he always does it at the perfect speed for a clean landing, and very rarely has to tweak it to land straight
This whole video is a banger.
Its about time! He just turned pro for threat! So stoked he deserved it for the longest time!
Still an absolute Gem❤
that was a good part. hes got power and plenty of style with gnarly tricks....job done
Greatest part ive ever seen, seriously amazing
1:56 that switch frontside flip
i love his tre flips into things, badass skater.
that switch flip back lip is too nice
I love how after a bunch of tricks in the part, he rides away smiling. That's tight
wow sick part.. that ender tre 5-0 on clipper is so perfect..
Awesome music!! awesome skating!! bad ass dude takin shots and shit this is DOPE
One of the best dudes right now
All of these tricks are bangers
So sick that he played FBZ for the part
Same with the ender he's the only skater doing 3 flip grinds flawlessly on huge rails
Was skating poly high in riverside with the homies yesterday he came up with his film crew an did switch smith on the 10 stair rail there it was clean
combine this part w/ his one in Wild Power and you have the best single skate part in history. I challenge anyone to name one better
Is this the best skate part of all time?
Brilliant skater, he deserves everything he no doubt has coming to him. A real natural.
Flatbush Zombies + Forrest Edward = OG Steeze
I did not think this vid was gonna be this good! Wow!!
dudes got the best switch bs flips ive eva seent
Them tres into rails is fucking scary! Mad props Forrest definitely deserves to be more out there!
the switch fs tail and kickflip back 5-0 are so nice
favorite part right now!!!
Part VIII
After my friends would interact with the community, on the way home all soar and bruised they would be full of joy saying "Oh man I almost had that, can we practice when we get back, I actually like going to the park." Their was this sense of brotherhood and an unspoken respect for everyone because we all knew what the other person had to go through to get to the skill level we were at.
I love how they add 'tape effects' in the intro when this is actually filmed on tapes haha
maddest dude, top in one in a milli.
This part is the greatest part of all time.
Iol every time he stomps a trick he does the gangster lean and smiles for the camera. dope part.
last 3 clips were insane
Can't help but want to skate after watching this.
He could have been one of the rawest pros if he stayed on it. To bad man, to bad. Unbelievable talent.
goose bumps
every fuckin time i watch this.
that's what skateboarding is today. Forrest Edwards puts out an AMAZING video part. shit is hot for 3 weeks or less and then it's over. on to the next one. who's the hot shit this week ? ooh nice is some guy I've never really heard of but damn he skates good. he's my new favourite skater. and then it goes like that all the time.
Still the hardest skate clip I’ve ever seen
VERY proper ender.
Sick part. Backside 3 stomped like never before.
Anyone know the shoes he where’s? Especially those green ones or the red ones he wore in the Slap contest?
this is sooooo sick!
