"You are amazing just the way you are. I'm sure as you grow, you'll nurture, and get a whole new experience from all the beautiful vids/pics you'll be taking. And you'll get the recognition from all around the corner. It'll take time babe, but you'll excel. Insyaallah."

True BMX

Such a chill video. Gotta buck up on my editing.

INSAAAANNNNEEE!!

Local fixie heroes Crank Arm Steady had the kind heart to post up my El Jefe skate vid on their website! This is awesome news to me cause they are quite renowned regionally as a fixie group and also because I have always been a fan of their videos! Still in shock about this bit of news. Hopefully we can work something out and I will be able to shoot them a video soon! Sooo psyyyyched! Shoutout to Crank Arm Steady for the mad support! Keep riding and stay safe!

Check out the post and their website here!

Haaah! Impromptu photoshoot below the block. It's so fun just to crash a place and set up our mini studio and shoot some insane looking pics!

Mod Sun - Paradisity

This guy have really made a difference in my life. Some people have questioned me how I can always be happy and worry free. It's all a matter of perception I suppose. Focus on the right stuffs and look past the minor things. Ask yourself this, why spend your days complaining about trivial stuffs all the time?

This song is like the epitome of happiness and positivity. Makes me smile everytime I listen to it. The beat and melody is insaaaane! Let's go people! Jump on the positive bandwagon! Live your life with a smiiiiile!

Cloud nine & I aint ever goin back
Live ONCE, do everything TWICE
I don’t call it life, this is paradise

finding something to do
me and chelsea have been together for about two thousand, two hundred and eighty four days. thats a lot of days of sitting around asking "what do you wanna do?". this song is about getting used to, and really happy about, the prospect of sitting around doing nothing for the next twenty five thousand, two hundred and fifty days.

the thoughts that give me the creeps
normally i feel pretty good about everything in my life. i have somebody who loves me and i try to be the kinda person that deserves it. but sometimes you sort of close your eyes and you can't help but think, "what if i don't deserve it? what if its not even real? what if i open my eyes and it turns out i live alone in a studio apartment in van nuys and all i have is my collection of miniaturized carousel horses?". theres those dreams where you win the lottery and it seems so real and then you wake up and you still feel like you have all that money for like 20 seconds. but you realize you totally don't. what if our relationship is like that? anyways, i'm pretty sure inception stole this idea from me.

something you misplaced
sort of another topic that gets touched on alot in this record is doubt. you never really know where a relationship is headed, you never really know what someone else is thinking. also, i am insaaanely forgetful. i lose everything all the time. i don't leave the house with out looking for my wallet, phone and keys... each individually... for like 10 minutes each. on the new found glory tour last fall i set my computer bag down so i could chuck my suitcase into the trailer and then i happily got in the van and we drove away while my laptop, wallet, ipod, ext. hard drive etc etc sat on the sidewalk in super skecthy richmond, VA or somewhere (can't even remember what city it was). in our relationship, there was a moment or two (maybe just for 30 minutes before leaving the house on a few occasions) when it sorta seemed like our love fell out of a hole in our pockets and we were scrambling around looking for it. maybe a hobo found it and was using it to buy beer... maybe it ended up under a pile of adult diapers and hot dogs in some hoarders house and we'll see it uncovered on a&e... turns out my backpack was actually on my back the whole time and thats why i couldn't find it! isn't that always how it is?
love, forrest

Mutiny Bikes - 7 Bangers With Simpson

I recently had the chance to try riding a BMX while shooting at East Coast Skatepark. I think I'm beginning to get more interested in the field of BMX. So tempted to try shooting a BMX video! Anyways, I got to see how fantastic a tailwhip looks like with my own eyes. Some local dudes can really bike. The hang time of a BMX can really melt my heart. Check out some siiiiiiick tricks done by Justin Simpson in the video above!
