Short Biography

A true East Coast powerhouse and an official O.G. of Washington D.C.’s Pulaski Park scene, Reese has been influencing the skateboarding populous for years. His powerful style and freight train speed has kept him on fellow pros’ favorites lists for over a decade. His epic part in Dan Wolfe’s Eastern Exposure 3 showed the world true East Coast style with maching lines through Pulaski, pole jams, and shralping on any chunk of urban terrain. Reese is known for his enormous pop too, and was the reason for the rebirth of the high ollie contest in 2000, the Reese Forbes High Ollie Challenge. Reese continues to skate big and fast and is influencing a whole new generation of skate rats.

201 Mulberry Launch Party Photos

by mramirez

The launch party for 201 Mulberry went off Saturday night without a hitch. The private gathering was small and intimate, celebrating a unique skate shop in the heart of Manhattan, only open for a limited time. Guests included close friends and family of the players involved with 201 Mulberry – from Billy Rohan’s friends and affiliates of Run My Game Productions, to the Autumn crew, to the local skaters friendly with Quiksilver team-riders Jake Johnson, Tim O’Connor, Alex Olson, Reese Forbes and David Clark. Everyone had something different to say, but one common sentiment was that “it is too bad this shop is only open for eight days!”
