Reese Forbes
Reese Forbes was born in Gaithersburg, Maryland, in 1976 and came up skating Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC, turning pro in the mid-1990s and riding for Element. He was one of the early riders on Nike SB, whose denim Dunk Low made with Natas Kaupas in 2002 became one of the most sought-after SB releases. He later ran Quiksilver's skate team and relaunched Stacks as a skateboarding school.
