Original Washington D.C. ripper and long time big ollie powerhouse, Reese Forbes has just become a free agent in the board department. Skate Daily is reporting that Forbes has parted ways with Skate Mental, a company he co-founded with Brad Staba some years back. No word on how the split went down or if Forbes already has something in the works for the future. One thing's for sure, Forbes is still riding for Nike SB and Quiksilver and he can still ollie higher than 99% of people on this planet. After standout video parts in "Easter Exposure 3," Element's "Third Eye View" and most recently, Nike's "Nothing But The Truth, Forbes has got both skills and history behind him. He shouldn't be board-less for long.

"As of today I am no longer working with Rossignol Snowboards. It has been an amazing experience and I want to thank everyone at the company for supporting me the last 19 years. You always gave me the freedom to do what I wanted with my snowboarding. Off the hill I learned a ton about how to develop snowboards from the start all the way to the snowboard shop. This has been my college education.

I want to give a special thanks to Francois Goulet, the North American President. He was pivitol in helping me get Protect Our Winters of the ground and always supported my ideas. It has been an amazing learning experience watching him lead the company.

I have so many great memories from my time with Rossignol and I wish them the best of luck in the future. Hope to see you all in the mountains."
