We had the good fortune of connecting with Forsaken Profits and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Forsaken, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
It’s a cosmic mix of action of the ’80s combined with the exploitation films of the 70’s, but with modern touches. It’s hyperviolence, but it knows what it is. It’s a bit Tarantino, definitely a bit Michael Mann. It’s sort of a cosmic gumbo. It almost moves to the beat of jazz.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
‘Art is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone will have their own interpretation.’

What you are most proud of or excited about?
-We are always excited about SKATOPIA

How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy?
-Live for today, gone tomorrow. Nothing worth having comes easy.

How did you overcome the challenges?
-One day at a time. Learn from mistakes & adapt.

What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way
-Fish don’t fry in the kitchen.

What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
-Skate Fast Eat Ass
