Jack Of All Trades.

*WAIT FOR VIDEO BELOW TO LOAD*

Before I decided I wanted to pursuit my passion for fashion, I worked a full time construction job. I know, its odd to see someone like me in construction, but you gotta do what you gotta do to put food on your table and I was damn good at it too. Needless to say, I hated that job and only did it to survive, but out all of the jobs/careers I’ve had (McDonald’s, Car Washer at Subaru/Volkswagen, Cart Pusher at Target, Usher at a movie theatre, College student, etc.), I would have to admit that construction taught me the most skills as a man and to use in everyday life. At Forever Ashbury., we believe in doing everything ourselves, because at the end of the day, if something isn’t done correctly, you can only blame YOURSELF and if you want the job done right the first time, do it YOURSELF. This company only consists of us two.

To rekindle our love for skateboarding and keep active, we decided to build a fun box/bench, which was a replica of one that one of our friend’s dad made for us when we used to skate an empty parking lot at the Bank of America after hours as a kid. We also built a ramp out of the left over wood (Go Purple!). And to follow the title, Jack of All Trades, everything about this video is about US, from the recording, editing, building and skating. We hope it gives you an insight to show you that we’re more complex than just fashion, We are Forever Ashbury., period.
