Not sure if it's just Luck of the Irish, or his blazing spinning-speed that set Pat's scalp ablaze, but Forum's red-headed wonder boy was the over-all victor in the First Annual Snowboarder Magazine SPIN TO WIN Contest for America's Next Top Pro Model. Nice work Patty Cakes. If you're still dizzy, pick yourself up some Dramamine.

The curtains have gone down, and filming for FOREVER has come to a close. It’s now time to set the sights on the finished product. With that noted, veteran Forum Editor, Jeremy Pettit, along with Motion Graphics Wizard, Mike Bishop, have set-up base camp in an undisclosed Southern California location (actually, its in a kinda/sorta a dream home base for most surf bros, located in the vacinity of Trestles parking lot). If you're paddling out and happen to see these two in the line-up, tell them to get back to work.

FORUM AT HIGH CASCADE

2009-05-27T09:59:00.000-07:00

Forum Snowboards and High Cascade Join Forces for Summer 2009 and Complete the World’s Second Virtual High Five
BURLINGTON, VT (May 26, 2009) – Forum Snowboards and High Cascade Snowboard Camp are once again partnering up for the 2009 summer season. Along with a Pat Moore/Peter Line signature session, High Cascade will offer several of Forum’s new 2010 products in their demo closet. This means serious business.

“Business is serious and we mean business,” states Forum Brand Manager David Friend. “We even told the GM about this one BEFORE we did it.”

“He did,” adds Sam Paschel, Forum General Manager. “I’m not sure why, though.”

For those looking to get that flowy playful feel with added snap and stability, four of Forum’s boards with new ChillyDog continuous rocker will be available to demo in a range of sizes, including the transition-killing Destroyer ChillyDog and the swashbuckling Scallywag. In addition, the first ten lucky campers per session to get out on a ChillyDog board and experience continuous rocker will get a free Cobra Dog AND an original print made by Peter Line.

“Art is serious business,” says Preston Strout, HCSC Director. “When David said there would be Peter Line art involved, I knew they meant business … serious business.”

Forum will also be debuting its brand new award-winning Shaka binding, allowing the ultimate in natural board flex. And for the first ten campers per session to get out and experience the “Good Vibes” of the Shaka’s hinged disc, they’ll get a pair of Shaka flip-flops.

“I can’t wear flip-flops myself,” states Strout. “My toenails look like dragon teeth. But campers with nice toenails are very fortunate and should display them proudly.”

“I agree 100%,” adds Paschel. “Are you really quoting me about toenails?”

“No,” says Strout. “It’s about business.”

Then the two businessmen combined businesses, forces and souls in only the world’s second virtual high-five. No media was allowed access at the time.

It all went fairly well until, For'am, Niko Cioffi, sunk his sled in the middle of a pond at the bottom of Mammoth. Nice work rookie.

Hood showing this summer where Cobra Dogs may unveil a secret new wiener that will potentially be the best hot dog in all of Government Camp. At the same time, Forum will be unveiling all sorts of new fun for campers to ride including Chilly Dog Continuous Reverse Camber available on several board models, as well as the all-new Shaka binding which naturally comes with a side of good vibes.

2009-03-11T13:32:00.000-07:00

On a recent urban trip, the crew didn't have access to their drop in ramp, so they were forced to construct their own.

JAKE BLAUVELT - PLEASURE INTERVIEW

2009-03-10T14:21:00.000-07:00

In Forum Global News, Jake Blauvelt can be seen gracing the pages of the newest issue of Pleasure. They probably talk about how great of a snowboarder Jake is, and congratulate him on him on his video part in Forum or Against'em. They could alos be talking about the kitten he rescued, or what it's like free-basing maple syrup in Vermont...It's hard to say considering the interview was written in a language that most Americans won't understand. At least you can enjoy the pictures.

The sun was out, but as usual in Minnesota, it was pretty darn cold. The riders warmed things up for everyone and had a great time in the park.
