FORUM AT HOT DAWGS AND HANDRAILS

It's that time of year where the weather starts cooling down, people shift from hot to cold thinking, and the pre-season rail jam becomes an evident fact that winter is creeping around the corner. Setting the bar pretty high, Bear Mountain started the (pre)season off with a banger. So banging, that For'am Greg Bretz, along with Foregional Riders, Kyle Lopiccolo and Ben Bogart, decided to make the trek and check it out.

SOME DOWN TIME IN HOOD

A few guys have been stationed in Mt. Hood, waiting out the weather in hopes of getting some late-spring park shots for the upcoming Forum or Against'em video. Since it's been pouring almost nonstop since they've arrived, this is what's been going on to keep everyone occupied.

GREG BRETZ NOMINATED PROM KING

Well, not really, but here's a shot of the For'am all spruced-up and ready to do whatever needs to be done on prom night.

GREG BRETZ AND TREVOR JACOB AT NORTHSTAR

For'ams Trevor Jacob, and Greg Bretz are currently posted up in Lake Tahoe for a private pipe-shoot at Northstar-at-Tahoe. The youngsters are working on some shots for the upcoming video and getting some photos with Forum's own, Cole Barash.

WCI 2008

Mammoth locals Greg Bretz and Trevor Jacob were joined by fellow For'am members Cameron Pierce and Niko Cioffi for the annual West Coast Invitational and Fiesta De La Pipa situated in Mammoth, California.


They definitely shined in the competition, but unfortunately, not bright enough to walk away with any cash in the winner take-all-event. So yeah, there's not much to update when nobody wins anything. Just chow down on some photos from the weekend's event, and wash it down with some Corona while you enjoy your Cinco de Mayo.

THE LAUNCH

Snowboarder Magazine took their tried-and-true Superpark formula and created an atmosphere where the youngest generation of up-and-coming riders could prove themselves.


Entitled The Launch, it was held at Northstar-at-Tahoe and featured For'ams Greg Bretz, Trevor Jacob, along with Northwest Foregional Rider Austen Sweetin. Check out the pics and/or this link that brings you to the Day 3 story on the Snowboarder site.

DROPPIN' F BOMBS / NORTHSTAR AT TAHOE AND BRIGHTON

DROPPIN' F BOMBS - NORTHSTAR
A sizable midweek crew came together at Northstar-at-Tahoe for a detonating demonstration of explosive snowboarding, bomb sliding, gut bombing, and bomb dropping. Chris Bartkowski brought home a Forum Destroyer Snowboard for being the first to 50/50 540 off the missile. Cody Boan got some Forum boots for a nose-press f/s 360 off the firecracker stick, and Andrew Brewer received Forum bindings for his f/s Chuck Norris Chop b/s 450 revert off the upright F Bomb.

DROPPIN' F BOMBS - BRIGHTON
Meanwhile, over at Brighton, Utah over 100+ contestants signed-up to test their skills against the F Bombs. Ben Farrell was rewarded Forum bindings for his 50-50 to Bennihana off the missile jib. Alex Andrews will be stomping around in some Forum boots for his cab 450/450 out on the firecracker stick, and Christian Hobush will be jibbing in style on a brand new Forum Youngblood for his 360 nose bonk on the upright F Bomb. Mucho gut bombs were served, so one should shudder to think what the Brighton bathrooms looked like. But, the biggest explosions came after the contest when Brighton lit-up a fireworks show in celebration of all the bombs being dropped.

SUPER SESSION

Peter Line and Daniel Ek met up with For’ams Niko Cioffi and Cameron Pierce at The Summit-at-Snoqualmie for a Snowboarder Magazine “Super Session.” The park crew put together some unique features and let the team have-at-it for the better part of a week, documenting the action for a magazine issue to be released next fall. The Super Session also coincided with the Annual Holy Oly Revival, where the crew sessioned one of the finest quarterpipes the Northwest has ever seen.

SESSION AT SQUAW

A crew of emerging Forum riders (aka the For'am Team) made their way to Squaw Valley, California for a park and pipe photoshoot. There's really not much more to report than that, so if you feel inclined, check these photos of Daniel Ek, Trevor Jacobs, Niko Cioffi and Cameron Pierce.
