FOA PRINTOUTS - BEHIND THE SCENES INTRO SHOOT

Not sure what these are called in the high tech world of digital recording, but here are some printouts (that have been scanned, clipped, cropped, and positioned) from the Forum or Against'em rider intro shoots.

FOA EUROPEAN TOUR STOP IN ZURICH

Here are some photos from the Zurich premiere of Forum or Against'em. This event went down (by the time you read this) a few weeks ago, but who gets sick of a little chilling, partying, and fanning out - the stuff that follows any movie premiere, anywhere in the world.

FORUM FRIDAYS VIDEO WITH STEVIE BELL

In conjunction with the release of Forum or Against’em, this exclusive clip is part of the Forum Fridays project – select clips, not part of the final cut, but worthy of your viewing pleasure.

This installment captures the backcountry and booter attack of Stevie Bell. Although many of these shots did not make the final cut, Stevie is exceedingly committed to making it happen in the Whistler backcountry and beyond.

Forum or Against’em is Forum’s fifth team-video release, upholding the progression of an acknowledged movie-making process that has produced prior noteworthy films. The video can be downloaded for $5.99 in the United States iTunes store.

FOA PREMIERE IN SIERRA SNOWBOARD

The night that Forum or Against'em was set to premiere in Sierra Snowboard, the 1000+ venue was, well, it was sold out by noon. That's because the folks at Forum are such HUGE SELL OUTS!!!

Anyway, with such an anticipated turnout, John Jackson, Travis Kennedy, and Stevie Bell headed to Sacremento for the usual session of shaking hands and kissing babies (along with signing autographs, and throwing high-fives to the fans).

THE EASTERN BOARDER VIDEO PREMIERES WITH FOA

New England is getting a bit colder, and with the anticipation of snow falling in the forecast, the pre-season stoke is at an all time high. Needless to say, a (Massachusetts) massive showing of Forum or Against'em coincided with the Eastern Boarder Video premiere. With Guinness pints flowing and a vast array of North Eastern accents livening the scene, crowds gathered to see the Forum Team, and Foregional Rider, Chris Carr, close out Eastern Boarder's Project.

FOA PREMIERE IN REDDING CALIFORNIA

Here's a little coverage from the recent Forum or Against'em premiere at Boardmart in Redding, CA. The shop hasn't hosted a show in over 8 years... Needless to say, FOA and the Nor Cal Forum crew was a fine choice to come out of retirement with.

FOA (FINAL) EUROPEAN TOUR STOP IN BARCELONA

There was a bus ride, some down time, a club, a premiere, autograph signings, drinks, dancing, partying, and an official end to the European Forum or Against'em Tour. That's it, "that's what it's all about".

FORUM FRIDAYS WITH JAKE BLAUVELT ON TRANSWORLD

In conjunction with the release of Forum or Against’em, this exclusive clip is part of the Forum Fridays project – select clips, not part of the final cut, but worthy of your viewing pleasure.



This installment features a whole bunch of additional footage of the natural, fluid style of Jake Blauvelt. Besides having a two-part ender of the film, Blauvelt is sitting on a long catalog of clips like this. Bravo!

Forum or Against’em is Forum’s fifth team-video release, upholding the progression of an acknowledged movie-making process that has produced prior noteworthy films. The video can be downloaded for $5.99 in the United States iTunes store.

FOA EUROPEAN TOUR STOP IN FRANCE

On the hot drive to France, the Forum Team was fortunate enough to take a break and, well, do a little wake surfing to cool down – as if the hangovers and jet lag of European movie premiere travel doesn't mess with your head. After getting out of the water, the usual premiere/party antics ensued. Aaaaggghhh yeah.

FOA EUROPEAN TOUR STOP AT MUNICH AND INNSBRUCK

The team awoke in Munich at Badeanstalt, a huge club that was converted from an in-ground swimming pool. With millions, potentially billions of people in attendance, things heated up quickly. Unfortunately, the old pool didn't help much in terms of a cool down for the sweaty maniacs in attendance.



With Innsbruck being Forum's European home front, it was no surprise that The Weekender Club was bound to go off. Forum or Against'em was shown on four separate levels of the party, so the team had a lot of ground to cover in one night. Needless to say, shit was handled. Is this a claim, or what?

FORUM OR AGAINST'EM AVAILABLE AT iTUNES STORE

The title of this post sums up the news, but for those of you looking for a high quality download, get on over to the United States iTunes stores to download Forum's latest feature film for $5.99 USD.

FOA EUROPEAN TOUR STOP AT ANTWERP

Cafe Capital in Antwerp hosted the kick-off to the Forum or Against'em tour through Europe. With 500 people in attendance, the premiere and party kicked well through the late hours of the night with a product toss, BBQ, and dancing (you know how those Euros get). Things broke up at 3am and the team shipped off for their next stop in Munich.

ROAD READY CALIFORNIA LOVE - COME AND GET 'EM

Forum's California Sales Force has added a new addition to it's promotional crew. Not in terms of "man-power" per say, but have a look at some of the wheelings and dealings and assorted meets / meats and greets that will be hitting the concrete wasteland. So yeah, if you are into snowboard videos (hint: Forum or Against'em), bar-be-que, beer, and full flavored parties, then you'll undoubtedly have to come see the Amazing Dewey and his mystical meat-wagon. No need to be AGAINST'EM' cause this is 100% Forum.

FORUM PHOTO SHOOT IN PORTLAND

FORUM OR AGAINST'EM (WORLD) PREMIERE IN PORTLAND

Forum Snowboards recently let loose FORUM OR AGAINST'EM to the world in downtown Portland, Oregon. Media moguls and various snowboard types alike (along with the entire Forum Team) attended the event. Taking place at a comfortable little situation entitled The Living Room Theater, two viewings were shown, a helping of food was gobbled and one hefty bar tab was maxed. Now, it's time for you to feast your eyes on the situation. All other premiere stops can be found here.
