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.

ALTERNATIVE BOARDSHOP WINDOWS IN QUEBEC

If you find yourself in Quebec and are looking for something other than a helping of poutine, head over to Alternative Board Shop and pick up some new Forum goods. If you're not currently in the market, at least have a look at the mighty fine Forum displays that are covering storefront windows.

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".

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?

BLAUVELT AND MOORE INTERVIEWED BY METHOD MAG

Pat Moore

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.

IAN RUHTER PHOTO GALLERY ON TWS SNOW

Forum Staff Photographer, Ian Ruhter, posted a photo gallery on Transworld Snowboarding's website featuring a plethora of pics (and informative captions) taken during the filming of Forum or Against'em.

"The things that really bother me about my job are also the things I love. I believe that I made the decision to do this with my life subconsciously. The things that I have seen and been a part of have changed my life forever. The snowboard community is the most dysfunctional group of people in the world. We’re anything but normal. That is why we’re all working together. Where else can you be free to express yourself in any way and be accepted? If you don’t fit in to society and you’re not considered a normal person, then come join us. We will welcome anyone who doesn’t want to be put into a cookie-cutter mold. Normal will never measure up to being extraordinary. That is what we are."
