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 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).

TRAVIS KENNEDY'S LIFE OFF THE LAKE

In the previous Travis Kennedy post, you got an inside look as to what life is like for a professional snowboarder living in Lake Tahoe. When not in Lake Tahoe, the aforementioned Forum Team Rider sometimes likes to spend time vacationing in Hawaii with his girl friend doing all sorts of "touristy" things.

TRAVIS KENNEDY'S LIFE ON THE LAKE

Some people tend to wonder what life is like for a professional snowboarder when they're not snowboarding. If you happen to be a professional snowboarder that's based out of Lake Tahoe (like Travis Kennedy), you'll probably spend the off-season taking fishing trips with your girlfriend, cruising on your brand new wave running vehicle thingy, and/or getting new tattoos.



Glad to see you've been having a good time - it's almost time to get back to work.

FORUM OR AGAINST'EM POST PRODUCTION SHOOT

Forum or Against'em was predominantly filmed in various snow-covered regions (like, duh), but a tiny bit of studio time is always mandatory, especially to add a little spice into the mix. And, what better place to find one of these studios than in the movie making capital known as Hollywood, California.

So yeah, the team came out for a few days to get some post-production work taken care of, and to "fan out" on all the various celebrities they didn't end up seeing. Have a gander at the photos taken on-set by Forum Staff Paparazzi.

ANOTHER DAY IN THE HOOD

After days behind the clouds, the sun finally made a cameo appearance in Mt. Hood. Daniel Ek, Peter Line, Travis Kennedy, and Pat Moore were more than happy to take full advantage of the opportunity, and get some work done for their respective video parts.

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.

Members of the Forum team took an early May trip to Summit at Snoqualmie, WA for miscellaneous video and photo shooting, and although these pictures are a little dated, check out how much snow was left up there.
