STEVIE BELL - WORDS OF WISDOM

On the beach...

"You know, fuck going to the beach. I don't need to be in the water with all the sharks that are out. I look just like a seal swimming around in the ocean."

JONI MALMI AND EDDIE WALL IN SOCAL

Ahhhh summertime... And what better place for a pro snowboarder to spend the off-season than the sunny beaches of Southern California. Forum team riders Eddie Wall and Joni Malmi have been soaking in tons of rays lately, but left the sandy beaches and salt water behind for a night to celebrate the birthday of their favorite (Forum) Team Manager. Here're a few shots from the evening's festivities.

FORUM WEEK AT CAMP OF CHAMPIONS

IDAHO AIR / FACIAL HAIR

The frigid months of old man winter are long gone and it's time for most snowboarders to clean-up, and shed their cranial insulation. Check out the transformation of Foregional rider, Martin Campbell, as he prepared to depart Idaho for a summer in South America (where there's snow, but warmer, nevertheless).

ANOTHER FOR'AM COMING OF AGE TALE

Proms seem to be a popular place for amateur snowboarders to kick it these days. Here's a quick pic of For'am Austen Sweetin with his date on the big night.

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.
