MODA 3 BOARDFEST / RAIL JAM RESULTS

Here are a few snapshots from the 2008 MODA3 Rail Jam / Boardfest that took place in Milwaukee. Not too shabby of a set-up, and a great turnout for a killer shop event. On a side note, Foregional Rider Alex Ulyankin took top honors finishing first in the days event. Nice work for the one they call "The Russian".

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.

GRUDGE NEW ERA HAT FEATURED IN THE SOURCE

The October issue of The Source featured Forum's Grudge New Era Hat in its Easy Rider photo shoot described as "Tough, Rebellious and Iconic." So, there you have it.

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.
