DROPPIN' F BOMBS / NORTHSTAR AT TAHOE AND BRIGHTON

DROPPIN' F BOMBS - NORTHSTAR
A sizable midweek crew came together at Northstar-at-Tahoe for a detonating demonstration of explosive snowboarding, bomb sliding, gut bombing, and bomb dropping. Chris Bartkowski brought home a Forum Destroyer Snowboard for being the first to 50/50 540 off the missile. Cody Boan got some Forum boots for a nose-press f/s 360 off the firecracker stick, and Andrew Brewer received Forum bindings for his f/s Chuck Norris Chop b/s 450 revert off the upright F Bomb.

DROPPIN' F BOMBS - BRIGHTON
Meanwhile, over at Brighton, Utah over 100+ contestants signed-up to test their skills against the F Bombs. Ben Farrell was rewarded Forum bindings for his 50-50 to Bennihana off the missile jib. Alex Andrews will be stomping around in some Forum boots for his cab 450/450 out on the firecracker stick, and Christian Hobush will be jibbing in style on a brand new Forum Youngblood for his 360 nose bonk on the upright F Bomb. Mucho gut bombs were served, so one should shudder to think what the Brighton bathrooms looked like. But, the biggest explosions came after the contest when Brighton lit-up a fireworks show in celebration of all the bombs being dropped.

DROPPIN' F BOMBS SUMMIT AT SNOQUALMIE

The Northwest produced it’s (almost) patented moist and hazy weather for what proved to be an energetic stop of the Droppin' F Bombs event type thing at Summit at Snoqualmie. The custom course contained a bomb-drop drop-in, mogul minefield and three custom F Bomb jibs.



The unique set-up allowed for serious creativity, where hick-ups (from gut-bomb burritos), hang-ups and stylish bonks were all fair game. After a full days session in the course, a Forum board, boot and binding were rewarded to three worthy competitors.

SUPER SESSION

Peter Line and Daniel Ek met up with For’ams Niko Cioffi and Cameron Pierce at The Summit-at-Snoqualmie for a Snowboarder Magazine “Super Session.” The park crew put together some unique features and let the team have-at-it for the better part of a week, documenting the action for a magazine issue to be released next fall. The Super Session also coincided with the Annual Holy Oly Revival, where the crew sessioned one of the finest quarterpipes the Northwest has ever seen.

SESSION AT SQUAW

A crew of emerging Forum riders (aka the For'am Team) made their way to Squaw Valley, California for a park and pipe photoshoot. There's really not much more to report than that, so if you feel inclined, check these photos of Daniel Ek, Trevor Jacobs, Niko Cioffi and Cameron Pierce.

SIA (DAY) TRADER SHOW

Forum recently attended the SIA show in Las Vegas, where snowsport manufactures, retailers and lurkers came together to check out the latest and greatest in snowsport equipment. Amidst all the skis, sleds, snowboards, boots and bindings, there were scantily clad individuals, copious amounts of booze and numerous other "did you see that" happenings.



The Forum booth held down space G72 (whatever that means) where the theme was Wall Street Day Trading. Buying and selling snowboard equipment was the deal, and needless to say, many deals were had. Forum's 09 equipment is in production – Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until next season to get it.

A LITTLE FYI FOR YA

The Forum Team is still going strong and, well, let’s just say they’re dominating the rail scene in the chilly suburbs of Eastern Canada. These photos show the situation when the action settles down and the behind the scene situations take over.
