Nic Sauve passed on staying in Quebec City this summer, opting for a retreat to the exotic landscape of Thailand. Nic, along with his girlfriend (sorry ladies), spent five solid weeks exploring the beaches and jungles in search of vacation excitment.

Pat Moore recently dropped into the Forum office and with that, answered some questions about his season filming for Forum or Against’em. Here’s a few things Pat would like you to know:

FAVORITE TRIP - Whistler, all season
CLOSEST CALL - Hitting the double-cork Jump in Whistler
INJURIES - Knee-tweaks and Head Bashes
FLYER MILES - Over 70,000
TRAVEL BUDGET SPENT - You don’t even want to know
FUNNIEST STORIES - Too many to list, but they all involve Kennedy

If you need a little more on Moore, head over to the TWS site for a little how-to on a lip trick entitled the tripods.

“Oh napping bum on my doorstep, your Icehouse is getting warm.”

A snippet of video footage from Forum or Against’em. Although it features no action and no team riders, you will probably like it, nevertheless.

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.

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.

“Little Jake Welch has hair in his pits. He’s all grown up.”

Pat Moore’s Signature Session at HCSC was not to be missed. It was so good, in fact, that Forum Teammates decided to attend camp and take part in some of the festivities.. While there, Pat was joined by Peter Line, Eddie Wall, Jake Blauvelt, Jake Welch, and For’am, Austen Sweetin – whom all enjoyed some post-spring conditions, chilling with the campers, signing autographs, and testing / tweaking some prototypes.

Pete states:
“GPS of where I’m at. This is a screenshot from my iPhone.”

A snippet of video footage from Forum or Against’em. Featuring Forum rider John Jackson. Also featuring no action, just a simple snippet to keep the stoke alive.
