Forum riders Pat Moore and Stevie Bell have been getting a little www editorial love:

First off, European based Onboard Global Snowboarding Magazine asked Pat Moore a few questions about this and that.

Next comes Transworld, whom chimes in with Stevie Bell and the real deal about this past season. Be sure to check it out and leave a comment amongst the haters and lovers.

Peter Line banger in Mt. Hood. Don’t call it a comeback…

It’s that time of year where the weather starts cooling down, people shift from hot to cold thinking, and the pre-season rail jam becomes an evident fact that winter is creeping around the corner. Setting the bar pretty high, Bear Mountain started the (pre)season off with a banger. So banging, that For’am Greg Bretz, along with Foregional Riders, Kyle Lopiccolo and Ben Bogart, decided to make the trek and check it out.

The Source, located in Calgary, AB Canada happened to be such Slayer and Pat Moore fans, that they dedicated an entire window display to the glorious union that Forum put together. If you’re going to be in the Calgary area, be sure to stop by and throw the horns up.

Or, check out the Pat Moore / Slayer board right here.

Snowboarder Magazine (dot com) recently had a little sit down with Eddie Wall, and squared away some pending questions - twenty of them, packaged in little something entitled Vital 20.

So, after you read up over at Snowboarder’s site, compare the questions and answers found there against the ones found on Eddie’s team page on the Forum site.

Forum’s Utah representative, Brock Harris, chimes in with a phrase that just might change your day.

“When life gives you lemons you take a bamboo log across life’s face!”

…And there you have it. When riding around Utah, be sure tell Brock how manly he is. This is what he looks like in snow gear:

“2” is a traveling photography exhibit featuring the works of Forum Staff Photographers, Ian Ruhter and Cole Barash. The exhibit is being put on by Snowboard Magazine, so to get the full update and see some some of great photos from the industries finest, follow this link to their website.

If you haven’t followed up on the previous post mentioning Peter Line’s “new” (actually, first) website, it might be a good time to browse on over to check things out. Below are some daily paintings and sketches that Pete has uploaded, and you can find plenty more content directly at PEETARD.COM

That’s a wrap for FORUM OR AGAINST’EM. With the master in hand, and final packaging under way, it won’t be long until you feast your eyes on it. With the close of the edit, the dust has settled and the editing suite has been vacated. Below you can see what was left… which isn’t much more than a photo of the editing crew, some video notes, and the vacant remains of a place that has been bustling with activity for the entire summer

The kinda/sorta pixelated image that is represented below is actually a screenshot from the highly anticipated Forum or Against’em snowboard flick. Consider this nugget of imagery part of an ongoing “stoke series” before the release of the film.

This is some media coverage from the October 2008 issue of Snowboard Magazine. Highlights include Travis Kennedy’s new Forum Ad, a Pat Moore Gallery Spread, and a Suburban Blend shop ad featuring Nic Sauve.

Yobeat.com posted a meaty interview with Forum Team Rider, Peter Line featuring past and present nitty-gritty from the mind of Line.

Here are a few shots of Jake, taken at the Forum office, signing off on all his recent coverage, and checking out his “3 Days with…” section of the newest Transworld.

New Zealand Forum Rider, Rowland Morley-Brown, has the cover on the newest (and actually last) issue of this year’s New Zealand Snowboarder. Within the contents you will also find three more photos of “RMB” along with a full page shot of NZ Teammate, Chris Blinkhorne.

Peter Line dropped by the Forum office and thought everyone should know that he’s got a new (actually, his first) website. That’s right, a digital version of his editorial Colon can be seen at peetard.com.

Travis caught a glimpse of Nic Sauve’s recent adventure to Thailand, and not to be completely one-upped, wanted to share his vacationing time in Hawaii with the world. Here you have it.

Pete states:
“Three months later, my toenail finally fell off.”
