VOTE Forum Youngblood, Niki Korpela, for Finnish Rider of the Year. His two banger shots (frontside 12 / frontside double-cork) in FOREVER earned him a nomination by the powers that be.

note:
The site is in finnish, but the question you’re looking at is #9. Don’t be afraid!

Forum Fridays comes to you as an extension of Forum’s most recent team-inspired snowboarding release, FOREVER. While the footage is admirable, it was dropped on the cutting room floor, but swept back up for your visual indulgence.

Pat Moore & Stevie Bell, alongside The Youngblood crew of Cameron Pierce, Niko Cioffi, Niki Korpela, Austen Sweetin, and Ethan Morgan, spent a few weeks in Mammoth filming on all sorts of different features. Some shots made their way into FOREVER while some, well, didn’t. Not to be thrown to the pits of video-Hell for all eternity, they have found salvation here on TWS. Enjoy.

FOREVER is Forum’s sixth team-video release, and is now available on DVD and in the iTunes Store.

Forum Youngblood, Niki Korpela, did the usual media tour of soCal on his recent trip to the States. One such media stop was at Snowboarder Magazine where he kindly signed their guestbook…and found this nude spread of Burt Reynolds in Pat Bridges’s desk.

Oh yeah

Niki Korpella turned 18 while on a shoot in Mammoth, and in traditional fashion, was welcomed into adulthood by his fellow teammates.

editor’s note: the first portion of the video was actually filmed in Finland, where drinking is legal at 18.
