Nothing more here than a few extra photo submissions from the Barcelona stop of the Forum or Against’em European Tour. Enjoy yourselves.

Pat Moore is someone you can all ways count on. I spent the whole season shooting with Pat. In that time I got to see a side of him that many people don’t get to see. Pat is all ways willing to lend a hand or help anyone out at any time. He’s actually one of the nicest guys in snowboarding. He gives 100 % every waking moment. Let’s just say he is a very passionate person. Check him out in the Forum movie “Forum or Against ‘Em” and you will see what I mean.
Oh yeah, he is really good at snowboarding too.

Editorial coverage from the December 08 issue of Transworld Snowboarding. Highlights include some beautiful spreads from Jake Welch, Pat Moore, and Jake Blauvelt.

Recent editorial coverage from the December issue of Snowboarder Magazine. Highlights include a story from Japan with Pat Moore, an Up for Grabs with Jake Blauvelt, and Peter Line’s notorious Colon.

Here are some photos from the Zurich premiere of Forum or Against’em. This event went down (by the time you read this) a few weeks ago, but who gets sick of a little chilling, partying, and fanning out - the stuff that follows any movie premiere, anywhere in the world.

If you find yourself in Quebec and are looking for something other than a helping of poutine, head over to Alternative Board Shop and pick up some new Forum goods. If you’re not currently in the market, at least have a look at the mighty fine Forum displays that are covering storefront windows.

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”.

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.

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?

Pat Moore

While busing around Europe for the Forum or Against’em European tour, Jake Blauvelt and Pat Moore spent a few moments with Method Magazine - where they answered various questions about the finer points of their specific snowboarding situation.

Jake Blauvelt

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.

Here is media coverage from the November 2008 issue of Transworld Snowboarding. Highlights include a Backside Disaster Trick Tip from Jake Blauvelt, a Check Out for Foregional Rider Chris Carr, and a hefty helping of editorial/advertising photos from Eddie Wall, Jake Welch, John Jackson and Pat Moore.

Forum Staff Photographer, Ian Ruhter, posted a photo gallery on Transworld Snowboarding’s website featuring a plethora of pics (and informative captions) taken during the filming of Forum or Against’em.

“The things that really bother me about my job are also the things I love. I believe that I made the decision to do this with my life subconsciously. The things that I have seen and been a part of have changed my life forever. The snowboard community is the most dysfunctional group of people in the world. We’re anything but normal. That is why we’re all working together. Where else can you be free to express yourself in any way and be accepted? If you don’t fit in to society and you’re not considered a normal person, then come join us. We will welcome anyone who doesn’t want to be put into a cookie-cutter mold. Normal will never measure up to being extraordinary. That is what we are.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is some Forum media coverage as seen in the October issue of Transworld Snowboarding Magazine. Highlights include “Three Days with Jake Blauvelt”, and Good Wood awards for the Seeker, Substance, Spinster, and Craft.

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.

Pat Moore will be hosting Signature Session 6 at High Cascade Snowboard Camp from August 7-14. If you haven’t already signed up, act quick, as a few other of your favorite Forum riders will be spotted on-hill as well. And, while you’re there, stop by the Cobra Dog Trailer and sink your fangs into Governemnt Camp’s finest Forum Sponsored Dog.

Pete states:
“Here’s Pat enjoying a corn fritter I made him. Now he’s going to make a corn turd”

Pete states:
“Pat Moore giving his brother a lift. If they traded places, you could call this Pat on the back”

In case you’ve forgotten what members of the Forum team look like, the latest installment from Joni Malmi’s digicam should bring you up to speed. Enjoy some head shots of some of the guys that Joni travelled with while filming for Forum’s upcoming movie project Forum or Against’em.

After days behind the clouds, the sun finally made a cameo appearance in Mt. Hood. Daniel Ek, Peter Line, Travis Kennedy, and Pat Moore were more than happy to take full advantage of the opportunity, and get some work done for their respective video parts.

Members of the Forum team took an early May trip to Summit at Snoqualmie, WA for miscellaneous video and photo shooting, and although these pictures are a little dated, check out how much snow was left up there.

Mammoth Mountain hosted this year’s Superpark, entitled “Son of Berzerker”. Pat Moore came down for a few days to meet up with For’ams Greg Bretz, Trevor Jacob, Niko Cioffi, and Cameron Pierce. You’ll have to wait for next season’s issue to drop for all the magazine worthy coverage, but for now, here’s a sneak-peak.

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.
