Niko Cioffi proudly opened up the Youngblood section of FOREVER this year. He's right back at it again this season, lighting up the streets with his own unique style and charisma. Usually, not too much info is given away via blog on locations, features, or action, but since Niko has been riding like a maniac this year, we decided to share a few choice little nuggets with you.

Part of the Forum Team is posted up somewhere overseas (depending on where you're reading this from), getting their fair share of urban shooting for the year. Nic Sauve and Stevie Bell have taken some of the Youngbloods out for another go at it, and thus far you'd think they were a clumsy crew of carpenters with all the hammers that are getting dropped. Here are some pre/post photos of the trickery to wet your whistle before next year's curtain goes up.

Forum's Staff Photographer, on Data Recovery: "Dear God, please let there be a God" editor's note: this is not good. This is actually, really really bad.

Nic Sauve is a man of many talents. When he's not throwing down hammers on his snowboard, he can sometimes be found swinging one, displaying his carpentry skills. This little piece was put together by Forum Staff Photographer, Tim Peare, and shows Nic and some of the boys (pretty much just Nic) putting together a drop-in ramp for a recent urban trip.

Words and Photo courtesy of Forum Staff Photographer, Tim Peare Winter's back and the Forum team is out on the streets doing work. Every year is different and this year is no exception. On the current trip, we've faced some real challenges and somehow we've managed to keep the moral high and productive. This is a shot of Jake Welch strapping in on a drop in ramp made by Nic Sauve and Austen Sweetin. Jake's flights were all delayed and it took him 30 hours to get here in what should have only took an afternoon. His bags have also been missing the entire trip which means borrowed everything. Good thing you really only need a positive attitude, some friends and a little bit of snow to do what we came here to do. This is going to be a great year!

Not really saying what though...
