BAM! This is the big news of the day! Forum will not only hit next season hard with a sick range of boards but also with one of the best team videos!

Forum Snowboards is proud to present FOREVER, its 6th team-inspired snowboarding film starring Peter Line, Joni Malmi, Eddie Wall, Jake Blauvelt, Pat Moore, John Jackson, Stevie Bell, Jake Welch, Nic Sauve, and up-and-comers Daniel Ek and Niko Cioffi.
With everything you’ve come to expect from Forum, and more that you haven’t, FOREVER documents the life and times of the Forum Team from 5am backcountry calls to midnight street sessions, and everything in between. Created by the makers of such highly acclaimed films as The Resistance, True Life, Video Gangs, That, and Forum or Against’em, this newest release is the next chapter in Forums everlasting legacy. Forever Forum … Forever Snowboarding.

Haven’t seen this board at ISPO or anywhere else. But if the founder of Forum says that’s the graphics of his 2009/10 Forum deck based on the Substance, well we’ll damn believe him. Here’s what Peter Line has to say about it on his blog:

These are the new graphics I did for my 09-010 board series. It’s a goat-bat shooting love lasers into Q-burt land. Basically a metaphor of my childhood- I was a rocker (goat-bat demon love) and played video games at the local arcade (Q-bert) and the love lasers represent the seductive glances I would give all those hotties in Mrs. Smith’s 4th grade class.

Can’t wait to see this deck for real!

After Burton, DC, Rome and Bataleon, we continue our 2010 previews posts with Forum.
Forum was also present at the Snow Avant Premiere so I got to ride the Pat Moore promodel!
In 2010 Pat Moore follows up on his co-branded Slayer graphics with another sick emo-slatanic design signed by Scott Lenhardt, with blood splattered all over the deck.
Seems that the graphics are the main difference with this year’s model as the size and shape are similar and the mid flex stiffness as well. But why change a deck that rides so good? Since it’s a directional twin, you can really ride the board hard and get great response and stability. But the softer flex makes it also cool when it comes to jib tricks.
Next to the tested and approved Pat Moore, we also saw the Eddie Wall signature deck and a few more as well boots and bindings. Lot’s of new stuff at Forum in 2010 so check it all out in the slide show below!
