RED REYNOLDS 3 IN STORES NOW!

2010-03-02T13:24:00.002-05:00

The Reynolds 3 originally came out for the Holiday 2004 season, and one of the first colorways to be released was the red/white colorway pictured above. The shoe did well and has been a staple of the Emerica line ever since, but the red/white colorway only lasted for two seasons.

Until now. Back in 2008, one of our members on the Emerica Message Board (EMB) suggested a re-release of this original colorway [see the original post!] and after receiving a lot of positive feedback from the community, we decided to take the opportunity to do something our fans wanted... Now, nearly two years later, and with help from all our EMB members, we're proud to release the Reynolds 3 EMB colorway - and yes, it's actually in stores right now.

To commemorate all our loyal site users, we created some hidden goodies in the shoe. Upon opening the box, the first thing you might notice is the special EMB tag on the heel. But look deeper and check out the insoles... The right one reprints Miles' original post asking for the shoes, and the left one celebrates all the top EMB contributors without which this project could have never succeeded!

Phil Harris-You will be missed

2010-02-16T19:01:00.002-05:00

Deadliest Catch is my favorite tv show. Capt. Harris was back on the Cornelia Marie last month when he suffered a stroke Jan. 29 in port at St. Paul Island, the largest of the five islands in the Pribilofs, 300 miles off Alaska's west coast and 750 miles west of Anchorage. Phil never made it home. Fished to the end. You will be missed.

Total bummer...A great captain Phil is.

Andreas Wiig Joins Forum

2009-12-01T09:05:00.003-05:00

The The rumors are true. As winter has arrived, so has Norwegian phenom Andreas Wiig to Forum’s pro team. Joining Peter Line, Eddie Wall, Pat Moore, Jake Welch, Stevie Bell, John Jackson, Nic Sauve and Daniel Ek, Andreas is set to give it 110% this season. Whether riding the park, at a slopestyle event or filming in the backcountry, Wiig continually pushes his limits.

“It’s an honor to be part of such a talented and progressive team, a team that is setting the standard in snowboarding today,” says Wiig. “I already know most of the guys on the team and I’m looking forward to riding with them. It’s going to be good times.”

“There is no better fit for Forum than Andreas. Forum is a cutting-edge freestyle brand and that is exactly who Andreas is, always taking it to a new level,” states Director of Team Marketing, Bryan Knox. “We are all extremely happy to be working with a rider of this caliber.”

Thinking back to when his snowboarding career began and how he got to where he is today, Andreas is looking forward to focusing more on filming and shooting photos. Although he’ll continue to participate in select contests globally, the emphasis of Wiig’s upcoming season seems to be reconnecting with his roots.

BOB ROSS x FORUM from Forum Snowboards on Vimeo.

Hey guys, how’s things?

Collabs have become a little out of hand the past few years so we decided to bring an art collaboration our way with the original DIY art master himself, Mr. Bob Ross. This isn’t another random artist collab. We worked with original selections from the Bob Ross private collection and made a board, boot, and binding that hopefully live up to the legend of the man himself. Check the video here , and check these true collector items at your local shop.

Happy Boarding,

2009-07-28T15:00:00.003-04:00

A new contest format erupted on Mt. Hood this week with the underground launch of the HCSC Spin Cycle Classic™. The premise is simple: which rider(s) can cycle through all four directions of spinning (frontside, backside, switch frontside and switch backside) from 180º to 900º with the least mistakes and the best style. Ian Thorley tied for first with Heikki Sorsa in the inaugural rotational event, and earned himself a Cobra Dog, Volcano Cone, Huck Shake, and his name permanently engraved on the iconic Spin Cycle Classic golden washing machine, the major appliance version of the “Stanley Cup of Snowboarding”.

Spanking new to this year’s boot line-up is the Tweaker featuring Forum’s very own Tweaker Cuff. Like no other boot on the market, the proprietary neoprene Tweaker Cuff, located on the inside (medial) ankle, offers increased flexibility for tweaking power on those cranked methods and styled-out backlips. This park boot maintains standard flex from toe-to-heel so you can power through if you’re in the back seat or on flat landings. Lay it down and tweak it out with the new Tweaker Cuff.

TALENT SKATEPARK GAME OF SKATE

2009-07-22T13:10:00.002-04:00

JULY 16TH, 2009
Approx 45 competitors showed up for TALENT SKATEPARK's Es Game of Skate. Local talents of the Hale brothers and last years champion Marshall Heath made it out to compete in what was a battle to the end. First round qualifyers went for good extended amount of time as many battled it out. One first round qualifying match consisted of Marshall Heath drawing a young grom. the youngin' really battled hard and I do believe actually drew a letter off Heath! In the end it was Marshal Heath winning that match. other notable were Colin and Cody Hale having to battle it out to advance to the finals against Heath. This by far has been the longest most technical trick for trick match we have seen during the whole tour series. Crazy!
In the end, Cody Hale and Marshal Heath were our finalists. It was once again great battle , but in the end Marshal Heath was once again victorious and won the golden ticket to advance directly into the semi finals of the Official Tour Stop in Beverly , Mass.
Congrats to Marshal and to everyone who came out and especially Talent Skatepark!

PAT MOORE SPINS TO WIN

2009-07-20T14:57:00.003-04:00

Not sure if it’s just Luck of the Irish, or his blazing spinning-speed that set Pat’s scalp ablaze, but Forum’s red-headed wonder boy was the over-all victor in the First Annual Snowboarder Magazine SPIN TO WIN Contest for America’s Next Top Pro Model. Nice work Patty Cakes. If you’re still dizzy, pick yourself up some Dramamine.

SHAUN MURPHY $1000 RICHER

2009-07-14T10:03:00.002-04:00

The thundering waters of Niagara Falls provided the perfect backdrop for the latest installment of the Red Bull Butter Cup Contest Series. With several successful stops gracing the east coast this season, what better to compliment these prior events than a summer event, at Snow Park Niagara.
50 of the top amateur riders in the country descended on the venue, with heavy hitters such as Shaun Murphy, Ricky Beuler, the Mindich brothers, Forest Bailey, and Tim Humphreys all joining the mix. This was by no means your typical rail jam, as these riders were testing their creativity, and technical skills all in an effort to bag the $2,500 first prize.
1st Place – Tim Humphreys $2,500
2nd Place – Shaun Murphy $1,000
3rd Place – Forest Bailey $500
4th Place – Hans Mindich $250
5th Place – Ricky Beuler $250
Best Trick – Forest Bailey $500
