"Forum Or Against 'Em" is this year's Forum snowboards team video. This is the first full-length movie they've done since 2006 because last year the team underwent a facelift and were only able to produce a not-for-sale download only video. Forum snowboards is one of the biggest companys in the entire snowboard industry, so they have a big budget to put together a really good video. Last year's video was titled, "First Chair, Last Call" and was very good to say the least. The lineup of riders for "Forum Or Against 'Em" features Nic Sauve, Travis Kennedy, Eddie Wall, Joni Malmi, John Jackson, Jake Welch, Stevie Bell, Peter Line, Jake Blauvelt, and Plymouth local Pat Moore. The team traveled the world in search of the best snow and the best spots to session. After watching the video I thought it was pretty stock. In my opinion I didn't think the filming was bad, nor did i think it was good. I just thought a lot of the shots were very basic and bland. By saying that I am not down talking the riding at all. The riding in the movie is incredible and I thought the music selection was very good as well. One thing I didn't like was Travis Kennedy's gangster act that he puts on. He is in no way, shape, or form a gangster at all. Some stuff he does and says is funny, but the majority of it is a bit played out and overboard. I think he should just ride and not act. In the end I thought the movie was pretty good, and would rate it 4 snowboards out of 5.
