History
Forum snowboards was first started by Four Star Distribution and pro snowboarder Peter Line in the summer of 1996. On July 15, 2004 Forum was bought by Burton Snowboards.
Team
Peter Line attempted to create the greatest pro team ever, which resulted in "The Forum 8", arguably the most progressive group of riders ever. The Forum 8 were: JP Walker, Jeremy Jones, Joni Malmi, Bjorn Leines, Devun Walsh, Chris Dufficy, Wille Yli-Luoma and Peter Line and were seen on Mack Dawg Productions' "The Resistance". John Paul Walker (born 1976 is an American professional Snowboarder.
Since then, 6 of the original 8 have left Forum, with Joni Malmi and Peter Line the only original Forum 8 left. JP Walker, Devun Walsh, Lauri Heiskari and Iikka Bäckström left Forum Snowboards in 2006 and 2007.
Currently, the Forum team consists of: Peter Line, Joni Malmi, Eddie Wall, Travis Kennedy, Pat Moore, Jake Blauvelt, Stevie Bell, Jake Welch, Nic Sauve, Daniel Ek and John Jackson[1].
Videos
Forum has been working with Mack Dawg Productions to produce a number of snowboard videos including The Resistance, True Life, Video Gangs. However, their most recent video, "That" was not made by Mack Dawg. Forum's videos all feature riders of the Forum team along with friend's of the team. In 2006, team members Stevie Bell and JP Walker appeared in one of the most highly anticipated documentaries of the year in Sunset Film's "Montreal".
Boards
For the 2008 season, Forum renamed and redesigned most of their products. The former Jiblet was renamed to the Manual. Along with the new line up, Forum has added new models Darkness, Destroyer LTD, The Stomper, Eddie, Seeker and the Bully.
The full 08 men's line up consists of: Recon, Recon Wide, Manual, Stomper, Youngblood, Youngblood Team, Destroyer, Destroyer LTD, Destroyer TK (Travis Kennedy), Destroyer PM (Pat Moore), Darkness, Seeker, Roost, Lander, Grudge, Bully, Raider, and Eddie.
