We just got an update from Forum snowboards that the new team video for 2009, “Forum or Against ‘em” is currently in the works! We are very excited to see what they have to throw down for next season and thought we should pass the stoke on to you. The team riders will be representing their skills on all the new 09 Forum Snowboard Product and outerwear for next season. If you haven’t had a chance to see the gear yet, it looks dope! Unfortunately it won’t be in stores until August, so if you are in need of your snowboard essentials right now, check out what TruSnow has to offer in our Forum Snowboards, Forum Boots, Forum Bindings and Forum Clothing categories. We also have an extensive inventory in Women’s Forum Snowboads, Women’s Forum Boots, Women’s Forum Bindings and Women’s Forum clothing categories. At ridiculously low prices, fast free shipping and no sales tax, whats to stop you from getting your Forum set up today!  It’s mid-March and Forum’s new feature film, Forum or Against’em is in full swing. A dedicated web site for the movie, as well as a hard hitting media assault will surface in the coming months to keep the hype alive through the warmer months.About Forum or Against’em:
The team’s winter journey is being documented in full color, by veteran Forum filmers Jeremy Pettit and Kurt Heine. Joining the crew behind the lens is Nathan Yant (of Volcom Escramble Fame) and Defective Film members Sean Johnson and Ilari Suhonen. In charge of the stills (once again) is Cole Barash, along with Ian Ruhter (Transworld Senior Photographer), and Oli Gagnon (Snowboarder Magazine Senior Photographer). With the best in the business on both sides of the camera, expect a HUGE year in both video and print media.
Eastern Canada hosted the street scene December thru mid-February. Eddie Wall, Nic Sauve, Pat Moore, Jake Welch, Travis Kennedy, Stevie Bell, and Joni Malmi spent the majority of the time picking apart Montreal, Quebec, and Calgary. In those two and a half months, progressive tricks laid the groundwork for the jib aspect of their video parts.While rail trips were underway in the East, Jake Blauvelt and John Jackson were held up on the Western Side of Canada. With a heli-trip to Terrace BC under their belts, along with countless days sledding in Whistler, these two, along with part-timers Peter Line and Pat Moore, have documented more days in the pow than all of us office dwellers combined.
 With one more rail trip on the calendar, the rest of the crew will soon be migrating west with gassed sleds, transceivers, and shovels to join-in on the late season pow. John Jackson and Eddie Wall are both recovering from pretty serious bone bruises on their knee, but will be back in the game by the end of March. Both are sitting comfortably on A+ footage, so should have no problem finishing up with the expected bangers when the directors call cut for the season.Unfortunately, Jake Welch’s knee didn’t fare as well as his teammates, as he is currently out for the season with a blown ACL. His surgery went well, and doctors claim that everything should be 100% when healed. Jake’s working hard rehabbing, and we wish him a fast and full recovery. In the little time Jake spent filming, he managed to be super-productive and secured himself a short, but technical part.For’am Update
In For’am news, 17 year-old Greg Bretz has been on a tear in the pipe circuit. With podium finishes in both recent Grand Prixs, and World Cups, Greg has been chosen to represent the US Snowboard Team. We wish him and the rest of the riders the best of luck in the US Open. Joining Greg this week is Trevor Jacob, Cameron Pierce, Niko Cioffi, and Daniel Ek, all of which you’ll see more of this fall.

BURTON GLOBAL OPEN SERIES 2008
Torah Bright & Peetu Piiroinen Win $100,000 Burton Global Open Series
Shaun White & Cheryl Maas Drive Home New Volvo C30 R-Designs
STRATTON, Vt. (March 22, 2008) - Glory, fame and fortune were on the line today at the US Open Snowboarding Championships, where the world’s top riders battled for five different prestigious titles, two Volvo C30 R-Designs and cash awards worth a total of $471,500. Today’s big winners were 2008 BGOS champions Torah Bright (AUS) and Peetu Piiroinen (FIN); 2008 US Open halfpipe champions Torah Bright (AUS) and Shaun White (USA); 2008 Men’s Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour Champion Kevin Pearce (USA); Volvo Most Valuable Riders Cheryl Maas and Shaun White; and 2008 US Open big air champions Cheryl Maas and Tim Humphreys.
Last season’s Burton Global Open Series champion Torah Bright had this to say about her second BGOS title and $100,000 title win, “I had tears coming down under my goggles. I just couldn’t believe that I could win the title twice. I’m really very happy.”
Finnish rider Peetu Piiroinen, who has never won a major title in his snowboard career, said, “I never thought I had a chance to win the BGOS title. I just cannot wait to call my family in Finland - they won’t believe it!”
The action-packed day kicked off with the men and women’s halfpipe finals, where history repeated itself when 2007 US Open halfpipe champions Shaun White and Torah Bright once again took first place and $20,000 each. Just like at last year’s US Open, Shaun also won the Volvo for his overall riding at the event.
At the start of the halfpipe finals, four men and two women were still in contention for the $100,000 Burton Global Open Series title, and every rider in the running had calculated what ranking he or she needed to take home competitive snowboarding’s biggest single payout. In the best-of-three run finals Torah Bright took the lead early with a run that featured a backside 3 Indy, switch backside 720 mute (Winner of Zune Best Trick and $5,000), backside 540, melon-to-fakie with a Cab 720 at the end. Coming off a win at yesterday’s slopestyle, Shaun White won his third US Open halfpipe title, ending his day with a victory lap. Shaun’s winning run consisted of a first-hit frontside 1080 stalefish to Cab 1080 into his signature frontside 540 stalefish, McTwist, frontside 900 with a backside 900 ender”all huge and flawless. Scotty Lago clocked the Zune Best Trick and $5,000 with a double cork frontside 1080.
