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
