This new board from Forum is what Andreas Wigg has been riding this last year. It features one of the best cores in the Forum lineup, combo platter, and an amazing feel. This board is one of my favorites. All you parents and kids looking for the perfect holiday present. This Thing Is It!
Also I saw this ad on Forum's website and had to put it up. It pretty much sums up Combo Platter for me...
"Crafted for park dominating performance in the Holy Moly and the Honeypot, Combo Platter features the same pop, edge grip, and stable landing platform as camber, combined with the forgiving and playful ride of rocker. Combo Platter ends the camber vs. rocker debate forever. This completely new profile has unique platters running along each edge just under your feet. By lifting the edges up off the snow in those key areas, the board has a less catchy feel for butters, jibs and spins, but still maintains smooth grip and control when you put it on edge. This profile is rounded out by a powerful nose and tail for big takeoffs and stomped landings. The ultimate combination."
So I know that we are not in Southern Cali, but these videos make me wanna ride, so i'm assuming they will do the same for you. Here are some of my favorites from the Bear Mountain Thirty-Two Am Team.

Riley Snyder did a really cool recap of the 2010 Motown Throwdown over at New Schoolers.com. Check out the link and read away. He also put up some pretty sweet pictures. Good Job my man!
The 2010 Motown Throwdown is all wrapped up for the year. It was amazing and everyone that came had a blast. We estimated that there were over 5,000 people out for the event on Saturday night, and we really appreciate everyone that came and helped make this year's event special.

Relocating to Colorado gives me the opportunity to attend many of the top snowboard video premieres that skip over the ice coast. So I figure why not spread the love and tell you whats up with some of the fresh material:
Forum's F-IT!
Forum delivers another goofy action-packed banger of a video, no big surprise. Although the goofy holloywood-esqueness is a little much, the snowboarding is such that I really wasn't bothered. Stand-out parts from Andreas Wiig and Pat Moore delivering more double corks than is healthy, bone crushing rail segments from Niko Ciofi and Cam Pierce, and a backcountry ender from none other than Big Jax, aka John Jackson, make this movie totally worth buying!
Grade: A+
F.O.D.T.'s The Arena
FODT and Technine(pwn3d by Cole Taylor and MFM) delivers an astonishing video beyond anything they have produced previously with a dreamteam of street hooligans dropping an epic movie that is sure to be a contender for the Transworld Video of the Year honors. Top-notch editing, a rap and dub-step soundtrack, and all-time urban destruction make this video nothing short of awesome. Look for the parts from Derrick Dennison, MFM, Cory Cronk, and Dylan Thompson.
Grade: A
Standard Films' The Storming
Standard brings yet another heavy movie with a nice mix of freestyle and freeride snowboarding from the likes of Jeremy Jones, Keegan Valaika, the Helgassons, and Torstein Horgmo. Each part is coupled with a sweet alternative soundtrack including a ridiculous ender from Torstein, who oddly enough got to see his part for the first time as he was standing right next to me. Single corks, double corks for days, and even a triple cork matched with an epic top-to-bottom run at Northstar-at-Tahoe (since he is now on their team, btw) make this a contender (and likely a winner) for TWS Video Part of the Year.
This last week Pathfinder has received the majority of our Burton Boards, Bindings, Boots, and Apparel so make sure to come down and pick your gear up before its gone. New Boards include the Burton Whammy Bar (Bob Marley Edition). This board is part of the Restricted Program, which means that not only is it a collectors edition but there are only a few of these things out there. Also we have the new CobraShark Binding, which our Global Domination Team Rider Corey Snyder has been riding for the last several months of last season. He loves this binding and it loves him, giving him plenty of flex but at the same time being super supportive of all that extra style that guys got to offer. Look for it hanging on our binding wall, it's pretty easy to find.
Also be on the lookout for the New Burton Hail Restricted Boot. This boot is super comfortable, is really supportive, and uses Burton's new EST Footbed to bring you closer to the board.
This is the first update from the Pathfinder Global Domination Team, Colorado installment. I had the wonderful opportunity to accompany Pathfinder to the 2010 Snowshoe Mtn On-Snow Demo in April. Over those 3 days, I tested boards from virtually every company on the market today most of which you can find just inside the doors of our store on High St.
One of the boards that was truly a standout (don't worry there were many! See previous post regarding the Lib Tech Trice) was the IIkka Backstrom Pro 154 from DC Snowboards:
Not only does this board boast one of the snappiest pops off of any park kicker imaginable, but also a true twin design to fulfill all of your freestyle fetishes (nice alliteration, I know :-), and some of the snazziest graphics in the biz. Sized at 154 you may think that this board is only for riders of smaller stature, but I can assure you that this board can withstand the brutal treatment of a fellow usually sized for 157cm+ boards as I have been proudly rocking the Iikka Pro 154 for 2 years in a row now. If you have any questions about how rough I have been on boards in the past, please consult your friendly Pathfinder sales manager, Andrew Walker.
So whats the bottom line?... If you are looking for a board to help you elevate your game to the next level, look no further! The Iikka Pro 154 is just what the doctor ordered.
