Industry Insider: Forum Snowboards

Steve Wickner has always been hungry. Early in life Steve devoured the appetizers of the Minneapolis skate and USASA National contest scenes, and now has found his fill in Forum Snowboards.

Everyone who rode through the 90’s remembers the startup of Forum Snowboards in 1996, and the team that dominated everything, the Forum 8.  Some mastermind put JP, Line, Malmi, Jones, Yli-Luoma, Bjorn, Walsh, and Dufficy all on Forum Snowboards.  They were the boy band of the snowboard world, and soon after that, around 2000, Wickner went from being a sub rep to the Midwest Forum Snowboards rep.  Steve has been eating it up ever since.

Forum Snowboards push graphics, designed by JDK, beyond the plate.  The board’s graphics are spicy as every this season.  Check out the Destroyer series and look closely at the hand written letters of Death Row inmates that blend into the background.  The electric chairs on the deck put to rest the authors of the creepy letters.  That’s the kind of story and background Forum puts into their graphics, not many companies go that far.  Forum sells more than snowboards, they sell stories, and a lifestyle.  “The Destroyer is probably my number one pick this season for too many reasons to mention.” -Steve Wickner

Forum’s freestyle oriented boards catch the attention of park rats and urban dwellers of all abilities across the globe.  No matter where you go, you’ll see a grom or an OG like Steve thrashing around like that day is their last.  Be a part of a story bigger than yourself, and ride Forum Snowboards.
