Here's a quick re-cap of Thursday night's premiere in Newport Beach. Too hungover to write much else. FUCK IT! SNOWBOARDER MAGAZINE WRITE-UP Photos Courtesy of Laura Austin

Pat's second cover this year comes on the February issue of SNOWBOARD MAGAZINE. By no means is this your typical 2D print, but rather the first 3D cover in snowboard magazine history, which basically makes it the equivalent of what Avatar would be in the snowboarding world...kinda. Well, not really, but you get the point. We think it's petty rad. Photo: Tim Peare

After testing the best hardgoods from across the industry for the last several months, Snowboard Magazine is awarding Forum's brand new Shaka Binding an "Excellence In Design" Platinum Pick for 2010. "Getting every bit of flex and action you pay for out of a board is critical these days," says Snowboard Magazine's Mike Basher. "The Shaka's hinged disc allows for a smooth, uninterrupted board flex." "We're pumped that Snowboard Magazine's on-snow testers had fun riding our bindings," states Forum Brand Manager David Friend. "We've put a lot of energy into our binding program and it's rad to hear that riders like what we've done." Built to work with any 4-hole pattern board on the market, the split base of the Shaka works in conjunction with Forum's entirely new Good Vibes Hinge Disc allowing for not only a more natural board flex, but also the added value of more control with Continuous Rocker boards. In addition, a full-length EVA and fGel footpad provides the ultimate in dampening and cush comfort when the occasional flat landing occurs. Whether slashing the lip or destroying the park, there's no need for a new board to get a new sensation.

Nate over at the Snowboard Magazine is a crusty ole, well, you get the idea. Sorry, but we just can't back your review of The Hundreds / Forum collaboration snowboard - considering we at Forum are excited about it, and you basically just tore it a new asshole. Anyway, since the magazine is already printed and distributed, we'll utilize the web to reclaim just how awesome the collab is. For anyone that cares (or is actually still reading this) here is the review:

"2" is a traveling photography exhibit featuring the works of Forum Staff Photographers, Ian Ruhter and Cole Barash. The exhibit is being put on by Snowboard Magazine, so to get the full update and see some some of great photos from the industries finest, follow this link to their website.
