Last Night's Forum Movie Premier

Last night we ran a movie premier for Forums movie F..It. It went epic and was at a really cool venue that has quite a few of my favourite artists pieces on the wall, including Shepard F, Perks, The Serps, Chris Johanson etc. etc.
Anyway here is a couple of shots from the night.


Chris J did some of my fave decks with anti hero back in the day, here's a little piece he did for a great art show a few years ago.



Good dudes Chunk and Metro



And Tara, Rick and Cinnamon (maybe) up on the pop site

Sean Southwood, CFO

Our CFO Sean is a legend and He loves to ride and really has a go, not the typical CFO that Ive worked with that's for sure
He has decided to move on to be closer to the surf which is a shame as he will be really missed.
Here is a couple of epic shots of him having a go also a little movie that one of our dealers made not to long ago, you see him trying to ollie at the 29 second mark.

Southy you'll be missed !!

Over 10 years since I have seen this much water in this Dam

In the movie The Castle which is a Aussie fave thats for sure, their fave holiday place is Bonnie Doon. For the last 10 years it has been lacking water in this lower section thats for sure.
We got a bunch of rain and snow as of late and here is some shots from last weekend.
Apparently they have planted a tagged fish in there and if you catch it you win $50 grand, for Real.


No we didnt stop sorry about the blurr



Two weeks ago this was DIRT

Dam that Drought that's for sure

This leads to a true water melon headache thats for sure

And I guess this is why they really call it the Amazing race

This is the best you tube clip Ive seen in a long time

So I had to travel across to Vermont for work for a couple of quick meetings.
