Forum Holy Moly Snowboard Review



The Forum Holy Moly is the most eye catching snowboard of the 2011 season. The graphics are standout luminous orange, yellow and blue colour-ways and the boards construction is like nothing you have ever seen and one of the most rad to ride forum snowboards of all time

the manufacturers bill the 2011 Forum Holy Moly as the best park board in the world. It includes every technology imaginable to make you go higher, faster, jib and land easier. Combo Platter combines the aggressive ollie-pop and control of camber with the forgiving playful feel of rocker, ending the rocker vs. camber discussion forever. With Booter Boosters NexTreme for carbon enhanced ollie-pop, Buttercup in the tip and tail to provide a catch-free ride and the absolute fastest base and lightest wood core possible, the Forum Holy Moly would cost hundreds more if any other brand than Forum Snowboards had the ability to build it.

The Review of the 2011 Forum Holy Moly snowboard

the 2011 Holy Moly Snowboards are available at S2AS in sizes:
Forum Holy Moly 155
Forum Holy Moly 158

program: freestyle/park and pipe

Andreas Wiig’s move from Nitro snowboards to Forum last season was big news for Forum but put a lot of pressure on Forum’s engineers to create something special for the man of the moment to continue his X-Games winning streak on. Like all of Forum’s graphics this season the Holy Moly’s lick of paint looks great,and this 2011 snowboard is not different it’s only when you find out the rough looking blade is a sketch of a prison shank, designed to symbolize a weapon made of the best materials available that you realize Forum means business with this Park Eating Snowboard.

There are a number of new technologies being used on the Holy Moly including the raising of the start and end of the effective edge and risers at the bindings that kink the edge upwards at the feet, Forum call it the Combo Platter. as soon as you put Bindings on you immediately become aware of how stiff the Forum Holy Moly is between the bindings, both along its length and witdth and the nose and tail are no softer. Pop is pretty explosive and run in lines to jumps were really stable if a little robotic, especially as the scoop nose and tail reduced any catchiness. So the forum Holy Moly is a great snowboard for big jumps with all of the stability and pop of a stiff cambered board reminiscent of the chillidog profile on some of the other Forum Snowboards. Carving and working short aggressive turns is hard work, working against the stiff camber takes effort which is more than rewarded when you hit the kickers and sliders and jib round your favourite park this snowboard is a dream with its new "really fast" sintered base which seems like it can withstand a direct hit from wiig himself! this 2011 Forum Snowboard is one of the best snowboards for the most competant park riders with 100% composure for throwing down big spins and inverts and then sticking steep landings in style.In our opinion the pinnacle of Forum's game in the park, we realise that this is not everybodys ideal of snowboarding and so do Forum with the whole range covered, the Holy Moly is daddy to the softer more all round and less dedicated Forum Scallywag encompassing the technology of the 2011 range and filling in the gaps in the more freeride end of the market. if you live in the park the 2011 Holy Moly is the board for you!
