I can tell you why I do, but I imagine everyone has a reason for liking the board company that they usually go with. I know my friend Jay only buys Ride stuff because of the bindings. Which I have to admit, if there was a Ride board I liked, I would probably switch over to them…I liked them at first because of the silly graphics.

So when it came time for a new one, graphics were the last of my concern (well..kind of, their new graphics are pretty crappy minus Bob Ross, I just got lucky that every board I wanted was something I really liked graphically) and once again, Forum had a board that was at a good price, and se

No btx or mtx, but a carbon fiber weave core and light weight stats made me fell in love.But also, I have to give alot of credit to the original Forum 8. Watching alot of their videos really sold me on their boards.
