Flex: 4 (1 Softer – 10 Stiffer) The Youngblood is built for an intermediate rider who is ready to step it up and wants a board with enough flex to soak up the pow and lap the park.

Gnar Core: Made of high-grade Hunter S. Aspen wood to reduce overall board weight while still providing a snappy and responsive ride. Grainbelt reinforcement adds extra stomping strength under the bolts

Chilly Dog Tech: Shaped like a boiled brat instead of a slippery banana, dead fish or ‘80s rocker, Forum’s continuous radius rise will surface when pointed either tip or tail first. The Chilly Dog hits transitions smoothly, won’t plow into the lip and resurfaces like bad onions and jalapenos when landing switch.

Freebase: This base comes free with the board and glides on a snowy surface. Waxes easy, looks good with die-cut graphics and protects the core from getting worked.

Swingers Club Tech: CNC machines profile Forum wood cores so the ends are as skinny as a supermodel. Less density at the ends also means the tip rises faster in untracked terrain, making for a quick exit from sketchy situations
