Forum Destroyer & Destroyer Wide Snowboard Review
destroyer-156
$449
Intermediate to Expert Freestyle to All Mountain Freestyle
Camber Twin Shape
The Forum Desrtoyer use to be a step up from the Youngblood Camber but now in 2012 the Youngblood is only continuous rocker and hybrid rocker so now it stands a lone as a good camber board. The Destroyer hasn't changed too much over the last few years It has the abity to run everywhere in the park and has been one of Forum's more popular boards for many years. It's not bad outside of the park either.  Most people seem to be more into the hybrid rocker version of the Destroyer these days but the Camber does have some advantages with Pop, carving and stability.  It is however not as forgiving as the chili dog version.  Forum has a softer flex rating than most boards so even though Forum claims this is a mid flexing board we see it as soft.  It would be great to have the camber for most non powder days and the Doubledog version for when it's soft and deep. If you have to pick one just find out what's more important to you.  Is loose, playful and floaty more important or is carvy, stable and poppy.

Company Information

Forum Destroyer 2012 Description

$439.95

High Voltage
For those who seek to destroy the largest features any park can offer up, this camber deck comes juiced up and charged. Built with a GnarLE core for a snappy, responsive pop and Swingers Club for a reduced swing weight—there’s no reason that double cork can’t become a reality. This board is built for high-speed run-ins, near-death consequences, and endless park lines. Don’t get burned.

Camber

Control of power. A timeless profile that's lively and aggressive, camber promotes precise control when charging mach speed, landing hard, or ollieing off the lip.

 

Forum Destroyer 2011 Description

Human skulls. Back for another year of slaying, the Destroyer continues to be the most sought-after board for gnarly park riding. Armed with Booter Boosters, for carbon-powered ollie pop, and Swingers Club, which reduces swing weight to help turn that back 7 into a back 9. This board is meant for high-speed, high-consequence abuse.

 

Forum Destroyer 2010 Description

$449.99

Like the team and the brand, Forum’s flagship board has been killing it since forever. Each year the Destroyer is the one caught slaying street rails, stomping new tricks and ruling monster transitions. This season experience how sick this board is on boxes, rails and features, but the serial art has surely evolved from an earlier darkness.
