Forre’s Forrmula Discussion

whole damn thing was fucced

Imma watch once I buss this studying out for finals. Imma scholar not a skier 😈😫📚🧠🧐🤓💦

It was basically God's gift to man

one of my favorite films this year, these boys killed it and loved joona's opener along with harold's segment the most.

the down-c-down joona hits is like a dream feature, i was blown away at first watch

favorite seg is mainio, I normally hate softer and slower soundtracks but that one hits. Also love seeing a full seg from some guy I've heard of like once.

Favorite spot is Joona's opening clip, something about that spot is just so visually striking.

most fucked clips were the cliff drops in lauri's segment that is some sketchy shit lol

Overall I think this movie is by far the best of the season. All of the landings are proper, no loose shit that seems to be more acceptable in street skiing these days. It doesn't have the DIY vibe that movies like Sucka have but that's ok. Winches are chill if you're doing features that are creative and not just really big, and nice cameras are cool if they aren't strapped to a drone that's doing donuts around the skier. Oh and tons of the features are fucking MASSIVE, legit stept shit, but without the horror movie vibes.

Same boat as you dan, need to re-watch many more times to even think about those questions. The whole movie was fucked and on a crazy level of urban we might not have even seen before. My mind, park minds, Freeriders and general skiers minds all got completely mind fucked by the ridiculousness of Forrmula.

after zootspace i didnt think it was possible to have a full length segment that would blow me away but forre was awesome. the nose butter all the way around that triangular conical thing was so crazy i had to watch it like 5 times

Mainios part is probably one of the most beautiful things ive seen, skiing or otherwise. I've probably watched the movie 20 times since the drop, and that part always makes my smile the widest. the sheer creativity of the old industrial park and the amount of different shots from it is really cool, but favourite spot must be kivaris double cliff drop, or haralds warp speed wallride/coping slide

pyramid... its called a pyramid

Favorite part is Joona Sipola, the song goes perfect with his skiing, he's a very exciting and surprising skier to watch, you don't really know what he's gonna do next. He probably has the most fucked clips of the video too, with the DFDFD where he gaps the middle part and just jumps so high, or the down-C-down rail, which was super high and had very little snow on the ground.

Spot wise I like the flat 5 Lauri Kivari does on the big round circle thing. His ender line was really cool too. Mainio's nosepress was really sick too.

I really liked the movie, the amount of work these guys have put in in 1 season is very impressive. These guys are doing it their way, they're doing what they think is cool and they're not following any trends really which is refreshing.

There's little things that are not my cup of tea in the video. Harald's second song has been used at the end of the Primitive skate video "Encore", and I'm not a big fan of when people use a song that's been used in another sport, though that song was used in the credits and not for an actual part, so it's a bit more excusable. Skiing wise, there's a lot of winch and a lot of abandoned buildings, and sometimes I feel like when there's a tranny, the guys don't fully ride the tranny, they more so hit the wall and then jump, compared to when Stept used to hit trannys they would do it more proper. Also I would've liked to see more of the same guys that were in Forreal, as the crew has a lot of new guys that I didn't know of.

All in all very solid movie, I hope these guys have many more movies to come and are getting proper support cause they deserve it

lauri's nose tap hip slide to forward on the wallride, harald's wallride to zero thru the window into the building, and his nugget 180 to sw 3 off the building, joona down c down, lauri up the blue nose tap the orange, and mainio thru the window hand drag 3, lauri thru the house with the 180 and fucked up sw handplant.

i liked the nipple feature a lot and thought it was sick a bunch of them hit it in all sorts of different ways.

fav seg probably joona's and i like the vibe of the intro to set into it.

filming was impeccable, perfect movement and composition. maybe a little heavy with the stabilizer some of the shots are almost too smooth. love the statics. colors were really nice looking. couple of the shots with stuff going on in the foreground at the same time as the skiing were a bit distracting like the homie coming out of the glass door in mainio's seg or the garage door with the car in it in lauri's. idk if those were edited in or somehow the timing was just right? overall excellent production, really crisp and balanced filming without ever ever getting in the way of the skiing.

the boys need some baggier pants

The down C down rail by Joona crazy.

This is definitely my favorite Forre part I've seen so far.

I like to say bigger pants make you look better if you're not very good, once you're like forre fits honestly do not matter.

Seriously? this is your takeaway from one of the best films of the year?

Im not usually impressed by butters but holy shit that was on another level.

No lol I bought it instantly and have watched it twice and loved every second of it, even shed some tears.

joona rocks the shit out of those white pants, most dudes couldn't pull them off but he definitely does

good

great skiing, bad music choices

It's outstanding. Hits were massive and spot selection was as cool as any film I've seen. The gorgeous cinematography is the cherry on top. Really really great work by the Forre guys. Zootspace raised the bar on street films this year and Forrmula might've just surpassed it.

I can see how some people didn't love song selection. The vibes of the film were less "hard" than zoot or most gutter. But at the same time, the lighter and artsy-er tone was unique and refreshing for a street film. 10/10 for sure

Tucsongreat skiing, bad music choices

the wipers track was the only one I had heard before, wouldn’t really listen to most of the others but they all worked really well anyways imo, didn’t bother me at all

Movie was an absolute 10/10 - already watching again and had some of the most insane riding/spots I've seen in legit years.

...but this is 100% the correct take. Looked like lil kid snowpants.

Ya, all the music was good, all the skiing was great, but the whole time I was confused about the mood. idk maybe my simple brain doesn't understand the new wave of soundtracks, maybe it was just like a random mesh of cool songs and good ski clips, which is cool, but I prefer some synchronization and flow with the music and clips
