The Forum Recon Snowboard is an excellent all-around board at a price that a) won't ruin your bank account and b) makes those late-season core shots less devastating. Forum combined a Compound Matrix core with bi-axial laminate construction to create a soft-flexing board that turns without a fight. The tail of this slightly directional snowboard is slightly stiffer than the nose, which adds stability on landings.
Bottom Line: The Forum Recon Snowboard. Fun to ride and fun to wreck.

Well, boards come in Standard, Mid and Wide widths. U.S. Size 11 is about the biggest size you'd want to ride on a standard width board. Standard widths are usually under 255mm. The reason for this is so when making turns your toe or heel don't hit the snow causing drag. Im 5'11, wear a size 11 shoe but ride a wide board because I'm morbidly obese.

No.. It's more of an all mountain board. You want a jib board for park and street. I ride a Rome Artifact for that purpose but there are lots of nice ones out there. There are also some nice boards that can take the park and street and still be ride able on the mountain. just depends on what you want!

This would be a good board for a beginner. Soft, forgiving of mistakes, and easy to ride. And cheap! For anyone that requires a little more from their boards though, this is not for you. First of all the stance options are pretty minimal. You have to change your stance more than an inch wider or skinnier if you want to stay somewhat centered on the board. Otherwise you'll be almost an inch set back. To me the board felt dead. Pretty fun on rails and boxes, but when you take it out of the park it falls short. No pop, difficult to hold an edge at speed, etc.
Overall not a bad board, but nothing great either.

Probably not. The Forum warranty doesnt cover anything that is a result from "Misuse, abuse, impact or neglect", so pretty much anything that is not their fault. If you bought it off backcountry though, you can always return it.
