Demo Center 2011™

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

The Demo Center™ this year is looking stacked! We have unpacked, and set up all of the product, and it’s looking amazing! This summer we have boards from Burton, DC, K2, Capita, Lib-Tech, Gnu, and Bataleon. We, at HCSC, decided it would be a good idea for everyone out there in internet land to get a first hand sneak peak at all of the radical products that have flooded the Demo Center™! And who better to show you all of the radical gear than the staff of HCSC who ride for each of these brands? Well we couldn’t think of anyone better either, so first up is Alex Rodway showing off the new K2 Happy Hour deck:


Man that deck has a really cool shape, and that green is just jaw dropping.

DC’s new decks are also pretty jaw dropping. Look at Tanner McCartyshowing off DC’s new deck, the Focus:


Look at how pumped Tanner is to ride this board! His jaw is literally on the ground! That’s how pumped you will feel when you strap it to your feet too.

Coach Tucker Andrews stopped by to show all of you just how amazing the Lib-Tech TRS deck is:

Man look at him shred that ax. If only he could shred it like he can shred that Lib-Tech TRS deck. Oh man. Speaking of shredding, look at the Capita deck counselor Mike Ravelson is going to be ripping around on this summer.


That’s right, that is the 2012 Capita Ultrafear. Man, that deck looks reallllll good. You can see Rav ride that deck all summer here at HCSC.

We know, we know. You are thinking that there just can’t be anymore awesome decks in the Demo Center™ just waiting for you to try out. But oh man are you wrong. You saw him on the cover of Snowboarder Magazine, now you can see him crushing HCSC’s park on the daily as part of the infamous K-unit. Let Kyle Lopicolo show you how rad next years Bataleon Evil Twin deck really is:

Man that Bataleon board looks “sick”. You know what else is really “sick”? A person with Salmonella? No, no that’s not what we are talking about. Give up, can’t guess it? Well it’s Forum Snowboards, and they are in our Demo Center™ this year. Check out one of the new graphics for the Young blood, being shown by Forum dude, and coach JD Dennis

Burton Snowboards are also back in the mix this summer! Check out the oldest dude known to man, showing off this rad Burton Whammy Bar deck. It’s looking real good!

We know that we just bombarded you with some of the coolest looking boards ever, but we have one left to show you. Check out Max Warbington showing you how awesome the new GNU Street Series deck is.


This deck is so stunning, Max had to keep his shades on.

We hope you all are just as excited about the 2011 Demo Center™ as we are, because this year we have some of the best gear that we have ever had in store. Get ready to try them all out! The Demo Center™ is free for all campers, and there’s no limit to the amount of gear that you can demo! You can ride a new board every single day if you really wanted to!!!!!

Lost & Found: Jake Knigge (on the Gnu’s Glog)

Monday, October 11th, 2010

If you’ve been to HCSC and you’ve stayed in The Lodge: then you know Knigge.  If you’ve been to HCSC and flown into PDX, then you probably know Knigge.   A 3rd year counselor and the man in charge of all HCSC airport arrivals on Arrival Day, Jake keeps things running smooth all summer long.

Well somehow this video was lost on the Internet… and we found it on the Gnu Blog (the Glog).

We found this on the Internet if anyone was looking for it...
