“Signal won the prestigious top board model of the summer award, with the
Park Series. The Demo Center could not keep these boards in stock with many campers requesting them as soon as they showed up at camp. This evaluation shows that Signal has the highest brand utility by a large percentage. It was often that Signal boards were completely out of stock. The recurring demo of these soft, easy to ride, boards, kept campers coming back, telling their friends to get on some Signal too.” - HCSC 2008 Demo Report   Continue Reading »

August DVD Cover

August is the third video project from Airblaster. Following such classics as December and April, August does not disappoint. The movie was filmed this past August on Mt Hood Oregon. Mt Hood had a record snowfall season and this produced some amazing summer time snowboarding. Airblaster took advantage of this and invited all the team riders and friends up to the mountain for summer time shredding. This time around we had fancy cameras and amazing jumps and features provided by Mt Hood and HCSC. The video is about 30 minutes long and has hours of bonus video. Another great aspect of the DVD is that it also has a full length feature from HCSC called The Sounds Of Summer.   Continue Reading »
