Just a few kids found out how to spend their summer….just a few. Kid’s take this photo and show to your parents and let them know that EVERYONE’S GOING SHREDDING and its time for them to SACK UP and get you shredding in the summer. Who cares about the economy….summer fucking blows and it only takes one week to turn that frown upside down. Economic recession is no where near as bad as summer depression.

You could be lucky enough to have Chris Beresford as your coach….and if that’s not enough he’ll even film your runs through the park. 

mitch_allen_070209_diggers

These homies don’t fuck around when it comes to raking. The HCSC DIGGERS  are on it when it comes to keeping shit raked and salted ….jumps, rails and pipes are always in primo condition.  

mitch_allen_070209_tim_ronan_allyope_bsrodeo

TIM RONAN is down for BSRODEOS in the pipe. Not only did you make the trek up to Hood but he also voluntarily worked as a digger every day AKA DIG TO RIDE just so he could chop it up every day.

Who has two thumbs and is psyched on chillin in Hood for the summer? THIS GUY aka CHRIS BREWSTER.

mitch_allen_070209_parker_duke_nosepress_fs1out

Its  tough for Parker Duke to decide if he wants to Nose press frt 1  the kink rail or send some Front 10’s off the kicker…..these are some tough choices you have to make at HCSC

 

 By the way we are not trying to rub it in that your not here…..just trying to get people stoked to make the sacrifices needed to get  their summer rollin. Most employees up here only make a few hundred dollars per session. They are not here to get paid they are here to snowboard and thats it. This is not some unobtainable dream life that everyone has its a life of hard work and sacrifices to live the dream. All you have to do is get in your car and drive….camp in the woods and shred. It is really that easy. So sorry if we offended anyone we are just trying to let everyone know that summer doesn’t have to suck

LIFE IN THE HOOD

ALL PHOTOS BY MITCH ALLEN

So we finally got off our asses and made the trip to HOOD. It took a few weeks longer than we wanted but there is a lot that goes into managing a company and it’s not always on the snow. Luckily we got out of Utah before the heat knob got cranked to SCORCH YOUR NUTS and thinking about snow is not an option when its that FUCKING HOT!!!!! This summer we have a large number of team riders that are shredding/working at the camps and we are going to post up for the next 5 weeks and document LIFE IN THE HOOD. Keep checking back because our days of slacking on our updates are OVER.

mitch_allen_062409_3064

It’s always good to see the slush filled Volcano and know that you’ll be shredding all summer.

mitch_allen_062709_3316

Parker Duke is going to have a better summer than you!! 

mitch_allen_062909_3464

Chris Beresford has been spending the past few summers at hood and this invert is proof that it has been time well spent.

mitch_allen_062909_3437

mitch_allen_070109_tim_ronan_cripler

 So your sitting at home sweating your ass off and summer is kicking into full gear and all your doing is complaining about how far away the winter is maybe you should make the trip up to Mt Hood. If the simple fact that you can shred on the first of July isn’t enough how about a TOW ROPE that keeps you from hiking so now you can just run laps all day long at HCSC. TIM RONAN is stoked that he didn’t have to hike all day and was able to get his CRIPPLERS on lock.

 

mitch_allen_062709_3350

AUSTEN GRRANGER has become a summer local at HCSC and if he isn’t digging,sleeping or drinking odds are he’s probably bagging shots in the park.

mitch_allen_062909_3385

Last summer Chris Brewster came up to camp and forgot to put on sunscreen and was on his way home within 24 hours looking like FREDDY KRUEGER. It’s one year later and the kid is down for sunscreen and his riding is the only thing that’s on fire now. 

mitch_allen_070109_austin_granger_tim_ronan

AUSTEN and TIM are most likely talking about how they totally kick ass and their summer is kicking your summers ass.

mitch_allen_070109_parker_duke_lifeyrake

DIGGERS pay their dues by getting up at the ass crack of dawn to start digging in the park for hours before anyone shows up…..Its a dirty job but someone has to do it. Next time you ride the pipe are hit a jump think about who was there hours before you showed up to make sure the lips were perfectly raked. These guys work FUCKING HARD to make sure the park is fine tuned and ready to shred every day.

mitch_allen_062909_3394

How’s your FRONT 10 TAIL coming along? PARKER DUKE has been putting in some serious work on his and its well on its way to PROPER. 

mitch_allen_070109_meg_pugh_lifeypipe1

It wouldn’t be a summer at Hood without seeing MEG PUGH hiking either HCSC or WINDELL’S pipe

mitch_allen_070109_meg_pugh_indyhood

Girls pay attention because this is what a frontside air in the pipe should look like. Meg Pugh has dedicated her life to shredding and no matter what obstacles get thrown her way she always has her priorities straight and shredding always comes first in her life. She is dedicated as hell and a true shredder through and through. 

mitch_allen_063009_cory_macdonald_lipslide

COREY MAC is the man that makes it all happen and is the head DIGGER. This guy eats, breathes and sleeps all things shredding and is always stoked. FUCK YEAH COREY!!!

mitch_allen_070109_chris_beresford_lipstall

When Chris Beresford isn’t showing everyone what  the definition of style is he’s busy hustling his shades to campers and shredders. Check out DANG shades. It’s Chris’s brainchild and you can buy them directly from him at the HCSC camps sales or online. Wouldn’t you rather buy some shades from a homie instead of some douche bag company. DON’T BE A DOUCHER….BUY DANG SHADES!!!!!

mitch_allen_062709_3361

CHRIS BREWSTER almost made the fatal decision of working a shit job in AK this summer instead of DIGGING at HCSC. 

mitch_allen_062709_3322

Chances are that this is what Chris BREWSTER will be doing every day this summer at around 10:30 am. How many nose presses did you do at work today?

mitch_allen_062809_3291

MATTY MO is another fixture of the summer shred scene and he was tearing it up the first night we rolled into town. Not only can this dude lay down some beats he can slay shit on his board. Stay tuned to see more of Matty tearing it up on and off the snow. LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP

BODE MERRILL & PHIL DAMAINAKES-HOMIES THAT SHRED TOGETHER GET SURGERY TOGETHER

ALL PHOTOS BY MITCH ALLEN

mitch_allen_060109_2527

Bode and Phil spent most of their season traveling and filming together for ABSINTHE FILMS new movie NEVERLAND. They spent so much time shredding together that they  decided it would be fun to have their knee surgeries done in the same week and rehab together too. Bode suffered a small tear in is meniscus but Phil decided to go all the way and tear his acl. Not only did Phil opt for the gnarlier surgery of the two he also is now the proud owner of some cadaver parts in his knee….aka…he has some dead guys dna chillin in his leg. Here are some of there thoughts on shredding this winter and having surgery.

mitch_allen_060109_2517

GIVE US A RECAP OF YOUR SEASON….HOW IT STARTEd AND HOW IT ENDED?

BODE-

at first i signed with Salomon so i was hyped to have a new board sponsor. after that i started filming with absinthe around salt lake doing a lot of urban stuff and then got to ride a lot of pow the second half of the year. i hurt my knees in february but was still able to get more shots than i thought i would so it worked out. i just had knee surgery so that wrapped up my season.

PHIL

I rolled into the season a little different than past years, I had hamstring graft on my right knee last spring and had spent the entire summer rehabbing, so I was feeling a little unstable. I spent the way early season road tripping to snow doing small jibs, then in December took a most excellent drive to Alyeska Ak with LEVITATION.  Unfortunately I had to cut this trip short to attend a drug study that was seven days of IV’s, oxycodone, and nightly poker with the other lab rats.  This study ended on a sunday morning and with 2G’s plus in my hand I called up my crew to get in sync and start filming. That night I hit a gap to rail with Cale and Bode,and the next day, a tall closeout With Brisse, after that is was a jib blur of non stop trickery!

 

 The filming part of my season ended in a steady Jump pace of hiking up Little cottonwood and taking full advantage of a nuclear winter style late season storm system. It made all the old classics hit-able and unlocked some new never been hit jumps which is ultra rare for Utah. Hoping for a fun a nice final trip but getting a different outcome I blew my left acl, at Super-park.  Since to date I am 2 weeks out of an allograft operation and prepping for the summer of Phil rehab take 2!  
     Funny story on the morning I got out of the drug study, I was supposed to link up with a friend but he wasn’t answering his phone so I drove to his house. It was still early like 8:30-am, his car was gone, the gate was open, and the window by his side door was shattered. Stepping up with surreal intrigue I see blood everywhere, smeared all over the floor, I freak inside  and call out,”Yo Boy”, to my surprise I hear an enthusiastic reply “What up I’m in my room”, tip toeing through blood and peeking past the doorway I see him lying fully clothed except for shoes and his left foot was sporting a gnarly gash surrounded by a pool of the red stuff. I take him to a Minor care center and get all the pieced details of his night, a friend dropped him off cause he was smashed, no keys he broke the window for entry then later stepped on glass giving his foot the wound when he went into the kitchen for some water.  I dealt with my drunken com-padre for the next couple of hours giving him shit for being such a dunce and not having a spare key. Later that night was when I filmed for the first time of the season on a gap to rail with Zima and Merrill, long ass day but a good one I will never forget it.  

 

WHAT WERE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR?

BODE

i went to alaska and japan this year and in both spots there was some of the best snow i have ever ridden. singing kareoke in a japanese dive bar was a highlight for sure. but the best was discovering all the new spots at home. who ever says theres nothing left to do in salt lake is crazy.

WHAT WERE THE LOW POINTS? 

BODE

when i hurt my knees i didnt know how long i was going to be out and i was all worried about not being able to film and finish the year. that sucked

PHIL

 

Not low …depressing but more like a humorous life hurdle. For 2 and 1/2 weeks my water was shut off and I was shitting in a bucket. 

mitch_allen_060109_2537
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HAVING SURGERY IN ORDER TO KEEP SNOWBOARDING?
BODE
its whatever. if i can keep snowboarding ill go through as many surgerys as i need to.
PHIL
I don’t care, I’m a realist. When it is broken you have to fix it. Most important perhaps is knowing that something that can give you the ultimate thrill, can inflict an equal amount of suffering.  Patrick Swayze says it best as his character Bodhi in Point Break, if you are unfamiliar with this flick check it out, could save your life.
 If you want the ultimateyou‘ve got to be willing to pay the ultimate price.”
mitch_allen_060109_2540
SO NOW THAT YOUR DOWN FOR THE COUNT WHAT ARE YOU PLANS TO REHAB AND MAKE SURE YOUR 100% NEXT TIME YOU STRAP IN? WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST HAD SURGERY…..WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE POST- SURGERY SURVIVAL KIT?
BODE
my surgery was mellow. i should be able to ride later this summer but im just going to go to the gym and strengthen the shit out of my legs and i told myself no skating for at least a month. thats going to be the hardest part for sure. 
just go with it i guess try to enjoy the time on the couch. have your girlfriend around, x box, marble blast ultra, lots of snacks, candy and ice cream. reading kills hours of recovery time too. 
PHIL 
   Comfort is key in post surgery scenarios, someone to take care of you; cook, feed, empty piss, etc.  If possible a place with no stairs crouches suck and not being able to feel your leg is no better, least amount of effort is best on you, rest and a stress free environment is your focus. Books, movies, video games, puzzles, board games, and friends are vital weapons to slay the demons of idle boredom!  Your going to be reduced to a worthless lay about for 2 weeks so be prepared.  
mitch_allen_060109_2539
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THIS SUMMER?
PHIL 
By the end of June go to Tahoe and edit for Never-land the Absinthe film, then drive to Hood, see old friends and celebrate our independence day with plenty of libations. It is as far as I can plan, but survive is the theme.
BODE
im just gonna hang out and rehab my knee until i can go to hood and get some summer slush slashing in.
WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO THANK FOR GETTING YOU THROUGH THE WINTER? 
BODE
i would like to thank my parents, celine, nico, java, salomon, absinthe, shane, jim, my friends, my doctor -nate bryan, and sean(cat)
PHIL
For Sure big ups to my film crew; Cale Zima, Dan Brisse, Bode Merrill, Shane Charlebois, Sylvan Bourbouson, LJ, and Butters, everyone was super positive and ultra motivated to work hard.  Next the photo Bros; Bob Plumb, Andy Wright and E-STONE  for always being down to pull the trigger. Special thanks to Zach Leach, Bode, and Shane for above and beyond help. Last but not least Nico Nolan, for showing my more of the world and my pre and post surgery aide Thanks a ton!
