LINE Traveling Circus Season Wrap Up

Zombie Dodgeball…Undead Rising unnnnnnhhhhhhhh
June 10, 2009 By
An epidemic of the living dead plagued Windells campus tonight as the session game of Zombie Dodgeball took place in BOB. Campers and staff chose sides–living or undead–and painted their faces accordingly in order to participate in the session-annual grudgematch of the summer: zombies verses living. The living put up a good fight with bmx coach Tom leading the charge, but the zombies had a bunch of tricks up their sleeves and eventually infected the entire camp, winning the dodgeball title for Session One.
The undead are the reigning champions of dodgeball so far this summer.

Team Terror: The Rome Session at Windells

TEAM TERROR: THE ROME SIGNATURE SESSION AT WINDELLS
June is here and the Summer Camp of Terror is about to start at Windells—a bloodbath of shred with Artifact 1985s impaling LNP, Folsom boot laces strangling Bjorn, and the 390 rising out of Trillium Lake to decapitate campers with the edge of the highback.
And adding to the fun of it all is Team Terror.
Team Terror is the Rome Signature Session at Windells when riders from the SDS descend on camp. During Session 3 from June 26th to July 3rd, Rome riders Bjorn Leines, Eiki Helgason, Marius Otterstad, and Johnnie Paxson will be at camp to coach and hang out with riders. They’ll design custom features on hill during the day and play games of S.K.A.T.E. in BOB (Windells’ skate facility) at night with the campers.
The Windells demo center will be loaded with the new 2010 line from Rome: Poprock powered Artifact 1985s, super snappy Mods, 390s, Libertines, and more. As always Rome Night will feature the opportunity to win a ton of Rome schwag, including a new 2010 jacket from the SDS Outerwear collection.
Head to www.windells.com to sign up for Session 3 so you don’t miss out the signature session with the Rome team at Hood this summer.
Stay tuned to www.romesnowboards.com for more updates on the happenings of the Rome SDS.

Session One Park Update
June 9, 2009 By
The diggers at Windells were working crazy hard pre-session one to put together a banger park for all the session one campers. They definitely outdid themselves and over the last few days, everyone at Windells has been jumping and jibbing their hearts out, enjoying all of the new features. Check out this aerial shot by Windells photog, Darcy Bacha. If this doesn’t make you start packing your bags for Hood right now, I’m not sure what will.
Perfectly groomed every morning for your gnar-getting pleasure.
There’s a pristine halfpipe, a triple line of giant jumps for dialing big spins, a super creative jib line and below all that, there’s a progression features for learning anything you can think of on jumps and rails. The park is loaded with fun hits and it’s only the first session, which means the diggers are still expanding the park! Additionally, with the new rope tow, you can access a tons of jumps, rails and a wallride without ever taking off your skis or snowboard. Awesome.
The new private rope tow makes taking laps sooooo much easier. p: Darcy Bacha

Nick Visconti has been hanging out all session, riding with everyone, teaching clinics and throwing sick mini contests on his disco ball Dream Feature. Nick’s Dream Feature is rad—transition on every side to a lunch tray snow box and a dance floor (and of course, a pole jam for good meaure)–more pics on that tomorrow.
