DC recently visited camp.  With them they brought big timers and big head turners.  Chas Guldemond, Jonas Carlson, and TM Zack Dalton arrived waving a stack of free snowboards in the faces of campers.  In order to determine which lucky campers would get their hands on these sick sticks, they hosted 2 challenges.

1. Milk Gallon chug-off

Jivaro Wheels skate team coming to Windells tomorrow, Monday July 27th!

Jamie Weller lein to tail from skateboard-revolution.com

Everyone knows that PDX is home to some of the best skaters out there, who can annihilate both tranny and street. The Windells skate coaches are examples of the fruits of such good skating–they kill it, and tomorrow they’re inviting some of their friends to come hang out at Windells.

Jivaro Wheels, a local company out of Portland, is sending their skate team to Windells to thrash concrete and skatelite tomorrow night for all the campers to check out. Windells’ own sick skate coach, Jamie Weller, is on Jivaro’s team, so he’ll definitely be throwing down and if Jamie’s skating is any evidence of how good the rest of the team is, Windells is in for an awesome demo.

Who’s coming? Jivaro team members like Brian Sloane, Xeno Miller, Taj Hansen, Willis Kimbel, Peter Gunn, Jeremy Tuffli, Mike and Chet Childress, Andrew Adams, Ben Krahn, Bob Heinz, and more…
