Changes are coming for Summer 2013! Everyone’s favorite indoor skatepark is getting renovated. We can’t leak too many of the details, but we can say that you definitely want to get here and check out the changes! The trampolines are moving to allow space for more aerial and floor training, a new mini ramp is going in, and the most exciting addition is the new 12,000sq ft street plaza. The brains behind the operation are Jamie Weller and some of the crew responsible for the X Games, Dew Tour and Maloof Money Cup courses.

Who’s ready to skate some brand new terrain? BOB will be ready to go for Summer 2013! Get registered for your session at the “funnest” place on earth.

Windells Indoor Skatepark: Portland’s Hidden Gem

December 14, 2012 By 23 Comments

Portland, Oregon experiences about 160 days of rain a year. In other words, it’s wet. Skaters need to head indoors to feed their hunger, session ramps, and hang with friends. Luckily for us, we have a warehouse full to the brim with fun and creative features. Just 45 minutes outside of Portland, the Windells campus is the perfect place for all  eager skaters of the Pacific Northwest. It might be raining outside, but here at camp we stay dry and skate all day long. Jealous? Don’t be! You can get in on the action every weekend. Check out all the info right here and start escaping the rain at Windells indoor skatepark!
