There’s only a month until camp starts and all over the country, members of the Windells famiily are getting ready to make their way back to camp. There are lots of staffers that have spent a few years at Windells, and know exactly the items you need to bring to make sure you have the most fun, both on and off the glacier. As our awesome camp crew gets ready to go to Hood, we thought we would ask them to let us in on an important item they are bringing to camp this year, to ensure the most excellent time snowboarding, skiing, skating, and bmxing. Here are their answers, you may find a couple helpful additions to pack in your luggage, too!

My stretching game. Limber up and flex it out because the funnest place on earth definitely knows how to put your muscles to the test on and off hill.

Our long time friends at Evergreen Skateparks are leaving the home turf of Oregon and bringing the world of endless concrete to Israel! Owner Billy Coulon, Peter Gunn, Tavita Scanlan, and Jasper Kahn are taking a quick hop across the pond to head up this amazing opportunity. The crew arrived this week to begin work on what will be the largest skate park in Israel.
The Concrete Jungle will have to live without the guys of Evergreen for the summer months, but not to worry, I think we can put it to good use while they are gone. Good luck guys and show the world what Oregon is made of!
The Satellite Board Shop team is coming back to Windells this summer to rip apart every inch of the Concrete Jungle. This week they announced their 2012 summer tour dates for the infamous American voyage, “Ride With Us.” Ya know what this means guys; endless games of skate, tons of free swag, and a whole gang of talented skaters are headed to Windells this July. Take a look at this video from a couple years back as the guys from Colorado enjoy the “funnest” place on earth. It’s always a good time when Satellite Board Shop makes a trip to Oregon. Don’t miss out ladies and gentlemen.
It’s week two of #Windells and our friends have added a ton of awesome photos using the tags #Windells2012 and #funnestplaceonearth. Keep ‘em coming! Here are some of our favorites and a few from Windells staffers. [Read more...]
Ahh, the Concrete Jungle. Our favorite place to hang out after riding all day. The spine connecting the mini ramps, the vert wall, the whoops everywhere that are perfect for beginner or professional. It’s one of the most fun skateparks in the world, for sure. The best part about the Concrete Jungle is that you can look at the parts of the park in such creative ways. Everyone finds different lines, which makes it really fun to shred with your friends. For this Take me back Tuesday, we’re remembering a day last summer when skate coach Ian Neal took advantage of his creative eye and found a bomb drop off of Dex’s Shop into some transition below.

In case you missed the Session 8 skate edit, here it is for you now! For one week, campers were lucky enough to have the Concrete Jungle as their home base. Every day is a good day when you wake up to over 50,000 square feet of concrete in your backyard. Watch as these skateboard campers travel through Oregon, visiting all the best skate parks in the Northwest.
If you love to skate, having the Concrete Jungle as your backyard for the summer, if the best thing you could ask for. Such is the case for Skate Coach Ian Neal, who by day takes camps all over Oregon and Washington skateparks, and then heads back to the Windells campus to host games of SKATE, kickflip challenges, and skate the concrete.
Ian put together a bunch of his shots from this summer, check it out!
Check out the recap videos from session 6!
Six down, one to go, and still riding down to the parking lot. What a summer it’s been. Session 6 couldn’t have been any better. We had a ton of fun riding the park and sunny skies everyday.
The Surface team dropped in at Windells for skiing, skating, games, and even tie dying.
Session 6 Skate… so much skating.
