Year Round Action Sports Camp
It’s November 4th in Oregon and the sun is still shining! Windells Academy’s head skateboard coach Jamie Weller took the students to Newberg skatepark for the day. The smiles were never ending, the concrete was plentiful, and the sun would just not quit. All the students were so thankful for Jamie’s encouraging words and helpful tips.

SHOW US YOUR BOOTS!
Full Tilt Ski Boot Giveaway
“I thought once I ran out of these boots I would have to retire from skiing.”- Seth Morrison
Full Tilt’s commitment to keeping the Original 3-Piece design alive has been inspired by the passionate people skiing them for all these years. With over 30,000 views of the already 200+ submissions in two weeks, the “Show us Your Boots!” online contest is an opportunity for these skiers to virally share their real-life inspiring stories & pics about keeping their own pair of original 3-piece boots alive, just like pro skier Seth Morrison. Seth has been riding the same boot design for over 21 years and they seem to work well for him. For everyone else that doesn’t own a pair, they can just explain why their current boots aren’t working and why they deserve a new pair of Full Tilts.
Each month’s most inspiring, convincing & more often than not hilarious submission wins a new pair of Full Tilt Ski Boots of their choice & also appears in web ads re-promoting the contest. September’s winner was Stephan “Chai” Chaikovsky of Denver who was so desperate for some new boots he created one on his foot with some markers! The question remains, who will win the next pair? Will it be the guy with the Full Tilt logo tattooed on his shoulder or the kid who’s dog pooped in his boots, or someone else?
Another Windells Summer Edit featuring Professional Ski Coach: Liam Downey. He spends his summers at camp dropping his knowledge of skiing to campers but when he is not skiing the warm slopes of Mt Hood, he spends his time filming with Level One. See more of Liam in this year’s flick, Eye Trip.

Session 7′s edit for skateboarding is live – we know it took a few extra weeks to post but in our defense, we also had one of the biggest skate sessions ever that week. Long Story Short, we had lots of footage stacked to sort through & this is how it turned out.

Gina Petrice, 16 from San Francisco, California earned herself a pair of Dakine/Windells pipe gloves for completing almost 40 assignments in one week. What keeps Gina motivated? Competitions, friends, free gear and Kumara Kelley to name a few.
If you did not have the chance to check out Tom Wallisch on Fuel Tv’s FirstHand a month ago or so, it is now available to watch on Hulu.com. One piece of Tom’s lifestyle they did not portray in the episode, is that he spends summers at Windells learning, coaching and having fun! And, 2 of the Windells Filmers, Tyler Malay and Jake Strassman helped out filming the show…Great Job!
