Year Round Action Sports Camp
This past weekend we got a chance to catch up with the Rome SDS crew for some premiers, some shenanigans, and of course, the Downtown Throwdown. Winter is in the air as the national tour for “The Shred Remains” comes to an end. Having traveled from coast to coast in a van they call home, it was nice for the team to get out and peruse the town, and even do a little guest judging and competing. The 6th Annual DTTD, set in Pioneer Square, attracted a mixed crowd of die hard fans and first time spectators. We joined LNP, Johnny Lazz, Marie France-Roy, Rusty Ockenden, John Cavan, Riley Nickerson, and Derrek Lever for a little taste of snowboarding in the Pacific Northwest.
This past weekend Windells staff decided to organize a couple games of Skate and Bike for the kids that come to Open Skate. We enjoy putting on contests for you to win prizes so what better way then a good old fashion game of S-K-A-T-E.
Hours of Open Skate/Bike are as follows: Friday 5-10pm, Saturday & Sunday 9-5pm However we are closed when Camp is in Session!
Winners from this weekend!
The Farm Project decided to stop by and say “what’s up” too.
The Burn Units crew sent this over and we wanted to share with everyone! Backcountry at night is SWEET!
From Burn:
“This planet is alive. If only we could know what it knows, see what it sees. Sometimes you feel like it’s trying to tell you something, showing you where to look, how to see. Lighting up the darkness ahead, illuminating your soul.”
Burn is honoured and excited to present ‘Alive’, featuring The Burn Units, a rider-led initiative headed by the legendary Austrian snowboarder Gigi Rüf, star of many a Pirate Movie Production and hands-down one of the most stylish riders on the planet. In ‘Alive’ Gigi is joined by fellow Burn Units riders Norwegian freestyle prodigy Ståle Sandbech and ultra-smooth French sensation Arthur Longo.

A week ago we put on a contest to see who could give us the 12 best reasons why Windells Camp is The “funnest” Place on Earth, for a chance to win a pair of size 12 limited edition Windells Nike 6.0 shoes! After reviewing all of your post we were forced to narrow it down to the top 3 due to the tight competition. All of the responses were so legit!
