FirstHand: Tom Wallisch
September 28, 2010 By
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!
Here is a video recap from 2 Summers ago of Wallisch at Windells, a little more exciting then the tv show.

Bones Wheels
September 9, 2010 By
We heard Bones Wheel’s Crew were cruising around the North West shooting film and photos. We thought it would be a good idea to invite them to Windells Campus SkatePark, 55,000 square feet of skate-able terrain, indoor & outdoor. Bones accepted the invitation and the result, a number of phenomenal & known skateboarders took advantage of Windells park and hospitality. Hours of Skating followed up by some Pool, Burgers and A Sodas. Another good day at Windells, good thing we do not tear down campus each and every summer. Listed below are the guys that swung by with a few pictures of the action.
