Session 6 Video Recaps!

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.

Session 4 Snowboard Vids!

Session 4 sure was a blast, and how could it not have been with the likes of Nick Visconti, Curtis Woodman, Jason Robinson and Stevie Bell hanging around. The single largest and longest knockout games ever recorded went down, some pretty incredible skate sessions happened in BOB and the Concrete Jungle and we all shredded one of the funnest on hill parks to date!

Don’t forget about the campers! They have been out there killing it too!

Session Recap videos!

Summer 2011 has officially begun and Session 1 is in the books! Mother Nature has been generous this winter and we’ve got more snow than we know what to do with. Combine that with around a dozen new features and you’ve got an amazing place to ride!

Yobeat dropped in on session one and brought the likes of Forest Bailey, Will Bateman, Nial Romanek, and Johnny Lazz to rip it up! Enjoy the snowboard edit!

On the ski side of things, we have some awesome coaches out here, and some hot camper action session 1. They wasted no time throwing down!

The LIFEBLOOD team rolled through campus and skated for a couple days in the Concrete Jungle. Check out the video!

The skate campers had a good time visiting some of Oregon’s awesome parks, and of course, also ripped up our private park as well.

Forrest Bailey, Nial Romanek, and Will Bateman take a lap from Palmer, through Windells, through Public park and to the Mile lift. It’s over 2 miles!!! That is pretty darn good for summer shredding!
