USASA Nationals with Windells

April 14, 2011 By Marsha

Windells hit the road last week to support the largest snowboard competition in the world! USASA Nationals draws in thousands of competitors from every corner of the United States. Athletes of all ages gear up and train for the events at Copper Mountain, CO in hopes to get on that podium and represent their home series. Nationals brought 1,215 snowboarders and 427 skiers to the hill for an amazing week of competition and events.

This year, competitors, patrons, and volunteers remembered the unmatched efforts of Chuck Allen, founder and life long supporter of the USASA Program. During the fun week of comps, Windells worked to raise money for the Chuck Allen Scholarship Fund, providing financial aid to deserving young athletes. Thanks to all of those who supported the raffle and donated to a great cause. With everyone’s help, Windells raised over $7,000 for the recipients to put towards tuition, camp, travel expenses, and competitions.

Congratulations to all of the competitors. Medal or no medal, it’s an achievement just to get to Nationals, so give yourself a high five. We hope everyone had an amazing competition season with USASA and we look forward to seeing you this summer at camp!

Denver Big Air

February 6, 2011 By Windells Media

This was what it looked like atop the scaffolding at the Denver Big Air. Windells Academy Student Easton Gilman was one of the 10 riders from the US to be invited to compete on January 26th. Easton was able to make it through the qualifying rounds and advance to finals.

Finals consisted of each rider getting 3 hits. Here’s Eastons first, a backside double rodeo 900. Not bad for being 16.

Easton on the monitor spinning a FS720 and to the left getting advice from another rider and Academy coach Miah Wheeler.

Eastons final trick was a FS10, he didn’t quite get it clean but the TV cameras didn’t seem to mind! Easton ended up finishing the event in 7th place with Rocco Van Straten in 1st, Zak Stone in 2nd and Michael Macho in 3rd.
