When it’s a hot, summer afternoon in the woods of Oregon and you’ve spent all day shredding, what’s one of the best ways to cool down?
Waterballoon fight!
Well, maybe not exactly a fight, as a downpour of waterballoons from the top of a van where members of the Technine Team are throwing them at a crowd of people. Sounds like a pretty good time? We thought so. For this week’s Take me back Tuesday we remember Technine waterballoon surprise. Continue reading →
Here at Windells, we’re lucky to be able to meet and hang out with some of the best snowboarders, skiers, and skateboarders in the world. Each summer, some amazing riders visit Mount Hood and spend time at camp, shredding the on hill park and skating the Concrete Jungle. Some of guys and girls that come to camp become good friends, and keep coming back year after year. But, what do these talented guys and gals do when summer is over? Well, we are stoked that some of the members of the Windells family are inviting us along for the ride this winter, by sending us updates of the adventures that go down while they’re traveling, filming, competing, shredding with their friends, and having tons of fun this winter.
Dylan Thompson is an Oregon local. Dylan’s from Hood River and has ridden at Windells for year. He’s always been a staple in the Windells park. The last two years, he has hosted a session at camp with the Technine Team and we’ve gotten to know this awesome guy even better. He is a little shy when you first meet him, but there’s nothing quiet about his ability on a snowboard. This year, Dylan completely annihilated the rail line in the park. You’ve probably seen some of the footage in our videos. In addition to his on hill skills, Dylan’s always down for fun at camp. He competed in the Second Annual Technine Doughnut Eating Challenge with the campers, consuming his weight in powdered sugar. Dylan’s awesome, so we wanted to see what he has been up to since camp ended. Judging by the photos of Dylan at premieres, contests, and with giant contest IOU checks in his hands, he’s been busy. Here’s the first installment of On the road…with Dylan Thompson. Continue reading →
This last weekend held the 7th edition of the Frontline Rail Jam across the pond in Stockholm on October 1st. The setup was definitely a good one. A lot of stairs equals a lot of potential for painful bails. There were some pretty crazy moves going down, but in the end, it was Denis Leontyev who came out on top. This past summer, Denis graced us with his presence here at Windells Camp. If you have seen any of his riding, you know he has some next level rail skills.
Check out the footage of the Rail Jam here:

It’s official: 2011 summer snowboard camp has come to an end. The towropes have stopped, the rails have been taken down, and everyone’s boots will finally be given the chance to dry out. It’s always sad to see the season go, but lucky for everyone at Windells, Session 7 was one of the best summer finales that we could have asked for. The weather was super sunny and there was tons of snow, so it was perfect both on hill and in the Concrete Jungle. Campers, visiting riders, and staff spent every moment shredding, making sure to squeeze the most fun out of the session before it was over. Continue reading →
