Session 6 at Windells: Rome Team invades Mt. Hood

By: Heather Hendricks

Holy Guacamole. Session 6 at Windells is over and out which means there's only one session of camp left this summer.

Shenanigans right?

Summer flew by this year, partly because of all the fun in the sun everyone was having up at Mount Hood. Session 6 looked to be one of the best weeks of camp to date with the Rome Team stomping through and staking their claim.

Big shots such as Bjorn Leines, Johnny Lazzareschi, Lucas Debari, and Marie Hucal, spent the week slaying the park and getting jibtastic on the plethora of rails.

Session 6 was a hard-rocking, rip-roaring, rager on the glacier.

Check the fun, son.




Words: Windells
Windells Session 6 was sunny. Every day. As everyone's levels of vitamin D
increased with the perfect weather, so did the smiles, high-fives, and appetite for
summer shredding. The end of summer couldn't be better; there's so much snow
that we're still riding all the way down the mountain and the Windells park is out
of hand. It's got the feel of a good skatepark, with various ways to hit everything,
lending to some impressively creative shredding. There are tranny finders and tube
lines, running both across and down hill, the jump line is lapable, and there's now a
quarterpipe at the end of the park. Thank you, Diggers!

Even though summer is coming to an end, there's no shortage of radical summer
snowboard vibes at Windells. Here are some of the highlights from Session 6:

1. It was Rome Week at camp and the SDS brought the Summer of Shred '11
to camp. Bjorn Leines, Johnny Lazzareschi, Lucas Debari, Marie Hucal, and the
AmArmy shredded both on hill and on campus. Ever wanted to learn how to do a
back 180 with help from a legendary 'boarder? Bjorn Leines was on hand teaching
campers the finer points of spinning their snowboards. Epic.

2. Johnny Lazz was back on campus, megaphone in hand, and all was right at Mount
Hood. Even though Lazz may not necessarily need a megaphone to blast his familiar
laugh through Mount Hood National Forest, camp is always better when he's mic'd
up. Lazz and Lucas held a Rome knockout game, showing off their own basketball
skills, while trying to knock out campers.

3. The Flow Team was at camp, too, including Tim Humphreys, Brandon Reis, Nial
Romanek, Shane Fortier, Sarka Pancochova, and the Flow Microns. The Microns
rode in a swarm around the park, a line of short rippers hitting everything in front
of them. Flow gave campers a leak of their new team movie, showing not only the
teaser, but also some extra footage and bail shots direct from Tim Humphrey's
private clip stash. Tim also showed his newest GoPro edit, before anyone else got to
see it.

4. Dylan Thompson and Jonah Owen held an ultimate tube session up on hill.
Rumored tricks that went down include a back three on back five off, and cab five on
back three off...maybe even back five off. Video footage to be out soon.

5. The Rome Team hosted the most rock 'n roll Thrasher Night of the summer, you
could practically hear the air guitar solos. Then, they put on face paint for Zombie
Dodgeball and then, Bjorn hosted the most extreme egg/spoon race ever seen
at summer camp, with tons of obstacles and prizes. The week was packed with
hilariously fun activities!

There's one session left and the Technine Team will be at camp, so check for lots of
updates at www.windells.com and start planning for next summer to come hang out with us!

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

The 18-year-old stomped it off a massive kicker in Europe.

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
