Session 7 caps off summer at Windells

By: Heather Hendricks

Summer camp is already over at Windells? No way.

Hard to believe, but yes, totally true. Summer shredding on the snowfield on Mt. Hood is officially over for the 2011 season.

For seven weeks campers and pros made memories of lifetime by shredding slush, crushing concrete and getting hyphy at camp cookouts and events.

It was just way too much fun for our little brains to handle, so read on for the full recap of the antics from Windells.

Words: Windells

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.

The Technine Team hosted Session 7. Derek Dennison, Dylan Thompson, and Andrew Brewer were joined by Ben Bilodeau, Zander Blackmon, Brady Larson, and of course, Marc Frank Montoya. In true T9 fashion, the team went hard, both on hill and off, riding, filming, and putting on tons of games for campers.

Here are a few highlights from the last session of the summer:

- The Windells Diggers added more features to the rail zone and the Technine crew held a competition for campers on the prism wedge, Jersey barrier and down tube. Dylan Thompson did an impressive mini handplant, Derek Dennison helped campers learn switch ollies, and Andrew Brewer emceed.

- The Second Annual Technine Doughnut Eating Contest went down in the courtyard. Derek and Brewer officiated and Dylan competed, consuming at least 12 mini doughnuts before the powdered sugar started flying, coating everyone in a snow-like layer of sweetness.

- Dylan Alito was at camp and put on a Hobo Shred Wear backflip clinic with Brandon Hobush. Campers and staff hucked away the afternoon, learning backflip variations, while a small crowd hooted and hollered. It was definitely summer boardin' fun.

- To close out the session, MFM DJ'ed a Skullcandy dance party for campers, which included a breakdancing competition. A couple of campers threw down with moves that could have passed on any MTV dance-competition show and one lucky guy won a Technine snowboard.

It's been an amazing summer at Windells, but the fun isn't over yet. There's tons of skating to be done and winter camps begin in December! Stay updated with all of the fun at www.windells.com and see you next summer!

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

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...
