Bag Jump hits Windells--Snowboarders and Skiers Can Now get Trickier than Ever Before

Bag Jump at Windells Session Three




The Bag Jump is legit.

Late in Session 2 there were a few whispered rumors circling Windells Campus. ' We might be getting a Bag Jump!!! But, shhhhh.' While rumors usually tend to be bogus, this rumor ended up being HUMONGUS. 66x66x13 feet to be exact and on June 27th, every eye on Mt. Hood was glued to the large air-filled landing zone in the Windells park.

As the fourth Bag Jump in the world was inflated on the first day of Windells' (TM) third session, there was an overwhelming element of curiosity in the air. However, when the first rider wasted no time double flipping off the lip and suffered no consequences, Windells campers and staff picked up their jaws and raced to the top of the drop in. The only question left lingering was, what wacky double cork should we learn next?

The BJ is so legit, in fact, that during the session, two major production companies filmed some of the world' (TM)s best snow shredders practicing never-been-done tricks on the Bag Jump and then the tricks were taken to the snow, all in the same day.

' I tried two new tricks into the bag, double front rodeo nine and a double cork nine. Now I know it works I just have to find a perfect kicker and try it on real snow,' said Rome rider, Eiki Helgason, who was at Windells for the Session 3.

' It's pretty much the coolest thing next to tie dye gypsy feathers,' says Tim Windell.

As long as Godzilla doesn' (TM)t catch wind and claim this fluffy air mattress as his bed, the Bag Jump will be in Windells private park all summer' "the only place in the US to have a Bag Jump' "allowing shredders to progress their riding to levels never thought imaginable.
