There is a well known saying that what goes up, must come down. It?s often what keeps me going. This weekend though I took part in a race that went against all of this logic. Altitude is one thing but the ascent involved was another thing entirely. The UK is relatively flat and where I?m based is even flatter. Cheshire has precisely zero hills, a recipe that doesn?t bode well for hill training....
The Nike 6.0 team was at Windells Session 2 and they made it a memorable one. Sage Kotsenburg had his second annual birthday party here at Windells. Ten lucky campers were picked to compete in the chance to win Nike boots and other 6.0 prizes. In the end lots of frosting was consumed in very little time, and a winner was crowned. Delivering the outcome… This camper loves to party!...
This game was pretty simple but had a disgusting mental twist to it. The winning team was hooked up with Capita gear and a free pair of briefs as a dirty souvenir. Here are some photos to help explain. These were meant for a large man, instead children are playing with them. Syrup and more syrup. Tsunami shows you the before and after, and great facial expressions. These guys both could fit in one pair of underwear....

Photoshop is one MONSTER of a program. Instead, they would just add more black or white to darken/brighten where you painted. It makes these work incredibly well! Create a copy of the background layer with CMD+J for macs, and CTRL+J for PCs. It's not necessary but very highly recommended. you’ve got the option to find more information on this here.2. 3. Then, set the opacity for the effect to 8-12%....
Thanks to Jonathon Chandler for taking some photos of the day.

The Lifeblood team came through Windells this last week and threw down some hammers. Above Cody Lockwood shows you how to perform a proper stalefish. If Bruce Lee was still alive he would skate like Frank Faria. Kevin Kowalski slaying the concrete jungle. Under the tree Kowalski lays down the overcrook. Tongue’s out pops out.
Adult Camp this year went down Session #1 June 14th - 18th. It was one of the funnest and most progressive adult camps ever! The adults were awesome; they had so much energy and enthusiasm. They were also the first group to see and ride our summer terrain park.
Topping it off, the open boundary access to terrain on Donner Summit is unmatched in Tahoe. True adventure skiing back country lines with easy access in and out. This pays off when I don’t have a lot of time to ski. I can go up to the Bowl for 2 hrs and torch myself on the quick turn around. This winter was unreal. We had a December that will go down as the best ever for me....
Summer has officially begun at Mount Hood. The jumps are salted, the towropes are turning, and campers are strapping in and learning new tricks. Session 1 just wrapped at Windells and it was a seriously sick start to the season. This shot of Derrek Lever?s frontlip is fire. If Derrek could grow a mustache, it?d fiery too. Because he?s a redhead. Watching Johnny drink it, too. Lazz, Forest, Will, and Nial plugged their noses and drank liquefied lasagna with the campers....
