Will Bateman is one of our favorite people.
He’s hilarious, an awesome friend, and a heck of a good snowboarder.
Oh yeah, he is sick on a skateboard, too.
Will is always down to shred with campers and help them learn new tricks.
His riding is really creative and he offers up a unique look at lines and features in the park.
When I was like 15 I was a camper here.
Eric Dummer was my coach, and he is now my Team Manager at Academy.
He just became the team manager, which is super weird.
It all circles back.
I just remember thinking that it was the funnest place I?d ever been.
I had never been able to snowboard and then skateboard all in one day.
I made a bunch of friends and had a fun time skating and snowboarding.
I won a free a session to Windells at Spring Loaded [a contest in Killington, VT].
When were you at Windells this summer?
Earliest I?ve ever been here and it was awesome.
So much more snow.
It was really fun, we got lucky with the weather.
What was your favorite part about the park on hill?
I love that there are tow ropes, so I don?t have to hike.
They?ve got a lot of good rails; I like all the rails.
I like the jumps, I like everything about the park.
I like the diggers.
They all build good parks, they?re all good people and sick snowboarders.
What is your favorite thing about Windells campus?
Basically it?s the funnest skatepark because it?s neverending.
I love the skatepark.
The new stuff, the three set and that downrail with the ledge, all that stuff is sick.
What was the event on hill that you guys put on?
What was an awesome moments from you session?
It was really sweet when me and Forest were taking laps with camper Caleb from Anchorage, Alaska.
It was sweet seeing a kid like that who was ripping.
He just had a good attitude.
Can’t wait to hang out and ride with you this summer!
