Hey guys just posting our results and the coverage of everything that went down at 2008 Nationals.
Alisa Piper- took 1st place in tricks, slalom, flipout, freestyle, and overall
Jared Bohlen- 1st place in tricks and slalom.
John Haile- 3rd place in tricks.
It was a great year. I'm not a journalist so I'm just going to give you the run down of everything that happened. Everyone has improved a lot and stepped up their game. Special thanks to the city of Ft. Lauderdale for supporting our competition. This year the AKA (American Kneeboard Association) went green. We gave money to have people go out and plant trees. The drivers had their own little go kart race. The site was amazing. It was right next to a major road on one side, and the other side was next to a large park where there were baseball, softball, and rugby competitions going on at the same time. So needless to say we got a lot of exposure this year. We also enjoyed some amazing music by a band called NeverOff. Oh and I MADE IT RAIN ;) checkout the videos

Kneeboard Nationals will be in Ft. Lauderdale this year from September 12-14. It is going to be an awesome event this year. We are " Going Green" and helping out the environment. There has also been a lot of progression from all of the riders all over the country. Everyone has really stepped it up more than a few notches. This is one event you will not want to miss.

We are a group of kneeboarders that consist of Alisa Piper, John Haile, Jared Bohlen, and Nick Sauls. We are International kneeboarding champs, friends, and most importantly, we are a family. We've know eachother pretty much all our lives. We've all been riding kneeboards all our lives. We live in beautiful Lake Placid, Florida and do a lot of our riding on Lake Redwater.
Alisa Piper is sponsored by H.O. and Accurate Lines and Jared Bohlen is sponsored by O'Brien. This is just a little short summary. I'll add more to it later.
We don't have everything on this site yet, but while we work on it, you can check us out at www.myspace.com/TeamSouthTown
