Shaun White Named Second Member of the U.S Olympic Snowboard Team Along with Kelly Clark

Congrats to Shaun White & Kelly Clark!

With two wins and a second at the Grand Prix, his spot is secured on the U.S Snowboard Team.  He had a sick first run with huge air and back to back double corked 1080s.  With impressive runs at all three of the Grand Prix's so far, Shaun White has proven himself to be a huge threat for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.  He won a gold medal in the 2006 Olympics and many other gold medals in the X Games.  Shaun is an unbelievable athlete excelling in not only snowboarding but in skateboarding as well where he has won multiple other gold medals.


He will ride with three other men and four other women representing the USA.  The other rider named for the 2010 Olympic team is Kelly Clark.  She was the first female and first member added to the 2010 Olympic Team on January 6, 2010.  She also is an Olympic gold medalist.  Kelly won a gold medal in the 2002 Olympics.  In 2006, she was a late qualifier and definitely stepped her game up this year to show she is serious to get her hands on another gold!

**With Kevin Pearce's condition improving from critical to serious condition, keep him in your thoughts and prayers.  We're all with you!!**

Congrats Rocco!

Rocco van Straten is the newest member of the Liquid Force International Wakeboard Team, and they couldn't have made a better choice.  He started his career as a wakeskater with LF and made a big impression after a sick year in 06'.  


He took wins in the European cable and boat in 09' which solidified the decision to make him the newest member of the LF International Team. 


He started snowboarding at 9 and wakeboarding at 15 .  He is on the Dutch international wake and snowboard team.  


Liquid Force is lucky to have Rocco, but Rocco is also lucky to have Liquid Force.  They are an unbelievable company with so much to offer.  I visited their headquarters this past August and was blown away.  They have a design team in house as well as a design room.  LF's wakeboard teams are successful and their market share continues to grow.  


Without a doubt, Rocco van Straten is someone to watch out for.  At just 18, he's got a long road ahead of him to show the world what he's all about.  He is among some of the greatest... Tom Fooshee, Mike Ennen, Shawn Watson, Phillip Soven... and the rest of the LF Teams!


Good work, and congrats Rocco!  


**Keep Kevin Pearce in your thoughts! Stay strong buddy, we're all here for you!**
