This year will be the first annual Between The Bridges Festival in Chattanooga, TN. Located on the 21st Century Riverfront, it will prove to be the premier location for wakeboarding competitions. With arena seating right in the heart of downtown, it is usually a no wake zone, but for two days it shall be over run by the wakeboarding communitty. There will be over 10 bands playing right next to the water.
All levels of wakeboarding will be competing for prizes from Red Bull, MasterCraft, CWB, and many more. Cash prizes will be offered for Outlaws and Wakeskating.
We hope to see riders from throughout the south, for this competition will get bigger each year!
More information will be following in the next couple of weeks, but start spreading the word.

Our website, betweenthebridgesfest.com, should be up within the next two weeks.

The organizers of the event are Aaron Long and Douglas Wheelock, owners of the Chattanooga Wakeboard Clinic. Also, David Schwind, and John Troutner, both great riders and entrepreneurs in their own right.

PASS THE WORD!

betweenthebridges,
Is this going to be an INT thing, or just an event? I might be able to make the trip.

This whole thing sounds cool...Its almost like they built that whole arena just so people could watch wakeboarders...its a perfect setup

Bo! How ya been man? Its def been quite a while.....

betweenthebridges · Newbie Joined: 16 Mar 2006 Posts: 8 City: chattanooga

Yeah, yall are so right. There is no other wakeboarding arena like this in the entire nation. I completely respect Boardstock, but we have the SUPREME location for an event of extreme caliber. Tennesee riders have to pump this up. I don't want to sound cocky, but we can be the Orlando in the heart of the SouthEast. Lets make this happen. This includes all of us. Evan, Arron, George(s), Phil, etc.
GO BIG OR GO HOME!
