4.18.08 — The Toe Jam Wakeskate Tour kicked off today at The Projects outside of Orlando, Florida with 50 riders competing for a qualification into the next two days of riding at the Rockstar Rail Jam.
Heats were competitive with only two riders advancing out each heat (eight heats of six riders). The Sea-Doo Wake Edition delivered a solid pull with its ballast system and consistent speeds, with Pat Panakos at the helm. In one of the most exciting heats, Danny Hampson landed a boardslide bigger spin off the Sea-Doo incline rail, capping off the best run of the day. Another standout move was a varial heelflip by Gib Gibbons. Overall, this group of riders proved that the sport is at an all-time high. Event founder, Scott Byerly said, “Today was just a taste of what’s to come this weekend.”
16 riders will compete tomorrow in the wake event behind the Nautique 210 at The Projects theprojectspark.com, followed by the rail final behind the Sea Doo Wake Edition on Saturday.
