"railjams" the new sport made the news tonight, just wondering if anyone else saw it on WBIR.

well the footage they were showing were people winching this pond at a place called wild wings here in knoxville. they have a huge a frame rail over a boat a kicker and a flat rail. basically it was wakeboarding/wakeskating winching on a pond, but they referred to the sport as railjamming. Smash

Dude, wildwings, ftw! Birthday

The sad thing is, all the drunks at wildwings just want to see someone get huge air off the kicker and fly through the air. They just don't respect how much technical skill it takes to waterdance. Sad

Edit: i didn't realize this was a post from 5 months ago. My apologies. Laughing
