Wild Wing Café, Malibu Boats, Overboard Watersports, Knox Wake and Star 102.1 have come together to bring you Throw N Down Thursdays At Wild Wing Cafe. This is a venue to promote the Knox Wake scene and the riders unique talents on various rails throughout the summer. Riders will be pulled by a winch across the pond as long as there is daylight. Everyone is welcome so tell your family and friends to come join us at 6 on Thursday nights every week this summer. *Bring a blanket/chairs and setup you up an area on the lawn around the pond!* Riders MUST pre-register every week by visiting Knoxwake.com. In August, there is scheduled to be a $1000 Regional rider tournament followed by a $10,000 pro-level rider tournament. The first place rider in the regional tournament will get a spot in the $10,000 tournament. **As the need arises, we will make the necessary adjustments to do a cash prize skate division tournament as well** For all the local riders- Before either of these two tournaments we will have Thursday night scheduled for qualifying in the regional tournament since space and time is limited. There will be more details to come! We have a lot of sponsors and surprises in store for everyone who participates this summer. The sponsors are committed to making this a top notch weekly venue with new docking, new rails, weekly 102.1 DJ’s and prizes for everyone throughout the summer. Please remember, this event can’t happen without your participation and weekly assistance. I welcome and encourage every rider to get involved with winch driving, pwc operation and help with event setup whenever possible. This makes the event work toward your advantage when everyone participates. Now for a few rules that everyone needs to know and understand.
Rider Registration Information

Must be 18 or older. If under 18, you must have a parent or guardian present AT ALL TIMES. This is for insurance purposes and there are no exceptions.

Must be a USA Waterski **Active Member. This must be paid for a renewed EVERY year. Contact www.usawaterski.org if you have any questions or want to pay your yearly membership dues. Another option is to pay $10/weekly to ride. This covers a daily temporary membership to USA Waterski for rider insurance. If you have any questions concerning this call Jessica at 865-675-3800.

Must be willing and able to operate a personal watercraft and/or winch. If you are not familiar with either, our staff will be more than happy to train and teach you how to operate these machines. Again, it is important you participate to maximize riders time on the rails and ensure the event flows smoothly.

All riders must have a VEST AND HELMET on at all times!

Please complete and submit the "Weekly Sign Up Form" located below. It must be done every week that you are wanting to participate. Do not just show up expecting to ride. We will come up with a total of 15 riders (new riders/crowd pleasing standouts) each week. If you don't get picked one week well we will get you in the rotation soon enough! We encourage you to still come down, hangout with the other riders and have some great wings! We want to give everyone a chance to hit the rails so we will start a rotation by weekly submittles/sign ups and post who will be riding a day or two before the actually event.

NOTE: YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY JESSICA AT OVERBOARD PRIOR TO WEEKLY RAIL EVENT TO VERIFY PARTICIPATION.

That is so gross that the boat sank. And no one has the means to get it out. That really pisses me off and it's going to f@wk up wild wings for this summer. It's warming up fast, it's going to be time to ride in about a month.
