Byerly Toe Jam Wakeskate InvitationalThe Projects Press Release
Date: 04-01-2004
Concept
Scott Byerly wanted to create a wakeskate only contest that provides riders various formats in which to excel. The event will be an invitational of ten riders with two open spots per class filled through a pre-event qualifier. The unique event format will consist of head to head heats on multiple courses: one traditional format behind a Team Edition Nautique and one slider format behind a Yamaha Wave Runner at The Projects.
Total prize money is over $4,000 broken down between the two individual events as well as the overall. Additionally, there will be a "best trick competition" utilizing a winch on Friday night, April 23rd.
Prior to the event, on April 22nd and 23rd, challenge rounds will be held to fill two open spots for both the boat competition and the PWC-Slider competition. The cost of entry is $40 for anyone interested. A downloadable form will be available on oneill.com on April 5th as well as on site at sign up on the morning of April 22nd.
