Bithlo, Fla., Sept. 18, 2008 – Wakeskating’s best hit the water today behind the Sea Doo Wake Edition for head-to-head action at The Projects in Bithlo, Florida on the first day of the Byerly Toe Jam presented by O’Neill. Perfect riding conditions and blue skies, set the stage for the highest level of riding possible.
Style never takes a vacation. Andrew Pastura abides...
Some amazing showdowns gave the judges a hard time, but in the end it was Reed Hansen and Andrew Pastura in the head-to-head final. Just about every variation of flip trick and big spin went down, including a stomped, in-to-out 360 flip in Hansen’s final run, and a backside flip in Pastura’s semifinals run. Australian Chris Kallas also landed a perfect backside 540 big spin in the flats, the first ever in competition.
Reed Hansen, "hammer time." Would this trick look better or worse with MC Hammer pants? IDK!!
The results of the rail final will be announced on Saturday at OWC. Keeping with Scott Byerly’s vision to showcase all aspects of the sport, riders will compete in four different disciplines: cable park (OWC), winch setup (OWC), rail park (today at The Projects) and boat (Air Nautique 210 also at The Projects tomorrow).
Byerly would like to thank the sponsors of the Byerly Toe Jam including presenting sponsor O’Neill, Rockstar Energy Drink, Hyperlite, Reef, Arnette, Correct
Craft and Sea Doo. None of this would be possible without their support.
