Toe Jam in Texas Coverage

"And on June 9th, a new Toe Jam champion was crowned. Call it a home court advantage, but there was no one else who even came close to Bret Little’s consistency and variety on the cable. He had flip tricks in the flat. He had shuvs on, and off of just about everything. He had style and grace on the giant wakeboard rails. And in the end, it was enough to defeat Brian Grubb in the head to head final."

Day One Results From The Rockstar Cable Jam

"30 of the best wakeskaters in the world threw down big-time today for the Rockstar Cable Jam, the second stop on the Byerly Toe Jam Wakeskate Tour, at the TSR cable park in New Braunfels, Texas.

Not much was expected out of the riding, due to high winds in the area, however it had little impact on the riders, with impressive runs in every heat. Some standouts were Nick Taylor’s backside 360 off the kicker, George Daniels’ boardslide kickflip off the incline rail, Drew Danielo’s huge shove indy over the Liquid Force transfer box, Brian Grubb’s deadly consistent riding, Bret Little’s high ollie to shove off the transfer box and Reed Hansen’s kickflip and varial flip.

Event producer Scott Byerly was amazed at the level of today’s riding and is looking forward to the upcoming two days of competition. “Everybody’s throwin’ down even though it’s windy. Hopefully it will calm down, but either way, these kids are ripping.” Byerly would like to thank the sponsors for their incredible support and excitement for the Toe Jam tour during its first nationwide tour. The Rockstar Cable Jam is made possible with the help of Rockstar Energy Drink, Nike 6.0, Billabong, Liquid Force, and the TSR.


Friday’s action starts at 11 a.m. with the top 16 riders competing in a bonus wake competition behind the MasterCraft X-Star at TSR’s private competition lake. Saturday will be the cable final. For more info, go to www.byerlytoejam.com."

Liquid Force SST Wakeskate

"After more than two years of shaping, development and serious trial and error (plus a whole lot of hype and rumors) the Liquid Force SST wakeskate is finally here. The SST is Liquid Force's first dual-deck wakeskate and features a flat, wood deck on bottom and a concave, compression-molded deck on top. The SST was originally thought up by Silas Thurman, who had this to say about final."
