Rail Jam

It's BACK!  Bigger and better than ever.  This wild demonstration by wakeboarding pros from around the country will be held on the first 4 days of the Show ONLY.  You're not going to want to miss this!   Wakeboarders will be pulled across a pool by a power winch, launched onto a rail where incredible stunts are performed, and dismounted into a second landing pool.  This is action sports up close and in your face!  It's as exciting for the riders as it is for the spectators.  Instead of watching riders from shore, spectators are now just a few feet away.  New this year for the touring group are aerial launching kick boards that allow these athletes to catch air and perform the advanced stunts that they crave to perform in the summer on their favorite lakes.
