On Friday, October 19th the AST Dew Tour Wakeboard Rail Jam made its appearance on the backside parking lot of the Amway Arena (Home of the Magic) in Orlando, Florida. Squeezed in between FMX, BMX Dirt and Skateboard Vert were two very large portable pools making up a step down miniature rail park for ten professional wakeboarders to exploit their skills to a very curious crowd.

So, we [we - meaning...Kyle] are heading to the Dew Rail Jam tonight at Amway Arena in Orlando, FL. We got media permission to video and photograph the event. Hopefully, we’ll [once again, just Kyle] get some cool slow-mo footage with our HVX200 camera. I’m still not sure how Kyle is going to shoot video footage of the event, organize and shoot interviews, take pictures, and dump memory cards onto his laptop when they fill all at one time. It should be interesting. I’d help out, but I’m on girlfriend birthday duty….yikes. So, we should have something for you on here in the next couple of days. Keep checking back. The cake is not a lie. [Editors note: the cake comment is for my fellow Half Life Portal players].
