FUEL TV to Air Rockstar Rail Jam Stop 1 of Toe Jam Wakeskate Series
Four-Stop Series Will Showcase Wakeskating’s Best Talent on FUEL TV
 
Orlando, Fla. – FUEL TV is set to air stop 1 of the sport of Wakeskating’s most elite contest, The Toe Jam Wakeskate Series, presented by Rockstar on Tuesday, July 1, 2008 at 8:00 pm (Eastern & Pacific Time), on FUEL TV’s new summer Wake Block and re-air it several more times over the next month.  
 
Tune in to watch, The Rockstar Rail Jam, which debuted this spring on April 7-9 at The Projects Wakeboard Camp in Orlando, Florida. At this stop the world’s top wakeskaters battled on the rails behind the new Sea Doo Wake Edition PWC’s for the opportunity to qualify for two spots in the final stop of the series at the Byerly Toe Jam. There was also a wake competition behind Nautiques 210 where riders battled for an additional $5,000. This stop of the Toe Jam was made possible with the support of Rockstar Energy Drink, Sea-Doo, O’Neill, Nike 6.0, Liquid Force, Arnette and Air Nautiques.
 
Founded by Scott Byerly, the Toe Jam is designed to challenge wakeskaters in four categories including rails, wake riding, cable park, and winch-towed sessions. The newest addition to the tour will be in Wasaga Beach, Canada, at the former site of Wakestock. This stop and two others will give all riders a chance to qualify for the fourth stop (the main event), the Byerly Toe Jam in Orlando this September.
 
Rockstar Energy Drink stepped up again this season as the title sponsor for the Toe Jam Tour. O’Neill will also continue their legacy as the title sponsor of the Tour’s final event, the Byerly Toe Jam. Over $50,000 in cash and prizes will be there for the taking with a $10,000 purse at each stop and another $10,000 purse for overall results.
