Cowtown Cup

“Cowtown Cup” Wakeboard Rail Jam Competition To Be Featured at Fort Worth Boat and Sport Show Fort Worth - TX (JANUARY 2008) –

The 53rd Annual Fort Worth Boat and Sport Show presented by Thornhill Nissan returns to the Fort Worth Convention Center January 17th-20th. In addition to featuring the 2008 line-up of boats and boating accessories, the show will once again play host to an exciting Indoor Wakeboard Rail Jam! Last years Rail Jam Demo featured some of the top riders in the state and was definitely considered one of the highlights of.... the show. This year’s event will be a full-blown competition- “The Cowtown Cup” - with a $1000.00 cash purse up for grabs! The rail jam set-up, provided by Dallas based Ridin Rails, includes two portable pools filled with over 50,000 gallons of water and separated by two forty foot rails. Riders perform tricks as they are pulled across the 200 foot course by a high-speed gas-powered winch. Sliding or grinding on rails has been a part of wakeboarding for the past few years but until recently, it has all happened behind a boat on a lake. Now, with the use of portable pools and a high speed winch, instead of watching the riders from 100 yards away on the shore, spectators can be just a few feet from the action! Practice sessions will take place on Thursday and Friday evening, qualifying on Saturday and finals on Sunday. One paid admission gives you unlimited re-entry all weekend so you can catch all the action! The “Cowtown Cup” Wakeboard Rail Jam Competition is made possible with support from Waterski Boats Dallas, Texas Mastercraft & Chaparral, Waterski America, Woly Board Company, Thornhill Nissan and the Fort Worth Boat Show. The event is being produced by Geiger Media in association with Innovative Event Management.
