Last year I got the call from Kilgus, “how would you like to go to Australia for the filming of Bent Felix?”. Without hesitation I obliged and started planning for a trip of a lifetime.

The trip was stacked with a top notch crew of riders from around the world. Joining the roster were JD Webb and Keith Lyman and from Australia Scotty Broome and Dean Smith. There would also be a few cameo appearances from Amber Wing.

Check out the video trailer for Bent Felix and a few teaser galleries from our trip to Australia.

The day after its founder’s and namesake’s birthday Reed Hansen took the honors at the inagural event of Byerly’s 4th Toe Jam wakeskate tour. As the premiere wakeskating event, the Toe Jam series attracks the best wakeskaters in the world, partly for the quality of competition, and party for the relaxed and entertaining atmosphere.

Reed combined solid riding behind the Wakeboard Edition Sea-Doo and made easy work of the 10 rail obstacles on the course to best impressive riding from the likes of Brandon Thomas, Brian Grubb and suprise performer Nick Taylor. The overall level of riding in this years first stop of the Toe Jam Series proves just how quickly the level of riding is improving.

The full details of today’s final round, along with the dates of the remaining tour stops are after the jump.

Round 2 of the first Toe Jam stop of the season fell on host Scott Byerly’s birthday, and featured more impressive wakeskating from the best riders in the world. The 16 riders that advanced from yesterday’s preliminary qualifying round tore it up behind a 220 Nautique, throwing down multiple flip tricks and spins out into the flats. The surprise upset of the day was Nick Taylor knocking out Aaron Reed in round 5 of the qualifying. Even with a couple of big names failing to advance to tomorrow’s final, the stage is set for some great wakeskating.

Tomorrow will see the conclusion of the first stop of the Toe Jam tour, so stay tuned to see which skater will take top honors. The full summary of today’s action, along with the results are posted after the jump.

The Byerly Toe Jam wakeskating tour kicked off with the first stop in Orlando Florida today. Created by Scott Byerly, the goal of the Toe Jam series is to gather the best wakeskaters in sport for a showcase that focuses on the riders and having a good time. Forget about trick lists or time limits, this is all about the riding and hanging out with friends.

Hosted by The Projects, and put on by Rockstar Energy Drinks, day one of this three day event featured preliminary qualifying behind the Sea-Doo on a course filled with 10 different sliders. The top two riders in each heat moved through to the quarterfinal round to be held tomorrow. For the most part today was upset free, with the exception of Tim Kovacich and Scott Byerly failing to qualify for the next round.

Wakeboarding gets another shot at primetime on Fuel TV’s Insane Cinema program throughout the month of April. Sure, it’s not a major network, but anytime you can catch someone riding a wakeboard and it’s not part of some cheesy commercial, that’s a good thing for the sport.

So program your DVR if you haven’t already seen this unique film from Sean Kilgus and if you have seen it, make sure you remind all of your buddies that haven’t to check out Fuel TV this month.

Check out all of the details, along with a preview of the video after the jump.
