DALLAS, TX. (July 23rd, 2007) – The Monster Energy Drink was flowing, the wakeboarders were flying high and the crowds were cheering wildly as some of the top wakeboarders in the state of Texas descended on Dallas Market Hall this past weekend for the Monster Energy Wakeboard Rail Jam. It was the featured attraction of the all new Outdoor Expo Area at the 22nd Annual Dallas Summer Boat Show.
The “Monster” set-up was provided by Orlando based Step-Up Productions who lived up to their name by building an impressive three pool course that included a forty foot rail coming out of a raised starting pool twelve feet off the ground into a huge sixty-by-thirty foot landing pool. They also had a ground level pool with a kicker over a fifteen foot gap to the landing pool.
“We created the new Outdoor Expo area to bring a little added excitement to the summer show”, said Frank Pillsbury, Marketing Director for the Boat Show. “The goal was to give consumers even more reasons to attend the show by providing added features that are fun for the whole family…and it worked!”
The wakeboard demos started on Friday evening and continued throughout the weekend. The bleachers were filled at every performance and the crowds were treated to some insane wakeboarding action from some of the top pro and local riders in the state, including CWB Pro team rider Gabe Lucas, Liquid Force Pro Team rider Tom Fooshee and Bret Little, who was recently signed to the Byerly Pro Wakeskate Team after his first place win at the Byerly Toe Jam in June. They were joined by brothers Clint and Collin Gee, Eric Nickstad, Brad Allen, Ross Skrudland, Richie McKee, Earl Ball, Joe Lemberg and a very special appearance from one of the original Texas rippers, Chris “Big Air” Ramirez.
In addition to Monster Energy Drink, the new Outdoor Expo area was made possible with support from Marine Max, Sewell Hummer, Geico Insurance, the Dallas Morning News and H20 Clothing.
“There is no doubt the Monster Energy Wakeboard Rail Jam helped us make the new Outdoor Expo a home run,” said Pillsbury, “In addition to providing great entertainment for show attendees, it provided an excellent venue for our sponsor/partners to receive maximum exposure to a very important group of consumers in a relaxed, fun, atmosphere…and that’s what makes for a good event!”

In 1979 the first ever World Snurfing Championship was held at Pando Winter Sports Park near Grand Rapids, Michigan. Jake Burton Carpenter, came from Vermont to compete with a snowboard of his own design. There were many protests from the competitors about Jake entering with a non-snurfer board. Paul Graves, the top snurfer at the time, and others, advocated that Jake be allowed to race. A “modified” division was created and won by Jake as the sole entrant. That race was considered the first competition for snowboards and is the start of what has now become competitive snowboarding.
Snowboarding is a sport that involves descending a exam king slope that is covered with snow on a snowboard attached to a rider's feet using a special boot set into a flexible mounted binding. The development of scwcd dumps snowboarding was inspired by skateboarding, surfing and skiing. It was security+ braindump developed in the U.S.A. in the 1960s and the 1970s and became a Winter Olympic Sport in 1998. Many crude versions of the snowboard were made up to 100 years before the first commercially manufactured model, but it is believed that the first snowboard was invented and manufactured in Utah beginning in the 000-025 early 1970s.[citation needed] This claim was commemorated in 2007 by the United States mint when a snowboard theme was among the three semi-final designs of the Utah state quarter.
