After four long days of mind-blowing wakeskating, the pro riders and media stormed into The Social in downtown Orlando on Saturday night for the Arnette Awards Party.

The action started off with a premiere of the Annenberg Apocalyptic Tour video, highlighted by a banging ender section from Ben Horan. After the winners were crowned in each event, the coveted Overall Toe Jam Title was awarded to the well-deserving Reed Hansen.

Just as the checks were handed out and champagne few around the room, the night was capped off with an insane performance from the Supervillans and everyone celebrated another hugely successful Rockstar Byerly Toe Jam. Stay tuned to http://byerlytoejam.com in a few months for a special announcement about Toe Jam action for 2012.

RAIL PARK PROWESS — DAY #4 OF THE ROCKSTAR BYERLY TOE JAM
Presented by O’Neill

With the highest number of riders all weekend, the Rail Park portion of the Rockstar Byerly Toe Jam saw nearly 40 riders competing for one of wakeskating’s top honors today at The Projects outside of Orlando, Florida.

After hours of riding behind the Sea-Doo WAKE Edition PWC, the judges had some tough calls to narrow the field down to four. In the four-man final, we saw Reed Hansen, Matt Manzari, Ben Horan and Grant Roberts take to the water, each with a five-minute session and unlimited falls. Hansen was solid all day, throwing multiple flip tricks and solid rail hits like his switch boardslide big spin. Manzari went gonzo with several shove variations off the rails and a huge inside-out varial flip. Horan always bring style to the table, landing his signature kickflip and perfect back lip shove. Roberts put together a long, complete run, with many solid rail hits and a frontside 360 shove.

The results will be announced tonight at the Arnette Awards party in downtown Orlando at The Social. All the awards will be presented as well, including the coveted overall Toe Jam Title.
