How can waterskiing over a six foot ramp at 70mph and flying through the air 200+ feet get anymore exciting? How can we get people out to see this and how can we make these water sports more accessible? The answer is simple. Do it in the dark.

The LA Night Jam III presented by MasterCraft is now in its third edition and more progressive than ever featuring the 2010 line of MasterCraft Boats towing record breaking ski jumpers on Lake 1 and a Sesitec 2.0 cable system for demos and on Lake 2. The 2.0 cable system was developed to learn to ski and wakeboard with out the aide of a boat. Designed with the option of continuous riding, progress moves quickly. This system is a great compliment to a full cable system or as a private back yard set up. Add a few obstacles in the mix and you’re set! Wake Park Project will be on site at the LA Night Jam III doing free demonstrations that evening only.

The LA Night Jam is essentially an extreme water sports competition along side a family festival. There will be live music by Bearfighter and Above Me performed on the Mockler Beverage Budweiser bandstand as well as tunes from DJ Otto playing all night. Sammy’s grill, Domino’s Pizza, and Dippin’ Dots will be onsite for your eating and drinking pleasures. There will be performances from Baton Rouge’s own PyroVixen and the Flying Dragons Skydive team.

Oklahoma State University’s Wakeboard and Waterski Club welcomes all and caters to everyone from the novice to the pro. The club also participates in tournaments in the region.

The club encourages a laid-back atmosphere, but the members aren’t afraid to show off some extreme stunts.
Collin Cory sat on a large desk at the front of a dull, unexciting classroom. His attire and demeanor, however, did not fit the atmosphere.

It was the beginning of a new semester and people began to trickle in for the first Wakeboard and Waterski Club meeting of the semester, glancing around at the bare white walls of the room before taking a seat at one of the desks aligned in orderly rows.

In a way, the room reflected the exact opposite of the club members filing into it.
