I have been training and mentally preparing for the weekend but I know I can plan for nothing when it comes to the shenanigans of next weekend. Seriously.
If you live in Orlando or even if you're visiting from April 23-26th, I can promise you a good time. Beginning with Wake Games on Thursday the 23rd. Wake Games will be holding it down at OWC on the boat lake from Thursday all the way through until Sunday. You can watch both your buds and your favorite pros ride, pretty rad combo of events. After Wake Games on Friday and Saturday evening you best stick around OWC. Byerly's Toe Jam will be taking place with the top wakeskaters along with their hipster entourage. You may as well stay out for both events, with gas prices on the rise, it only makes sense.
After you've spent nearly 12 hours at OWC on Saturday, why wouldn't you want to celebrate your marathon day of wake, with a wake party. "Out of the Pond" will be premiering downtown Orlando at the Lake Eola Ampitheater on Saturday night. Check my video section for a trailer and you'll be convinced to celebrate the premiere.
On Sunday the finals will be going over at OWC for Wake Games. You'll most likely be hungover on Sunday or just beat, so this is a good opportunity to catch sun and watch riding while still feeling like you had a productive day.
To wrap up this banger of weekend, Collin Harrington will be premiering his "Box of Fun" downtown at the Social. This will be out of control. Guaranteed. The boys on Clear Lake will definitely have a work hard/play hard mentality that will be shining on Sunday. Just an FYI: The Social is awful for underage drinkers, I've seen many a fight go down due to underage cocktails...check yourself before you wreck yourself.
