Wake Utah Press Release -
September 5, 2008 WakeUtah.com and Seven Peaks Water Park joined forces to put on the biggest rail jam in Utah history. Over 1600 spectators in attendance watched some of the best wake boarders from 3 states demonstrate their skills on two 40 foot rails. These two rails were placed in the wave pool at Seven Peaks Water Park.
Previously, this year, WakeUtah.com put together a rail competition in the quiet town of Delta, Utah. WakeUtah.com installed a 60 foot monster at the lake home of Ryan Webster. The Delta rail competition was a pre-qualifier for the Seven Peaks rail jam. The top 3 riders were guaranteed a spot to ride the two, wave pool, rails.
The Seven Peaks set up was phenomenal! With a sleek rooftop rail and a solid ‘A’ Frame rail, riders could switch between the two for a chance to show their skills to the massive crowd of people. The constant action was made possible by pulls from two Pulldozer Winch Systems.
Spectators witnessed some huge tricks, including Blake Hansen landing a huge 540 over the middle section of the ‘A’ Frame rail to take the number 1 spot, winning a Liquid Force Press Wake Board for his efforts.
While spectators watched the action they were treated with tons of swag from Marine Product, Zotes Sunflower Seeds, Xbalm, Kingdom Clothing, Fred’s Marine, Liquid Force and Rusty. All the local big name riders from the intermountain area came out to compete: Blake Hansen, the best trick winner; Marc Glover, 2ndwith his big spins; Kevin “Ice” Allphin, third place; Ethan Roberts, qualifying 3rdfrom the Delta Competition; Jenacee Jackson, local pro women; Andrew Wallace, a top outlaw rider; Kolton Barney, a top advanced rider; Zach White, local Marine Products team manager; Cole Wadsworth; Ryan Lewis; and the other Brothers Allphin, Jeremy Allphin and Brian “Nian” Allphin.
WakeUtah.com has been, and will continue to, work hard boosting up the wake boarding scene in Utah. In doing so, WakeUtah.com was invited to be the main attraction at Seven Peaks Water Park, which proved to be a perfect venue. A 60 foot inflatable big screen ensured no one missed the action from multiple cameras trained on the two rails. A professional DJ along with our own announcer Colton Brockbank were on hand to get everyone pumped for the action and throw out swag to the crowd.
Winners of the contest were:
Blake Hansen
Marc Glover
Kevin Allphin
Other winners were all the people who showed up to watch this great event, enjoy an exciting venue and walk away with some great swag.
WakeUtah.com has posted a photo gallery and videos of the event along with DownForTheRide.com which has posts as well.
Note from Dewey: Huge thanks to all the sponsors for coming to the table with great support. Special thanks to all the riders for putting on a great show. Thanks to Josh (DownForTheRide) for the help building, Brothers Allphin the use of their Pulldozer, all the friends and family for all their help, and anyone who has been involved in any way with this and all of our rail projects.

Dewey’s Rail Park Session
Most of us are sun worshippers. When it’s raining and the wind is blowing, the lakes are not in the best condition. When a storm comes, with any chance of magnitude, most are tying down yard furniture and closing windows. I choose to use my time building rails, just for the opportunity that arises about once a year. Multiple parks around the valley will get backed up, and flood. This begins the park session.
With the help of many riders in the area, I recieved about 10 calls from different people about the possible ride venue. After dialing up a few choice riders on my speed dial, and checking out the park for myself, I knew it was on.
Just after finishing the rail Thursday morning, the clouds started to clear and the sun came out. It had rained all day and night Tuesday, and it was a dreary day Wednesday. We threw the newly created rail, The Pulldozer Winch, our plastic folding table of a starting dock, and a few wakeboards in the truck and headed over. It was a simple 16 foot flat bar which we raised about a foot and a half out of the water.
The session took off fast with some mad skills from Marc Glover and Colton Brockbank. Soon after Kevin “Ice” Allphin and myself joined in, with WinchMaster OMJ and James Kleinschnitz. Apparently word of awesomeness travels fast, none other that the Vegas dwelling Brother Allphin, Jeremy and Nian, graced us with their presence. Being the riders that we are, we were not satisfied with a simple rail jam. We started to jib our table. Jeremy Allphin and Marc Glover even made the huge ollie, of about 4 1/2 feet, over the table after standing it up on end. When that wasn’t enough, J. Allphin jumped on the back of the table andgave it a ride across the fresh pond.
In the end, everyone had a good time, nobody got hurt, and the nobody kicked us out. If it starts to rain and puddles grow big enough to ride, make sure to look for Dewey’s Rail, and the WakeUtah crew.
If you know of a possible winch site feel free to contact, email (dewey@deweysrail.com) or call me anytime so we can set up a session. (801) 706-6820

The wakeboardingscene here in Utah is blowing up. There are several lakes, plenty of canals, a few hidden winch spots, but only one, legit, rail set-up. This is known as Dewey’s Rail. Dewey’s Rail is made up of two man made pools, with a 40 foot rail slapped in between. The rail has a few different options, a down to flat, and a flat to down. Along with these selections is countless amounts of variations that can be changed at a moments notice. Dewey’s Rail provides our huge network of Utah riders a new experience that can not be found anywhere in our state and surrounding areas.
With Dewey’s Rail we wanted to put something together that everyone can come out and have a good time, while not having to worry about the logistics. Dewey’s Rail is mellow enough for the beginner, yet challenging enough to give the veterans a good session. This slider is the very same that has been hit by some of the best wakeboarders and wakeskaters in the world at the 2008 Utah Boat Show.
A mass majority of Utah wakeboarders have never hit a rail like this, let alone behind a winch. Dewey’s Rail is an exciting new way to pull the scene together, ride something unique, and have a good time.
This year at Dewey’s Rail we are having planned events, competitions, and meet ups, at least once a week, for almost every week of the summer. Dewey’s Rail is affiliated with WakeUtah.com which will spread the word to all Utah wakeboarders information on events and session days. Dewey’s Rail has been in various media outlets both locally and nationally. Including a recent story in the latest Wakeboarding Magazine (June ‘08) pages 84 and 85.
Thank you taking the time to check out and visit Dewey’s Rail. I look forward to seeing you all at the rail. Free free to contact me anytime for any information, or sponsorship opportunities. (801) 706-6820.
