It is with a heavy heart that we break this news. The legendary 45th St Ditch in Austin Texas has finally met it’s demise. This spot has seen some amazing riding over the years. From Joe Rich’s interview in Props 34 to a recent game of bike between Aaron Ross and Chase Hawk, the 45th St Ditch has been around for well over a decade. Sunday Bikes would to send our final farewell to this simple basic spot that has held countless hours of fun over the years with this video of Sunday AM team rider, TJ Henderson. 45th St Ditch, you will be missed!!

This photo is just too good not to show.  Here Jake Seeley becomes the third rider to finish the Gauntlet of Death at Texas Toast over the weekend. There were so many fun and weird obstacles including a giant pair of Oakley Frogskins and this huge Vans slip on.  Thanks again to Jeff Z and Ride BMX for this photo.

TEXAS TOAST JAM – RECAP GALLERY from ODYSSEYBMX.COM

Odyssey just posted a photo recap of the Texas Toast contest this weekend. Check it out!

Gary Young had a great weekend here in Austin.  Not only did he have a lot of fun at the Texas Toast Jam (just like everyone else), but he took him the win in Pro Dirt and the EmpireBMX Curved Wallride contest.  Big Congrats go out to Gary!!!  Here he is with the winning move, opposite wallride to 270 out.  The wall was  really weird and this was really difficult to do.  First try! Thanks to Jeff Z and Ride for the photo.  More Texas Toast coverage coming.

Do you live in Minneapolis?  Then you will get your chance to meet him during the Journey’s Backyard BBQ Tour stop in Minneapolis on May 28th. Follow this LINK for more info on the stop.  Just a warning, Aaron won’t be showing up on his watermelon bike, but he did take it out for a ride the other day.

Sunday is throwing the 100 foot icepick grind contest at the Texas Toast contest which is happening this Saturday and Sunday, May 28-29 in Austin. If you’re wondering about how long 100 foot is, well I’m standing about 100ft from the camera in the above photo.  The contest looks to be really fun! Whoever ices 100 feet will get $250 bucks.  Check the flyer below for more info.  There’s even going to be a Gauntlet of Death!

Ride your spots today because they might be gone tomorrow.  This Wave-C carve on this narrow tight tranny in Austin has been rendered unrideable right now.  The building has been vacant for a long time, but not anymore.  This photo is from a month ago and I remember saying that I should come back for it.  Luckily, I did it that day.

Check out the Gif of this image in the Sunday banner and an interview with me at Old Guys Who Ride right HERE.

I stopped by Buck’s Bikes in Austin yesterday to hang out with Seth Peterson and to check out the new Alex Magallan/Maximum Destruction EX Bonus bike that they had on their floor.  This bike is awesome!  Flame stickers, orange rims and an amazing Odyssey Twisted PC pedal colorway make this bike hard to beat.  Sunday Bonus bikes are one of a kind and are only offered for a short amount of time.  We will be offering them a few times a year with two more coming June 4th!

Jake Seeley has been out in California for awhile filming for an upcoming webvideo.  Fresh crook 180s and fresh boxers!

Not sure how many people have seen this, but Gary Young took on the Surf Rail of Death during our LAX to ATX trip back in the fall.  This rail was so scary and Gary was the only one brave enough to attempt it.  He ended up getting hurt before he was able to pull it.  Gary is tough as nails!  Check out the full episode on the Built to Shred site HERE.
