Texas Toast 2013 is now a memory…a very good one, but still just a memory. So, we are doing a recap of all the photos of the team at Toast.  There’s photos of Gary Young, Jake Seeley, Erik Elstran, Jim Cielencki and Chris Childs.  The dudes all killed it.  All the above photos are from all the media outlets that covered the event including Ride BMX, Dig BMX, Vital BMX, BMX Union, Red Bull and Dan’s Comp.  See you next year!

Texas Toast 2013 was one of the best feeling events of 2013.  In fact, I would say it could be one of the best events since the Metro / Backyard Jam events of the early to mid 2000’s.  It reaffirmed all the reasons why we ride BMX bikes.  There was a sense of bliss in the air, the weather was great and the riding was (of course) out of this world.

Chris Childs really added to this vibe with his carefree style.  The above clip happened late in dirt finals on Sunday.  The riders were judged not on tricks alone, but an overall feel that included how much fun the rider was having and how much energy they brought to their fellow riders and the crowd.  The energy levels of the finals just kept getting higher and higher with each run.  Tricks were even done on the drop in and the long and low set. Tricks that shouldn’t have been done, but they were.  There was this sense of an every increasing energy as the time was running out.

When Chris 360ed the last jump backwards or in reverse(whatever you want to call it), it was so unexpected.  In an early run, he jumped it backwards, but when the 360 happened later, you knew you saw a special moment.  You could hear “Are you kidding me?” over the mic and it’s safe to say everyone felt the same way.

Thanks to Ryan Fudger and Ride BMX for the video clip.

Now this is seriously awesome!  A great trip with friends that just so happens to be rad.  TJ Henderson has some very solid freecoaster moves in this one.  Defgrip coming up big with this one.  Sit back and enjoy this one!

TJ Henderson and friends took a BMX trip to Northern Michigan for an article featured on Defgrip.  Be careful when you follow this LINK because it will make you miss summertime.  It will also remind you of all the good times you had riding bikes with your friends.  The trip looks like it was a blast.

We had a great weekend at Texas Toast in Austin.  Gary Young took second in street and was the first person to finish the Gauntlet of Death.  Jim Cielencki took Best Trick with a handplant in the Veteran Best Trick contest. Not to be left out, Chris Childs took the title for having the most fun on a bike by winning the Dirt contest.  Hope you were able to see it all first hand, but if not then start planning on being there next year.

Ride UK did a very cool retrospective of Aaron Ross’ bikes through out the years. Aaron has had some amazing bikes, so follow this LINK to take a look.
