Autumn Pasquale. Rest in Peace.

I was recently sent information about Autumn Pasquale passing away and was heartbroken. Autumn was allegedly killed for her BMX bike of all things. As we have said time and again, the love of riding is what has brought us all together, so Autumn is one of us, and will be missed even if we have never met her. There is nothing more to say except our thoughts go out to her family and friends, and hope they can cope with this unbelievable tragedy.

To learn more about Autumn’s story, you can visit ESPN, Philly.com and Gloucester County Times.

Texas Toast Jam – Assorted Facts & Photos

Click on over to Defgrip for a fresh batch of photos that Nuno snapped and a list of random trivia from the event. The bits about Tony Cordona are my favorites.

15 – Tony Cardona (well into party mode) launched out of the S&M shield quarter (in the dirt course), over the barbed wire fence and into the neighboring street. From what I could tell, he pulled it just fine and rode away with middle finger in the air. It was pretty awesome and wild.

Texas Toast Jam – ESPN Videos

ESPN‘s coverage of our Texas Toast Jam was strong and they put together these three videos for everyone to enjoy. The one above is particularly awesome in the sense that they chatted with a handful of pros and industry dudes who came to the event to give you guys a nice insider’s perspective.

Texas Toast Jam – Photo Galleries!

There’s a ton of photo galleries popping up all over the place for this year’s Texas Toast Jam. The first one up is from The Albion. The sample above is Gary Young rolling up and over the Fly Bikes Wheel. Each time somebody went over this thing, it felt like impending doom was only a split second away. Fortunately enough, everybody who charged at it made it through unscathed.

Once you’re done looking at those, hit up Dig BMX. B&W photos always look awesome and this set is no exception.

Texas Toast Jam – FBM Bunnyhop Comp

QBMX put together this video of FBM‘s Bunny Hop contest from this year’s Texas Toast Jam. Broc easily matched his 49″ hop from last year and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets it up in the 50″ range soon. The dude’s got pop!
