Matte Black with Bronze lenses and Bronze hinges. what make these special are the Laser etched lenses that say WARNING: TEXAS TOAST on one lens and have the 2012 TX Toast Gauntlet of Death logo. These and special Frogskins went to the All the top Winners of the contest, and select staff. These are the last pair available and we are auctioning them off to help a friend of Toast, Doug Crowell. Better known as Doug E Fresh, He was pivotal in making Toast 2011 happen, but this year Doug was in a serious accident on April 22nd. He was t-boned by a drunk driver & life flighted to a hospital in San Antonio. He was in a coma & sustained 6 broken ribs, broken leg, punctured lung, bruised spleen, & serious bleeding in his brain. Doug was wearing a helmet at the time of his accident and the driver of the car is now in jail. Doug is on the long road to recovery and can use our help.

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.
