#TexasToast2013 – Day 1 / Vital BMX Gallery

So the Dig Dish is located at the end of the street course. If you’re looking at it from the other end, you’ll see the dish, quite a bit of sky and then the rafters. If someone happens to roast high enough, they kinda just disappear for a little bit before they come back into view. Anyway, from where I was standing, Tyler Fernengel blasted this thing to the point where he’d be out of sight for a good second or two. I wondered what he was doing up there for so long and now I know; stretched out no-handers. Hit up Vital BMX for more photos from Day 1.
#TexasToast2013 – Credence Bikes’ Cowbell Challenge

Another mini-event we had at #TexasToast2013 was Credence Bikes‘ cow bell challenge. It gives a new twist to the traditional high air contest on dirt. Not only do riders have to blast high enough to reach the bell, they have to get steezy and ding that sucker too. Matty Aquizap showed everyone how it’s done and took home the win!
#TexasToast2013 – Haro’s Vet High Air & Best Trick
Video from Ride BMX
We had a series of mini events yesterday and one of them was Haro‘s Veteran Highest Air and Best Trick contest on the old school vert ramp. Only dudes 35 and over were allowed and man, do those guys still know how to get loose. Pat Miller took home the win for Highest Air (Fids came in at a very close second) and our own Jim Cielencki busted a flair and a handplant for Best Trick.
Make sure to hit up FatBMX for more photos and coverage of the mini-event as well!
Dugan, Mat, Chase & Aaron – Hoss’s House
Here’s a fun new edit from Empire / Devon. Tom Dugan, Chase Hawk, Aaron Ross and a whole crew of homies get awesome on a sweet backyard setup.
the age-old question which has vexed philosopher kings since the dawn of man: what really is best in life? is it to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women? or is it, as I believe, best to shred the gnar on a backyard ramp with your bros? you already know!
Tom Dugan – Bike Check
The Duganator has a new bike check up with Fit. Look close to get a sneak peek of his prototype signature pedals from us!

Introducing: Matt Nordstrom
Odyssey is excited to welcome Matt Nordstrom to the family. I first met Matt a little over a year ago, and, well, yeah, obviously I was impressed because now I’m adding him to the team. Matt is a smartass little shit for sure, but he’s a good kid, and I’m certain his new teammates at Odyssey are going to be stoked on him. I think you will be too. Be on the lookout for a welcome edit sometime in the not-too-distant future, and in the meantime give him a follow at @matt_nordstrom.
Grant Germain – California Sessions
There are so many good combos in this. Grant links ’em all together in this one.
