This is quite possibly one of the most defining moments of the Pro Dirt Comp of our Texas Toast Jam. Mikey’s still recovering from the traumatic head injury he suffered a few years ago and had not entered any contests since. The energy and atmosphere of the event and everyone in attendance got him so psyched that he got on his bike and took one hell of a rebel run. This moment literally brought chills and tears of joys to many.

And to every one asking about video coverage of the event, sit tight. There’s plenty in the works!

Technically, Matt was the only person to grind through the whole rail with just one peg.

Dig has an awesome feature up on their site that you guys should check out. Above is a photo from it featuring our MC / Bearded Leap Frog Contender / Party Conductor / Kick Ass Dude – Darryl Nau!

Texas Toast has come and gone, and I really can’t think of a single thing that could have made the weekend better. Any expectations about the Odyssey BMX sponsored and Taj Mihelich organized event were certainly blown out of the water and there is no doubt in my mind that this was one of the best BMX events I’ve ever been to in my life.

Gary Young in 1st ($5500, including the $2500 bonus check shown in the photo), Chase Hawk 2nd ($3000) and Ricky Moseley 3rd ($2000)

Thanks to a lucky pair of pants (and an unbelievable amount of skill), Gary Young took home the win in Empire’s King of the Curved Wall challenge and also in the Pro Dirt Contest! Believe it or not, this is actually the first time Gary’s ever won a dirt comp so this victory’s extra sweet. Chase Hawk got a well deserved 2nd place with over-dipped 360s that were higher than most people’s regular airs and a gnarly 180 over the last jump. Ricky Moseley rounds things off in 3rd with huge variations over every jump.

Another highlight of the night was MIKE AITKEN getting so psyched on the comp that he ended up taking a Rebel Run! The whole place literally erupted in radness.

Thanks to everyone that came out tonight!
