News Texas Toast Jam

Prolly is not Probably stopped by the Texas Toast Jam dirt jumps the other day and snapped a handful of pics while people were working in the jumps. Check ’em out in the Flickr gallery above.

Veesh from YawnBMX.com hooked us up with this quick preview of the dirt course we have over at the Texas Toast Jam. Chase Hawk, Tom Dugan, Jim Bauer, Clint Reynolds and James Nutter all get some camera loving while testing out the 8 pack.

Darryl Nau (Blacken) pulled through and organized one hell of an after party for us on Saturday. Festivities start at 10pm at the Beauty Bar, just a few blocks away from the event site. Put on your party hats and join us!

The Empire Curved Wallride is fully constructed! Check out this quick clip of a practice run Empire posted on Twitter.

The dirt jumps are pretty much done and they have plenty of fun and pop to offer. You can definitely expect Hawk and Dugan to float right into the Austin skyline.

We are transporting pieces of the Gauntlet of Death to the contest site today. They’re definitely not your average ramp setup!
