One of the best things about Texas Toast is that it isn’t an invite event. All you have to do is sign up in time and pay your money and you’re good to ride…but it also means that there’s 75 dudes taking runs, making the prelims one hell of a long day… but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Prelims on the street course were a damn good time and here’s five minutes of highlights for ya. Tomorrow will be nuts.

First, LARRY EDGAR! Second, hit up ESPN for a bunch of great shots from Sandy Carson.
The street course at this year’s Texas Toast Jam is absolutely amazing. From roller coaster rails to small wedge setups, step-ups, euro gaps, and other various obstacles, it seems like the course will lend itself well to letting each rider take their own unique approach. This first session was pretty damn crazy, so it’s hard to imagine what’s to come with qualifying and finals. Shit is about to get out of hand to say the least.

Day 1 at Texas Toast is a wrap and with it came Street / Dirt Practice, the Mike Tag Brick Ledge Challenge, Credence Bikes’ More Cowbell Challenge and the Haro Veteran Contest.

The Credence Bikes “More Cowbell” Challenge happened today and Matt Cordova took home the win with one whipped out ringer. Congrats bud!
The Gauntlet of Death technically wasn’t open today but people definitely gave it a go. A lot of people failed but Cory Walsh eventually made it through and Ride BMX happened to be there to watch it all happen.
The Gauntlet doesn’t officially open until Sunday so that should give us plenty of time to make things harder :)
Join TCU on a video walk through of what we have going on this year at Texas Toast 2014. Our Gauntlet of Death is looking more treacherous than ever. Brought to you by The Come Up.
