The Gauntlet of Death has been a Texas Toast Jam staple since the very beginning. This year we toned the course down a little bit thinking more people will make it through but in the end, only a handful ever got a crack at the curved wall to curved wall obstacle. Honorable mentions include Morgan Wade (last year’s winner) who made it to the double curve multiple times and to Chris Childs who was actually TRICKING obstacles as he made his way through the gauntlet. When the dust settled, the ultimate victory went to Gary Young (credit karen here). Watch him conquer the course above in this video from Vital BMX.

If you’re not a fan of Chris Childs by now then there’s something terribly wrong with you. The dude is a wild man and got the well deserved win in this year’s #TexasToast2013 Dirt Contest.

Freegun’s Bunnyhop Contest

Freegun offered up $500 for the highest hop in #TexasToast2013. Broc Raiford ended up winning this event for the 3rd year in a row with a 50 inch monster of a bunnyhop. 50 INCHES! That’s the max slot on the height meter and we’re thinking we need to make it go higher for next year.

Remember that time when our boy Broc was firing out pegs up to hard/alleyoop/over/whatever truck drivers? He dabbed his foot a little but it was still nuts nonetheless. Head over to The Come Up for more photos.
