Vital‘s #TexasToast2013 Day 2 gallery has some great snapshots in it. Above is Glenn Salyers flipping the tiny kicker. Crandall re-named him to Slayers for the duration of the event and with moves like this, it a fitting nickname. Click HERE to see the rest of the gallery.
Here’s some video coverage from Ride BMX of the Credence Bikes’ Cowbell Challenge. Aside from all the steezy whips, Leland’s announcing of this makes it a fun watch. Shout out again to Matty Aquizap. Hopefully we’ll all be hearing his name more soon ’cause the dude’s a shredder.

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.

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!

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!
Hit up the Red Bull website for an interview with the man in charge of making sure #TexasToast2013 goes off as smoothly as possible. He’s been putting in loooooooong days these past few weeks and everything is coming together. Tomorrow’s the big day!
Work is underway for this year’s Texas Toast Jam and every thing is moving along great. Ryan Corrigan, Jeremy Hrabal, Lindsay Hale and Dani are cutting and piecing together all the wood ramps and obstacles, and Clint Reynolds, Nutter, Matty Aquizap, Will Blount and various others are slapping dirt.
