Texas Toast 2013 was a blast! So many aspects of the contest culminated to make one incredible weekend, including a Gauntlet Of Death, awesome street course, a classic dirt setup, a ton of fun mini events and a great vibe. We even had our own DIG satellite dish sending people skywards on the street course. We were there catching what went down as well as asking Chester Blacksmith, Brian Foster, Steve Crandall, Simone Barraco, Trey Jones, Stevie Churchill, Sean Burns, Leland Thurman and Fids what their weirdest experience of the whole weekend was – needless to say we got some pretty different answers! Enjoy.

This video from Dalton Campbell looks like it’s going to be a good one! We can’t wait to see the final product.

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.

As icing on the cake to an already epic weekend, Ride BMX moved this year’s NORA Cup Awards ceremony to Austin, TX. Watch the video above to check out who won what and get a glimpse of the best party of the year.

I can’t get over how good this photo is. I’m not sure if this was during finals or not but it doesn’t really matter. Head over to Ride BMX for more.

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.

I can truly say this is the best dirt contest I’ve ever been to. Great riding, perfect vibe, and endless fun.

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.
