Every year in Austin, the BMX faithful gather for Texas Toast.. With creativity at the forefront, riders celebrate everything good about BMX in a loose environment, "competing" in Street and Dirt events as well as events like the Credence "More Cowbell" Challenge, a highest bunnyhop contest, and the skill-testing Gauntlet of Death.
Check out the photos from the 2014 event here, and make sure to clear a space in your calendar for Texas Toast 2015. You won't regret it.
Clint Reynolds
Clint (pictured above) kept the spirit of Texas Toast alive with moves like this 360 half barspin in the middle of a run.
The female jam session featured over 40 riders shredding the Toast course, and Angie Marino was airing over five feet out of the super-weird Haro chevron quarter.
Walsh was the first rider to make it through the Gauntlet of Death, a challenging BMX obstacle course of sorts, on Friday in practice, and ended up winning the event two days later. This last jump was terrifying – and Walsh was the only rider to make it this far.
Hucker was hanging on by a thread during his runs at Texas Toast, and it paid off with a win in the Dirt event. He was also awarded a NORA Cup for Dirt Jumper of the Year on Sunday night, his third in a row.
Hart kept the Sunday Bikes bunnyhop contest interesting by foot-plant boosting over the rail after allegedly spending the night in jail for saying, "You're not the boss of me!"
Garrett Reynolds pulled this Smith grind up the hubba to truckdriver like it was nothing, and landed every trick he tried with only about 10 minutes of practice on the final day of Toast.
Matt Cordova in the Credence Cowbell Kickout event
Matt Cordova is no stranger to being sideways at all times. He put his steeze to good use by smashing the Credence "More Cowbell" kickout challenge on day one of Texas Toast.
Barraco pulled out an insane 180 to backwards nose wheelie down the hubba ledge to 180 out in finals and was packing his usual tech-grind tricks like icepick grinds up to hard inward 180.
