2012 Texas Toast Jam – Delayed

Francis — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:05:04 +0000

Hi Toast People,

We’ve made the decision to push Toast Jam into the fall this year. Securing a venue for the contest has proven extremely challenging and it is just taking too darned long.

We’ll be looking to have the event sometime in the fall… maybe near Halloween?

I will update with more info soon.

Thanks much and have a good one,
Taj

The big news from this weekend is Gary Young took home 1st place at this year’s Simpel Summer Session. This quote from Rooftop pretty much sums it up:

Ya @GaryBYoung, I could watch you ride all day. In a sport that has become a routine and a carbon copy factory… you inspire! #congratsbro

- @MikeEscamilla

Congratulations Gary! Another highlight of the contest was Dugan blasting this 180 transfer. Keep your eyes peeled for contest footage!
