texas toast jam, 2015

June 26th 2015 – After 4 incredible and positive events, we are sorry to inform everyone that this year’s Texas Toast Jam has been called off.

A few variables beyond our control lead us to this decision, but the bottom line is that we simply could not gather the level of sponsorship support that is required for doing the event properly. Toast is a casual jam and might appear rough around the edges, but in reality it is a lot of work, and it also takes a lot of money to make it happen. We have to pay a legit staff of builders, buy and rent equipment, offer prize money, make sure the judges have pens and cover a million other details in order to keep this international event rolling smoothly. As Odyssey employees, we also organize and manage Toast while juggling all of our everyday work for the brand. It is fair to say that Toast has always been a labor of love for everyone involved in its creation, and because of that we are committed to always doing it properly so we can give the riders, fans and supporters the event that they’ve come to love.

We are bummed that the stars did not align for Toast this year, but there is always 2016. Our fingers are crossed.

Vans BMX

Despite getting screwed on their AirBnB reservation, it looks like the Van’s team had a good time during the weekend of Toast. They even had a chance to check out some skateparks and spots around the Austin area.

Hit play to watch Subrosa’s highlight reel from Toast this year. Simone’s G-Turn was unreal.

Bone Deth

Hit play to watch the Bone Deth boys do their thing. Colt’s feeble grind on that shipping container is no joke. You can literally watch his bike get jiggled around with each ridge his peg hits.

Odyssey Team

Come watch Tom Dugan, Sean Sexton, Aaron Ross, Broc Raiford, Jared Swafford, Grant Germain, Matt Nordstrom, Travis Hughes, Brandon Webster, and Dirt Ron get loose on the street course from #TexasToast2014.

A Bone Deth Weekend

The Bone Deth crew is an entertaining and fascinating bunch. Having them at Toast to share their brand of ‘weird’ antics and off-the-wall riding was definitely welcomed. They threw a kick off party with bone babes wrestling in green slime and one of their riders, Colt Fake, came through with one of the best runs of the street contest. Colt may not have been officially registered in the event but he was definitely registered to get rad.

Greg Illingworth

It’s always a treat whenever Greg hits the street course. It’s almost guaranteed that he’ll be blasting everything and he definitely delivered at this year’s event.
