Guantlet of Death

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.

First off, Clint is badass. Not only did he help build the dirt jumps but he slayed them humps as well. Here’s him cranking a 360 un-lookback during finals. Make sure to hit up Vital BMX for the full gallery.

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.

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.
