Texas Toast Jam – Together We Shred: The Documentary
This is absolutely phenomenal. Odyssey dropped this documentary about the Texas Toast Jam and its three years in existence. This is hands down one of the best things to happen to BMX and I cannot wait to see where it goes in the future! I highly, highly advise all of you to find a way to make it to the next one.
“Writing something about Texas Toast that isn’t trite or cliche is practically impossible. It’s not a bad problem by any means because to be honest, everything you’ve seen or heard about the event is all 100% true. During the past three years, more and more people have been making the pilgrimage to the jam to hang out, party and just flat out shred on little bikes.
I’ve had the pleasure of attending all three jams and each year there’s been moments where I got chills and goosebumps from behind the lens. From Aitken’s rebel run in the inaugural event to this year’s Veteran comp, Texas Toast never ceases to rejuvenate my love for BMX. Seeing everybody from my childhood heroes to the latest upcoming superstars, ride and have fun under one roof is absolutely incredible. We had dudes in that lumberyard who were in their 40′s boosting as high as their teenage counterparts!
When I was piecing together this documentary, it was almost overwhelming all the positive feedback we were getting and the best part was; the riding was almost secondary to the vibe. Sure, there were tons of bat-shit crazy moves that went down but the thing that got everyone most psyched was just how the BMX community came together. From all the brands and volunteers that helped make the event happen to the pros and kids who ventured out to just ride and have fun – everyone chipped in and helped put together on one of the best weekends of the year.
If you couldn’t make it out to any of the jams, hopefully this video will give you guys a good idea of what it was like. Thanks to everyone we talked with in the video and to ADAM BANTON and JESUS SONS for hooking us up with some tunes for it.

Big Toys – Alexander “Shurva” Rudenko Fall 2013 Edit
Here’s a dialed new one from Sunday, Odyssey and G-Sport‘s connect over in the Ukraine through Big Toys, Alexander “Shurva” Rudenko! This time around Shurva comes through with some heavy barspin and whip combos that is well worth a look. I’d love to see this dude play Stevie Churchill in a game of bike. I feel like they have super similar styles.

Odyssey – Introducing Matt Nordstrom
Matt Nordstrom is now doing it for Odyssey! We’ve seen a ton from this guy the past year or so and he’s always on it and progressing. I can only imagine this will only help him push his riding further. Check out his fresh setup in the bike check above, some words from Walter Pieringer and then start waiting for a banger of a welcome edit!
“Odyssey is excited to welcome Matt Nordstrom to the family. I first met Matt a little over a year ago, and, well, yeah, obviously I was impressed because now I’m adding him to the team. Matt is a smartass little shit for sure, but he’s a good kid, and I’m certain his new teammates at Odyssey are going to be stoked on him. I think you will be too. Be on the lookout for a welcome edit sometime in the not-too-distant future, and in the meantime give him a follow at @matt_nordstrom.” – Walter Pieringer / Odyssey TM
Texas Toast Jam Hype – Chase Hawk
With the 2013 Texas Toast Jam less than 10 days away, Odyssey decided to drop a little hype video (like everyone isn’t already losing their minds excited) to remind everyone that it’s coming. Check out a few quick clips of Chase Hawk from last year! I can’t WAIT to get on that plane down to Texas.
