By now there has been a million Texas Toast edits, so why would you want to watch another edit from the same contest? Well the answer is that Ryan Chadwick must have been working overtime compared to the rest of the media, because he caught a TON of tricks that no one else did! In some cases there are riders featured that I didn’t even know where there based on the pervious edits. It’s not just Shadow riders featured either, though of course that’s the main focus. Such a pleasant surprise!
