The Markit “Zero” DVD is making the world premiere during Texas Toast this week! If you’re going to be in Austin for the jam, which I don’t know who isn’t, you need to get to Shakespeares for the premiere! There’s an under 21 premiere and a over 21 premiere that is followed by the Markit after party. This is going to be sick!
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.

Well here’s some surprising news I didn’t expect to see. It looks like due to some uncontrollable circumstances, the Texas Toast Jam won’t be able to do a flatland contest. Check out the official word from Odyssey below… I can’t imagine this couldn’t be resolved before October.
“Due to circumstances beyond our control, there will not be a flatland event at Texas Toast this year. We’re all a bit torn up over this decision, but here’s what’s going on…
We thought we had a new venue sorted out for Toast that would have given us more room and we have planned from the beginning to include flat. However, due to some city red tape that venue fell through just recently. Luckily we were able to work out a deal to have Toast at the same lumber yard it was at last year. Since the city of Austin is seeing explosive growth right now the lumber yard is busier than ever! It is literally packed with lumber and building materials. The warehouse we used for flat last year is going to be off limits to us. Although it seems like hosting a flatland contest would be the easiest of all events (with no ramps to build) it actually can be quite challenging to find good flat ground. The lumberyard really has no alternative space that we could use for flat. We had considered doing an invite only event in between the ramps on the street course but that seemed to be getting away from the original idea of Toast. We want everyone to be able to have fun and ride. Flat on the street course would mean minimal practice for the riders and only a select group of folks would even get to ride (because the street course is so busy with street).
This massively sucks for us at Toast since NORA CUP AWARDS will be held in conjunction with Toast. We are bummed to potentially have the top 5 nominees for Flat in town and not have a venue set up for them to ride. Again, we are very sorry for the news.” – Odyssey
Oh hell yeah! The Texas Toast Jam just schedule just got even crazier! Ride BMX has decided to move the annual NORA Cup award show from Interbike in September to the Texas Toast Jam going down in Austin, Texas October 20th! This is bound to be a hell of a good time, so make sure you make your way to ATX for this!
Oh it’s on like Donkey Kong… The most anticipated BMX event of the year is going down October 18th – October 20th in Austin, Texas! You already know this is going to be a good time, so I plan on seeing you there.
Spotted on Odyssey.
It looks like Odyssey have appointed Dean Dickinson as the Project Manager for the 2013 Texas Toast Jam. This is awesome for two reasons… One, because Dean knows how to throw a party and two, because that means there’s for sure going to be another Texas Toast Jam! Get stoked.
“We’ve brought on our friend and trusted industry promoter of awesomeness; Dean Dickinson, to project manage this years TEXAS TOAST JAM.
Dean has organized countless jams and events, worked with Justin Kosman on THE HUNT project in 2012, PUT TOGETHER A BOOK and has ridden every pool on earth (probably). Dean is just the person for this role and we are stoked to have him on board. While Dean will be handling the bulk of the planning and organizing for this years Texas Toast Jam, Taj Mihelich will still be working close at hand as Toast’s overall source of guidance and inspiration for 2013.
DEAN has hit the ground running and plans for TTJ 2013 are already underway.
If you wish to be a part of this years Texas Toast Jam, please contact Dean at: [email protected]
Warning: It’s gonna be awesome again!”
Not going to lie, this is one of the better videos that has dropped from the Texas Toast Jam even after all that footage. Hopefully this isn’t the last time we see Corey Bohan’s Wizard of Aus show either.
“In the season finale of Wizard of Aus, Corey Bohan heads to Austin, Texas for Taj Mihelich’s annual Texas Toast jam.
The Gauntlet of Death starts things off, followed by the dirt jumping contest- featuring Ryan Nyquist, Morgan Wade, Chase Hawk and Brian Foster to name just a few. Next, Corey joins the surprise premiere of Stew Johnson’s amazing “BF- it” documentary on the life and times of living legend, Brian Foster.
The Texas Toast street contest follows, featuring ridiculous riding from Dennis Enarson, Chad Kerley, Gary Young and Corey Martinez. The Texas Toast jam served as the perfect wrap up to an amazing year of travel for Corey Bohan and the Wizard of Aus series.” – Red Bull
