The dirt jumps are pretty much done and they have plenty of fun and pop to offer. You can definitely expect Hawk and Dugan to float right into the Austin skyline.

We are transporting pieces of the Gauntlet of Death to the contest site today. They’re definitely not your average ramp setup!

If you haven’t made plans to get for the Texas Toast Jam yet, you have a few days to make it happen. Hope to see you guys there!
