Hey , it's ray the jackass. Sorry, it has been tough year with expanding to Milwaukee, the economy, riders not getting the travel budgets they used to......... Some of them don't even have jobs anymore. We are doing are best. I have a few ideas for next year. Some may be winners and some may be losers. As i have shown, i am not afraid to try something different. It will still be cool, trust me. Hope to see you at the parks, Thanks, ray

I finally understand why we split from England......happy 4 th of July to ya whitwelljames.

Hello all, it's Ray. I normally don't follow this stuff but was bored this morning and thought I'd surf around a little. I never thought that a idea like Rays, which is positive for bikes, would cause such a ruckus. Thanks to everyone who has tried to explain what we do. I was hoping to add some thoughts too. When I took the 100ft financial sender that I did, I had know idea what was going to happen. The park is a reflection of what the riders wanted and needed. We try to build stuff for everyone. It is unique in that you can bring a variety of friends with a variety of skill levels, beginner through pro and everyone spends the entire day and night having fun. I have many friends who I would like to take to whistler but I know that they would be more nervous than anything. That's not the case at rays. You can ride some XC loops, mix in some north shore stuff, hit a variety of jumps from 2' to 7' lips, street park, foam pit, have some food, teach your girl how to ride, try some transfers, talk with a visiting pro, talk bikes with 200 plus other riders, demo next years bikes, ride more north shore skinnies, ride some XC again, try the spine, have some food, meet new people, ride with your little brother, .....the list goes on and on. rays is it's own experience. We are not trying to compete with mother nature......just keep everyone together over the long winter, stay in shape, keep our skills dialed, help a new rider learn the sport, make some new friends. I hope you will give it a try. Hope to see you at the park, ray
