If you look up high on those walls you will see a bunch of windows. What you can't tell is that they are all smashed out... The good news is that massive amounts of cool air with be coming in the door/voids where the trains used to come in and then the hot air will be exiting the smashed out windows 20 to 30' up.Sick.
They won't need to hang buckets up for the leaky roof in that section.
It'll be interesting to see how the dirt holds up being indoors. Can't wait to get out there and see/ride this in person at some point.
They have hoses...awesome. how will they deal with the dust? running hoses would be a treat...cant wait to see / hear more about it. tks.
A couple of airplane hangars end to end. Something like that. 'Uge!How large of a freakin building do they have?
Does the cool factor go down if they are tables instead of doubles? If you go from takeoff lip to landing what difference does it make what is in between?whats the point off all the dirt if its gonna have tables? i hope theres sum dubs in there
Safety.whats the point off all the dirt if its gonna have tables? i hope theres sum dubs in there
you sure have a point, but the fear factor is there.. I could jump higher and longer tables first, but the kick and feeling of achievement from getting a double of even lesser size beats the **** out of jumping the tables.Does the cool factor go down if they are tables instead of doubles? If you go from takeoff lip to landing what difference does it make what is in between?
EXTREMELY large. Ohio has a lot of abandoned warehouses that are prime for the taking.How large of a freakin building do they have?
My first thought was durability although safety is a big factor too. I've seen what can happen to a real nice lip (and landing) when trying to be ridden by someone who doesn't know how to. At a place like Ray's, some nice dubs might last a week or 2 before they were tracked out.whats the point off all the dirt if its gonna have tables? i hope theres sum dubs in there
Finally.
A winter trip to ray's makes sense now.
Yeah, I know what you mean.Before I actually knew what it was I assumed it was an indoor dirt park. When I found out it was just a bike specific skate park it did not seem like the "cool place" everyone makes it out to be. Maybe I'm wrong, but what's so exciting about an indoor skatepark for bikes?
This is really Bob Delaat's idea and it is really a dj park.Its great that he has taken his dream and made it a reality and provided good times for so many people, that part is really cool.
hahaha. My man.apparently there is something i'm not seeing, cause it looks lame as sh!t to me. either way, i'm glad the groms have somewhere to go and stay off all the hard work that actually goes into the real trails...

Bryce- You really can't fathom the amount of space Ray has taken up in the beat down industrial park. It's got a little bit of everything and a lot of some things.Before I actually knew what it was I assumed it was an indoor dirt park.

I still don't see the point behind this whole "you aren't as good as me, so you shouldn't be riding" mentality.i'm glad the groms have somewhere to go and stay off all the hard work that actually goes into the real trails...
