holy jibalicious.
I don't know whats going on there..
What's up with that super narrow half pipe in the middle of the first picture ontop of that wide curving bank?
Park looks awesome.
Well the small run spits you onto a wallride and then into a 7' high 20' long quarter and then sets you up for that weird V thing. I jump into it like a wallride but I have seen others use the other side of the V to jump out and transition into the box jump that is to the right of it.
I was just there 20 minutes ago... can't ride it until they paint the sponsor logos onto the features.
Zach thanks for the compliment. We do the best we can with what we have up here on the north coast.
LOL I was just talking with a bmx-i-can today from St. Paul and I said to him weird that tech Cleveland is in the midwest because it is nothing like the real midwest... but the north coast is just a tounge in cheek saying we have up here... we make fun of ourselves a lot.you have to have an ocean to be a coast. Silly mid-westerners.
Axis - So it looks like 3 individual lines that all turn left and left again and then out?The next to last pic really shows the 3 lines well. Is the middle section with the railings just a little play are in between? I realy like the outer line. Looks awesome. Where is this room? I can't place in my mind where it is.
shure Clevo is on lake Michigan there is enough coast line to be the North Coastyou have to have an ocean to be a coast. Silly mid-westerners.
Cleveland is on Lake Erie!! LOL
Dirtbag--there are transfer possibilities the whole way..
It is massive.. pics don't do it justice.

goddamit!
It is a whole new room/addition to the park... but if you remember where the pool table was the rhythm room is behind that wall.
Oh and there is going to be a new entrance to the park.

Pay attention, the first picture is that from the side.
I did and that is why I want to see the picture. There is a wallride blocking the area I was looking for more detail on. Big landing into a tight lip, just looked odd, but I am sure it works perfect.
Ya the pic with the dude standing there does show it well. It's big and has a vert quarter wallride to get to the transition of the hip. The landing on that jump before the hip is fairly mellow. The hip wallride/vert is all cleaned up no more extra wood on the left of the takeoff.
The expert set it is weird because you go sooo fast off of the platform and then the jumps are so big it looks like you lose a lot of speed while jumping (even though you don't) just because everything is so scaled up.
I wouldnt want that lumber bill.......
I bet there is a dozen units of sheathing and even more units of lumber.

Sponsors sponsors sponsors!
I've always been astounded at how much sponsor $$ Ray has been able to dig up. Then again, I don't think you can find an issue of a mtb mag that does have at least one ad/photo from Ray's.
Just out of curiosity, how many acres is Ray's park now?
It's really great to see a place like this not only STAY OPEN, but EXPAND!
I've seen several indoor spots FAIL in my area.

Not sure but the RaysMTB park (sans dirt room) has to be at least 125,000 sq ft now. The dirt room would be like 16000 sq ft more...

If you want good shots, bring lighting equipment. The indoor light is INCREDIBLY dim, hence the reason you see so many crummy photos.
Oh, and why did they nix the big Red Bull line???

joe did a damn good job on that...he knows how to work the w00d...so i hear (hope he see's this)
Eh???
I can't stand riding mountain bikes on little ramps but I'd be lying if I said that didn't look like a shlt load of fun.
I really hope they chillout on the 20" scene there during mtb hours. I t gets alittle crazy at times...this is coming from someone who brings 20 and 24
