Some of us NC folks took a road trip to rays earlier this month and had a blast as usual....so here's a bit of a ride report.
video highlights for those who don't like to read:
the group consisted of Kevin Martin, Will Guthrie, myself, Noah, and bmxican Brian Creed. we left amidst one of the worst snowstorms in recent history...but still made it. the, normally 8 hour, trip took us 14 hours and included over 130 miles in W. VA and Ohio at under 35mph. Needless to say, we were stoked to finally arrive at our hotel on friday night.
leaving Brian's house in Mt. Airy:
Fail: "oh no..there's a hummer in the booshes"
somewhere in ohio...130+ miles of this at 35mph or less
snow tumor upon arrival
so we hit up rays first thing saturday morning and rode until 9-ish that night and from 9-2 on sunday. we all spent a lot of time in the rhythm room, foam pit, and on the red bull line. helluva time and i think noah is stoked on riding again!
tubby in the foam pit re-learning 360s
will working on some style in the foam pit
my favorite shot of the trip. noah and will in the rhythm room, we had it all to ourselves for a while on sunday morning
noah had the smaller line in the rhythm room dialed after a few runs
and he tried out the decline line a few times (he also hit the big line once but barely made it over the stepup
)
kevin on the rental bike after he tacoed his wheel
tubby out of the bowl thingy
brian race jumping
noah on the drops
the little punk cleaned the big teeter line before i did
will on the teeter
kevin working on a 360 in the foam pit
noah railing the red bull berm
it was definitely worth the drive!
