Brandon McCoy is freakin' good. There are a handful of clips in here that was really stoked on. Especially that double rail/ledge hop line on Wilmington Pike that I've been wanting to see someone do for awhile.
Ryan, I'm hopin' the rest of the Q-Unit video will be out there soon???

In a previous post Biker Ben hinted that there's a new site in the works. It's true. The current look has long over-stayed its welcome. I can't say how soon the new site will be up, but I will tell you that we're all pumped to breathe some fresh air into this site. We're making a few changes that I think will be for the better. So stay tuned for all of that!

Dedicated site visitor Jordan Letner sent in some photos of his bike for a bike check.
It's a pretty slick lookin' bike. I dig the black and red look, and those DK sprockets look pretty slick. Read more after the jump...

Last weekend Ray's hosted it's "Odd Couple" contest, and I'm sure by now you've seen some of the videos floating around on YouTube. But if you want to watch them in higher quality check out the Ray's Vimeo page.
I've posted a couple below, the first one is Dorito and Adam Hauk which was shot and edited by Kevin Sanchez. The second is Justin Simpson and Greg Watts, shot and edited by Adam Chowski.
And in case you're wondering... Justin, Greg, and Adam won. Justin's gap to wallride is nutty. Congrats guys.

The Cellar contest was yesterday. There was a pretty decent turn out and some pretty awesome riding went down. Forgive me for not remember your last name, but Flow local Ray took 1st, Brandon McCoy got 2nd, and Kevin Teets came in 3rd. Everyone rode awesome, and it was sweet to see.
Here's the first round of photos; there will be more to come...




This dude is a Middletown local and he shreds.

Mark Kincer 180'n the new spox.

Kris K tried to 720 the spox in the finals and wrecked his ankle.

Ray double peg stallin' the big sub.

Brandon McCoy... wow.

Ray 360 whippin' from the spine to the big box landing.

My timing and angle is really bad on this photo, but that's BMC tailwhipping from the big box lip to the landing of the spox in the foreground. That's a big gap, folks. Ray whipped it in the other direction as well, going from the lip of the spox to the landing of the box in the background. Big moves over big gaps.

More photos later, check back.
