Video: Ray George - Back to the Mountains Part 1
If you’ve seen any videos featuring Ray George, he’s probably aboard his Dartmoor Two6Player or Shine flowing dirt jumps in warm weather and clear skies.
In Santa Cruz, the mountain biking scene is huge; it contains mostly weekend warriors getting some solid exercise and stress relief by riding some low-key trails on short travel trail bikes. It’s not exclusively hardtail dirt jumping out here. Although dirt jumping and slopestyle is his major focus in mountain biking, we didn’t want anyone to get the impression that he doesn’t get nasty on a true mountain bike up in the hills.
In Part 1 you will see Ray on his Dartmoor Wish shredding DH laps on some local trails. Keep your eyes peeled for Part 2. Ray is supported by Dartmoor Bikes, Geax, California Grown Clothing, Kali Protectives, and Five Ten.

Yo Ray no offense to you I've seen plenty of vids where you kill it, this one was just kind of boring. I'm surprised at what pb sometimes puts on the front page. So no disrespect to you Ray, sorry bout that.

The filming was great yes there might not be no super banger tricks but its a good video. Great filming and good riding. Sometimes its good to have mellow riding too. I have kids and they think if they are not throwing double flips and 3 double whips by the time they are 15 they suck. Its nice to slow things down and just appreciate riding a bike for fun.
