Ray's Inside/Out Event

While Obama's rally in Ohio this weekend was by far the hottest ticket in town, Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park "Redbull Inside/Out" event was definitely a close second!Like the namesake of the event, the course was set up half outside and half in the inside of the venue. The format was "time trial" style, with no qualifying required. And in true Redbull form Brian Lopes and fellow rider's, Chris Herndon, local kid Vance Nonno, pro Jeff Lenosky had to drop off a roof and over a car at the beginning of the course.

The format turned out to be favorable for Lopes, as the veteran Oakley /Ibis rider clocked in the fastest time of the day at 1:15.22. Followed by North Carolina's Chris Herndon who came in 1.5 seconds behind Lopes.

All in all, you can always count on Ray's events for some good fun and in keeping up with tradition from past events Ray's prize money was paid in all one-dollar bills. Can you say "Dollah, Dollah Bills...Ya'll"!!!

Thanks RAY (www.raysmtb.com) for another fun event!

 all the canadians I know have always said health care in canada was crap compared to here, and that many of the people they knew would come to the states for major health care concerns.

 hendu, wanna talk about racism? what about the tens of thousands of blacks who voted for barack solely because he looks like them. it's funny to ask them about the issues, they have no f*cking clue. double standard?

stay north of the border, and keep your prying eyes there too. let us handle our own shit. but you incoherent, sensless outsider point of view is definately appreciated

 thank you rewster, I knew there were a few good americans left. if someone wants to bring up racism just look at the exit polls, like 29% of whites voted for obama, as opposed to only 3% of blacks. I can assure you that those 3% were the only ones that actually voted based on the facts, and not skin color. Black people are more racist than whites, end of story.

 Canadian health care is olny good if you cant afford the expensive privatized health care. If you can then by all means do what u gotta do,but you should really try to see all sides to the argument

 K, first off.. canadians most definatly do not go to the states for health care thats just ridiculous. Was there not some documentary on people coming from detroit to here..? and sweet good job for Obama.. but this is pinkbike you knobs, maybe Gsnickets just has that white hood pulled a lil too tight over his head to realize this

 the last thing i want to read on here is about you donkeys talking politics, this is pinkbike not pinkpolitics. so cut it out. and also you donkeys in canada shut up. this is our counrty so stay out of our mess. you cant speak about what you dont know.
  • 2 0
 Yeah because you being american makes you far better informed than any Canadian could be about your country's politics. Like it or not who you guys elect has a huge effect on the rest of the world. I agree though, pinkbike isn't the place to talk politics.
  • 6 5
 Gnickets for president. Yea thats right. Redistribute the wealth. F that , My hard work, My time, MY CHOICE. Only in the land of the free we could elect a left wing liberal socialist with ties to terrorist and racists, and re-elect a congress with a 9 percent approval rating. And most of all I am sick an tired of being called a racist because I did not vote for a black man. It isn't that he's black it's that he has shit policies. And for the people who do not like us here in America. Next time your tit gets in a ringer stop f-ing coming to us to bail your sorry asses out of the fire. I know the European don't like us anyway so when Putin rolls over all your asses stay the hell on your side of the pond. I love Europe and the people there, I been there many times, And the Canadians are rock stars. But you people do not live here. You have no idea what it like to live under Carter and Clinton. IT WAS HARD. blackdragon092 it is in Cleveland Ohio and it well worth the trip.
  • 4 2
 Your clear lack of understanding of EU-Russian relations shows you listen to too much of your countrys own rhetoric. Russia actually has fears of being dominated by the EU so Putin isn't rolling over anybody. And Europe does like America, what we don't like is your current governments foreign policy. Please educate yourself on American foreign policy, world politics and turn off Fox News.

 Holy shit, can everyone just shut up! Obama won, democratically, there's nothing you can do about it. You can whine, moan, scream, kill yourself, kill someone else, get angry, nothing is gonna change anything. Just try and live with the guy, he doesn't seem that bad. And now...back to biking.

 If it werent for the economic crisis going on McCain would have won, even the liberal news said it! People think that McCain would have been like Bush well thats bull! So they listened to Obamas LIES about what he'll do for the economy and voted for him! Anyway I want to go to Rays so bad!

 I just love starting shit. but obama will be the down fall of the middle class in america. and if he gets assassinated, the whole rodney king thing will just have been a small ordeal compared to how all the gehettos will be rioting.

 Sdoolan, were in even awake when Putin rolled into Georgia, or was your face buried in your boyfriends lap, If you think that mans afraid of you your sadly mistaking. The guy scares the shit out of me. Oh by the way were do you get 70% of your energy from, yea that right. And your all right our f-ing media does suck ass. Who the hell were they pulling for the time 'OBAMA'. Fox news is the only fair news over here. But I still love europe and the people that live there, it was the best 2 months of my life. Weather I'm wrong or right and the shit hits the fan over there , I'll stand and fight with you guys. And i did break my hand in Canada and the care I got was first class.

Obama is a lying ass and rays kicks ass.

 Dumb ass, Obama hasn't lied about one thing in the 18 months since he has come to the limelight, unlike McCain. 9 out 10 times he opens his mouth it is a lie, straight talk express, my ass! "I'm suspending my campaign" BS!!

"Fox news is the only fair news over here". Please don't make us fellow Americans look so ignorant, as yourself. Everyone knows that Fox is about as conservative, red, republican, right-skewed as you can find in media markets brainwashing those who they can.

FYI, Obama is not going to take your guns or 2nd admendment rights away, he has stated this...unlike Bush and McCain. (who would have overturned Roe vs Wade) They tested this during Katrina and it was pretty easy for them to get away with. But with Fox new breaking the story that the NRA supports McCain
you are once again mislead from the truth.

 Give me 5 thing that Obama stands for you f-ing left wing lib. your the dumb ass because you can not. if you think msnbc or cbs called the election down the middle your crazy. EVERYBODY should be worried in the states. When this tree hugging environmentalist says we can't ride our bike on national land anymore because his socialism thinks it is bad for the land then you can kiss my ass. And lastly I never said I was for McCain, if you actually voted you would of seen there were other candidates. Obamas acceptance speech was a whole f-ing lie , he himself said he could not do what he said he was go ing to do. Your the DUMB ASS.

 fox news is so one sided i saw a documentary on biased american news stations and it talkled about how during the war aggainst saddam they said saddam used woman as shields when there was no proof or pictures they never showed all the times civilians were killed. its estimated 1 million civilians were killed in the war on terror so far and when one soldier dies it in ever news papers. when the army said they where 10 k from the southern tip of baghdad they never said what the southern tip of baghdad was in reality they were hundreds of miles from the city. when the statue of saddam was torn down that was on the news why were the only people there a group of teenagers tearing it down. why werent there woman men children watching. many people who live there said they werent from baghdad they would know they speak the language they said the accent was completly wrong. when americans view middle eastern people as terrorists who,s taking over who,s country

 Yup, the last time we had a president like him, we were paying 16% interest on mortgages, and the unemployment rate was 10%.

Anywho, Rays looks like a blast and the first snowfall I'm headed up there for some fun indoors!
