Go check Ray's MTB Indoor Park in Cleveland. I took the family and friends to celebrate '10 with a few shred sessions. This is only a small part of all that can be done.

That's prettycool. Never seen that before. My bro rides the virginia trails right through winter if it's passable, but too cold for me.

That is really cool. A perfect way to spend a day out of the snow. How much does a day pass run?
I recognize the music as being The Bravery who I had never heard of until I took my daughter to see Linkon Park and Chris Cornell in which they opened up for and we ended up really lenjoying there last album. This song might be off there new one.

It's $20 for a day pass, $10 for kids, you can rent a bike (good ones GT, Jamis, Titus) for $10/day.

The cool thing is that they hve a deal with the Holiday Inn next door where you get a room for $74 tax included and free shuttles to Ray's MTB.

My son chose the music and did the editing Smile

I think that they are in their 6th year. I have known about it for about 3 years.

I live about 20 mins. from there when im at school. I definitely recommend going there if you get a chance. A group of us went the day after Christmas, it was the first time for most of them and we all had a blast. Whether your more BMX or MTB Ray's has something for you.

The Flow seems to be a really cool Skate Park where BMXers can go, but it's 40,00 square feet when Ray's over 115,000 nowadays.
The other very important thing at Ray's is that it's not only for the good BMXers who can do half-pipes and gring, it's for everyone, from the guy with an XC bike to the guy back-flipping a BMX and also for all ages and all levels, from beginners to pros.

I'll agree with that, the place is amazing. The flow is just 3 hours closer to me.
