I found Unicycling Nirvana!!!

You forgot to tell us what place, and why it's so cool. Especially if
you've never been there.

Is it winter there? 🙂

Hope you guys have a great time, and get some cool pix and videos!

Actually, I didn't forget to tell you the name of the place or why it's
so cool... I just avoided telling you! Although I haven't been there,
both Dave and I did see some really good video footage of the place.
It's killing me to not reveal the location just yet... but I want to
keep it a surprise for just a little bit longer... until I can post
video of me and Dave riding there! I want everyone on the forum to be
totally shocked by this totally insane location AND my riding there...
in order to get the full impact! I believe that, like the advent of the
Coker, riding locations like the one I'm mentioning could really change
(and grow) the sport (this location + Cokers + more riders = major
X-games potential!!!). Once I return with footage, it will take me about
a week to edit a rough cut together. Once I post the rough cut on the
forum, I will reveal the name and directions to the location and
unicyclists from all over the world will be able to come realize
"Unicycling Nirvana" for themselves in one of the United States most
desirable cities!

You hit the nail on the head. Thanks a lot for ruining my surprise,
RoastedNuts! Well I guess that's what I get for opening my big mouth
about the place before I went there and shot the video... I had a
feeling there would be someone who would take the air out of my sails!
Is this place insane, or what??? Check out the photos of the course and
the video! How high do you think I'll get up that 12-ft tall berm bowl
on my Coker? Well... now that my surprise is ruined (thanx again,
Nuts!)... I urge everyone to check this place out.... or at least the
website! Let me know if you think my description was accurate or an
exaggeration...

will be more excited than when you visited Disneyland (or Disneyworld)
as a kid for your first time. I believe this is the only place of it's
kind in the United States... perhaps the world! I can not resist the
need to go to this location ASAP. Thus D5 (Dave Lowell) and I are
taking a road trip across several states this weekend to ride and
bring back proof of my discovery (pics and video) and of course pics
and video of Dave and I riding at this unbelievable location!

Sorry to spoil the “surprise”…but I have a feeling your playing mind
games… and there are in fact bigger things on your horizon than Rays
Indoor MTB Park! See, by admitting to the first guess (a good one at
that), you prevent future persistent nagging and prying. No sir, you
are more diabolical than that! Enough with the mind games!

Seriously though, have you taken your coker out to the MTB trails on LI?
Hardpack and fast…may be a bit tight though…there are also some BMX
racing tracks out there that would be pretty cool to ride on…definitely
doable on a coker. enjoy your trip.

Has anyone else out there tried riding a coker on a BMX track? I’m not
talking about backwoods tracks with huge kickers, but racing tracks with
table-tops and burms….it seems like it would be fun…

Looks very cool. Do you know for sure they will allow unis? Looking at
the speed some of those bikes are carrying into the big banked turns,
etc., I could envision them having the same types of issues that
Whistler and some other ski resorts have expressed, which is the
conflict between fast and slow moving vehicles.

No problem about ruining my surprise... it's not a big deal. Just
wondering, though... are you going to tell all your family members
what they got for Christmas before Christmas actually arrives? 😄
Mind games? Bigger things? What kind of bigger things, prey tell? Are
you implying that there is something bigger (or more radical)than Rays
Indoor MTD Park out there? Please tell me... I'll have to check it
out!

I haven't ridden any MTB trails or BMX tracks on LI. Are you from LI?

That would be fun!

I do know for sure that they will allow uni's... I called them to make
sure before I drive nearly 500 miles. Actually, the guy told me that
they've already had some guys come down and ride the easier section of
the course on standard type uni's (I'll be the first to ride it on a
Coker... unless someone else gets there before me). They aren't going to
have any problem with the speed of traffic with me on my Coker... I bet
I'll be navigating that course faster thas some of the bikers... I don't
have two wheels to mess me up in tight turns... and as far as entry/exit
speed into and out of the bowl... I'll probably be faster than some of
the bikers on that, too!

Wow,the website looks great!

They even have a trials area,supposedly.
I wonder how a uni would be on a bike trials course though.

Looks like a lot of fun.

Spoilsport. Are you a neo-Luddite MUni purist? Okay, so it's not
paradise, but it's major cool.

There are lots of man-made places to ride. See my picture below.

The problem with Joe's place is that ECMW only comes around once a year.
And it's winter there. The North Shore is dang far away. And it's
very winter there. And it's way too extreme for me (come to think of
it, so is Joe's place). But at Ray's, it's never raining, never winter,
never cold, never dark. And they have a variety of stuff to ride on.
Trials (beginner section for me, intermediate, and advanced). A rock
garden. High-speed stuff for Andrew -- jumps and banked curves. And I
bet they have a snack bar. What does Kris Holm do when he gets hungry
while riding the North Shore? Can he order a tasty snack? No way! 🙂

Brian, I'll go there any time you can make it, but I'd prefer not to go
on a NYUC meeting weekend (first Sunday, third Saturday).

Can't you make it this weekend? Just blow off whatever you were going
to do. It can wait! And if you had plans with Mrs. Sofa, I think she
would prefer to go on this trip, don't you think, eh?

Jagur -- don't be looking for YOUR invitation in the mail... 🙂

By the way, Ray's MTB is close to 'Splash Lagoon'
(http://www.splashlagoon.com/)! It's an indoor water park.
(I wonder what other "fun-stuff-inside-a-building" places are around
there...)

You fsuckers, this is finals week! I'll be here busting my balls writing
contless pages of Media critiques so I can graduate in under 5 years of
college.

Make sure you guys bring your trials uni's if you own them. Rays has a
some indoor trials stuff to ride.

Man I guess I'll have to try again some other time.

Have fun without me
