Cleavo has been over run by kids, its not a bad thing, just a demographic profile that works for that business model. And by kids I mean 16-24, fvck!! When did I get old?
that doesn't sound terrible demo-wise for us older riders. I used to remember driving to Cheapskates and the Shimerville Skate park in the 90's and feeling old as fvck there when I was in my 20's.
I called Ray's.
They say there is no consderation for new locations atm.
"We have our hands full with the two locations as it is"
A guy from nycMTB called Ray's and this was their response:
Indeed this would be an interesting development for NJ. For those who have been there, how wide of an age group goes to Ray's? I mean, is it mostly young kids on BMX bikes? How about the balance between MTB/BMX bikers? I'm going to be in the Milwaukee area next month and have considered checking it out. However, I'm a little unsettled about being like 25+ years olders than most of the other customers there.
Its not a bad thing Mike. Most of the kids are respectful and down rite talented on a bike. The over-all vibe is really positive and I hope this is carried over in Newark.(if it happens)
Has anyone heard about this park in Syracuse, NY? My friend just sent me this link. Looks just like Ray's except a lot closer and is supposed to open soon:
