Ray’s MTB in Cleveland, Ohio, hosted a pro-invite competition called B.I.K.E. this past
February 8 and 9.

The event was based on the basketball game of H.O.R.S.E. Athletes
paired up, and competed by drawing from a specially designed deck of cards. Each card
featured a unique trick, and teams would try to out perform the other by throwing down
the trick anywhere inside the massive park. When a team was unable to perform the trick,
they earned a letter. SRAM superstar athlete Jeff Lenosky was the event ringleader.
SRAM showed up to have some fun by providing Chicago style hotdogs for everyone in the
park. To heat up the crowd, T-shirts, wristbands and hats rained down during a product
toss, while three lucky winners also walked away from a raffle with brand new RockShox
Argyle or Pike suspension forks.

SRAM, RockShox, Avid and Truvativ sponsored athletes like Branden Semenuk and Greg
Watts were in the house. Even a broken Cam Zink was on hand, enjoying the scene.
In the final round, Thomas Hancock found himself out of the comp after a bad spill, so
Branden Semenuk was ‘called up’ and substituted for the injured Hancock. The newly
formed team of Adam Hauck and Brandon Semenuk took the overall win and title of 2008
Ray’s MTB B.I.K.E. Champions! Greg Watts also landed on top of the podium winning ‘Best
Trick’ award with a back flip, double bar spin.
