Shadow Conspiracy – Matt Ray Welcome to the Pro Team

November 16, 2016

Here’s one we knew that we would be seeing eventually when Matt Ray joined The Shadow Conspiracy. Matt has been given the bump on up to the Pro team and he’s kicking things off with an absolute BANGER of a BMX video. Matt is capable of absolutely shredding everything that is put in front of him and he’s no stranger to putting his deep bag of tricks to good use on every one of those spots. Hit play to have your mind absolutely blown by what he cooked up for this one. Absolute MUST SEE.

“Sit down, strap in, and get ready to have your mind blown! Shadow rider Matt Ray’s Welcome to the Pro Team edit is here and it is CRAZY!

After getting the bump in January, Matt set out to put together the best Welcome edit he could manage before it was properly announced to the world. From his hometown of Boston to all over Europe, no spot was left unshredded. Matt’s dedication to his riding and to the Shadow team is incredible and we couldn’t have asked for a better member of the crew. Congratulations dude! You deserve it!

Daniel Dhers is throwing the 1st annual Complex AM contest at the DDASC on December 10th! This is bound to be a wild contest and should give some good opportunity for the up and comers to get some exposure! Get the full details below!

“BMX RIDERS READY TO COMPETE AT THE FIRST COMPLEX AM

Presented by Ray Price Harley Davidson

Holly Springs NC, November 2016: On Saturday, December 10th at 9:00 am, the Daniel Dhers Action Sports Complex located in Holly Springs NC, will be hosting the 1st BMX COMPLEX AM: a competition for Beginner, Amateur and Advanced riders from all over the world.

Pro BMX rider Daniel Dhers, five times X Games gold medalist and owner of the Action Sports Complex, explained the event has been created with the goal of giving the new generations the experience of a pro level competition and to give them a path to pursue a professional career, “I have been competing for over 10 years, I know the impact it can have in your life. Without many amateur events in the country I want to give the opportunity to the up and comers to show and measure their skill level”.

Dhers also selected well known judges in the BMX community such as Mike Laird, Mark Losey and Leigh Ramsdell: “I would like to implement a new scoring system, our current one hasn’t changed since the early 90’s and it’s time to adapt to the new era of BMX Park riding and competition”. The event will also be covered by Bare Essentials Sports Medicine to provide top care for the riders.

The registration fee for all categories will be $33.00 and after November 30th it will be $38.00. Enrollments are available through the DDASC website: ddasc.com. The event is presented by Ray Price Harley Davidson and sponsored by The Shadow Conspiracy, Subrosa, Rant, USABMXF and Lairdframe.”

Also, check out the Money For Trick 2016 Photogallery!

“With 200 registered from all corners of the country and other parts of Europe like UK, grece, Germany or France, “Rubén Alcántara” Skatepark climbed their slat once more… With one of the best bowls of the world, the level in this discipline was unbeatable, people as “Juanillo” from Chile destroyed them minds doing a whip in a 7 mts transfer ,winning 200€ as Best Trick. The “follow me” of Sergio Layos, Kevin Kalkoff and Greg Illingworth left certainly speechless to the public with its incredible airs. After a very cold Monster began the new of this year, the M.O.R.(Money Obstacles race) the truth is that had great acceptance from the riders and that achieved its goal… Disconnecting a little tricks and having fun!! Cristian Toledo made the best time with 11, 37seconds taking 100€!
Then at dirt continued stressing the flow with Miguel Cuesta to the head, as a result took their € 200 for Best Style, some spectacular tricks as 360 Seatgrab Indian’s “juanillo” also did we skip surprised. The Street was savage, many riders wanting to give it all, so we had to make 4 groups to ride well… Courage Adams or Jason Eustathiou certainly is carried several 5€ thanks to its softness and flow. The Canary Javi Castilla won other €200 with the best creativity with a oppo tooth to crank 360… The public was happier than ever with the amount of awards which are pulled from the Truck… over €1000 in stuff like Vans Shoes a United frames/ bars, Oakley Sunglasses or polaroid cameras just by upload a photo on Instagram… And the after party… to say that there are still people’s Party, says it is all!
One more year whith the REAL bmx atmosphere… The event never would have been possible without the unconditional support of Monster Energy and the collaboration of UnitedBMX, Vans, Oakley, BMXUnion and Wallride Mag.
