Ride with Harry Main – Coyote Contest Winner
This is pretty rad. Harry Main threw a little Instagram contest for one of his fans to get a private session in with him. Young Paul Friel won the contest and, even though Harry couldn’t ride, came through to spend the day with him riding and hanging out. Turns out Paul is a complete SHREDDER and found himself a spot on the Coyote team after impressing Harry. Talk about an opportunity! Hopefully we see more of this young gun in the near future!
“Coyote ran an Instagram contest with the winner getting the opportunity to come down to Rampworx Skatepark for a private session with Harry Main. Harry was injured, so we asked Paul if he wanted to ride with Harry at a later date but he wanted to come down and chill with Harry and the Coyote team.”

Subrosa – Matt Ray Welcome to the Skeleton Crew
It was announced last week that Matt Ray had joined the Subrosa Skeleton crew! Now, we have his official welcome edit that is PACKED full of banger clips showing you just why they picked him up! Matt isn’t scared to send barspins, tailwhips or stretched no-handers, that’s for sure! You’ll want to see this!
“We are very happy to announce the addition of New England based shredder and all around good dude Matt Ray to the Subrosa Skeleton Crew!
Just an example of how hard Matt shreds, is the fact that he only spent a quick stint of 6 days in Arizona for this edit. Imagine what he’s going to get done when he’s got a lot of time to work on a project.
Welcome Matt! We’re stoked on what’s next!
