Hey, everyone, it's Ray. I would like to personally announce some news. I've decided to cancel THE DUKES OF HAZARD EVENT. Man, was that a bad idea. I'm sorry -- we just didn't have enough interest to make it work. So, I'd like to thank the teams that made the videos. I'm sorry that it didn't work out.

I have done my best to make it right with those guys. Once again, I'm sorry. I've tried some goofy stuff in the past and guess I just ran out of luck.

So, here's where we stand. I have been trying to develop an epic annual event for the BMX riders. And, evidently, THE DUKES OF HAZARD wasn't it. So, after watching that car wreck, I've come up with a new idea.

Ya ready? It's called the RAFFLE JAM, and here's what I'm thinking. We have the biggest, sickest, 2-day party and raffle that BMX has ever seen. Ride all day Saturday, FREE FOOD at 5PM, and then a massive raffle. And then do exactly the same thing on Sunday. So, it's a major weekend event.

We've teamed up with ALBE'S, MIRRACO, REDBULL and SUBARU to make this the best ever. We are currently assembling about 125 major products to raffle off on Saturday, and another 125 for Sunday. And it's not just tubes and stuff, it's really sick stuff, like frames, bikes, forks, bars… really good stuff. ALBE'S is totally hooking us up, and MIRRACO is totally hooking us up.

I know you guys ride hard and work hard. I've worked construction my entire life. I know times are pretty tough out there, we'd like to help out and make it a little more fun.

Thanks again for all the support, and all the good will and great times through the years. Please read the details on the poster, and it'll give you all the info, hopefully, and I hope to see you at the RAFFLE JAM, and I hope it's a big hit ands I hope we can do it very year.

See ya guys, thanks!
Ray
