Does Boy Ride deliver what it promises on the outside?
Boy Ride promises a good selection of still photo sets and video clips of hot twinks and "bad boy" types, as well as the ability to purchase exclusive HVS/DVDs from its store featuring some of its models and lots of associate website content as a preview. It mostly delivers a solid return for all of these options, and certainly provides lots of varied content for you to enjoy.
What's good about Boy Ride? What needs improvement?
The selection of models is varied enough so that if you like bad boys, you get them--hunks, there are some--and twinks abound. The video segements are available in three formats, MPEG (Quicktime), RealPlayer and Windows Media Player, which for Mac users like me, is wonderful. The video window is fairly large, and for the most part the video quality is above average.
Many sites that promise "associate website access" fail miserably, dangling this proverbial carrot and then, surprise, not letting you grab and eat it. But Boy Ride gives you a lot of access, to some 400 MPEGS from CityBoyz, to live web cams of DudeDorm.com, and much more video than most sites I've seen. Unfortunately, the CityBoyz MPEGs are so tiny that they might as well not have bothered. The other video content is of average quality, but still usable.
The photo sets provided by Boy Ride use some models I've seen featured on other sites, but at least the photo locations and composition is unique, not simply rehashed content from another site. The photos are clear, but not as large as I would have liked, but average compared to other pay-to-view sites. Most models have 40 images or so, with clothed, stripping, rear, and up close dick shots standard, then a few shots leading to climax and ejaculation.
The models were diverse enough to make me happy (a twink lover), but there were few photo sets that had poor quality, as if vid caps were substituted for the digital photos common to the other models' galleries.
Two links to models galleries were broken, and one video link didn't work despite trying all three play options.
How is Boy Ride unique?
The content is easy to navigate, and the large associate website access is certainly refreshing--a promise made and kept, unlike many other sites. This makes it unique, but aside from that, it's a site with simple, good content.
What do paying users recieve for their money?
You get photo sets of exclusive models (for the most part), lots of associate website access (live feed and videos), and some exclusive video content from Boy Ride. It wasn't clear how often updates were to be, but it appears that they are regular (about weekly). All in all, a good site to join for the price.

NewsBoy's review 
April 24, 2008
The front page promises the hottest young men of southern California, while each video starts with a sequence that promises sufers, skaters, and sex. And it's true that there are plenty of good looking surfer and skater boys here -- it's just that the website itself doesn't really do them justice. Read full review

I have been stopping around Boyride on and off for years now, always hopeful that they would get their act together. The site was largely out of commission for months lately, as they did their big "revamp" and I think they took the site a couple of steps backward in the process. Read full review

Boyride.com promises the hottest young men of Southern California, which as always is a matter of personal taste, but if you like your twinks to have that indie, skater-surfer look then you won’t be disappointed with this site, however yet again this is another site badly let down by it video delivery. Has this site got what it takes to compete in 2008, the answer has got to be no. Read full review

Boyride recently received an updated look and new technology that greatly improves the site. The opening scroll on Boyride videos reads skaters, surfers, sex. The skaters and surfers are a nice mix of punk to frat boy twinks. The limited preview is accurate. Read full review

Boyride specializes in amateur skater/surfer dudes. While the site could use a lot more content, I have to say that some of these boys rank among the hottest I've seen on the net. Read full review

This site caters to you lovers of skater boys... biker boys... and any other type of mobile boy.. well,, at least thats what they promise in the dialogue leading into the site. Once inside, you're met with about thirty models, varying in type, from skinny skaters, to hairy "extreme sports" guys. Most of the guys are attractive, and some are action, but for the most part, its just your run of the mill pic sets, and videos. Also included is access to DudeDorm and CitiBoyz vid clips.
