Edger 9 features a hot black pornstar named Race Cooper who you may have heard of. He's got an athletic body and loves to drive, and the theme of this site is that he is a personal driver for a large company. While the tour also says that Race offers executives and powerful clients "service that only Mr. Cooper can provide", the tour also shows him fucking and sucking the company gardener and picking up a hitchhiker who ends up fucking him. The site offers exclusive content, updates twice a month and interviews with Race. Sound good? Then join me for an up-close look at the member area of Edger 9!
The member area is very easy to use, particularly since almost everything is right there on the member home page. The site currently offers 11 updates, all of which are listed with an action thumb and a description. The 6 most recent additions are listed with the date they were added to the site, and I noticed a couple things. The month before last there was only 1 update, although last month there were 2. Two of the three months there were 2 updates, the updates are only half a video. That means that although there are 2 updates, only 1 full video was added during each of those months.
The videos are offered in 3 formats - WMV, streaming Flash and 2 sizes of M4V. Most of the WMVs are shown at 720x480 with bitrates that vary from just under 700k to around 1.8 Mbps, although the latest WMV is smaller, shown at 640x360 with a bitrate of 911k. Not surprisingly, the WMVs with the higher bitrates look good while the ones with the lower bitrate weren't as sharp as I'd like to see. The ones around The large M4Vs are shown at 720x480 to 853x480 with bitrates of 1.3 or higher, and these are good amateur quality. The smaller ones are actually a bit sharper and clearer in most cases, shown at 480x320 or 480x270 with bitrates of over 900k. The Flash videos are just a pinch smaller than the WMVs and large M4Vs, and are handy if you don't want to download. All the M4Vs and WMVs are downloadable and use no DRM.
Race himself is hot as always, although this site doesn't always catch him with the pornstar presence I've seen him with in the past. Two of the episodes are solo and the rest show Race in very versatile action as he fucks and is fucked by generally white men (the high powered executives, gardener and the hitchhiker) in a variety of interracial scenes. While some of the videos start off with a little plot, things pick up once the action starts, and it's easy to see why Race is known in porn circles - he really knows his way around a dick!
Does Edger 9 have any issues? Well, the site could use some growth - and their update schedule of 2 videos per month isn't up to what I see in most gay porn sites, and they have missed 2 updates per month a couple times. Two of the twice-monthly updates were each only half a video, so in reality although the site updated twice, only a single video was added within a month. I was disappointed that I didn't see any interviews with Race as mentioned on the tour, as I would have liked to know more about him. Considering that the site revolves around a single model, it would have been nice to see a bio and profile, and maybe have access to his blog or a forum so we could interract with Race personally.
Edger 9 stars Race Cooper, a handsome, lean and muscular black man with a big dick who sucks and fucks in the course of his job as a driver for a large company. The site delivers 11 exclusive videos in streaming Flash, 9 of which are offered as downloadable WMVs and M4Vs, and new videos are added once or twice a month. They're aiming for 2 updates monthly, so hopefully we'll be seeing that from here on out. It may be worth mentioning that the second update last month and first one this month were added within a few days of each other. If you're a fan of Race Coopers or into athletic black men and interracial gay sex, and don't mind smaller sites, you might want to check out Edger 9 and see what you think.
