There will be a local talent section that should be sick. Santa Cruz/ Aptos is like a breeding grounds for talented riders. Just look at how many of them made it into the Race Face UFC...

And for those of you who didn't know, there will be 9 video segments in all. Make sure to check back every Wednesday for the new segment.

The talent around Santa Cruz is out of control. Especially all you kiddies over at the post office! I don't know what it is, but you guys seem to rule it everywhere you go.

I've never really ridden anywhere outside the greater bay area, so for all of you that have been to Whistler, toured the National circuit, etc. etc. Would you say the level of talent, and progression of riding everywhere else is similar to what it is here in Santa Cruz? Or are the riders here in Santa Cruz better then everyone else? Especially when it comes to dirt jumping, it just seems like this area is producing far superior riders then other areas. When ever I go jump, it seems like for every Cam McCual there are 10 guys no one has ever heard of doing things that are just ridiculous!

SC does seem to be the epicenter for talent, especially dirtjumping. The Aptos kids are off the hook, it's not just Cam anymore. It's great to see these kids rip so hard, also gotta love the parent support behind the scene.

On another note, that transfer hip into the s berms at post office is so sick! Was that built recently?

It was built soon after the first hard rain. I can't remember when that was, but it was at least a couple of months ago. It's definitely the hardest jump there, as of right now...

Not yet, it hasn't stopped raining yet. It should stop Wednesday though and then I'm sure that there will be some work done. The ground will be like butter after all of this rain.

the video didnt work for me???
You have to make sure you have QuickTime with mp4 capabilities. If that doesn't work then Fox should have a lower quality .mov file besides the .mp4 up next week for download. Have you tried to "right click save as" the link below?

Try to download a new version of QuikTime and change the preferences to work with mpeg format, or just wait a few days...

Sorry to hear that it doesn't work for you. Make sure that you have the most recent quicktime player. To do this you need to open your quicktime player, go to "edit", "preferences", "quicktime preferences...", then there is a drop down menu which you need to select "update check", and then click update.

This is what I had to do to make it play better on my p.o.s. 4 year old computer. It would play before, just was a bit choppy.

Let me know if this helps...

Then you've got to click on: "quicktime preferences...", then there is a drop down menu which you need to select "update check", and then click update.

This should work...Let me know...

The smaller link is up. Go ahead and right click save target as on it. It is a movie file instead of an mp4 so it should work for you.

Next section up on wed...should be good.

Big Bear video is up...

I'm surprised you guys didn't get footage of Erik Eriksen walking around completely drunk and beligerent during the pro-slolam race. Also he was seen walking off into the distance, mind you, still in full view of everyone, and taking a leak.
