Using the words 'gravity' and 'otter' together in the same sentece should be a ban-able offense. In any event, I'm sure there will still be a sh!tload of amateurs racing out there. (cue Luc's classic photo of the insane line-up at the top of the "DH" course)Yup, lots of races, first Dh event being beginning of April in South Africa. There has always been early XC races, so early Dh will be sweet. It will probably KILL gravity participation at otter though.
