Friend of yours? He has good reflexes.

This is a good example of not giving up after a crash, cause I think he went down at the top of the course. He ends up jumping over Mr. Soaked and takes the run. Sweet.

Oh S**T!

I just noticed the duckies. Rad!

I think a moat should be a required feature on all courses. With alligators.

Speaking of goofy pics.... Did anyone happen to get a pic of one of my co-workers riding around in lycra shorts, a sports bra, afro wig, and a trucker hat? To top it off, he was on a purple and yellow DBR x-6... If anyone got a picture of him on Sunday, I love to embarass him with it....:D

So I saw most of the DJ contest practice, and half the runs. Who won?? Goldman had some sweet jumps.
Jesme won by pulling a 360 with the craziest landing you've ever seen. He basically landed in an unintentional nose wheelie and rode away from it. Cowan got second for either his tabletop backflip or his no-footed backflip, but I'm not sure which trick got him the silver. 3rd place was Cameron Zink (sp?). He did a one-footed x-up backflip, which should have won IMO. Another kid named Paul somebody (who was sharing a bike with Cameron Zink) attempted a backflip tailwhip, which was off the sicktor scale.

And then there was Sanjay. Oh man.

He took a practice jump and two of his comptetition jumps on a rickety old beach cruiser, and stuck the landings all 3 times. Then he hit the jump on a 16-inch kids bike, and on his second attempt, he stuck the landing as smooth as butter. Sooooooo crazy. The jump contest was definitely the best part of Sea Otter.

EDIT: spelling

Dude, I'm putting a water pit in next years Firestone DH course just so I can decorate it with the rubber duckies and Flamingos.:D

They mock you as you sit in the puddle, laughing silently:p

Noah,
Just throw in some random inflatible animals on the course anyway.... And I hope the Firestone people have got some large beer bottles at the finish line.... That would be cool....

Noah,
Can you loan me your velco gloves and rubber boots, too?? :D

I know I can always count on you for the vital supplies... Like beer!!

I just thought a large beer bottle on each side of the finish line would be cool....

"Well, H-ball, it was only after an extensive consultation with Orven about the spoke tension, clipless/flat pedals, coefficient of friction, and handlebar tilt that I was able to jump this Weagle- designed pixie bike."

Daylight fill-flash, man...necessary much of the time if you're shooting slides, nice to have even if you're not.

That was me... i crashed in the last 180 berm trying to cut the other two guys off, then got up and heard everyone yelling and came around the corner and jumped over that guy. i hope someone got it on camera- it seemed like 50 flashes went off when it happened.
