Will it be possible to watch the racing live on redbull/freecaster sort of thing?

I want to see an updated version of slalom like this:

Those bikes are atrocious. We have come so far.

Funny thing about that pic is Palmer spraying him. If I were him, that pic would be on the wall next to the one of my wedding.

looking at the DH results, looks like elliot jackson worked on his pedaling in the off season.

Also looks like Hill and Brosnan cruised the race. Both outside the top 40.

You can also see the advantage the small travel bikes had. Gracia on 8. is the first with a full dh rig and considering how much he wants it these days I'm sure it slowed him down.

I think we can all agree that carbon is sexy, so here's a look at Graves' carbon Yeti 303 WC.

either that or brosnans legs were fried after a full day of slalom, and hill doesn't have race legs anymore.

And the last time anyone on the Monster team ever took the Sea Otther DH seriously was when exactly? It's a media event, so just throw a few whips for the fans and cameras and cruise down the track. A couple years ago they waited for each other and rode down together. 'Cause Sea Otter is serious business!*

hey at least they showed up this year

They've shown up every year. Except last year when everyone except Yeti was already in So Africa.

Sam and Troy had perfect runs, trained extensively for this, hired trainers just for the otter, built custom otter bikes, TLD made otter specific gear, and all for nothing. They are terribly troubled by this and have been forced into retirement from their otter performance.

Gracia "slowed" down by a full on DH rig?

Hill & Brosnan failing or cruising?

Graves shaved visor his only advantage?

Elliot Jackson on 'roids?

Minnar's career over?

Palmer coulda won if?

What do these questions mean?

It means the race season has TRULY BEGUN!!!
