but complaining on the internet is still complaining.BMX on a mountain bike is not mountainbiking.
Oh Man, Really? Chase and E-bot are CERTAINLY not who I am talking about here. Aaron paid his bills as a highschool kid killing people at the Trail 66 races back in the late 90's.but complaining on the internet is still complaining.
and in regards to your comment regarding these "freeriders" et al not being able to hold their own on the trails, last season Chase (yes that aaron chase) placed 3rd in a Pro category race at diablo. so yea, these guys that can do bmx tricks can't hold their own on the trail.
Oh Man... Freestyle mtb riding needs a big enema, as it is poopy. So many of the riders who are "big names" right now aren't even mountain bikers and don't even know how to ride a bike on a trail. Sure they have a big bag of bmx tricks, but they don't even own bikes that you can go out and ride in the woods. LAME

Sea Otter as a whole really, really sucks though, so what's more stupidity, hype and lameness added to the mix?

Just being curious, who are you talking about?
Uh...like who? Please tell me you know what you're talking about, because I don't. Guys that are doing well at freestyle mtb comps these days are typically very rounded riders. Vories, Chase, Ebbot, G Watts, Cam McDolla, Cam Zink, Kyle Straight, JD Swangun, CVD...these guys are all f'n fast at DH. '06 Sea Otter G Watts finished his 4X qualifier and without stopping to put a foot down pedaled his a$$ directly over to the DJ contest.Oh Man...

Can't say anything about Basagoitia or PNW's, but about Timo i rode BEHIND him on Whistler last summer, and believe me, he might not be any Hill but he can ride.Calling out commences... Paul Basagotia? Does he even own a real bike? How about all those breakless PNW riders? Timo? All of the british contest riders?
I can't really think of any more names, because who the hell actually cares besides groms?
Word, and as dessert:i know what this thread needs...
40 foot dropz?! OMGZ! hukz 2 fl@t! LOL!!!!1

Its also bad luck to be superstitious...What do you say to the XC rider who says that DH is not mountain biking? And what do you say to the epic trailrider who says that racing of any kind is not mountain biking?
It is stupid, short-sighted, and unproductive to be devisive.
Oh GAWD I was hopin you were going to say that!!!!Calling out commences... Paul Basagotia? Does he even own a real bike?
I understand what you are saying and do actually agree. I would rather see the large jumps back on the 4X course insted od DJ! If it is really a DJ contest why no 20 inches? I say let them in alos. And what exactly happened to the big jumps on 4X Otter course? The Vans DH Bmx race can have bigger jumps than any MTB race WHAT!!!!I was reading one of those so called DH magazine websites the last couple days and all the excitement for a red bull dirt jump contest at otter has me wondering WTF is going on?
It seems a wee bit sad to me that all these dudes care about is some barspin trickfest? The only thing MTB about any of that crap is MAYBE their forks?
When some of the worlds best DHers, Slalom riders are headed to the otter you think their might be a little bit of excitement to see them in action. There will probably 80% huck coverage devoted to it too but they will all make it up to the DH crowd with classic one liners like "We saw EC on the slalom, he just rips, my favorite rider of all time" duurrrrrrrrr "Now back to John B Nac Flip and our amazing skate pics of the ginormous redbul ramp brah".
This is a rant of an old geezer that likes XC, DH, DS, 4X so do not mind me, I will get slammed, but is that first? surely not. Have a tremendous wednesday.
i know that last ridiculous stair gap that he hit. that thing is bigger than it looks, that guy is nuts.yeah, i tivo'd that. good to see some new stuff with some new school
riders. i love all the new style freecoaster bmx riders.

you haven't been keeping up with the story lately have you?....
On the other hand, Floyd Landis probably set back road racing 10 years, so be grateful he raced road instead of XC.
