Bah, wait and see once there's a race on a real mountain that's worth the time and effort Sea Otter and Fontana that East Coast juniors actually attend.
Then try to make that assumption. :brows:

What do you mean?

Weir came in first place... in XC Tandem!

I did think it was strange he didn't enter the DH race. I guess he didn't want to get dusted.

So I guess the big secret is out... Sam Hill is actually a native of California. That whole "Aussie" thing is just for marketing. When he talks he actually sounds like Spiccoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".

Lookin' forward to Sam killing it at the Worlds this year.

Go USA!




:biggrin:

...apparently Lake Elisnore, California has seceded from the United States and is now part of Australia. Quite frankly, this was bound to happen sooner or later... I think we all saw this coming...

Definately the best dh course I've seen at otter so far, or should I say uphill. I really need a short travel bike to race on courses like that, the demo was killin' me. :dead: my results aren't posted yet, but I believe I had a 02.36.something. I placed about mid-pack in expert 18 & under. they really need to start making seperate courses. by the time experts were racing, everything was sooo blown out.

Isn't Sea Otter the place where Sam Hill sandbags it to give everyone else a shot at the glory before he pounds them into the ground for the rest of the year?

well, that was my first sea otter, first dh race really, i raced sport 15-18 and did not so good...i can't complain, i dialed the top section pretty well compared to my practice runs so i was stoked on that. e13 bailed me out again, love their customer service. my guide somehow rotated during my run and wedged the plastic backplate into my chain, which made for some pedaling and shifting issues, but they fixed it in 10 minutes for free. i like this whole DH race thing, i hated XC racing back when i did it but DH is far more fun. note to self: race DS next year.

I dug the course. It was pretty fun. A little rough on a 5 inch travel bike at points, but still totally manageable.

Anyone know where/when nationals are going to be this year?

He pinned the qualifiers to remind everyone who the boss is, and then coasted the final. I saw him do the top section of the finals and he looked smooth, but didn't look like he was trying to hard.
