Looked around a bit couldn't find info on if anything from Sea Otter is streaming this weekend.
Anyone know more than me?

Funny thing... The ebike race had a more legit rock garden.But I guess the ebikes probably couldn't have handled that section, so it seems legit.
also appears to be a mass start event. i can only imagine the carnageGreat shot! the DH race consists of costumes, trail bikes and fat bikes being pushed?
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Are you quitting on me? Well, are you? Then quit, you slimy f**king walrus-looking piece of shit! Get the f**k off of my obstacle! Get the f**k down off of my obstacle! NOW! MOVE IT! Or I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world! I will motivate you, Private Pyle, IF IT SHORT-DICKS EVERY CANNIBAL ON THE CONGOFunny thing...

My wife and I raced it in banana suits, here's a shot of her before she flatted twice:
Hate away.
haha, there was only 2 rocks on that trail...I'd rather watch re runs of Paris Roubaix than Sea Flopper DH live...
I mean come on, a few new berms has hardly turned it into a monster course. http://www.vitalmtb.com/videos/member/Sea-Otter-DH-Helmet-Cam-with-Andrew-Neethling,31323/sspomer,2
You can take the rocks out of the trail, but you.... Ehhhh now the trail is fuckedhaha, there was only 2 rocks on that trail...
I spent a few minutes at the rock garden drunkenly yelling "WATCH OUT FOR THE ROCKS" at people.haha, there was only 2 rocks on that trail...
you're just now realizing that sea blotter is just an industry circle jerk and that sponsored riders basically only show up because they're told to?holy shit. just watched neethling's "preview." i have no words. wait. i do. they include "disgrace to dh," "extended sandy vag," "uphill desert pump track," and "move that chit to nc for a warm weather season kickoff." those assholes should be ashamed of themselves, as should anyone who pays to attend. the only people who deserve any respect there are the shitfaced hecklers. /endrant.
It was beautiful. They had pros start last and they had to fight their way through a bunch of drunk costumed idiots, out of shape people who though the race was going to be easy and what I can only guess were some people who legitimately purchased their own ebike and were racing it.also appears to be a mass start event. i can only imagine the carnage
And you really rode an epuke? I mean, really?It was beautiful.

There was a dude on a e-powered road bike on road tires that went down hard in front of me half way up the hill. He took out like 3 or 4 other people in the process.
Sea otter is a spectacle, not a serious race, so in my book the ebike race was one of my favorite things to do that weekend.
If I didn't know better, it almost looks like he is embracing the spirit of Ed-duro over that tape. I approve if that's the case.View attachment 122117
Watching this 15 year old slay all comers and get 2nd place in DS was worth the event plus I had whiskey helping me as usual trackside....

Can't argue with that, but I have to wonder at this point if you could just forego the whole ebikes thing and get weird with a bunch of pitbikes (maybe even electric pitbikes?). Beers and banana costumes would of course continue to be encouraged.Whuuuuuut??!
You mean people can just go and ride bikes for fun
I sure did! If it has two wheels, a motor and handlebars I'm down to ride it. Other things I have not turned down in order of displacement: a zero dirt bike, xr50, a moped, a xr100 a ttr-125, my yz250f, a 500 exc, a XR650, ducati super monster.And you really rode an epuke? I mean, really?
That happened as well, just didn't get any pictures in a banana suit... minus the epitbike. Also had a pretty good time on an xtracycle. No pictures of that from this year but this was last year:Can't argue with that, but I have to wonder at this point if you could just forego the whole ebikes thing and get weird with a bunch of pitbikes (maybe even electric pitbikes?).

All at the Otter? Not bad.I sure did! If it has two wheels, a motor and handlebars I'm down to ride it. Other things I have not turned down in order of displacement: a zero dirt bike, xr50, a moped, a xr100 a ttr-125, my yz250f, a 500 exc, a XR650, ducati super monster.
They were all damn fun too.
