Hey guys,
A small handful of production LG1+ might be on the way to Sea Otter as we speak... *hint hint*

Many more will be shipping out to distributors today and Monday. :busted:

It's chilly

I am still a little tired from not flying back from africa, so I will wake up more for tomm's coverage....But Aaron Lutze will have our videos up soon on www.freecaster.tv

I think Sam Hill did more runs today than he has ever done in ALL his sea otters...and we got every run.
Stik - good job on the DH course walk (impersonation exlcuded). The rockgarden review had me laughing. But no footage of the SX-sized double-double?

Stikman, thanks for the coverage, I'm sure lotta folks who couldn't make it out there, including me, are thanking guys like you and the freecaster crew, keep it coming. On a side note, Hill looks super smooth on his SX, yes I am a fanboy!

Are any of the events worth watching live on Freecaster?

We are not doing live feed for sea otter, just having some fun cruising the pits, talking to industry people, riders. We got a hold of a proto HD POV cam yesterday that was so wicked, check that clip. It makes the Sea Otter DH actually look cool.

We will have some slalom racing highlights AND HD video race runs on helmet POV.

Big props to Aaron Lutze on the video cam and editing, he is murdering it.

The Proto HD video clip is here

and the rest of the sea otter stuff here

I swear every year the rider kits get more retarded and cheesy looking. Kinda like scene kids...

Complete Results?
Buhl beat Kintner

and
1-Sam (text book riding, he put on a clinic, watch his runs on freecaster later)
2-Cody Warren (rode like a champ)
3-Rando
4-Gee (They tied in last run, but win went to Rando)

The boys are TIRED now, legs are all killing. Was a great slalom, tons of fans, sun, no amateur racing during the pro race....beer.

I heard that during testing and development Gee preferred the rear end with the longer chainstays, but HOLY CRAP...

Did anyone see THIS?!



The rear tire looks like it's miles away from the seat tube...

...reminds me of one of these:



:biggrin:

He actually rides Kenda tires! Good to have him back racing. Great start of the year for him lets see if he can keep it up this time.

Yeah, I noticed the tires too. Maybe that shows that they're not so bad after all....or maybe it shows that equipment doesn't make much of a difference...

Good for Mick; it's like it's 2001 again or something.

Towing the party line.
Both Sam and Brendan were on Specialized tires as well, just an FYI. Pruitt was on the new Duros. Same said his legs were roached from all those rounds in the slalom the night before.

No v10, but he looked like he was riding a little bike. He blasted through the double before the "rock garden" about twice as fast as everybody and 3x higher, threw the fattiest whip ever, and buzzed his rear tire on the tape poles at the edge of the course. It was pretty epical. Looked like a guy throwing gnar on the DJ's
