The Sea Otter Messiahs have come, and they are Jared Graves, Kyle Strait and Jill Kintner.





  Holy Holly Feniak.


  Margaret Gregory.


  Jill Kintner. Lit.








  Lopes is actually an alien from outer space put here to kick your ass. There's no way those arms are human.


  The hecklers.


  Mislav Mironovic. Euro steez.


  Katy Holden.


  Ear to ear crowds.


  Dean Talley. One of the many rowdy fans pushing riders to go faster. Thanks fans. You are what makes Sea Otter so great.






  The DH rock garden.


  Neko Mullaly.


  Curtis Keene the American dream.


  Aaron Gwin. Blasting into third place.


  Jared Graves. Winner!


  Monteray, we love you. Signed...the 2012 Pinkbike crew...

Aaron Larocque, Video man of the hour, and Radak Burkat, the man who holds it down on the backside.



Karl Burkat. Big boss man.



Ian Hylands. Photo and hoola master.



Julian Coffey - Sea Otter 2012

Julian Coffey. Managing the signal.



Richard Cunningham. Mountain bike pioneer. For more info, check the Mountain Bike hall of fame. Enough said.



Tyler Maine. Content king.



Mike Levy. Gear whore.



Fraser Britton. WTF!



Ben. The reason this site works.



Nic Genovese. Intern from heavan. You'll soon be hearing a lot more of this guys name.



Michelle. PB booth girl #1. Watch out for this one.



Monica. PB booth girl #2. Making sure we get our dance moves straight.



Road manager extraordinaire, Jay Louden. Tabarnak!



Margus Riga. Who brought this guy?



The Bee.



  Until next year Sea Otter.

 watch out for that guy, those arms are fuelled by….. ANGER!…….hat the UCI idiots cancelled dual slalom and have some other confusing event that they are trying to morph into….on the fly. The UCI should stick to expanding the road rule book and accepting bribes for doping controls.

 EXCELLENT coverage once again, //pinkbike crew. It's cool that you put faces to names at the end to give credit where credit is due.

And how about Graves! winning the DH on his DS bike w/ no pads. Strait and Kintner mos def deserved to win too. three classic riders winning the classic. wish i was there.
