hey I should be racing JR.X, the dh is pretty shity f you ask me. its better on like a 6 inch bike. lots of pedaling to be had, then you do a cuple jumps and more pedaling.last year they through in a "rock garden" really it was 4 small rocks you could bunnyhop... the slalom is a good time though.

When is it exactly, is it advertised already? I would like to go, have never been. Won't be in the junior-x cat, although there are a few guys from Golden that would be in that category, I think they will head down there again.

honestly, its pretty lame. its all groomed out. the first part is tables and doubles, then like ^^^ said theres a 4 fot loong "rock guarden" then about a 6ft step down....and a hip....and its all pedaling after that...
oh dont forget the lines. about 500000000 ppl show up and they run 2 shuttles so it takes about 2 and a half hours between runs. the only reason i go is cuz you can get maaad dealz and hook ups on shit tup

I raced it last year and it is a terrible course, but to give Sea Otter credit, they dont have much to work with. When is it, has it been announced yet?

skitching is when you sit on your bike and hold onto the back or side of the shuttle and have it take you up the hill.

I concur. Last year my buddy and I were camped at the bottom of the course. (well close enough anyway)
So we'd practice during the day and poach after the course was gone, all we did was take off our number plates and go ride it. There were a ton of kids sessioning the tables up at the top though.

Haha, then it got too dark for me to see and I ate shit. tup

No..I have never been able to get my season started early enough. Sounds like a great time though...if you like crowds.
