ye there is a class. sea otter isnt the best dh course but it sure is fun. its a good way to start the season and just experience it all. i know a lot of kids that go to sea otter just to check it out. you dont really need to race at sea otter its pretty much just a added bonus.

hey, i've never actually done a sanctioned race. i've lived in hawaii for the past 4 some odd years and our "races" consisted of a stopwatch, lots of beer, and a bbq. i've been riding for about 3 years, and i plan on going to sea otter this year (i just moved to NV) what class should i race in?? i hate sand baggers, and i really don't want to looked upon as one. i'm not super fast or anything, but i don't wanna race in the wrong class. Very confused

it wasnt sandbagging because it was my first race. im not sure if i am gonna move up just becuz sea otter is the biggest sandbagging race. Plus i was injured for a while after the sea otter so i kinda have to start over again
