Day three of Sea Otter was upon us like a brick dropped from a ten story building. The dual slalom was in full effect, as were the hangovers from the Follow Me premiere after-party.
Many pics to tell the story inside,
 |
| I did. Now look at me. Thanks for the drinks and the sick-ass flick boys. Especially Matt Hunter for sending that gap to wallride. Sickest move of all time, next to Darren Berrecloth's Gobi China ski lines. |
 |
| This is where I woke up. Ok, must make my way to the Dual something or rather. |
 |
| Right this way sir. |
 |
| Wait a minute. Think I went to far. |
 |
| Alright, back on track. Matti Lehikoinen follow me if you can cam. |
 |
Chris Boice rounding the first turn. A nice dropping right-hander to right-hand berm.
If you didn't suck it up, you just went over and missed the berm and rode right into me.
Thankfully only one dude did that. |
 |
| Chris Van Dine, working the woops. |
 |
| I think I had an accident where he was lying. I didn't tell him. |
 |
| Chris Kovarik, scrubbing that shit clean. |
 |
| Mick Hannah, it's not on zis side, and it's not on zat side, but right in ze middle. |
 |
| Why does she have her mouth open? |
 |
| Oh I know why, it's Cedric. |
 |
| And it's party time once again. |
 |
| No, she didn't. |
 |
| With morning practice over, it was time for an afternoon respite. |
 |
| ...to the women's Short Track Cross Country! |
 |
| Emily Batty, the girl next door in your dreams. |
 |
| Judy Freeman, look the F&%$ out! |
 |
| Georgia Gould, killing it for the win. |
 |
| Back at the Dual Slalom course shit was heating up. |
 |
| Lopes looking for the elusive winning line. |
 |
| Rachel Atherton and Brendan Fairclough. Mmmmmm. |
 |
| Time to send it. |
 |
| Jared Graves. Easily the best looking helmet/goggle/shirt combo. |
 |
| Minaar and Gracia, pinning it. |
 |
| Manicured madness. |
 |
| Rachel Atherton, all by herself. Where's your friend? Oh, you dropped her back home to mommy. |
 |
| Jill Kintner, living up to her plate number. |
 |
| Rachel Atherton...that's hot. |
 |
| What's up team BC? Did you bring me a beer or what? |
 |
| Mick Hannah, almost faster than 1/3200 of a second at F5. Camera talk for fast as shit. |
 |
| John Gibson's 300mm pistol of death. |
 |
| After the famously shot to shit berm, riders popped out of it with more ooomph than your mom. |
 |
| Jared Graves, acting all famous on the famous berm. |
 |
| After each heat the racers got shuttled back up by the hay wagon. |
 |
| The fans. |
 |
| The Boobs. |
 |
| The berms. |
 |
| The winners, Mick Hannah and Aaron Gwin, battling for the #1 spot. |
 |
| Pedal, pedal, PEDAL!!! |
 |
| Hannah takes the win. |
 |
| Gwin takes the grin. |
 |
| The course. |
 |
| On to the next event: Pro DH. |
 |
| To make the racers go faster, they stuck the track alongside a gun range, and asked the shooters to aim their guns at anyone looking slow. USA A OK. |
 |
| The barbwire booby traps were also set for anyone going off course. |
 |
| Booby trap check. Check. Let's roll. |
 |
| Dude, get off the phone and get to the start gate. You'll miss your start time. |
 |
| Number plate? Name? Cleared to send it. |
 |
| After this air, it was full-on high speed pedaling to the finish. |
 |
| Same spot, different angle. Curtis Robinson, always managing to swing a little style with his speed. |
 |
| Jean Sebastion Therrain, squeezing it through. |
 |
| Tim Krentz, coming at me way too fast. |
 |
| Holy shit. |
 |
| Nearing the last bunch of riders, the crowds picked it up a notch. |
 |
| Aaron Gwin, second in DS and now second in DH. Nice work budday. The eyes say it all. |
 |
| Joey Schuler, another Yeti rider. Looks like Yeti's got their shit straight this year. |
 |
| Must...keep...my...eyes on the race. Aaaah whatever. |
 |
| Go Peaty! Thanks for the flash Hylands!!! |
 |
| Even the lizards wanted to check the final riders. |
 |
| Gracia. |
 |
| Greg Minaar. |
 |
In the end it was Jared Graves scooping the victory. What's in the water in Colorado?
I think it was the winningest state. Maybe it's the altitude. |
 |
| American |
 |
| Classic. Kyle Straight. Next it's time to close shit up with the Aptos Post Office Jam. |
