Are you going to Sea Otter 2009?

mudanoman · 02-15-2009, 08:42 PM

I setup a poll to get a show of hands of those going to Sea Otter this year.

If you are racing, post the race(s) / category. Btw, I had no clue but there is no longer beginner, sport, expert, semi-pro, pro. Its Category 3, 2, 1 and Pro. I am assuming this makes the field much more competitive?!

Note: Late registration starts on March 15, 2009, so sign up early to avoid the extra fee. Athletes entry fee includes an Athlete Hospitality Bag plus a four day Festival Pass valued at $30.

You could probably ride your DS bike for DH?

I am thinking about racing Category 2 DS. Been more than 5 years since I last raced or rode 'hard' for that matter.

I'm definitely racing my Blur 4X on the DH this year, unless it's super chopped out or something.

Nemesis Gnat · 02-22-2009, 09:20 AM

pro dh!

oh and pro parking lot shredder

novato kid · 02-22-2009, 02:48 PM

CAT1 dh and ds. I'll probably ride my nomad on the dh. The v10 is way overkill for that course.
Hopefully the weather will cooperate this year....

Tone · 02-24-2009, 07:16 PM

I'll be there with mudanoman and kaisake. No racing for me though, i'll just be geeking out with the camera. :22: Most photos will be posted here post event!

MTBTHIS · 02-25-2009, 08:48 PM

MTBHUB tent maybe...anyone?

Brian B. · 02-27-2009, 04:49 PM

I haven't signed up yet. But I'll probably just race the dh in the 40 year old sport class and ride the pump track area. Not really looking as forward to it as previous years though.

Is anyone camping?

BTW: Pinkbike has a discount right now: Pinkbike and Sea Otter Promo! - Pinkbike.com

MTBTHIS · 03-10-2009, 02:45 PM

Tasso, if you want, maybe we can work something out and split a campsite. I am thinking campsite H ($60), Ill be there for thursday and friday night; and with the pinkbike "reserve two nights get the second free" offer...whatta think?

Nemesis Gnat · 03-10-2009, 05:45 PM
