Sea Otter - Pro Results and video from Dual Slalom finals

Posted: Apr 20, 2009

The Sea Otter is one of the few events that offers up a really dual slalom track each year and it's one of the hottest battles to watch year after year. This year we grabbed the camera and filmed up a banger video for everyone to enjoy.

where's Lopes on the Pro Men's results sheet?! was he not racing this year?

InTheDarkMedia (Apr 20, 2009 at 2:07)

i am pretty sure he decided only to race dh

bender (Apr 20, 2009 at 2:07)

any idea why?

coralcorn (Apr 20, 2009 at 6:51)

he decided to focus on the DH instead of the Slalom

m47h13u (Apr 20, 2009 at 6:53)

He decided to focus on the DH because he wants to win it. He has already won the slalom more than once so now he's trying to get the DH.

jptothetree (Apr 20, 2009 at 7:47)

And on that note, where was Graves?

domminator (Apr 20, 2009 at 9:01)

graves wasnt there in fact none of the yeti world cup guys were there.

gohstrider (Apr 20, 2009 at 9:28)

ross milllan was there.......

rideayeti (Apr 20, 2009 at 9:36)

ross is on the national team... and like everyone said lopes wanted to focus on dh. The only yeti people that qualified this year for DS were Chris Boice and George Stephanson III.

alex-2 (Apr 20, 2009 at 13:48)

Is Minnaar just focusing on the DH too?

coralcorn (Apr 20, 2009 at 14:31)

no.. he got knocked out in the first round. He crashed in both his runs. His second crash was harsh too... many people crashed in their runs from the loose dirt. In cody's second run in finals he slid out up top and gave Sam the win

me2menow (Apr 20, 2009 at 14:39)

josh, he used your pic!

coralcorn (Apr 20, 2009 at 14:41)

ash-s (Apr 20, 2009 at 3:30)

downhilladdict (Apr 20, 2009 at 18:54)

A-Mellis (Apr 20, 2009 at 3:47)

Apart from the worst possible soundtrack ever, the videos are pretty good!

rad8 (Apr 20, 2009 at 8:18)

noshofosho (Apr 20, 2009 at 14:38)

coralcorn (Apr 20, 2009 at 6:51)

downhilladdict (Apr 20, 2009 at 18:59)

just wait, hannah might have only got second because he's a good pedaler.

milanboy1986 (Apr 20, 2009 at 6:54)

You don't need to be clipped in to be fast in gated racing!

[Reply]

robc (Apr 20, 2009 at 8:51)

No Kidding ever heard of BMX?

JamesOliver (Apr 20, 2009 at 9:03)

Alot of bmx racers clip in these days.

guitarguy84 (Apr 20, 2009 at 12:37)

Born to be wild went better with the Vanderham segment of Seasons than with this but its still cool

antmtbr (Apr 20, 2009 at 12:39)

what happened to dan atherton????

[Reply]

robc (Apr 20, 2009 at 12:57)

no self respecting BMX racer would ever clip in sorry.

fullbug (Apr 20, 2009 at 13:44)

only if you're in the Masters 35 & over..you MAYBE unclipped but the tracks are designed that there's no drifts or cambers like OS days. Many self-respecting pros have been clipped in for awhile. Stay unclipped!

freddy-freeride (Apr 20, 2009 at 16:15)

Is it just me or was Sam and the other Specy guys riding Sx Trails?

g-man27 (Apr 20, 2009 at 19:20)

[Reply]

Simpel (Apr 21, 2009 at 3:09)
