On the first day of the race, there was

bike handling skills.

Missy Giove gave Chauson a run
for her money with her great
power and turning skill.

The dual slalom course was very well
designed with great sweeping birms
and well made double jumps.

After the Dual Slalom, there was a great
jump contest. Above is one of my
photos - of a no footer!

After the Dual win, Brian Lopes impressed
everyone with this no-hander on his
Cannondale with a lefty fork.

The lighting at the jump contest
was perfect, and I was able to
get some great moves on film.

What more can I say, this picture

I really liked this one hand
no footer. Great form, now if only

At the 2001 Sea Otter, they held a

What I really liked about the Sea Otter,
is that they have every type of bike
racing known to man, including NorthShore!

Lets not forget the crowd favorite...
Trials. This course was a trails race,
which also required speed.
