i didn't see it, but have been told that a photographer interrupted danny hart's 2nd run against lopes in dual slalom at sea otter. did anyone see the photographer standing RIGHT IN THE TRACK during the run? apparently the photographer stood right in the track with his back to the racing, oblivious to what was happening. danny came through and had to steer around him, narrowly avoiding a collision. perhaps danny could have moved to the finals if this hadn't happened and thankfully no one got taken out.
i was surprised at how less-crowded slalom was w/ regard to media people. woulda been more fun if sven was there yelling at everyone to move though.

I'm interested to see what the story really was!
The pros pay more for a UCI card and most of the time higher fees for entry. Sea Otter combined expert and pro practice on Saturday and it was a mess. The line was huge! Then there were the dude fighting at the bottom; that was just unreal. Do the promoters of SOC really that hard up for the money? In short I'm just syaing that we seem to pay more for lower quality events these days.
The photog issue is a tough one, especially at the bigger events (even moreso sea otter slalom). Those dudes are all scrambling to get something different than the other guys standing next to them getting the same shots. I wish they would get creative and try for some different angles. I really like Gordo's dh shots from last weekend (and I'm not just saying that cause we're boys). Flipper also does a great job with this.
you should have.
