JILL KINTNER - Slalom 1st
“Slalom day is pretty much the best, I look forward to it every year. The course had a real old school flavor with more natural off-camber grass turns and fewer built obstacles. At first glance it looked a little underwhelming, but it turned out to be one of the most challenging and difficult courses we have ever raced. The slippery dry conditions made traction hard to find, but my bike was dialed and I knew bike control and patience would be rewarded. I had a solid day; felt super strong, had fun, and was able to ride how I wanted at full speed. It’s awesome to take another win on this hillside for 9 in a row!!! Thanks to everyone who cheered me on, home soil support is priceless!!:)"

JILL KINTNER - DH 1st
“ There always seems to be a bit of energy and excitement coming out of winter and racing at Sea Otter. Monterey is a beautiful part of the country with the ocean and rolling hills. Not a lot of big mountains, but the Dh is fun on a trail bike, and always seems a bit more challenging to race than it is to ride, especially with all the loose blown out turns and massive sprints. My 150mm Norco Sight was the perfect bike for the job, and I enjoyed being amongst it taking another win. Big thanks to all our sponsors and friends who made for a good time, really fun to see everyone there!"
