The Sea Otter BMX race today went pretty well, expect for the powerful wind that was pretty much constantly blowing all day long, with stronger gusts of wind every once and a while giving the riders a difficult time in the gate and with the jumps. Most of the riders played it safe by manualling the jumps and rollers instead of jumping them. Even with the riders playing it safe the wind still caused a problem. With the weather being dry and the wind so intense the dust was everywhere, sometimes causing the race track to not be visible.
