The first day of BMX racing at the Sea Otter classic was washed out. A few drops started to come down as I headed towards the track and by the time I got there it was a steady downpour. My friends over in the Fringe Gear tent were kind enough to give myself and my camera shelter. Then it really started coming down with the help of the wind and flooded half the tent. Before it turned into Waterworld 2, I spoke to a few of the racers and had a look at the track. The layout was very simple with no large jumps and slick soil. Basically some built up berms and a few rollers.

There's a good reason why you haven't seen REDLINE's SHANAZE READE at a BMX track for the past month. Her and fellow British Cycling teammates had been putting in some "track" time of another kind. At the Track Cycling World Championships being held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Shanaze was paired up with Victoria Pendleton to compete in the Womens Team Sprint. TRACK, you say? It's not what you think--this one has no dirt or jumps, but does feature high banked berms.
