Take a ride down the DH course at the Sea Otter Classic with WTB Athlete “Blind” Bobby McMullen. One might say this was the best Sea Otter of all time.

WTB racers were everywhere; WTB/Yeti‘s Jared Graves won 1st place in the men’s downhill AND 1st place in the dual slalom. WOW! Local Marin shredder and newly appointed WTB athlete, Peter Lucas, not only guided Bobby McMullen (see video above) to his personal best on the DH course but managed to take 1st place in the Cat 1 (19-24) category on a set of Bronson 2.3 AM TCS tires. Peter later stated, “the Bronson 2.3 TCS was a perfect tire for the Sea Otter DH. Fast-rolling for the flat sections and very comfortable in corners a real jack-of-all-trades type of tire.”

It’s been an incredibly successful year for WTB’s racers. WTB-sponsored riders Sam Hill and Sabrina Jonnier (Team Monster-Iron Horse) have been absolutely killing it on the world cup DH circuit. Both riders clenched the overall world cup series titles as well as the prestigious titles of male and female downhill world champion. The two riders have been nearly unbeatable for two years.

WTB staffer and team rider Mark Weir has been no slouch this year either. Weir just returned from a few weeks of shredding the European Alps. Weir is a truly multi-faceted athlete. He’s making major progress getting the school board interested in funding pumptracks, he’s getting USA Cycling to actually start listening about course design and he’s been winning races left and right. Weir and WTB Team rider Jason Moeschler destroyed the Downieville Classic this year. Between the two of them, they claimed victory in just about every race in the region. XC, DH, Super D, you name it, these guys are out there representing with more pro victories than we can list here.
