    I think I am subscribed to Pinkbike just because of Ben. I would rarely watch festival video, but when Ben presents - its awesome. Great job as always!

      I forgot their names but they were old buddies of Dario and really nice dudes. Told me to ask Dario about his G-string which I regretted following through on. Wait…

    I was there at the very first sea otter classic at Laguna seca in 1993! I was a mechanic at prunedale bike shop and we sponsored a little race and prizes for the winners. we also volunteered for the pro cross country race, handing out water and power bars along the way. Tinker Juarez was there making the up hills look so easy! I caught a glimpse of John Tomac walking around his trailer and I saw Brian Lopes and Myles Rockwell at the dual slalom! I got to see John tomac compete in the trials competition! I forgot the German trials guys name darn it, but he was the one that won. oh yeah and Shawn Palmer was there! it was awesome and I'll never forget it!

    I'm always star struck seeing you the racers, creators, and daily riders and rides. I've been going to the Otter for over a decade and I look forward to it every year. Great video. My son Miles was the Biatch Cruiser Creator.

    The fact that he got a Paulaner Spezi in the US is not given enough mention here.

      gmbn has been falling in quality since they take on too many deals instead of focusing on what we the viewers care about.

    Regenerative braking what should be next for EeBs. On shared crowded trails I end up dragging my brakes a lot, why not charge the battery at the same time.
