The Dual Slalom presented by Fox Racing and Pinkbike is a Sea Otter fan-favorite. After starting above the rolling hills and roaring crowds at the Laguna Seca Recreation Area, riders will battle side-by-side down identical tracks as they navigate the iconic rollers, flat corners and GIANT berms of the sandy hillside.
Kyle Strait of Strait Acres – arguably one of the best slalom riders and builders in the world — is once again bringing his unrivaled design stamp to Monterey’s marquee mountain bike event.
Dual Slalom is categorized by ability and age classes, and we offer Para as well. See below for race inclusions.
For the safety of all athletes, parents/coaches are not permitted to run/ride/accompany junior athletes on the course.
