The Sea Otter Classic never disappoints, and this year was no exception. From the launch of our all-new Spider trail bike—the most talked-about ride at the event—to podium finishes in Dual Slalom and solid top-10s in Downhill, the INTENSE crew brought the heat. With Dante Silva charging hard, Nate Kitchen keeping the stoke high, and even a Palmer-built DS bike making a comeback, it was a weekend to remember.

The 2025 Monster Energy Pro DH Series roared to life at Ride Rock Creek with chaos, comebacks, and some impressively controlled carnage. INTENSE Racing USA tackled everything from mud bogs to blown-out corners as the track went from slop to speed in record time. Dante Silva showed us what calm, collected racing looks like, while Nate Kitchen put down a heater after a red flag and a full rerun. Let’s just say the team came to play.
