We got some photos in from Art Judge Brenda Boyd! Thanks Brenda!

UPDATE - 6:30PM - The course has CLOSED. Day 2 begins at 10:30AM at the Wharfinger Building, with the DREADED WATER ENTRY. Be sure to check out the video stream at KIEM - they typically have a great feed of the first ten feet the sculptures face in the water, which tends to be where everything goes wrong - but remember to stay tuned to KHUM for official race coverage.

Well, if that doesn't cost Big Foot their ACE, I don't know what will.

UPDATE - 4:35PM - The Velo Crab suffered what was described as "one of the most wicked crashes we've seen at Deadman's Drop." Their team captain said that they were near the bottom of the hill, rounding a corner when their machine started to tip. "We thought, 'we're good, we're good, we're not good," he said.

UPDATE - 4:22PM - Under the Rainbow, from Corvallis, is attempting Deadman's Drop.
