BMX - BMX for Olympics

Wadaya reckon for Bmx in the Olympics in China? About time? Do you think people will take it serious?

The Olympics are worldwide. There is no Chinese olympics or American olympics.

I think he meant, "when the olympics are hosted in china, do you think BMX will have a chance at being added as an event?"

i doubt it.you can ask just about anybody what a homerun or a goal is, and they will probably know. ask somebody about a fufanu or an x-up, they won't have a clue

I remember reading about BMX racing being in the upcoming Olympic as an actual event this time around (as opposed to a trial event), with the UCI/NBL doing the officiating as they do during the Worlds.

As long as it doesn't end up like snowboarding did, with all the burners getting in trouble. Not that freestylers light up...

i remember that article too, or at least the one that was in the Washington Post.
i think it would be great, because if road biking is a sport(just riding your bike really fast and for long distances), and so is snowboarding (where the races have jumps and turns and involve more than just riding) then BMX is a sport, i will definatly watch it...


is it set in stone, or is it still an idea that their toying with?
any racers committed?

i was reading about it on espn.com and other sites (googled it in) and its supposed to be in 2008 olympics (summer china)...whatever year, n e wayz.....there gonna take out to other bicycle competitions and put in a womens bmx-race and a mens bmx-race....they havent picked which comps yet though.

Not that it's even remotely performance enhancing.

Downhill has a better chance IMHO....

They seem to think it helped snowboarders. Never helped my riding as a kid. Not that I can remember anyway. ;)

It improves your ass muscles from all the siting down and eating you will be doing. But I've never smokes marijuana ;-)

Bmx In The Olympics Would Be Great

i think racing has a good chance.... errrr, freestyle not so much

it has a better than good chance because it IS gonna be in the 2008 olympics. research it!

err, this is what i get for not renewing any of my bmx mags... i read about it last year and couldnt remember if it was for sure

Dude your an idiot. There are no China Olympics

You're actually quite the idiot yourself. The venue for the 2008 Olympic Games is due to be decided July 13, in Moscow. Beijing has a very good chance of hosting them. I guess we'll settle this argument in about 10 days.
