I refuse to mention BMX in the cycling thread ...

Anyhow, how come they don't use adult bikes? :D

Loved watching this event in Beijing, the races are total chaos!

Aussie Caroline Buchanan was quickest in the seeding run, Crain from the USA went over the handlebars and head first into a jump, would have hurt!

I don't know how she didn't kill herself with that crash.

Buchanan was impressive.

why don't they race on dirt? Isn't that the point of BMX?
