Hmmm I gotta admit…. I’m a little bemused with the inclusion of BMX….
I’ve no doubt the competitors are really talented and its obviously very popular, but I just don’t see it as an Olympic sport….
Oh, I know in reality the Toff’s riding their horses are doing something similar, and BMX is a lot more accessible to the masses….. but it just don’t press my button …..
I mean come-on, what next, space-hopper racing?(which incidentally, I’d be in with a shot of gold at) Cuz yeah-man I can bounce up and down all day long…..

"I think if they didn't use the term BMX it would probably help Sox.
Maybe 'Offroad Cycling'
If it had cycling in the title then we would automatically win it! "

I didn't see it. How big was her chest?
GB lost out on the female BMX gold last Olympics because of a crash I seem to remember, she was leading. |

I must say it agree with you its a good job we didn't have those people that run around jumping over barriers and running up buildings as a sport, that would get ridiculous, can't for the heck of me remember the name of it. But I can't understand why BMX was there, it's classed as urban sports. |

Don't recall her leading at time of her crash, however she was favourite for gold by being the reigning world champion in 2008 |
