BMX Racing

[Simster]

Is anyone watching this? 4 races, 3 pile ups. Absolutely insane. I can't see this staying in the Olympics for long in this format - it's like watching banger racing.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Crazy fukkers, race 2 crash took 7 of the eight man field out

 

[Albion Edd]

Great entertainment, all but one rider taken out in one of the pile ups

Just popped it on now. Was watching the Gymnastics, some crackers there wink wink

 

[Superseagull]

Fun to watch but more of a lottery than a sport!

 

[Rotherham Seagulls]

what a crazy sport, do you reckon the crowd cheer when someone gets an internal injury as broken bones seem standard !!!

P.S I would smash Helen's back doors in!!!

 

[bennibenj]

Even a part of the track that goes under ground (dont think they using in this race)

 

[Badger]

INSANE. That last crash looked pretty painful.

 

[bennibenj]

I agree - completely mental - surely no one places a serious bet on this lunacy

 

[Billy the Fish]

Quality entertainment - absolute nutcases!

 

[Bwian]

When do we get to see E.T?

 

[Stat Brother]

BBC1 just showed the Kiwi crash, again

I can't believe the guy on the inside, jumped 'through' the flying bike.

 

[misterspatch]

So is Mr. Phillips looking good?

 

[Stat Brother]

He's straight through to the semi's.

The American fella is looking a class apart, though.

Its usedfor the womens race. The men use a different track at that point

Went yesterday for the qualifications. It is insane. Two huge accidents and these were individual time sprints!

BBC Sport - Olympics BMX: Crash causes seven-rider pile up
ps still think it looks like adults trying to steal 9 year olds bikes

I knicked my Sisters Bmx when I were a lad, went to the shoreham bmx course and tried to do a jump and broke My collarbone ouch.

Ahhh my formative years.

Trips to Shoreham were my first, out with mates, gone for the day, away from the local vicinity, bye mum, experiences.

It was always sunny

Just watched the first few races on the iPlayer and only seen one without a crash so far - great fun to watch after a hard day at work
