Didn't think BMX would be so dull to watch... Confused


yea, this is another question mark 'Olympic' sport. But I guess to each their own.



I liked it
To me BMX is definitely more fun to watch than some softball game with the US pitcher striking everyone out.

I think the more weird "sports" the merrier. If it was up to me Bowling, stacking cups, ballroom dancing, cheerleading, bullriding, Tug of war and pole dancing would be in the Olympics Laughing Laughing

Likely never. The US is too good at it.

Ironic that that that is the reason still used since they didn't win gold in the 2008 Olympics and they aren't the current World Champions.

Well, lets get rid of rhythmic gymnastics then. The Russians are too good at it. Wink Laughing

what a tease!

the brasilians came out with a sampling at the closing ceremony, and i was moved to tears by their foreplay. i'll never be able to explain my passion for this country, its people, its culture - maybe it's a past-life thing - but i'm in a hopeless love affair. i know only one other person who feels inexplicably drawn to a place. the object of her obsession is . . . iceland! (what's up with that?!)

here's hoping 2016 comes quickly and i'm in good health to enjoy it. wild horses couldn't keep me from maracană stadium. brasil has been doing extravaganzas since the '20s. this will be their crowning glory.

It is the reason they essentially kicked out baseball as well.
