Thats why Im not racing cause of tracks like that Olympic tracks. Most CA tracks are not far from that. its stupid design and Bill I think you are wrong. I think you are plenty qualified to design an Olympic course. Youd be smart enough to take input from riders, input from TV producers for ratings.
I wont be suprised if they build to appeal to some inflated egos and then when horrific crashes happen it will do nothing to promote BMX or encourage riders to try the sport.
First they took BMX racing out of the X games , even though it had the most insanely hard tracks ever. Then they took out Dirt Jumping, even though it had the most insane jumps ever. Funny how the vert ramp which really hasnt changed much since the 70s is still in and Street courses that even a novice could have fun on.
Man imagine a sport where the new players can play on the same field as Pros. Like Baseball, Basketball, Football or Soccer. Nevermind, those sports wont ever catch on, they just aren’t progressive like BMX race tracks.
Word up US Olympic Cycling you did good, you progressed BMX even more. This is exaclty what BMX needs, harder and harder and harder and harder playing fields.
