I was flicking through sky the other night at about 3am and on one of those obscure channels after t4 and before the movies i found one showing the BMX SX world champs, of which that's one race, from the moto's to the final. It was great, not what you expect from another boring nights channel hopping on sky

Thats RAD

but you would need a "check up from the neck up" to ride them

DINGO

fook that shit , it would be a mission just getting around the track let alone racing

you can catch it on sky channel 205 (TTV2 ?)
only prob is theres 3 X 1/2 hour segments

San jose supercross,
the second part of that UCI championship from south of France as well
and the world championships from Brazil - shanaze !!

but they are spread out in the 3.5 hour program called extreme overload
so you have to be lucky to catch them or watch loads of surfing and stuff as well

but it is repeated loads of times a week !

worth it though

Oh no sir...... they cranked all the way down that thing. And would have had to to get over a 50' double

Apparently they are using that track as a model for MK, it should be ready for our 07 summer meet!

i was there at the san jose event. there sure was some huge crashes. A team of bulldozer guys build all this track in the carpark of the local concert place, and then knock it all down again on the Sunday once it finishes. Maybe we could get then across to Mk for the weekend to buid us some jumps
