are these seeding runs, don't show the sport at it's best IMO - it's not bloody time trials - Bring on the racing.

Fingers crossed Shanaze isn't to battered after that pretty hefty crash!

kdw712 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 20, 2008, 02:51 AM »

yeah hope she springs back

mens motos start after second of womens seedings
then the fun begins i reckon

That gash on her elbow looked nasty, but it's just a flesh wound to a superhuman like Shanaze.

She'll bounce back. The real event starts tomorrow when the motos take place.

Could the BBC not have got someone that knows about BMX to commentate on it? Hugh Porter seems well out of his depth.

I think they said Shanaze wasn't too badly hurt!!

just took a bit of skin off her elbow!!

I think in the racing....she's gonna kick arse!!

Yup Shanaze was right on it.
We need Steve "General Lee" to do the commentating..

Mattdub · « **Reply #11 on:** August 20, 2008, 08:59 AM »

If there was to be any commentating done at 2012 it'd have to be Pete Kirk

I haven't been this excited about sport on tv since bruno fought tyson.

Don't know much about racing- but is Shanaze the only girl shown to speed jump the last section of the first straight?
Is that good or bad for that length jumpy thing? i'm guessing it's good and looks well stylish n smooth.

Who would have though all those years ago thrashing round on a crap Raleigh Burner it would get to this?

Hell yeah. Surely that job has his name all over it. A TV presenter who actually knows something about BMX!

Good spot Justin. They were actually designed by Bob Haro for Nike.

Steve, when they give you a job I want backstage passes for suggesting you first......

Rooonga · « **Reply #21 on:** August 20, 2008, 12:15 PM »

you should hear the commentary on eurosport - even worse!!

brass monkey! · « **Reply #22 on:** August 20, 2008, 12:21 PM »

get old Murray Walker to do the Commentary !

AND HERE THEY COME !! lol !!

Good to see Shanaze getting through in a good time, it's gotta be GOLD for her !

I reckon the Latvian Marius is gonna pip Mike Day to the Mens title,

good advert for the sport which ever way you look at it, shame it probably won't get the coverage it deserves.., much more exiting that fookin Sailing !

Yeah, I saw Kamakazi and Luke Madill's UB2's. Interesting that the US GT riders aren't on those or UB1s, but are on custom "normal" GT frames.

Redlines are better bikes than GT these days anyway. GT is just a name, Redline still a proper BMX/bike company.
