Well, it does look like a sport for popular kids to me

 

I don't see why it should be more for "popular kids" than others...

Yeah, if we're going with cliches BMX would be more popular with the alternative crowd. But here in Colombia thanks to Mariana almost every housewife watches and loves it, so what do we know?

I would say the freestyle X-Games stuff is more for the "alternative crowd". BMX cross on the other hand is a perfect Olympic sport with races based on speed and tactics instead of judges

Yeah, par for the course. Which is what makes me extremely nervous for the women's races tomorrow

Well that's the end for Strombergs after a terribly 'fearful' couple of rides.

Daudet and Strombergs already out!
