Olympian1010 7,470 Posted December 6, 2020 #682 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Liam Morgan clarified the UCI’s proposal. They are asking the for edition of BMX Flatland (what he originally wrote as BMX Freestyle). “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Sort of there for the mixed team time trial relay, though. I think it's a dumb format, but I'm desperate for any form of team time trial to be brought back.

Jur 509 Posted December 6, 2020 #684 Share Posted December 6, 2020 BMX flatland is what they should have added instead of Breakdancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rybak 2,684 Posted December 6, 2020 #689 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I hope that none above disciplines won't be added after all, or just 3-4 of them. Such things like BMX flatland, coastal rowing, extreme canoeing and high diving should be reserved only for X Games, not Olympics... IMO removing/changing "traditional" events isn't good, not mentioning about reducing number of quotas and athletes. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a replay from one of the World Cup stops last year. (Competition starts around 12:00) BMX Flatland had been around for a while. It’s featured at the Asian Indoor Games, Asian Beach Games, and Southeast Asian Games. I think East Asia/Southeast Asia is where it’s most popular, but there seems to be many European riders as World Cups as well. I’ve only watched Flatland comps/runs a couple of times, so I’m not that familiar with the discipline, so I can’t speak to it much more than that. It’s almost like a cross between urban (park/street) and artistic cycling from the looks of things. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
