Olympics - BMX

BMX racing will be part of the Olympics for the first time in 2008.





I encourage you to watch it. The acceleration, speed and technical nature should be enough to impress, with speeds up to 70km/h, in the air, with everyone fighting for the win like a pack of wolves. But you will actually watch it to see the massive crashes. Bones breaking in slow motion, a handle bar to the back, a sprocket to the face. This is what you want to see.

Our Australian team being sent is:
Luke Madill
Kamakazi
Jared Graves
Nicole Callisto
Tanya Bailey

I wouldn't want to cross any of these guys, most of them have tattoos and piercings. (Oooo, scary). And at 83kg that indicates a fair bit of muscle. Their power equals that of track cyclists, or a medium sized moped.

Aussie BMX legend Wade Boots missed out as a competitor (getting old at 33) but will be going anyway as a coach.


The design of the BMX track in Beijing was known some time ago, and Luke Madill went and built a replica of it at his home in Penrith (took six months and $50,000). The Americans also built a replica of the track in San Diego and Jared Graves has been over there training. Kamakazi is the one with the beard, and he changed his name to Kamakazi for this event (which is just plain stupid).

I've been thinking about getting back into BMX. Me and Michael will get matching suits, matching bikes, matching everything. We'll get a special trailer for our bikes and equipment for the commodore. We'll take turns coming first and second.


(paraphrased from our friend Shane)
