Post by: QuadPaul on August 20, 2008, 02:47 AM: :wtf: 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!

Post by: kdw712 on August 20, 2008, 02:51 AM: yeah hope she springs back

Post by: dialledbikes on August 20, 2008, 03:00 AM: 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.

Post by: toys19 on August 20, 2008, 08:24 AM: Yup Shanaze was right on it.
We need Steve "General Lee" to do the commentating..
Title: Re: seeding runs
Post by: Mattdub on August 20, 2008, 08:59 AM: If there was to be any commentating done at 2012 it'd have to be Pete Kirk :4_17_5:

Post by: emerbmx on August 20, 2008, 09:30 AM: I haven't been this excited about sport on tv since bruno fought tyson. :D
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.

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.

Post by: generallee on August 20, 2008, 02:21 PM: ha ha, funny you guys should mention that! BBC Sport is a very very difficult place to get in with, a very closed shop unless you are a total sport boffin. But Id bet anything that they havbe NO ONe who rides or know bmx in there!
Im actually working on getting in on the commentary for 2012 , so cheers for the support!!!
