Hopefully with all the BBCi stuff we should be able to watch it through the RED button if it don't make the main billing (which I doubt).

is any of this likely to be on Sky or Eurosport?

ESPN are covering it so there should be some good coverage

As long as its not on Sky Sports as just cancelled my Subs - £20 a month for a load of fooking golf - i dont think so!!!

i've got a feeling that the BBC will show all the races as it's one of the only bloody things we might pick up a medal in!

mantadave · « **Reply #6 on:** August 08, 2008, 12:06 PM »

The bbc love snobs sports :(We will be lucky if they show any of the bmx if there was a royal riding in it.It would be on every fooking channel

I think we all might be pleasantly surprised with this. New Olympic sport, the 'younger audience' angle and a potential medal winner with Speedy Reedy - I reckon there will be plenty of noise made about it.
Wait 'til closer to the time - say the start of next week - and it will start popping into the daily commentary.

Eurosport only have the finals on Thursday - they have the whole lot on Weds.

Looks like I'll have to record the whole blooming lot on BBC for Thursday!

Shinny is in the ad for Johnsons baby oil or something like that..

Anyone see the BMX Racing ??

Had to go on the BBC Website and check the action, not a great deal there, but did see Shanaze's crash in the first time trial, that first berm looks a bit slippy...

There were at least 3 other major stacks in the mens racing on the exact same spot..!!

Anyway, Shanaze got through in the time trial, placed 2nd in the seedings, Semi's are in the morning, so should be good to go in the final for her !

Come on Shanaze !!

The Men's BMXing was dominated by Latvian Maris Stombergs, with the fastest time, but the yank Mike Day looks good too ! Our boy Liam Phillips is out, though !

Its on FREEVIEW on BBC...

Just press the RED button and select SELECT "LIVE BMX RACING"....

Think it was actually being transmitted via BBC Parliment Channel....

Will be tuned in tomorrow morning... bright and early...
