CalopS Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I dunno from the media she was advertised as one of the top riders but her time wasn't very fast. That crash was nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 It's going to be crazy when theres more people on the track. That bit in the middle where the they jump over the womens tunnel looks like there will be a few comings together there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Roll on the moto though. As much as I enjoy watching the timed session, it's always more fun when you throw a few more bodies attached to bikes in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 They really didn't seem to be trying today. It was almost like the track wasn't spaced right as they were all mistiming jumps and casing the odd landing. Also surprised that the girls were as fast as the guys.

The mens track is 50m longer than the womens, average speed of about 26mph I think it was! I think the mistiming is just people making mistakes, get one section wrong and it can throw out the rest of the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 plenty of face grinding going on! Can see why full face is a rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hard luck for Shanaze Reade, but especially Liam Phillips who made a blistering start in the Men's final but couldn't hold together due his shoe becoming unclipped. Should be interesting when Olympic BMX Freestyle, will make it debut at Rio De Janeiro 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
