And I also found this, it's Jared Graves' yeti race bmx. Looks pretty cool methinks:

Britain's Shanaze Reade is the bookies favourite for gold in the ladies. She's the current world champ.

Well.... wow. how fast... and both finals where quite eventful.

Womans Final (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics/cycling/7575946.stm)

Mens Final (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/cycling/7575964.stm)

Jared Graves was looking pretty good untill he was swiped out..
Shanaze Reade, ouch. She seems to be getting a bit of flack for not chilling and taking silver.
Personally, I think that at this level, it isnt about "taking part" its purely about winning. Silver is first loser, Gold is the only winner. I think she did the right thing, just a shame it didnt come off smoothly.

Sounds interesting!

Though, i refuse to watch this years olypics so i'll never know.

Hmmmm it's a pity about Shanaze Reade, none of the Brittish men produced anything either. I Wonder what the London BMX track will be like.
