That was the title of an article in the Sundays Times here in Singapore with regards to the Youth OLympics and as usual, the reporters (in this case Wang Meng Meng) did not do enough research before he or she wrote the article.
To those who may not know what I am referring to, The Sunday Times showed a picture of four guys on mountainbikes jumping and called that a BMX race. The bikes were not BMX bikes. Congratulations Wang Meng Meng. You have just contributed the confusion that the general public has on the sport of BMX racing. I have posted many pictures of BMXers here in the blog and this Singapore BMX blog is featured prominently in several search engines so you have no excuse whatsoever.
And another thing. I am a BMXer, a fan of all BMX disciplines but some people seem to have an agenda for riding on the Youth Olympics and BMX wave. Fine by all means but NOT at the expense of belittling the sport that has been around for almost 40 years.
I can say one thing I can expect more confusion here in Singapore as people who do not understand the sport put things in their unlearned perspectives.
