Full replay from the Men's and Women's BMX Semi-Finals during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The first national mountain bike championships were held in 1983 in the USA. But the sport quickly grew in popularity in Europe and Australia. The first mountain bike World Championships, recognised by the International Cycling Union (UCI), were organised in 1990. Olympic recognition followed and mountain biking made its debut as an Olympic discipline at the Atlanta Games in 1996, with a cross-country event for men and women. The programme has remained unchanged ever since.
It was in 2008 in Beijing that BMX made its debut on the Olympic programme. BMX is one of the fastest and youngest cycling disciplines. Its principle is simple: eight riders compete on a track filled with jumps, tight bends and obstacles.

these are the fastest guys on two man-powered wheels. period. even if track cyclists get higher top speeds, they don't have to think as fast and adapt as fast. this is as intense as racing will ever get. i'm so pumped that they added bmx to the olympics. it's a top-tier sport. it needs a top-tier competition.
Red bull hard line is most likely tougher
@@joshJones-cz1wu there's a solid argument for hard line
@@doctajuice yeah
@@doctajuice each field needs different skills
since BMX became a recognised olympic event, the track layouts, sponsorship and growth in the sport has been amazing. It goes to whow when something awesome is exposed to the public it can make a lot of people happy.
1:12:30 you can see some positive notes connor fields wrote for himself, wholesome
Takes me back when I raced in the 80s. Jumps were a lot smaller, lol. I watched this live. I enjoyed the London Olympics especially the MTB XC and the BMX competitions.
am I the only one who just never gets tired of the guy at the beginning of a race who says: okay riders ... etc. ?? đđ
nope i race and i love it because when im in the gate and the sound happens it means i get to practice / race!
haha cool !
Labs yes!

Notice that Connor Fields and Sam Willoughby pedal more than most other riders especially on the 2nd last berm. They both also have great bike control allowing them to pop out ahead of people when they are jumping.
Thx for the tips
1:05:25 - So glad I found this, broke my heart when I saw it live. Alise post, total willpower.

Good point. Did they say spinal board?

I think that it would be scary if you fell off with those clip-in pedals, good idea but not the safest if you crash
There easier to unclip than most people think

In my opinion Strombergs isn't as good as he was last year :/

Is it just me, or is one of the commentators just nitpicking over the women's performance, but when the men race he gets super excited and praises all their efforts? They are all the best of the best.
