I think it would be great if BMX Freestyler was recongized at the Olympic Level of competition. Along with many of the other X games sports. Don't get me wrong the X games is great and they have many competitors from sevearl contries. Its just not the same though. BMX is just as technical of a sport as gymnastics. I just think most none riders just really don't understand whats really going on. I know maybe its just a dream...but you got to have a dream to have a dream come true.

Could you imagine how thrilling that would be. It would be compleatly Awesome! Who knows there might even be a batch of new tricks to evolve after that. It will take alot of imagination to step up the level of riding that can be done now, but if there is a dream, and enough will and determination, I am postitve that it could be achieved.
