Four Cross

[prepstats]

If the excitement for the winter olympics and x-games is skier cross, boarder cross, snowmobile cross, short track speed skating. Why has four cross not been added? Great spectator sport, rubbing and bumping, crashes, jumps, what more do you want. There is world, collegiate, and national championships, but nobody seems to take notice.

Why have Four-Cross AND BMX? Did you watch the BMX in Beijing last year? That was pretty dam exciting, lots of rubbing, bumping and crashing...

And if they introduce 4 cross, that would be at the expense of some other cycling event.

Good point. Personally, I think you should replace the road race with Cyclo-cross. Then you'd have all 5 disciplines represented and the 'cross race would be far more exciting than a road race with 5-man teams.

CX, 4X and DH should all be in the winter Olympics, if they need to drop a sport or two they could ditch figure skating and curling.

I agree with badboyberty, we need to drop some sports out of the line, specially those ugly ice skating suits, what about snowboarding? Should it become a winter sport officially subscripted to the Olympics?

Four Cross could be a huge money maker for the Olympics. Just think of the amount of Mountain Dew they could sell.

The real question is:

With all those sports in the winter olympics, why isn't "Crashed Ice"?

Now there is an amazing spectator sport...

They can't really put DH or 4X in the Winter Olympics without messing up their whole calendar or limiting where they can have the race since most DH races take place in Ski resorts which obviously would be snowed over! Also I think the banning of skinsuits in DH has reduced their chances of becoming an olympic sport.
Cyclocross in the Winter Olympics is a great idea though, but they should hold that race in Belgium no matter where the actual Olympics is!!!

Maybe they should have street skateboarding too. You have to manuver in and out of allys with a tagger pen, tag a couple dozen walls,street signs, and dumpsters and steal a couple bike racks for your backyard rail jam all while being chased by cops and irate property owners. That would be really rad and bring a younger crowd in.

I hope that they will organize it own their own expense instead of the expense of some other cycling event.
