While I was on the olympic theme....why aren't motorsports in the olympics?
If table tennis, break dancing and beach volley ball can be in there why not motorsports?
Because you need 2 balls for those...not just one...
lmao

I know when I was done a race, I was wore out, it was a lot of work wrestling that bike around the track...Wouldn’t motors be an aid to the physical effort typically required of an (athlete)? Personally I don’t think break dancing or BMX riding or skateboards should be considered an Olympic event. The coordinated swimming/dancing, whatever it’s called is laughable. To me, individual physical effort events are best. Maybe “sports” need to be redefined.

Imagine a supercross event in the olympics...? I read that motocross racing is one the most strenuous styles of racing....
If they want to keep the olympics relevant, it needs to be changed up.
I remember when they had mountain biking in the olympics and it was cool to watch.....one guy was in 2nd and lost his seat-post and all and still finished in the top ten......You would be suprised at the physical condition and effort, and the skill level BMX and skateboarding at that level takes.
It like Motocross, alot of people think MX is sit on a dirtbike and ride, when in reality, it is one of the most physical demanding sports in the world.
All three sports look deceptively easy, just because the majority of what most people see on tv and the internet competitions, are some of the best in the world.
I will take BMX and skateboarding over syncronized swimming though, lol
I’d say because the technology of the machine has a lot to do with winning. It’s a good question though.While I was on the olympic theme....why aren't motorsports in the olympics?
I had the privilege of dating a Bi-athlete. They ski a course cross country and then stop and shoot at a target at various distances. On the surface it seemed like a pretty easy endeavor.You would be suprised at the physical condition and effort, and the skill level BMX and skateboarding at that level takes.

The amount of conditioning required was astounding! You don't realize the conditioning needed to stop from a full on cross country pace to have the steadyness to have a heart rate solid enough to hit a target that was inches across.
Total respect for any athlete that can perform at these levels. If they make it look easy, it's because they spent years doing it.
So true! I was into racquetball for a time. Played enough and consistently that I thought I was pretty decent at it. I was in good physical conditioning and diligently played all that wanted to. And won way more than I lost.I raced 250B class MX at 19 and 20.
B class is the chase to get your Pro card, so that you are licensed to enter any Pro level heat race, to try and qualify for the main event, and try to make it as a pro.
There is such a Huge divide between good riders, and the pros...I stood no chance at all.
I dont think that the majority of the public understands just what pro level anything actually is.
The 1% of 1%, so many levels above what most can even comprehend.
Other mechanical machines are used such as bicycles and such......I’d say because the technology of the machine has a lot to do with winning. It’s a good question though.
When you go up against an actual athlete, it's freaking humbling at how good they are.
So while out walking my mind got wandering....the decathlon is basically based on ancient war fighting....why couldn't a modern version be included and have an obstacle course added or precision parachuting......or long range shooting with open sights with no targeting computers or advanced optics.....?
I have some familiarity with bowling.
In any given public league one may see scores of 269, 270, 280, 290, or the occasional 300. My pro shop guy said, “They think they are better than the pros.”
“TODAY? You are kidding.”
“No. They score higher than the guys on TV and so they think that they are better.”
You see, the oil pattern in public lanes is actually designed to make strikes. The oil patterns (many, not all) in the PBA are designed to prevent a strike at all costs. That “210” the guy on TV bowls might turn into a 160 for the guy in a public league who averages 250. Cannot tell them though. They do not even understand the details of their own sport.
What’s an oil pattern?
