|   MTB on TV | Flash

Thanks |

I guess from that ESPN didn't consider other forms of Mtn. Biking as being "real" sports. So, it doens't look like it will ever be on the X Games.
To answer your question, no , I haven't seen Mtn. Biking anywhere except OLN.

Mtn biking, imho can get ZERO coverage. it's better that way. that way our trails dont dissapear from these retard x-game losers tearing stuff up and digging trenches in perfectly good trails take the dirt and build jumps... WRONG. I would be a little understanding if they knew how to build a decent jump for me... but seriously.... this is my past time, I dont want to share it with a bunch of spoiled dolts who cant even appreciate what mtn biking is. Fark the X-games, Fark the media frenzied capitalist pigs, and Fark anyone who supports it. |

Oct 4, 2002 12:21 PM | | About 10-15 years ago, in the infancy of ESPN, they used to have XC mountain bike races on all the time in mid-afternoon around 4 or so. I used to watch it when I got home from school. |

Oct 4, 2002 8:47 PM | | Agreed. Totally laughable when I see some consider golf to be a sport -- sure, just as much as playing pool or video games! |

Oct 5, 2002 2:33 PM | | Pardon The Interuption on ESPN actually asked who the better athlete was, Tiger or Lance!! Wilbon said, "are you serious?!" But, of course, Kornheiser voted for Tiger to be different. |
