BMX RACING FEATURED ON NBC'S TODAY SHOW - WATCH IT

On April 30, NBC, the official US Olympic broadcaster for the 2008 Games, is giving BMX its 15 minutes of fame. The NBC Today Show, which is expected to draw more than 6 million viewers, will be filmed ‘Live’ from Rockefeller Plaza in downtown, New York City. Two separate live segments will be filmed to showcase the sport and create hype for the Olympics.

You might even see Meredith Vieira aboard a GT or Free Agent bike and she’ll be joined by several other co-hosts and three well-known Olympic Hopefuls; Kyle Bennett, Donny Robinson and Arielle Martin. A few younger riders will also be featured on the program to give the audience a true perspective on the sport, so be sure to watch the whole show.

The project was coordinated in part by NBC, NBL, ABA, and proudly sponsored by Free Agent Bicycles, GT Bicycles, Fly Racing, Fire-Magic Premium Grills, Jig-A-Loo, and Pro-Gate.

Here are the exciting details:
The Track: Mini-First straight, approx 120’, with a roller and 16’ set of doubles. A modified 2-person start gate, emulating the Olympic gate, will be perched on a special start-ramp to showcase the start. The track will be built by Tom Ritzenthaler, who built the Olympic track in Beijing, China.
