I watched some of Made this morning on MTV. They had a girl learn how to race BMX. She was pathetic! I seen the others where one girl learned how to skate park and one girl learned how to do a backflip on a freestyle bike (thanks Woodward!). Those girls were cool.
But when she finally did her big race, she could not pedal through any obstacle, including a bermed turn, and she finally crashed on a small whoop at maybe 10 mph. There was a huge shock in the crowd, even though she was wearing a full face helmet and a full pad set.
I was thinking about it when I answered a newbie's question about learning to ride. I think about the zillion falls with only people's scorn to keep me going, and this is really pathetic.
The best part is when they get the Yoga instructor to give her advice. It would have been funny to see the Yoga instructor race BMX and see how she deals with the stress of crashing.
