sweet thats huge
It's the olympic training track in socal somewhere i believe its a exact replica of the track in beijing
the US team had an exact replica of the Olympic course for months before August 8th - enabled them to train and nail every jump
muhhhh?! I was just saying that one guy built two huge tracks entirely by himself and it wasnt funny at all and it makes me gay!
He designed one track and directed the build crew for the actual track in China, and the one here in california. Thats a fact.
sweet pic!! and wheres the race photos of all of them doing the gap haha. you'd have enough time to fight in the air

That's such a sick gap, I can't believe that they had something so sweet in the Olympics. 35' of awesomeness. I'd never be able to hit that on my DH bike let alone a fully rigid 20" wheeled BMX.
bmx is the foundation of racing and led into dirt jumping, i dont think you downhillers and mtb riders understand that mountainbikes was pretty much brought out to go down hills and dirt tracks with bumps in, then followed bmx, and still is following bmx now!
you need to open your eyes and go on youtube or something and look at bmx dirt jumping and racing.

TaylorBrett15. Dj, 4X and slopestyle 'follow' bmx riding in that there are only certain combos of tricks that are possible (and I sometimes wonder why they don't just ride bmxs) BUT there are many things that you just couldn't do on a bmx that you can on a mountain bike. Do you really think Sam Hill just copies bmxers? You are a prime example of the kind of narrow minded twat who can't accept that the things they do arn't the best for everything and that other people are having fun. BMXing is not the 'leader' in mountain biking in general as all the disaplines are almost different sports. Your opinion is grown from ignorance and stupidity. f*ck off
(hate to piss on your parade but actually, the conventional 26" wheeled bike came first anyway dickface)

Who cares how it all started we all love and inavate the sport to where it is today so stop hateing and start loving
I wasn't hating if that is aimed at me btw, I was just pointing out that there are many disaplines in biking and that no one of them is 'better' than any other. Just clearing that up 
Where did you get the word "better" from? No one used it in this little argument for you to quote it from.

It seems to be the replica track in Chula Vista (California) which was built/designed as the Olympics track by Tom Ritzenthaler (the UCI Track Builder). Size is not exceptional for BMX Supercross.
Before thinking about the corner jump, you first have to clear perfectly the jumps before. Following movie on Youtube gives an indication of the entire 2nd straight:

(the guy with the white helmet did a toboggan on that double during his 2nd qualification run at the Olympics!)

It's one of them. there were multiple replica tracks all over the country. We have one in Colorado springs they are so crazy!! but the pros love it!

Jump is huge and nice.
But I just smile when think about that the americans had a chance to train in exact same track as was in Beijing and still, none of them did take first place.

it's not a train, the photographer holds the button down on his camera, taking multiple pictures in a short period of time, then he just overlapped them
